Missing a Bike?

A bicycle was left at Village Green Park for over a week, so our City staff have picked it up and are keeping it safe.

If you think it might be yours, please stop by or give City Hall a call at 541-549-6022. We’d love to help get it back to its owner.

The Deschutes County Board of Commissioners will hold a public hearing tomorrow, Thursday, October 22, at 4 p.m. at Sisters City Hall to consider the proposed Sisters Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) expansion. Community members are encouraged to attend and share their input. Visit the County’s post below for meeting details and additional information.

The Deschutes County Board of Commissioners will hold a public hearing on Thursday, Oct. 22, to consider a proposed expansion of the Sisters Urban Growth Boundary, or UGB.

After numerous informational meetings and feedback from a citizen advisory committee, Sisters city officials proposed expanding the UGB to meet the community’s growing needs for housing, jobs, parks and open space. The proposal would add nearly 319 acres of land on the northeast side of the existing UGB. A map of the proposed area is available at this link.

An agreement between the City of Sisters and Deschutes County requires both governments to approve the UGB changes. The Board of Commissioners will review the proposal and hear public comments before making a decision. Community members are encouraged to share their feedback.

If approved, the County would update its Comprehensive Plan to include properties in the Sisters UGB expansion. The changes would prepare the land for future annexation into the city limits.

The public hearing will be held at 4 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 22, at Sisters City Hall, 520 E. Cascade Ave.

The public may attend and comment in person or participate online. Login information and the meeting agenda are available at deschutescounty.gov/meetings.
