It is the policy of the City of La Pine to provide, within constitutional limitations, for fair housing throughout the City of La Pine for all residents.
The federal Fair Housing Act protects your right to rent an apartment, buy a home, obtain a mortgage, or purchase homeowners insurance free from discrimination based on:
• Race

• Religion
• Gender
• National Origin
• Disability (mental and physical)
• Familial Status (presence of children under 18 in the home)

Crescent Creek Residents you may notice a little dust and noise until the end of February (weather permitting) due to Fiber Optic Rebuilds by Bend Broadband in your area. McKenzie Cascade is performing the work and wanted us to thank you all for your patience as this project unfolds.
Cagle Area Residents:
We want to assure you that we are aware of the current road conditions. We have plans and budgeted funds to make improvements this spring. We want to make all efforts to use your tax dollars in a manner that not only adds value to your neighborhood, but is also fiscally responsible. During the winter months, it’s not feasible or economically sound to do this work. Once things have thawed out we will be addressing the roads. We thank you for your patience and look forward to Springtime!
La Pine Residents: ALERT
We received notice from Chief Supkis, of the La Pine Rural Fire Protection District, of an active chip fire at an industrial site at the end of Russell Road (and just west of Darleen Way). This situation is similar to the Quick Silver Pile that burned this past fall. The fire department is aware and monitoring the situation.
Huntington Meadows Area Residents:
Bend Broadband is in the process of upgrading their fiber optic lines in La Pine. Next week they will start doing so in your area. The trucks you see may not say Bend Broadband, as they have contractors working on the project. Their goal is to have a minimal impact, but you can expect some minor disruptions to traffic and potential noise if they do street cuts.
They asked us to pass along their appreciation of your patience as they make these improvements around the City of La Pine.

What is an advisory committee?
The City has two advisory committees: 1) the Budget Committee (for this committee you must live inside city limits and be a registered voter), and 2) the Planning Commission. Each advisory is set up a little differently and has a different role. They all have one thing in common though - they provide the City Council with recommendations for decision making. If you would like to know more about one of these advisory boards, please click the link below:
