Here are the meeting notes for the two February Bend City Council meetings, which took place the first and third Wednesdays as always.

• Bend City Council meeting notes, 2/5/20 (MS Word)
• Bend City Council meeting notes, 2/19/20 (MS Word)

Honestly a little dry this month, though at the meeting on the 19th there is the part that made the news about the “Resolution discouraging the feeding of deer and other wildlife,” which has me wondering, is this just a statement? Is there a defined consequence incurred if you’re caught feeding deer within the city limits? Who’s investigating and enforcing this if so?

(Short answers—nope, not with this resolution. The Bulletin had an editorial discussing it.)

And unrelated to deer and wildlife, but relevant to the City Council, two other stories via The Bulletin:

• Bend City Councilor Chris Piper announces run to keep his seat
• Local attorney Melanie Kebler to run for Bend City Council
