Bend 2030 Charter Review Forum Two: Your Input

Join us from 5-7 p.m. on Nov. 1 at the Central Oregon Collective to give your input on critical questions such as:

Does our current city council structure offer Bend citizens the best leadership possible for addressing our complicated population, housing, transportation and livability issues?

Bend 2030, the Bend Chamber of Commerce and City Club of Central Oregon are partnering to present this two-part charter review event series this fall to give you the tools and the forum to answer this question for yourself.

At the first charter review forum, community members shared more than 50 questions they believe are important to consider in a charter review process.

Read the report of their input here.

We’ve curated the ones they deemed most important and now we’re asking you to weigh in. Give your input on the following:

• Should Bend residents begin electing a mayor? If yes, what powers should they have?
• Should Bend implement a ward system with councilors elected from each area of town? If yes, how many wards should there be?
• Should councilors be paid more than the current $200 per month? If yes, what negative and positive affects could that have?
