I think the fire department needs and should have the needed funds definitely. However it should come from other County department spending! I pay over $7,200.00 per year in property tax, thats $600.00 per month. Thats way to much now!, it needs to come other from county funds!.

To much monéy. We are all affected by higher prices maybe .25-.30 property taxes are high in Central Oregon. Next will be the police, the school district, the parks dept. Every agency wants more what about the elderly trying to keep their housing?

No, we already pay so much in taxes that you're going to add to the homeless situation. Many people are on a fixed income. These taxes are going to price people out of a home.

Take money from Parks and Rec. We most certainly don't need any more parks or trails. Taxes aren't for entertainment. The city is spending like drunken sailors and are a big reason that Bend is unaffordable. Property taxes are much to high. We need conservatives in city positions.

Don't call 911 if your house catches on fire if you're not willing to vote for this. And in DWR, there's a much higher probability.

Beginning to look like the city wants to be a mini Portland. Not what Central Oregon is all about.

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.
