I made a public records request back in January about some land that the city of Bandon had purchased and wanted to post it.  Many of us suspect the city was looking at this property as a possible place to put the pool.  The city has backed off the idea, but that does not mean they are not working on this project behind the scenes.  
​The following is the response the Bandon city manager sent back....Rob T.

Hello,
Could you please send me all the info on the recent purchase of the Face Rock golf course next to best western?
What money source was used to purchase this land?
What are the city's intentions for this property?  
How much will the city lose in property taxes?

Hello Rob

The City of Bandon purchased the former Face Rock Golf Course property for $250,000 on a five-year privately carried note from the seller. General fund money was used to make the purchase costs and initial payment. We will be looking for grant opportunities to assist with the completion of the purchase.
This property is just over 37 acres in size and is almost completely zoned Natural Resource (NR). There is one small portion that is zoned CD-1. The City will go through the process to determine exactly what will happen with the property in the coming years, beginning with discussions at the Parks and Recreation Commission level. The general intent is to make it a part of the City park system and utilize it for walking, hiking, exercise, education and similar activities. The initial concept and final design of the park will be determined during the public processes, as mentioned above. If things work out on the calendar we may introduce the discussion during the February Parks & Rec meeting. The property is identified in the Parks Master Plan.
The 2018 property tax assessment was $2,058.64.

Sorry Rob.  I gave you the incorrect purchase price. The purchase price was $225,000, not $250,000.
