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.

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%.

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.
