City parts ways with
planning director
The City of Sisters has
parted ways with Community
Development Director Patrick
Davenport, bringing to an end
his five-year tenure in the
Sisters planning department.
The community develop-
ment department will con-
tinue to process land use
applications and permits with
Nicole Mardell, senior plan-
ner undertaking the burden of
the work with support from
Cory Misley and City legal
counsel.
Misley told The Nugget
that he hopes to have a job
offering out in a couple of
weeks, but he does not expect
a new community develop-
ment director to be in place
for a while.

Working closely with the
League of Oregon Cities
(LOC), we have been able
to stay connected to the
conversations in Salem and
lobby to be able to access
those additional funds.
Last Friday, the City sub-
mitted its first COVID-19-
related reimbursement to the
state. We will continue to
stay engaged with that evolv-
ing situation in hopes of
accessing additional funding.
In the meantime, regional
partners like the Central
Oregon Intergovernmental
Council (COIC) have been
instrumental in securing
some funds for supporting
our community economic
recovery, and we thank them
for that work.
Overall, the City has been
exploring and implementing
a multi-faceted approach to
balancing safety and pros-
perity, and will be busy in
June continuing in that role.
Congratulations…

will be preparing draft reso-

Council meeting.
The City is involved in
the discussion at the state
level regarding funding from
the first stimulus package
(CARES Act). There was
$1.6 billion distributed to
the state of Oregon. Given
population thresholds, only
Multnomah and Washington
counties and the city of
Portland received direct
funding. The rest is to be
allocated by the state for the
other 34 of 36 counties and
240 of 241 cities in Oregon.
There is hope that clar-
ity on this topic will emerge
in the coming weeks, and
include direct use of funds
for economic recovery. If
so, it is important to ensure
that the City of Sisters main-
tains its eligibility and can
access those funds to fur-
ther support our community.

The City has extended its
emergency declaration until
June 24, by way of adminis-
trative order. The emergency
declaration enables the City
to adopt temporary poli-
cies swiftly and be eligible
for potential reimburse-
ment of COVID-19-related
expenses.
Administrative orders
have been used to implement
several temporary policies
and have that power vested
through the emergency dec-
laration. The City is working
on items within its control to
end the emergency declara-
tion status as soon as pos-
sible. In order to do that, all
temporary policies that are
desired to extend beyond the
emergency declaration must
be prepared and adopted
by resolution of the City
Council. Currently, staff is
