Frank Claxton, a resident of Sisters, is the chief petitioner for two recall filings presented to and received by the City of Sisters on September 23. In both filings, with slightly different wording for cause, Claxton alleges that Mayor Jennifer Letz, and Council President Sarah McDougall have breached their responsibilities.

The petitioner and supporters are motivated by the Sisters City Council’s actions regarding the placement of a statue commemorating Lane Frost’s legendary 1987 ride of the bull Red Rock at Sisters Rodeo Grounds in the Locust Street/Highway 20 roundabout. A majority of Councilors, led by Letz and McDougall, have made it clear that they do not want to place the sculpture, titled “The Match” in that location, citing safety concerns. The City is creating an arts council to develop procedures and processes for public art placement.
