Still Burnin’?
Just two months ago, it looked like the Bend City Council was moving
full speed ahead to ban all open burning within city limits in an
effort to clean up the city's air, but now it appears that a complete
ban on burning yard waste and other debris isn't in the cards.
At
last week's meeting, the council discussed an ordinance that would ban
open burning, except during two days in November - a divergence from
earlier indications that the city might ban all forms of burning. By
the end of the discussion, however, the council decided by way of a
four-to-three vote to amend the proposed ordinance to allow burning
during the two-day November period, but only on parcels of land two
acres or larger with a Fire Department-issued permit. The council has
not approved the ordinance, but will revisit the item at future
meetings.

You can add "Police Chief" to the help wanted list for the city of Bend. After almost a decade serving as the head of the Bend Police Department, Chief Andy Jordan announced his retirement earlier this week.
The city council was told of Jordan's retirement at a work session Monday night and the city has yet to name a replacement to take over when he steps down at the end of March.
