Resident tells La Pine council dust from Autotrendz is causing health problems
Summary
A La Pine resident urged the council to consider dust and chemical exposure from nearby Autotrendz, saying he experienced nosebleeds and needed inhalers; he reported law enforcement and a private attorney found no violations and brought the matter to the council for awareness.
At the April 8 meeting, resident Mik Lee Faughly Jr. told the City Council that dust from a neighboring business, Autotrendz, is being blown into his home and has caused health problems for his household.
Faughly said he contacted the Deschutes County Sheriff's Office and was told "no laws are currently being violated," and that after consulting a private attorney he was unable to pursue legal action. He described symptoms he attributed to the exposure, including nosebleeds and the need to use inhalers, and asked the council to be aware of the issue and consider options.
Council did not take formal action during the meeting. City staff did not record any immediate enforcement steps in the transcript; the city manager and mayor clarified jurisdictional limits on certain roadway and traffic issues elsewhere in the meeting but did not offer a regulatory remedy for a private business nuisance during the public comment period.
