From YouTube: History of Bend's Boundaries
Description
On Feb. 3, 2021 the Neighborhood Leadership Alliance (NLA) Boundaries Working Group met and received a presentation by Richard Ross, subject-matter expert and Old Bend Neighborhood Association Vice Chair. Ross's presentation walked the group through Bend's changing city limits from it's beginning in 1904 to present day, and provided a background to help the working group better understand the organic growth and unique obstacles that have led to Bend's boundaries today.

A
B
Thanks
what
I'll
do
is,
as
just
give
some
kind
of
a
head
signal
to
to
move
to
the
next
slide
when
the
time
is
right.
So
thank
you
for
the
introduction
and
I
would
say
that
I
certainly
have
enjoyed
being
part
of
these
different
groups
and
ben.
It's
helped
me
learn
fast
as
a
new
resident
in
2014.
B
I
could
learn
very
quickly
by
helping
write
and
develop
the
community
history
for
the
central
west
side
plan
and
it's
the
first
area
plan
that
the
city
has
done
where
they
actually
put
a
community
history
along
with
it.
I
have
a
degree
in
history,
so
I'm
I'm
kind
of
biased.
In
that
way,
I
think
you
get
to
take
a
look
at
history
first,
so
that's
what
we're
going
to
do
today
in
looking
at
how
ben's
boundaries
evolved
the
city's
boundaries
and,
to
probably
a
lesser
extent,
how
neighborhood
boundaries
neighborhood
boundaries.
B
I,
as
I
understand
it,
are
our
fairly
recent
thing.
The
officially
approved
boundaries
that
the
city
has
created,
but
I
I
think
that
boundaries
have
been
around
for
quite
a
while
in
banded
in
most
other
other
places,
so,
okay
cut
my
hand
up
next
slide.
B
B
Many
of
them
evolved
as
boundaries
before
or
neighborhood
areas
before
the
city
got
in
the
act
and
officially
recognized
neighborhood
associations,
and
I'm
not
sure
when
that
was,
I
think,
there's
been
informal
or
organized
associations
in
bend
neighborhoods,
probably
since
its
very
beginning
in
1904.
B
B
The
very
last
part
of
the
stack
of
of
people
or
population
should
be
92
840.,
that's
what
the
census
bureau,
or
the
portland
state
population
center
confirmed
for
2020,
so,
but
but
what
the
slide
shows
is
that
bend
has
grown
in
a
series
of
booms
and
not
not
any
complete
busts
where
it
lost
population,
but
booms,
starting
with
the
very
first
one
in
1920
it's
popular
boom,
the
population
almost
increase
increased
10
times,
or
maybe
it
did
increase
10
times
between
1910
and
1920..
B
There
was
a
lot
happening,
then,
for
the
sort
of
establishing
the
basic
fingerprint
of
the
city,
and
then
ben
grew
a
little
bit
slower.
It
took
40
years
to
double
again
by
1960.
B
It
was
doubling
we
were
doubling
and
and
then
doubled
again
in
a
shorter
time
by
1990.
But
then
the
whopper
in
growth
was
the
90s
in
terms
of
doubling
the
20
000
people
in
1990
to
over
52
000
in
2000..
B
So
the
last
20
years
haven't
been
the
the
champions
for
for
ben
growth,
but
still
it's
substantial
growth
that
we've
had
we've
have
dealt
with
in
the
last
20
years
and
I
think
we're
we
probably
are
in
better
shape
today
than
certainly
then
bend
was
in
1990
to
deal
with
dramatic
growth,
because
we've
we've
done
substantial
plans
and
the
other
thing
we've
done,
which
I
have
a
bias
towards
too,
because
my
my
background
is
in
mostly
in
transportation
planning.
B
Next,
so
I
I
I
put
together
this
this
chart
of
things
that
I
think
affect
both
neighborhood
boundaries
and
affected
the
the
city
boundaries
in
general
and
how
ben
developed-
and
I
was
really
surprised
and
pleasantly
surprised
when
I
read
all
of
the
the
surveys
that
were
done
last
month-
that
the
that
the
the
factors
that
I
had
identified,
almost
all
of
them
are
mentioned
in
the
surveys
that
some
of
you
filled
out
the
the
ones
that
I'd
call
attention
to
are
these
particularly
for
ben's
growth
and
then
we'll
take
a
look
at
what
some
of
those
early
patterns
very
early
patterns
were.
B
After
this
slide,
major
natural
features
seems
like
a
no-brainer
that
always
affects
how
cities
grow,
and
I
I
put
I
identified
two
of
them,
the
river
and
the
buttes
and
then
non-natural
futures
and
there's
a
lot
of
those
and
the
more
that
the
city
grows.
The
more
non-natural
features
there
are,
but
this
it
starts
out
with
planted
or
planned
communities
and
by
plant
communities.
I
don't
mean
just
northwest
crossing
any
any
community
that
has
a
subdivision.
Plat
was
a
planned
community
and
including
the
1904
platt
of
the
town
site
of
bend.
B
Then
then,
big
transportation
facilities
come
into
play,
particularly
in
bend.
Railroads
railroads
major
railroads
were
here
before
major
highways,
and
they
are
extremely
important
because
they're
very
hard
to
move
once
you've
got
it
in
place
and
and
they
and
they
also
have
things
that
depend
on
them,
like
mills
and
industrial
districts
that
are
also
hard
to
move.
Then
then
we
have
major
streets.
I'm
sorry,
then
we
have
the
industrial
districts.
B
Industrial
districts
are
also
something
that
stick
around
for
a
long
time
and
their
footprint
is
big
often,
and
it
often
remains,
and
for
example,
we
have
the
footprint
of
the
two
big
mills,
rick
scanlon
and
sheldon
hickson,
and
the
footprint
remains
in
the
old
mill
district.
That's
brook
scanlan
and
then
sheldon
hickson
is
across
the
river
to
the
on
the
west
side.
With
all
of
the
redevelopment
that's
occurred
there.
Those
big
sites
are
hard
to
assemble
again.
B
But
if
you
started
out
at
the
beginning,
like
the
mills,
did
they
had
a
lot
of
land,
then
other
things
that
are
important
equally
in
terms
of
how
cities
grow
or
neighborhoods
grow
or
expand
or.
C
B
Or
have
boundaries
are
parks
and
irrigation?
Canals
and
irrigation
canals
is
not
something
you'd
find
in
every
other
oregon
city.
So
that's
an
unusual
one
for
ben's
vents
growth
and
then,
of
course,
school
boundaries.
Now
the
the
three
things
I've
listed
at
the
bottom,
though
walkability
or
bikeability,
accessible
neighborhood
services
and
neighborhood
cohesion
are
different
factors
and
all
of
them
are
measurable,
but
it's
something
that
planners
and
communities
have
in
some
cases
have
just
started.
Measuring
and
walkability
for,
for
example,
though,
is
done
on
a
a
website.
B
Although
I
know
a
lot
of
communities
have
created
their
own
walk
scores
which
are
probably
more
accurate
than
zillow,
but
it's
it's
still
a
good
measurement
and
the
bad
news
from
walk
score
in
in
oregon.
The
bad
news
for
bend
is
vent
is
near.
The
bottom
of
major
cities,
in
terms
of
its
walk
score
and
part
of
that
is,
is
because
of
some
of
our
history
and
some
of
that
rapid
growth
may
have
contributed
to
the
original
city,
which
we'll
take
a
look
at
in
a
minute.
B
Here
was
extremely
walkable,
but
it
was
compact
and
small.
So,
let's
move
on
to
the
next
next
slide
and
take.
D
A
look:
we
have
a
hand
raised
by
yeah.
B
We'll
take
a
pause
for
questions
or
comments
on
this
first
four
slides
here
yeah.
This
is
kathy.
I
don't
know
that
my
video
is
showing.
I
just
thought
you
should
add
the
railroad
to
the
slide.
C
B
B
If
not,
I
don't
see
anything
okay.
Here
we
are
1904
the
town
side
of
bend,
the
the
ad
was
advertising
irrigated
lands
or
non-irrigated
lands.
Maybe
just
homestead
homestead
lands
outside
of
them
that
250
000
acres
of
rich
land
was
places
in
some
cases,
places
like
the
fort
rock
valley.
If
you're
familiar
with
that
that
it
wasn't
about
going
to
become
good
farmland,
but
still
they
they,
they
weren't
lying
about.
B
The
the
pine
timber
belt
bend
at
had
probably
the
some
of
the
greatest
concentrations
of
pine
in
the
northwest
of
old
growth
pine.
One
of
the
interesting
things
about
the
original
townsend
flat.
B
Is
it's
paying
attention
to
topography
if
the
streets
are
laid
out
to
be
be
along
the
river
and
then
other
streets
are
laid
out
east
west,
but
at
the
same
time
they're
avoiding
a
topographic
barrier
on
minnesota
street,
which
is
a
big
bluff
which
I
think
was
called
at
one
time
hospital
hill,
because
the
former
saint
charles
hospital
was
originally
located
there
and
so
the
this
is
what
I
mean
by
a
you
know:
a
plat,
the
plat,
this
plat
everything
else
grew
from
this
point.
B
B
So
here's
the
the
first
mayor's
house
and
you
might
recognize
it
it's.
B
Yeah,
it's
it's
it's
being
used
as
a
commercial
site
today
I
believe-
and
it
sits
I
think,
at
just
about
the
same
place.
It
might
have
been
moved,
but
anyway
it's
a
beautiful
craftsman,
style
home
right
on
the
on
the
river,
and
I
think
this
showed
the
two
sides
of
ben's
personality
in
1904
and
I'll
show
you
the
other
side
in
the
next
in
the
next
slide,
but
this
this
style,
I
would
call,
is
or
this
type
of
house
I
call
a
stylish
frontier
house.
They
were.
B
He
was
using
national
trends
in
architecture
at
the
time
and
local
materials,
and
then,
let's
take
a
look
at
the
next
slide.
B
Now
here
is
ben's
other
image,
not
the
stylish
frontier,
but
the
wild
frontier
and
the
the
city's
first
school
was
just
a
log
log
cabin.
I
don't
think
the
city
was
even
existing
at
the
time,
but
it
was
a
log
cabin
for
people
that
had
settled
near
the
central
part
of
bend,
but
you
know
they
were
training
their
students
in.
I
guess
making
bare
rugs
or
something
like
that,
but
it
showed
the
other
side
of
ben's
personality,
the
wild
frontier
side.
B
The
city
was
also
very
was
interested
in
improvements,
and
so
it
quickly
improved
its
original
core
area,
but
with
electricity.
The
electric
plan
on
the
river,
the
newport
dam
and
or
near
the
newport
dam
and
then
wooden
sidewalks
to
stay
out
of
the
dust
and
the
mud
of
those
streets
and
so
been
to
his
up-and-coming
city
from
the
very
beginning.
But
no
mills
yet
not.
B
1910
but
then
the
big
change
occurred
in
terms
of
transportation,
making
it
much
easier
to
get
in
and
out
of
central
oregon
and
to
have
things
like
large
mills,
and
so
this
this
is
just
day
and
night
change
onto
early
bend
by
1911
when
the
oregon
trunk
railway
made
it
here
from
the
columbia
river
gorge,
and
you
can
see
also
an
increased
number
of
people
getting
around
in
in
automobiles,
and
that
was
a
sign
of
the
future.
B
B
Bend
so
here's
the
two
big
mills
we're
looking
north
from
two
of
those
smokes
three
of
those
smoke
stacks
on
the
right
you'll.
You
could
probably
identify.
I
believe
those
are
the
rei
smoke
stacks
in
the
in
the
south
mill
then.
So
that's
the
brick
scaling
on
the
right
or
on
the
east
and
then
shevlin
hicks
in
on
the
west
side
of
the
river
sheldon
hickson
was
located
just
above
the
colorado
rapids
or
the
the
colorado
rapids
park,
and
that
was
that
was
the.
B
They
shared
a
common
mill
pond
and
you
can
see
it.
There's
lots
of
logs
waiting
out
there
to
be
processed
between
the
two
mills,
both
built
in
1915,
and
we
can
also
see
some
neighborhood
development
up
in
the
upper
right.
There.
That's
probably
old
bend
and
then
parts
of
river
west
are
developing
on
the
upper
upper
left
corner
and
these
neighborhoods
were
plunked
down
really
close
to
the
these
huge
mills,
and
I
get
you
know
in
those
days.
B
Maybe
the
folks
just
didn't
didn't
mind
as
much
the
smoke
that
that
came
out
off
of
the
mills,
because
the
the
mills
were
producing
good
wages
for
lots
of
people.
So
here
we
go
including
the
mill
owners
who
owned
this,
who
built
this
house
on
northwest
congress
street
and
you
probably
recognize
it.
It
is
built
for
the
manager
of
the
shevlin,
hicks
and
mill
and
the
plan
manager.
B
Unfortunately,
contract
tom
tom
shevlin
con
con
contracted
pneumonia,
the
winter
before
the
mill
opened
and
he
was
supposed
to
be
the
manager.
So
I
think
I
believe
that
the
house
was
probably
built
for
him
because
he
was
involved
in
all
the
plans
for
the
shetland
hicks
and
mill
brilliant
guy
ahead
of
his
championship
football
team.
At
yale,
then
we
saw
first
schools
or
first
substantial
schools
being
built
in
right.
About
the
same
time
the
mills
were
being
built
in
1914-15
and
and
read
school,
the
first
substantial
downtown
school.
B
Okay,
1917
is,
is
the
map
is
on
here
because
of
a
couple
of
things.
B
It
is
a
extreme,
an
extremely
accurate
map
put
out
by
the
sanborn
insurance
company
in
that
was
a
major
insurance
broker
at
the
time,
and
they
they
managed
to
convince
industries
and
sometimes
homeowners,
but
industries
and
commercial
development
all
over
the
united
states
that
they
needed
the
sandboard
maps
and
the
sandboard
maps
are
extremely
detailed,
and
if
you
live
in
an
area
of
the
city
where
you,
where
you
have
these
maps,
they're
going
to
tell
you
a
lot
about
who
lived
there
before,
how
many
bedrooms
there
are
on
the
house,
they
even
go
down
to
the
detail
of
pointing
out
where,
where
the
outhouses
were,
and
so
that
they're
a
map
series,
that's
that's
really
valuable.
B
But
what
it's
showing
here
too,
is
that
bend
has
has
has
started
to
grow
from
the
small
downtown
seed
we
are
now.
We
now
have
growth
in
several
directions
on
on
the
particularly
on
the
west
side
of
the
river
in,
and
I
think
it's
mostly
in
river
west
and
then
on
the
on
the
east
side
of
the
river
old
bend.
B
Has
completely
filled
in
and
we're
starting
to
see
growth
to
the
east
side
of
the
railroad,
which
is
our
which
are
you
know
several
several
current
neighborhoods
occupy,
but
the
railroad
really
is
the
big
important
thing
here.
The.
D
B
Yeah,
that's
rare,
and
the
the
other
thing
you'll
you
see
here
is
that
the
the
mill
railroad
peels
off
at
the
south
end
to
the
left,
and
so
that's
the
middle
railroad
that
served
both
of
the
mills
and
the
mills
had
miles
and
miles
of
railroad
track
to
the
south
of
bend
all
the
way
to
chemult
and
they.
B
So
the
footprint
of
the
mill
was
was
much
bigger
than
this
and
there's
actually,
I
believe,
a
mill,
stub
railroad
that
went
from
ben
to
sisters
through
through
the
chevron-hicks
and
mill
on
the
west
side.
So
the
the
both
these
companies
were
very
big
into
large-scale
logging
that
needed
railroads
to
get
the
logs
out.
B
So
all
those
where
did
all
those
students
live?
Well,
here's
delaware
avenue
in
1921
the
this
shows
something
else
that
was
not
rare,
but
it
was
pretty
remarkable
about
bend
and
it's
it's
the
two
big
mills.
This
was
probably
subsidized
housing
for
shepherd
hickson
employees.
B
It
was
called
a
model
neighborhood
and
it
this
neighborhood.
According
to
most
reports,
a
lot
of
these
houses
could
have
been
built
by
mill
workers
because
the
the
companies
provided
subsidized
lumber
for
their
for
their
workers
to
build
their
own
houses.
Why
would
they
do
that?
B
They
were
looking
for
a
more
stable
workforce,
there's
a
lot
of
unrest
in
the
northwest
at
the
time,
among
mill
workers,
but
not
not
in
bend.
These
were
happy
workers
because
there
were
happy
families
here
and
the
both
mills
felt
that
family
employees
were
better
than
non-family
employees,
and
so
they
tried
to
make
some
good
places
for
them
to
live.
They
also
created,
I
think,
some
event,
one
of
men's.
First
hospitals.
There
was
a
hospital
just
for
mill
workers
located
right
near
the
colorado
avenue
bridge
on
the
east
side.
C
B
Thank
you,
okay.
Moving
on
next.
B
So
here's
here's
another
snapshot
of
the
city
1926..
These
are
actually
my
favorite
maps.
Along
with
the
sandboard
maps
with
similar
maps,
you
can
find.
B
All
kinds
of
little
details,
but
with
the
usg
geological
survey
maps
you
see,
see
things
that
are
prioritized
it'll
tell
you
where
the
you
know
that
the
elves
california
highway
was
now
stretching
north
and
south
of
bend
very
important,
because
that
was
showing
that
the
the
the
state
highway
system
had
just
been
created
a
few
years
before
that,
and
they
were
getting
you
know,
ben
was
getting
a
tremendous
amount
of
north-south
traffic
on
that
dalles
california
highway
so,
but
it
also
shows
the
city
is
growing
a
little
bit
around
the
edges
again
and
growing.
B
You
know
going
to
the
east
and
along
the
river
to
the
north
too,
and
I
think
on
both
sides
of
the
river.
So
we-
and
we
also
see
that
shevlin
park
is
on
the
map
and
it
was
created
in
the
early
20s.
So
that
makes
sense.
The
u.s
geological
survey
usually
picks
out
everything.
The
other
thing
too,
that's
interesting
to
look
at
is
the
the
west
hills
of
bend.
B
And
it
also,
it
also
shows
in
the
very
bottom
corner
something
called
can't
read
it
or
bottom
of
the
a
logging
railroad.
You
may
not
be
able
to
read
that,
but
there's
railroads
going
more
than
one
railroad
going
south,
not
the
the
main
line
was
the
great
northern
and
there
were
these
lags
going
in
all
directions
to
to
to
the
south
of
bend.
B
B
So
here
we
are
another
view:
we're
looking
straight
down
wall
street
on
the
right
there
to
the
to
both
mills.
You
they're,
two,
the
two
of
them
are
kind
of
joined
together
in
the
in
the
picture,
but
they're
both
there
and
you
also
get
a
picture
of
how
the
downtown
was
growing
and
also
very
good
details
on
river
west,
so
the
it
with
the
width.
I
believe
that
the
north
bridge,
that's
visible,
is
that's.
Gonna,
go
back
to
the
new.
B
The
newport
avenue
bridge
is
is
easy
to
pick
out.
The
also
in
this
is
the
I
believe
the
the
famous
pilot
viewed
in
is
is
also
in
this
photograph
somewhere
near
where
newburgh
crosses
after
newport
crosses
the
river,
but
it
shows
how
important
the
that
new,
the
dallas
california
highway
is
it.
It
sticks
out,
you
know
like
a
big
snake
at
the
top
and
it
went
straight
down
wall
street
and-
and
I
think
then
it
cut
across
on
franklin
to
to
hook
up
with
the
highway
south
of
town.
B
But
the
interesting
thing
about
this.
This
view
is
we're
seeing
growth
on
both
sides
and
the
downtown
is
getting
the
own
towns
getting
larger
more
with
at
least
with
two-story
buildings.
B
Okay,
so
this
is
pretty
close
to
the
same
same
period
in
the
downtown,
but
now
we're
starting
to
see
the
neighborhoods
to
the
south
creeping
out
beyond
the
mill.
The
the
brook
scanlan
mill
here
on
the
on
the
south
end
of
the
of
this
map
and
and
we're
seeing
little
pockets
of
of
new
neighborhoods
growing
southward,
particularly
and
and
north
on
this
map.
So
the
the
the
neighborhoods
seem
to
have
grown.
B
You
know
in
a
pretty
orderly
pattern
coming
out
from
the
downtown.
The
only
thing
that's
not
orderly
or
that
interrupts.
The
pattern
is
the
two
big
lumber
mills
because
they're
occupying
a
lot
of
space,
but
I
think
it
is
significant
that
by
1928
there
were
there
were
then
neighborhoods
to
the
south
and
I'm
picking
up.
I
think
it's
in
southern
crossing
sudden
crossing.
I
think
that
is
picking
up
some
some
growth
right
at
that
period
of
time.
B
B
Other
things
to
look
at
too,
as
the
as
the
city
grows
is
the:
where
do
where
do?
City-Wide
facilities,
locate
and
then
high
school
was
built
in
1925
in
the
downtown,
and
it
stayed
as
the
high
school
until
1956
when
it
jumped
the
tracks
and
went
east,
and
so
that's
important
indicator
of
growth
or
change.
And
I
think
the
the
same
story
could
be
told
about
the
st
charles
hospital.
B
I'm
not
sure
when
I
think
st
charles
waited
to
the
70s
to
begin
developing
its
campus,
where
it
is
today,
but
it
was
originally
right
right.
This
heart
of
downtown,
along
with
the
high
school,
but
the
the
high
school
was
also
important
for
a
source
of
civic
pride,
because
the
the
architect
who
designed
the
high
school
also
designed
the
kenwood
school
and
a
number
of
other
important
buildings
in
the
in
central
band.
B
So
now
we
jump
to
the
the
30s
here
and-
and
things
are
still
are
breaking
out
further,
except
they
haven't
jumped
over
pilot
view
yet
to
the
east
side,
but
I
we're
we're
seeing
a
gradual
increase
of
neighborhoods
at
the
foot
of
aubry
butte
and
also
to
the
north
along
the
river.
So
it's
but
most
there's
a
lot
of
undeveloped
land
around,
and
these
this
particular
map
series
shows
the
owners
of
the
land.
The
metzger
maps
are
useful
from
from
that
point
of
view,
so
they
show
large.
B
B
Century
yeah,
next
one,
here's
just
the
south
side
picture
and
more
even
more
pronounced
growth
to
the
south
kind
of
following.
I
think
I
think
the
dark
line
is
the
california
dalles
highway,
not
the
railroad.
I
think
the
railroad
was
on
a
separate
is
not
maybe
not
as
prominent.
Now.
The
highway
is,
my
naive
conclusion
would
be.
B
The
highway
was
was
attracting
growth
south
and
the,
but
the
logging
railroads
are
still
there
producing
for
those
two
big
mills
and
the
most
the
forest
lands
they
used,
which
is
south
of
bend
all
the
way
to
klamath
county.
B
So
yeah
last
night
in
this
group
here
is
wall
street
in
the
30s
it
looks
pretty
prosperous.
It
doesn't
look
like
there's
depression
here,
bend
by
having
these
two
stable,
huge
employers
avoided
some
of
the
worst
of
the
1930s
depression
and
the
because
it
kept
stable
employment,
but
also
you
the
same
thing
is
shown
in
that
population
chart.
I
think
we
had,
for
we
had
relatively
little
population
growth
if
any
in
the
1930s.
But
all
these
businesses
look
like
they're
well
patronized.
B
So,
let's,
let's
pause
there
and
take
questions
or
comments
on
what
we
just
looked.
B
Okay,
next
so
we're
taking
a
a
big
leap
here,
but
it's
still
showing
that
what
have
been
established
in
the
30s.
This
is
the
city's
official
map,
and
it
shows
that
what
had
what
had
already
happened
was
continuing
to
happen
with
new
subdivision
plants
being
added
everywhere,
except
to
the
everywhere,
except
to
the
southwest,
but
they
were
at
being
added
west
and
north,
and
also
there
was
the
city
had
even
identified
an
industrial
area
along
the
railroad
tracks.
B
On
the
on
the
right
hand,
corner
there
going
south
out
of
the
city
to
the
it
would
the
new
industrial
area
still
an
industrial
area
today
would
be
from
east
of
brook
scanlan
or
east
of
third
street
south
into
the
south
from
there
on
the
east
side
of
third
street
going
going
south
along
the
railroad.
So
pilot
butte,
though,
is
still
there
haven't
jumped
to
over
the
top
of
pilot
view
in
terms
of
neighborhoods
at
this
point,
but
it
it
shows
that
it
might
happen.
B
I
I
suspect
that
the
pilot
mute
was
made
a
state
park
to
perhaps
preserve
some
of
that
green
space,
as
as
people
could
see,
the
city
was
moving
to
the
east
and
it
also
helped
that
the
the
publisher
of
the
ben
bulletin,
robert
sawyer,
was
on
the
state
highway
commission
in
the
30s,
which
happened
to
run
the
state
park
system
at
the
time.
B
And
getting
towards
the
wrap
up
here
and
I
apologize-
I
haven't
documented
the
21st
century
much
where
actually
yeah,
because
our
our
central
west
side,
history
really
looked
at
things
up
until
the
1990s.
B
But
here
we
go
with
a
60s
view
of
down
at
the
bottom
of
the
of
the
slide
is.
B
A
the
box
factory
and
a
building
called
the
crane
shed,
which
was
demolished
in
the
middle
of
the
night
a
few
years
ago,
great
a
great
loss
of
those
rick
scanlan
buildings,
but
the
it
also
shows
you
that
their
their
the
colorado
rapids
area
was
still
unusual.
A
lot
of
it
was
unused
industrial
areas,
so
it
was
very
ripe
a
few
years
later
for
the
old
mill
district,
the
but
the
other
other
thing
that's
that's
interesting
is
aubry.
B
Butte
is
starting
to
see
some
development
on
major
roads
leading
up
the
butte,
and
so
that's
it's
not
new,
but
it
is
evidence
showing
that
growth
is
definitely
heading
that
way
on
the
west
side
too.
So
the
the
downtown
area
is
is
well
depicted
in
this
in
this
shot
here
and
the
and
and
drake
park,
which
is
the
large
collection
of
trees
up
in
the
middle
of
the
picture.
Yeah
those
are
parts
of
drake
park
and
the
and
the
drake
park
neighborhood.
B
And
here's
here's
the
the
last
piece
of
evidence,
I've
got
which
shows
all
of
the
things
that
I've
mentioned
before
actually,
but
a
little
bit
more.
This
is
the
night.
The
1975,
and
the
next
thing
I
should
get
for
to
complete
this
show
is
the
latest
usgs
map
of
the
same
area,
because
they
they
keep
the
their.
B
They
keep
the
most
consistent
themes
and
they'll
tell
you
the
most
about
what's
happening
in
an
area,
but
by
this
time
their
development,
and
I
think,
on
the
upper
right
hand,
corner
is
the
beginnings
of
the
st
charles
hospital
with
some
some
larger
buildings
up
in
there.
Upper
right,
yeah,
and
so
the
the
city
has
jumped
pilot
viewed
by
this
time,
and
that's
not
surprising,
since
the
the
70s
were
somewhat
of
an
uptick
in
growth,
but
not
as
much
as
what
would
come
along
in
the
90s.
B
However,
the
other
things
it
shows
is
that
the
city
is
is
filling
in
and
it
does
show
a
a
popular
new
road
on
the
on
the
south
on
the
left,
corner
or
southwest
corner
of
the
map.
B
Century
drive
heading
out
south
to
bachelor
view,
and
so
it's
each
one
of
these
maps
shows
kind
of
a
series
of
developments
and
different
things
that
get
introduced.
But
overall
it
shows
actually
a
pretty
orderly
pattern.
B
I
don't
know
what
happens
so
if
you
turn
the
page
and
then
look
at
a
map
from
from
2000
or
or
from
you
know,
but
I
need
to
get
that
into
the
series
here
to
really
show
that,
because
the
usgs
maps
are
are
the
best
guide
and
I
think
that
the
growth
may
not
have
been
as
orderly
as
as
time
went
on
after
1975.
B
So,
just
to
to
wrap
up
here,
one
of
the
things
as
you're
looking
ahead
and
thinking
of
you
know
how
you
might
might
might
or
might
not
make
any
changes
on
neighborhood
boundaries.
One
of
the
things
I
think
to
look
at
is
the
complete
community's.
B
It's
it's,
I
think,
a
new
idea,
but
it's
an
old
idea
too,
because
I
think
that
those
original
core
sections
of
bend
were
evolved
as
complete
communities,
and
now
we
want
to
do
it
a
little
more
deliberately,
and
that
was
when
was
done
in
the
1920s
and
and-
and
it's
also
a
challenge
to
today
is
more
of
a
challenge
to
make
ben
walkable,
because
it's
so
large
and
to
make
neighborhoods
walkable
too,
because
they're
because
they're
not
maybe
as
tightly
connected
as
they
were
in
that
original
fabric.
B
So
anyway,
I
think
that
concludes
my
my
review,
oh
and
also
in
the
comp
plan,
the
the
there's,
an
identification
of
six
different
neighborhood
types,
which
I
think
is
is
useful
sort
of
as
a
background
for
where
ben
might
go
in
the
future.
I
know
that
in
the
future
the
comp
plan
seems
to
favor
complete
communities,
not
scattered,
more,
not
scattered,
suburban
development,
so
which
I
I
believe
was
the
case
for
bend
in
the
in
the
mid
or
the
late
part
of
the
20th
century.
B
So
any
any
comments
or
questions
to
add.
I
think
I'm
about
concluded.
D
Thank
you
so
much
richard.
I
think
I
was
just
thinking
about
the
the
time
frame
between
75
and
in
the
2000s
and
the
first
neighborhood
association
was
formed
in
2001
and
that
was
southwest
bend.
D
So
at
this
point,
southwest
bend
really
isn't
existing
as
far
as
a
part
of
being
being
a
part
of
the
city
of
bend,
and
so
I
know
you
know
david
could
probably
speak
to
the
the
90s
and
that,
I
believe,
is
when
old
farm
was
annexed
in
so
there's
still
some
of
that
that
history
piece
that
would
be
really
interesting
to
learn.
So
maybe
we
can
touch
base
again.
B
Yeah,
if
I
can
get
the
let's
get
some
more
maps
that
will
show
that
I'm
sure
he
could
show
that
and
add
the
the
20th
century
21st
century
on
us
at
the
tail
of
the
of
the
dog
here.
So.
D
That
would
be
great.
Does
anybody
else
have
questions
for
richard
awesome?
Well,
thank
you
so
much
richard
before
we
wrap
up
here
today.
I
just
want
to
provide
a
little
update
on
where
council
is
at
with
the
goal
setting.
So
I'm
going
to
pull
up
my
tracker
here,
it's
a
little
easier
to
show
if
you're
a
visual.
D
D
Share:
okay,
so
at
this
point,
council
is
currently
in
the
process
of
setting
their
two-year
goals.
As
you
know,
we
did
the
community
survey
in
november
and
december.
We
did
the
listening
sessions
in
january
and
then
the
council
had
their
first
goal-setting
workshop.
D
If
you
will,
on
january,
20th
and
21st,
and
during
those
workshops,
they
were
able
to
identify
some
of
the
high
priority
focuses
for
the
next
two
years
for
council
goals,
this
time
that
would
be
affordable,
housing,
effective
and
efficient
city
operations,
public
safety
and
so
they're
identifying
those
same
categories
for
the
next
biennium
right
now,
what
we
know
is
there's
affordable,
housing
transportation
is
still
in
the
mix,
and
then
I
I
sent
out
community
survey
results.
D
So
if
you
want
to
see
how
the
community
ranked
it,
I
would
feel
I
feel
like
the
counselors
are
aligning
pretty
closely
with
with
the
community's
input
so,
and
that
is
good
news.
What
we
don't
know
yet
is
where
boundaries
will
fit
into
those
focused,
and
we
believe
that
we
will
be
able
to
move
forward
with
this
review
of
neighborhood
boundaries.
D
But
we
won't
have
a
good
idea
of
where
they
lie
within
council
goals
until
about
the
end
of
march.
So,
and
the
end
of
march
is
when
they
produce
the
work
plan.
That
is
probably
similar
to
what
a
lot
of
you
guys
have
seen
where
it
identifies
the
council
goal
areas
and
the
strategies
to
accomplishing
those
goals
under
each,
and
so
that's
where
we
should
be
able
to
see
a
review
of
neighborhood
boundaries
so
with
that
we're
kind
of
playing
it
by
ear.
D
Right
now,
and
so
I
would
say
that
a
march
meeting
is
probably
tbd
depending
on
if
we
have
more
information
than
we
have
right
now.
D
I
do
know
that
we
are
looking
to
put
together
a
boundaries
workshop
later
this
spring,
and
so
something
that
this
group
needs
to
decide
is
if
we
want
to
move
forward
with
a
an
outside
party
and
consultant
to
facilitate
that
workshop,
and
that
would
be
something
where
we
bring
in
all
of
the
neighborhood
association
chairs
to
discuss,
as
well
as
the
nla
reps,
and
really
try
to
get
a
focus
on.
What
are
we
trying
to
do
here?
Are
we
just
updating
the
city
codes
so
that
neighborhoods
can
adjust
their
boundaries
as
they
wish
to?
D
Is
it
something
bigger
than
that,
where
we're
looking
at
award
systems
and
how
we
can
represent
our
members
more
effectively,
so
right
now
we're
still
kind
of
in
that
information
gathering
process.
D
So
do
any
of
you
guys
have
questions
about
kind
of
where
we're
going
from
here
or
what
to
do
in
the
meantime,.
D
Yeah,
that's
that's
what
I'm
seeing
right
now.
I
think
that
we
can
always
do
some
anticipating
of
our
project
being
accepted
by
council
and
where
are
we
going
to
go
and
so
karen,
maybe
you
and
I
can
get
together
and
and
talk
about.
Maybe
what
a
work
plan
could
looked
like
depending
on
on.
If
council
accepts
that
or
not.
A
Okay,
well,
I
think
the
presentation
gave
us
a
good
foundation
just
about
how
neighborhoods
started
and
then
we'll
see
where
we're
gonna
go
with
that.
D
Yeah,
I
know
one
thing
that
we
talk
about
at
the
city.
Is
you
know
it's
it's
useful
to
look
back
and
see
where
we
came
from,
but
really
this
is
about
where
we're
headed
and
how
we
can
best
serve
the
residents
of
bend
knowing
what
that
culture
was
like
back
when
ben
first
began
in
the
early
18th
or
late
1800s
hans.
E
Yeah,
just
the
thought
that,
subject
to
what
council,
what
we
hear
from
council
as
far
as
a
march
meeting,
it
did
occur
to
me
that,
along
with
this
presentation,
which
stimulates
some
thought,
we
could
potentially
use
march
as
a
bit
of
an
outline
in
terms
of
just
high
altitude.
E
Our
our
actual
work
plan
will
be
largely
a
factor
of
what
council
says,
but
we
could
address
things
like
definition
of
a
neighborhood
or
considerations
for
neighborhoods,
some
of
the
stuff
that
richards
presented,
and
our
survey
shows
maybe
just
a
very
high
level
outline
of
how
we
might
go
about
this.
And
then
obviously
it
wouldn't
be
wasted
work,
but
it
would
be
modified
once
we
hear
from
council
will
either
be
a
little
more
broadly
focused
or
more
narrowly
focused.
Maybe
maybe
our
timeline
changes
instead
of
a
vision
that
reaches
out
and
says.
E
D
Yeah,
I
think
that's
a
great
idea,
and
I
think
what
one
thing
that
we
do
know
for
certain
right
now
is
that
everyone
agrees.
The
code
is
inadequate
to
do
what
we
need
to
do
as
bend
grows,
and
so
I
think
that
that
will
be
a
good
starting
point
for
this
group
is
working
with
our
legal
department
to
update
that
code
and
defining
some
of
those
key
keywords
and
pieces
that
go
into
what
a
neighborhood
is
is
a
big
part
of
that
go
ahead.
Hans.
E
Yeah,
just
one
more
consideration
whether
it's
for
the
march
meeting
or
going
forward.
One
of
the
things
I
think
a
lesson
learned
from
our
land
use
education
group
is
that
it
would
have
been
useful
to
include
some
other
stakeholders
if
you
will
other
points
of
view
getting
more
perspectives
as
we
move
forward
on
this,
and
certainly
so
that
we
don't
get
too
far
down
the
road.
Assuming
council
is
very
supportive
that
we
don't
get
too
far
down
the
road
and
then
have
someone
say
well
wait.
E
You
didn't
didn't
give
consideration
to
this
group
of
people
or
to
this
physical
situation
or
to
this
plan
for
the
future.
You
know
it's
always
good
many
hands
make
for
light
lifting.
So
if
we
have
some
stakeholder
groups
that
want
to
help
us
with
that,
you
know.
D
That's
fabulous,
thank
you
so
much
for
bringing
that
up,
and
I
think
to
to
that
note
when
we're
talking
about
community
the
inputs
and
and
coming
up
with
this
plan
and
on
tuesday
of
next
week,
we're
going
to
ask
the
nla
just
for
permission
to
use
some
of
the
nla
funds
for
a
workshop
for
boundaries,
and
so
I
didn't
want
to
surprise
you
with
that.
D
D
A
Well,
it
sounds
like
unless
other
people
have
questions
or
comments
that
that
concludes
this
meeting.
Does
anyone
have
anything
they
want
to
add
at
this
time.
A
You
and
then
we'll
send
out
the
link.
I
guess
michaela
will
send
out
the
link,
so
we
can
share
it
with
our
own
boards
and
neighborhoods,
because
it
is
that
was
really
interesting
for
the
historical
perspective.
So.
D
A
I
I
think
so
I
think
it
would
be
of
interest
to
the
public
as
well.
So
if
you
just
send
the
link
in
the
weekly
news,
that
would
be
great
sure,
okay
happy
to
do
that.
A
Okay,
so
I
guess,
with
that
five
minutes
early,
we'll
adjourn
this
meeting
and
then
stay
tuned
for
next
steps
and
thanks
everyone
for
coming.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Bye.
