New Online Payment System for Utility Bills
This week the City launched the Invoice Cloud online payment system for utility bills. This system is an expedited replacement of the Click2Gov system that may have been the target of a potential data security incident in late 2019. For customer safety and security, payment information from the old online payment system was not migrated to the new system. Customers who have online payments scheduled to process on or after May 18 in the old online payment system will need to register an account in the new system to re-enroll in AutoPay or set up scheduled payments. Customers can register and re-enroll at www.invoicecloud.com/bendorutility. If customers prefer not to pay online, they can still pay by phone, drop-box, or by mail. For more information and a list of FAQs, visit the Utility Billing page on the City’s website.
COVID-19 (Novel Coronavirus) Resources
The City of Bend has created a COVID-19 website. This website contains pertinent information related to COVID-19. It covers everything from where you are able to recreate, to city resources for those in need. The website can be accessed here: https://www.bendoregon.gov/services/covid-19-information
The City of Bend has extended the COVID-19 local state of emergency and administrative order discouraging travel to Bend.
“Extending the state of emergency and the travel order helps us support the health and safety of our community as we begin the phased process of reopening,” said City Manager Eric King.
The declaration of a local state of emergency allows for temporary emergency policies related to procurement practices, facility closures, employee teleworking and public meeting protocols. It also says:
The extended declaration of a local state of emergency can be found here. It was extended through Phase II of the Governor’s Reopening Oregon plan (which explains phasing). The start and end dates of Phase II have not been established by the state yet. Phase II could begin as early as June 5, if Deschutes County is able to meet state criteria for entering Phase II.
The City Manager has also updated an order discouraging tourist travel and related activities in Bend through the completion of Phase I. In Deschutes County, Phase I began May 15 and could end on June 5 at the earliest, if Deschutes County meets state criteria to begin Phase II of reopening. Under this order:

The declaration of a local state of emergency allows for temporary emergency policies related to procurement practices, facility closures, employee teleworking and public meeting protocols. It also says:
- The City won’t shut off water for non-payment of unpaid water bills during Phase I of reopening, and potentially into Phase II.
- Permitted special events are not allowed through Phase II, except for farmer’s markets on public property (exempt from the Governor’s order).
- The City has flexibility to allow additional space on sidewalks, parking areas or streets for eligible business operations to meet COVID-19 public health guidelines, provide a safer environment for customers and employees, and to stimulate the recovery and support of local businesses.

- All stays at temporary lodging facilities in Bend are highly discouraged, unless for reasons of health, safety or employment.

DESCHUTES NATIONAL FOREST CLOSES CAMPGROUNDS
Deschutes National Forest campgrounds will be closed through at least May 8. The campground closures are necessary to address the social distancing guidelines provided by the Centers for Disease Control and to align with Governor Brown’s “Stay at Home” executive order. Day use areas, including trailheads, will remain accessible, however restroom facilities will not be serviced.
ST. CHARLES CLINICS OFFER VIRTUAL OPTIONS
St. Charles Health System’s outpatient clinics announced new options to help protect patients and caregivers, preserve medical supplies and conserve space. The new services include e-visits for St. Charles Family Care patients and doctor visits by phone and video. The health system is also setting up surge tents at clinics to care for symptomatic patients. Read more about these new options and changes on the St. Charles website.
PRESCRIBED BURNS SUSPENDED
The Deschutes and Ochoco National Forests and Crooked River National Grassland have announced that all prescribed fire ignitions have been postponed until further notice. This decision will prevent any effects from smoke that might further worsen conditions for those who are at risk in our communities, while reducing exposure for employees who might not otherwise need to travel, and creating social distancing for resources working on a fire.
DMV OFFICES CLOSE TO PUBLIC
Under the Governor’s “Stay Home, Save Lives” Executive Order, only six Oregon DMV offices will remain open, by appointment only, for commercial driver knowledge tests and commercial driver license issuance. Many DMV services remain available through OregonDMV.com and through the mail.
