City of Bend careers

Among the city governments a public-sector candidate might weigh, Bend, Oregon's is among the more compact: four departments, Administration, Community Development, Public Safety, and Public Works, cover the whole organization. Inside them sit the units residents actually deal with: water and sewer service, permitting and building safety, a municipal court, police, and code enforcement. Transportation and parking, growth management under Oregon's land use system, and economic development round out the list, so the compact structure still spans real breadth.
