In the absence of Eagle Bend’s Mayor Delvin Salathe and Acting Mayor Tim Notch, Brad Lorentz and Steve Weishair, of the city council, quickly appointed fellow Council Member Bruce Anderson to preside over the meeting. The longest discussion dealt with questions raised by local citizens about kids running the streets and cars roaring around all hours of the night. City Administrator Kevin Hess explained there is a curfew and Police Chief Dustin Alexander is doing a good job but can’t be there all the time. The council agreed to publish the ordinance so everyone is aware of the curfew.
