Guide Your City’s Path Forward

We invite you to guide your City’s path forward as the Bend City Council embarks on their biennial goal setting process.

Every two years the Bend City Council asks the community what they believe the most important issues are for the City of Bend to focus on. These community priorities are incorporated into Council Goals that drive budgets and staff work over the biennium.

In December and January, Councilors and staff will collect input from community members through a variety of opportunities across Bend and online. The below timeline outlines important benchmarks during the goal setting process.

The City of Bend is excited to host a series of community events to gather input on the most important issues in Bend that you would like your local government leaders to do something about!

See the below calendar of events for upcoming opportunities to learn about goal setting and provide your input in person.

Bend Community Survey

The City of Bend recently conducted a statistically valid survey of Bend residents focused on community priorities, to assist in the Council’s goal setting. You can view a presentation of these survey results during the Jan. 22 Council Meeting.
