The BulleTin • Thursday, June 30, 2022 A13 Wildfire The exterior of the Downtown Bend Public Li- brary in 2020. Continued from A1 In mid-May, Gov. Kate Brown warned that this year’s fire season could be extreme due to drought and climate change. But May and June were relatively cool and wet in the Pacific North- west, lowering drought levels across the region. Oregon’s only remain- ing swath of exceptional drought — the highest level of drought according to the U.S. drought monitor — is in an area straddling Crook and Jefferson counties. “Considering the ex- tremely wet spring, it is not a major surprise that when asked about their area of Or- egon, Oregonians’ concern for wildfire has decreased a bit since May of last year,” ac- cording to a statement from the polling group. While the fear of fire dan- ger in the short term has been slightly lowered, 88% of respondents expect wildfires to increase during the next 10 years. Nine out of 10 Or- egonians (92%) see wildfires as a serious threat to “people living in Oregon.” However, not as many people believe they are in harm’s way. Just six out of 10 respondents (60%) see wildfire as a very or some- what serious threat in their communities. Five out of 10 people (53%) see wildfires as a direct threat to themselves and their families. When asked about their greatest concerns over the impacts of fire, most Orego- nians (83%) said they were worried about the health impacts of smoke. Loss of wildlife and fish habitat reg- istered as the second-highest level of concern among Or- egonians, with 82% saying they had great or moderate concern. ryan Brennecke/ Bulletin file photo Library Continued from A1 Central Oregon Fire information The Rosland Road Fire, northwest of La Pine in July 2020. “Considering the extremely wet spring, it is not a major surprise that when asked about their area of Oregon, Oregonians’ concern for wildfire has decreased a bit since May of last year.” — Oregon Values and Beliefs Center statement Nearly eight out of 10 (79%) respondents had moderate or great concern about the loss of public for- estland. “We already lost so many trees to logging, we should try to save as many as we can,” said Mandee Seeley, a Deschutes County resident. Another Deschutes County resident, Robin Johnson, said the best way to deal with fires is for fire offi- cials to attack and extinguish them instead of letting for- est fires burn naturally. “The fires can quickly get out of control, so they need to be managed,” said Johnson. “In addition, the smoke impacts larger portions separate from the fire causing respira- tory issues, and the fire may take out habitat.” Survey results show that 75% of Oregonians agree with Johnson. The remain- ing respondents lean toward or agree with, the idea of al- lowing a wildfire to burn out naturally. A respondent from Polk County, who declined to be named, was blunter when it comes to managing wild- fire. “We just can’t let our state burn to the ground,” she said. Just how many Orego- nians have had to evacuate due to wildfire? According to the survey, 19% of re- spondents said they have evacuated their homes due to wildfire. Some 43% of re- spondents said they have an evacuation plan in place. The Oregon Values and Beliefs Center is an inde- pendent, nonpartisan orga- nization. The center part- nered with Pamplin Media Group and the EO Media Group, which owns The Bulletin. The survey has a margin of error of about 2.5%. █ Reporter: 541-617-7818, mkohn@bendbulletin.com The board chose the land after a months-long property search to find an alternative. Earlier this year, the Bend City Coun- cil rejected an amendment that would have allowed the library to move forward on the original site in north Bend. During the meeting Wednesday, which was held virtually, board members said they like the location because it is on the east side of town, where most new residential de- velopment is happening, and because they believe it will al- low for easy access for the pub- lic and for transporting library materials. “I think this one consistently came to the top,” said Ann Malkin, a board member. It also satisfies a concern from the public, which has been asking the library for months to build something on the east side of town, said Todd Dunkel- berg, Deschutes Public Library director. The one vote against the pur- chase came from board mem- ber Ray Miao, who said he liked the fact the property is on the east side of Bend, but worried about the cost of the land. This land costs significantly more than what the library paid for the first property, which cost roughly $1.3 million. Miao said he wanted to dis- cuss whether the library should investigate buying a smaller piece of property, since designs will likely need to be scaled down anyway, given that more money will be put toward pur- chasing the property. “I think as a library board member, I need to know that before I make a decision using the public’s money,” Miao said. The new property will objec- tively be more expensive than the library’s original property, Dunkelberg said. It costs more in part because the property will come with amenities like utilities and roads, and that brings more value. The library would have had to build these on the previously considered property, he said. Finding a property that was big enough and available was also a challenge, Dunkelberg said. The library looked into several properties in east, north and south Bend. “There are not a lot of prop- erties available in Bend,” Dun- kelberg said. With the letter of intent signed, the library will now en- ter into three months of a due diligence process, where specif- ics — like exact designs — will be investigated before entering a purchase and sale agreement. If everything stays on sched- ule, the library will be built by the fall of 2025, Dunkelberg said — about a year behind the library’s original timeline. No decisions have been made about whether to sell or keep the original property in north Bend, he said. █ Reporter: 541-633-2160, bvisser@bendbulletin.com C lassifieds bendbulletin.com 100 NOTICES 660 SERVICES 728 Dogs, Cats, Pets 102 Public Notices 105 Lost & Found 664 Services Australian Shepherd puppies.
