BEND, OR -- Should Bend elect its Mayor instead of the position selected by current City Councilors? Should Councilors be paid more? These are some of the questions to be addressed at upcoming forums hosted by Bend 2030, the Chamber and City Club.

Erin Foote Morgan, with Bend 2030, says they are looking for public feedback. "Both Jim Clinton and Victor Chudowsky are two folks currently on the Council who feel this is a strong, important question for Bend. And then, our partners, the Chamber of Commerce and City Club have also coalesced around this being just one of the most important questions for Bend as we consider whether we have the right leadership to deal with population growth, our housing, transportation and livability issues."
