" City Council agreed
to move ahead with final-
izing the Intergovernmental
Agreement (IGA) with
the Oregon Department of
Transportation (ODOT)
which defines the roles and
responsibilities of each party
regarding acquiring all of the
right-of-way areas required
for the future roundabout
at East Cascade and Locust
Street.
An independent fee
appraiser will prepare an
appraisal of the property,
which may take up to 60
days. That appraisal then
goes to the ODOT review
appraiser for approximately
30 days. Following the
appraisal and review, an
offer will be made to Sisters
School District for purchase
of the property located at the
southwest corner of the ele-
mentary school property and
a small piece across North
Locust on the administra-
tion headquarters property.
The hope is to have a deal
struck with the school dis-
trict by late summer/early
fall and have the transfer of
the property to ODOT com-
pleted in eight to 12 months
from now.
" A joint City Council/
Planning Commission
meeting is scheduled for
Thursday, April 22 at 4 p.m.,
available on Zoom at https://
zoom.us/j/92805488729
to discuss the recently
completed Urban Growth
B o u n d a r y S u ff i c i e n c y
Report and get an update
on the Comprehensive Plan
project. The public may join
the Zoom meeting.
" In recognition of 2021
being the 75th anniver-
sary of the incorporation
of Sisters, at the start of
each City Council meeting
a Jubilee Minute will be
observed with the reading of
a passage from Council min-
utes of years gone by.
" As the holding ponds at
the City9s sewer treatment
plant were pumped out
by Clean Harbors
Environmental Services
Inc., it was discovered that
there was more sludge in
the bottom than anticipated.
This is the first time the
ponds have been pumped
out since the City activated
the sewer system 20 years
ago, and the company that
installed the system had esti-
mated that 20 years would
be soon enough.
Public Works Director
Paul Bertagna told Council
that from here on out, the
ponds will be pumped every
seven to 10 years. An addi-
tional $61,908 was approved
by the Council to cover the
extra days and services
required to complete the job.
Even with the additional
fee, the entire project has
come in under the budget of
$250,000.
" Finance Director Joe
O9Neill told Council that
his department is deep in
preparations for the upcom-
ing budget season with
budget committee meetings
to review the 2021-22 pro-
posed budget scheduled for
May 17-18.
" Community Develop-
ment Director Scott Wood-
ford announced there will be
another virtual open house
for the public regarding the
updated Comprehensive
Plan in late May and a sur-
vey will be available regard-
ing City infill and the Urban
Growth Boundary.
" City Manager Cory
Misley noted that since
the onset of COVID-19,
all public events need to
have a public safety plan
approved by the Deschutes
C o u n ty P ublic He a lth
Department.
" Most of the work is
completed on the ADA
upgrade to the Creekside
Park bridge, according
to Public Works Director
Paul Bertagna. Due to dif-
ficulty securing the neces-
sary materials, the railing on
the ramps has not yet been
installed.
