CREEKSIDE: Council
is looking for more
recommendations
Continued from page 1
impacts other parts of the
plan.
Following the traffic
study, CPAB and staff will
design a new master plan for
the campground, which must
be approved by the Oregon
Department of Parks and
Recreation. Once the mas-
ter plan is approved, plan-
ning can begin for phasing-in
improvements to the camp-
ground as the budget and
grant opportunities allow.
In other business, Sisters
Area Chamber of Commerce
Executive Director Judy
Trego gave a comprehen-
sive presentation to Council
regarding ways in which the
Chamber is enhancing the
economic vitality of Sisters
Country through tourism
development and promotion,
business advocacy, and com-
munity support.
The small staff of one
part-time and two full-time
employees accomplishes
much for the benefit of the
city. Through collaboration
with partners and leverag-
ing of available dollars, the
Chamber spreads the mes-
sage that Sisters is a great
place to visit, live, and
work.
Following the airing of
a television ad, “Live Life
in the Moment,” promot-
ing Sisters during local and
national programs more than
90 times, the transient room
tax (TRT) income increased
in both January and February
of this year, usually a slower
time for tourists.
Trego is hopeful that the
Council will increase the per-
centage of the TRT received
by the Chamber from its
current 40 percent, which
represents 43 percent of the
Chamber’s budget. Overall,
City income from the TRT
has increased 11.5 percent
in the past year. Trego and
her board are working on
increasing year-round vis-
ibility of and opportunities in
Sisters Country.
Addressing another hot
topic for Sisters, repre-
sentatives of the Oregon
Department of Transportation
(ODOT) presented their
draft plan for outreach to
the community regarding
the proposed solution to
the Highway 20/Barclay/
McKinney Butte intersection.
They have reviewed all feed-
back gathered over the past
year from surveys, individual
emails, letters to the editor,
and public comment at meet-
ings. The data has been com-
piled to identify recurring
themes.
ODOT believes they have
a responsibility to address
the concerns of the citizens
and, if contact information
is available, ODOT will be
responding directly to the
individuals either in writing,
verbally (via telephone), or in
person.
The developer of the
new Clear Pine subdivision,
slated for construction north
of downtown and bounded
on the west by Pine Street,
is offering to dedicate a pro-
posed future one-and-a-quar-
ter-acre park to the City as a
public park.
The CPAB forwarded
their recommendation to the
Council to accept this offer of
dedication subject to details
of the terms of dedication
and amenity development.
Council is asking the CPAB
for their recommendations
regarding desired amenities,
which will probably involve
negotiations with the devel-
oper. Council directed staff

to work with the developer
and the CPAB to draft those
conditions and report back to
them.
Following an earlier
request by Mayor Chris
Frye, staff drafted a revision
to the municipal code that
would enable riding bicycles,
scooters and skateboards on
city sidewalks except for in
the downtown commercial
district. This would allow
children to safely ride their
bikes in residential areas
that have sidewalks, with-
out having to ride in the
street.
Two remaining vacan-
cies on the budget committee
were filled with the appoint-
ment of Chuck Ryan and
Vern Renner.
