A short term rental is being rented to a tourist. A houseless shelter invites more trouble to the area. Drugs run ramped in and around these places. As well as crime.

i would rather we didn't have homeless camps/squatters and such in our neighborhood. Stop with the hand outs.

The rental may cause problems for a few days. Shelter will be everyday.

Short term rental occupants often have little regard for the property. They have no prideof place. It's not their's. It's somebody else's prblem as far as taxes, insurance and liability. People in a homeless shelter are more likely to be appreciative and respectful of the space offered.

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.
