The city and the county never should have let it get to this point. If my property looked like that the city/county would be all over me. Why do they allow our public streets to get that bad?

It's about time this has been enforced. It is absolutely ridiculous that it has taken this long for this decision to be made.

They all need to find health for their lives. Living on the street isn't it. Most of the homeless in our county ,90%, are not from here and only came because ,"Bend would leave them alone.". (Quote from homeless interviewed.

It's about time. Our public officials have a responsibility to us tax paying residents. I live in this area, my life has been grossly disrupted for these years of their trashy lifestyle. I use to walk this area but no more! Being poor does not mean being dirty and trashy!

Definitely, we cannot let people be above the law because they are living on the street. Many are on drugs and not willing to change! 1500 complaints, it is about time honest taxpayers, contributing member's of society are taken into consideration! It is not just about the street folks!

I think the mobile homeless will now spread out through Bend neighborhoods or forest lands and move only when forced to do so.

Hopefully they'll move into city officials neighborhoods.

Piping the canals to conserve water is the logical next step. Where does Commissioner Adair think the wildlife got a drink before the canals were made over 100 years ago? I will admit reducing Junipers and reinvigorating our wild grasslands makes sense.

The canals were not put in as "water features" for people's backyards. Build your own water feature and pay for the water. This water is meant for agriculture.

Commission Adair, where do you think wildlife get water when irrigation water is off Oct-March? Please share your plan and funding strategy for removing 5 million juniper trees. What will happen to the wildlife that live in those trees. Your argument is weak.

Why do Bend residence have to accommodate Jefferson county. I'm sure someone up there can figure a way go pump the water they need out of Lake Billy Chinook

I agree with commissioner Patti Adair - there are other alternatives.

Wildlife has relied on these open canals for decades. There is no other option for critter water.
