Deschutes County Commissioners are considering how to work with the city of Bend to manage vacant land in Juniper Ridge, north of the city limits. On Wednesday, Commissioners will hold a public hearing at 1 p.m. on two draft resolutions.

One would designate 170-acres of city and county-owned land as a Temporary Safe Stay Area, for people living in vehicles. The other outlines what services would be provided, like portable toilets, drinking water and trash service, in addition to case management for those living there.
