Silver Rail Elementary shooting response and school safety

Future costs unknown; speakers cite roughly $97 million in police spending over two fiscal years and potential SRO expansion costs, plus federal school safety grant opportunities.

Juniper Ridge Reserve Loan for Affordable Housing Projects

Up to $3.1 million of the $5 million reserve would be loaned to BURA, repayable over 12-18 years.

city council elections

No direct city budget hit, but fewer candidates can mean less scrutiny of how Bend spends your money.

Southeast Area supplemental transportation fee

Adds about $2,660 to a typical single-family home's transportation SDC (total $12,890), funding $11 million in road projects.

Wildfire Defensible Space Code

Staff noted significant new staffing and budget would be needed for a broad program; funding options discussed include reprioritizing existing funds and the 2028 fire levy.

Sign code amendments

Fewer permit requirements could lower costs for small businesses and sign applicants.

Outback Well Improvements

A facilities plan and an owner's representative contract for the projects are scheduled for the May 20 meeting.

Tax Increment Assistance policy for housing affordability

Exemptions would lower construction costs for qualifying affordable and middle-income homes but shrink fee revenue and policy coverage.

Lonza enterprise zone tax exemption

Property taxes on $251 million of new investment are exempted up to ten years, with 15% school support fees collected in years four through ten.

Eminent domain for Reed Market Bridge Project

$32.3M federal; local share just under $14M mostly from the GO Bond.

Bend's eight-year housing need and safe harbors

No direct cost, but the shortfall shapes future city housing spending, SDC/fee policy, and state advocacy; federal PRO Housing grant work continues.

Lava/Delaware diverter rework

More public money is going into the pilot — boulders, barriers and ramps — that some residents say should go toward better alternatives like roundabouts and speed humps.

Employment growth forecast for land planning

Developers estimate current tree mitigation costs at roughly $10,000 per acre on industrial sites; a flat fee could lower that.

Caldera Ranch growth boundary expansion

Development-driven road, sewer and water improvements will be largely developer-funded, but city CIP projects like a future China Hat/Knott roundabout have no funding yet.

City–Park District Shared Framework

No direct cost identified; the framework is a partnership commitment rather than a spending measure.

Climate Pollution Fee on new gas appliances

Pacific Power filings cited potential 10-140% rate increases that critics say the city's 2% estimate doesn't reflect.

Core Area SDC exemption to spur redevelopment

The city has collected only about $500,000-$1 million a year in SDCs from tenant improvement projects, so the revenue hit is modest.

Neighborhood-Serving Commercial and VMT Goals

No direct fiscal impact identified; future code and comp plan changes could shape development incentives.

Bend Central District Economic Improvement District assessments rejected

Ends EID assessments on Bend Central District properties.

Street preservation and capital projects update

$4,344,446 total across four contracts, right at the preservation budget.
