Some

with
fireworks
agreement
that
particularly
the
two
nas
that
had
started
a
working

should
continue
to
do
that
and
we
encourage
the

d,
but
we
decided
not
to
create
a
new

Fireworks
working
group.
H
A
Michaela,
let
me
ask
you
procedurally
or
kayla:
it
is
easy
enough
to
craft
a
summary
statement
and
I
can
present
a
summary
statement
for
and
make
a
motion
to
approve
that
or
we
can
have
one
submitted
to
be
discussed
at
a
future
meeting.
But
I
do
think
for
the
record.
We
should
have
a
record
because
I
think
everybody
reached
consensus
on
those
those
bullet
points
I
just
described
so
how
best
to
do
that.
H
I
would
suggest
this
is
kayla
again,
I'm
doing
some
kind
of
motion
or
making
it
clear
like.
Are
we
all
in
the
agreement?
Are
we
all
do
we
all
prove
that
we
want
to
move
forward
with
this
or
move
this
to
another
meeting?
You
know
like
a
thumbs
up
just
because
that's
probably
why
I
did
not
get
that
in
the
minutes,
because
I
didn't
see
head
nods.
I
didn't
see
you
know
any,
so
I
just
need
some
indication
from
the
group
that
you
guys
are
all
agreeing
with
it.
If
that
makes
sense,.
A
B
A
A
G
H
J
E
A
B
A
I
see
that
there
are
no
public
comments
and
with
that
and
just
a
short
intro
recall
that
councilor
mosley
opened
up
the
opportunity
for
us
to
have
some
dialogue
with
visit
bend,
especially
as
it
relates
to
the
impact
that
visit
bend
has
on
its
very
successful
impact
on
bringing
tourism
to
bend
and
obviously
with
it
issues,
sometimes
challenging
too
much
success.
Perhaps,
but
a
lot
of
this
is
as
we
listened
to
this
presentation,
let's
keep
in
mind
that
we
are
really
focused
here
ultimately
on
livability
issues.
A
K
K
I
think
one
of
my
goals
four
years
ago
when
I
took
this
job,
was
to
be
a
be
a
better
member
of
the
community
and
make
sure
I
was
listening
to
the
community
and
make
sure
that
the
work
that
happens
within
visit
bend
what
the
community
would
like
to
see-
and
I
think
we've
made
great
strides
in
that
space
but,
as
we
all
know,
there's
always
room
for
improvement.
So
my
goal
today
is
to
walk
you
through
a
quick
presentation
that
it
may
be
a
little
elementary.
K
K
This
event
is
doing
that
that
he
may
disagree
with,
but
sometimes
there's
state
law
and
other
elements
that
just
don't
fit
with
what
he
thinks
should
happen.
And
I
and
I
completely
respect
that,
and
I
think
that
it's
great
again
to
have
this
dialogue
and
try
to
get
to
the
bottom
of
what
can
and
can't
be
done
and
where
that,
where
those
edges
are
so
I'm
going
to
share
my
screen.
And
hopefully
this
works.
K
K
A
K
K
G
J
G
G
C
E
A
L
Our
experience
like
on
the
land
use
was
that
the
nla
was
actually
took
a
great
deal
of
time
to
consider
its
various.
You
know
the
various
participants
and
the
in
land
use
and
all
that
and
that
sort
of
thing
and
then
you're,
considered
of
all
these
different
viewpoints,
and
I
thought
the
I
thought
that
having
visit
been
come
and
present
would
be
an
opportunity
for
that
that
dialogue,
so
it
wasn't
for
kevin.
L
He
accurately
states
that
you
know
my
various
positions
on
tourism,
but,
as
far
as
you
know,
councils
asked
to
the
nla:
it's
not
it's
not
loaded
with
any
of
my
particular
agenda.
It
really
is
just
about
gaining
some
mutual
understanding
about
their
business
plans,
how
it
impacts
our
community
on
livability,
but
there's
not
there's
no
preset,
there's
no
preset
desire
on
the
part
of
council.
To
that.
L
A
Bill
and
to
that
point
I
from
my
perspective,
I
I
think
what
the
nla
can
can
be
as
a
resource
and
a
sounding
board
to
visit
bend
as
well
as
other
people,
whether
it's
beat
up
or
affordable
housing.
What
have
you
I
think
we
represent
a
resource
from
a
communication
point
of
view.
We
can
be
a
sounding
board.
Ideas
can
be
sent
to
us,
we
can
send
them
to
our
boards
and
they
can
come
back
and
we
can
say,
hey,
there's
a
lot
of
support
for
that
approach
or
hey.
A
K
Yeah
awesome
yeah,
and
I
agree
I
I
just
overhearing
that
conversation
and
fully
in
support
of
that,
and
I
think
that's
where
you're
gonna
hear
from
me
today
is
again
hopefully
a
little
education,
but
again
doors
always
open
and
happy
to
work
through
this.
So
again,
what
I
want
to
do
is
just
sort
of
talk
quickly
about
sort
of
who
visibent
is
some
of
the
state
laws
and
some
of
the
parameters.
K
We
adhere
to
how
transient
room
tax
collections
work
within
the
community
and
again
just
very
high
level,
and
hopefully
then
we
get
to
a
point
at
the
end,
where
I
assume
there's
some
questions
that
we
can
can
sort
of
work
through.
So,
as
I
mentioned,
and-
and
I
assume
you
can
all
see
my
screen,
if
you
can
or
something
happens,
just
raise
your
hand,
but
everything
should
be
good.
I
took
this
role.
K
I've
been
at
visit
then
for
over
10
years
now,
and
I
took
this
role
as
executive
director
president
ceo
four
years
ago
now,
and
one
of
the
things
I
recognized
early
on
was
that
I
felt
our
mission
values.
Guiding
principles
were
not
directly
in
line
with
what
we
needed
to
be
for
this
community
and
that
our
old
version
of
this
had
sort
of
was
too
myopic.
K
K
They
range
from
the
john
mcclouds
of
the
world,
the
gm
amount
bachelor
to
matt
williams,
owns
the
pine
ridge
inn
or
doesn't
actually
own
the
pine
ridge
anymore,
but
is
is
still
in
charge
from
a
management
perspective
and
a
whole
slew
of
others.
Alan
dietrich
with
ben
distillery
and
I've
been
really
happy
to
work
with
them
and
I
think
they're
they're
right
in
line
with
me
and
the
staff
when
it
comes
to
this
mission
guiding
principles,
our
visions
and
our
values.
K
This
is
something
where
we
constantly
review,
make
sure
it's
up
to
date
and
who
we
are,
but
it's
just
it's
something
that
I
think
I
always
start
with,
that
we
are
different
than
we
were
five
years
ago
and
I'm
proud
of
that
fact
in
terms
of
transient
room
tax
law.
I
put
this
slide
together,
just
at
a
very
high
level,
so
the
local
law,
as
you'll
see
was,
was,
is
9
back
in
2003.
K
there
was
a
1.4
increase
voter
approved
in
2013,
and
so
the
total
makeup
of
of
room
tax
that
somebody
pays
when
they
stay
in
the
city
of
bend
is
10.4
percent.
There's
some
nuances
in
this.
Where
the
additional
1.4
that
was
approved
back
in
2013
by
state
law,
the
city
is
obligated
to
put
70
percent
of
that
1.4
increase
into
their
tourism
fund,
whereas
within
that
first
nine
percent,
it's
30
goes
to
the
tourism
fund
and
70
goes
to
the
general
services.
K
So
that's
why
I
broke
this
down
just
so,
you
could
see
back
in
2003
the
committee
or
the
the
the
city
committed
to
nine
percent
transient
room
tax.
Thirty
percent
of
that
went
into
the
tourism
fund
and
the
other.
Seventy
percent
went
into
the
city's
general
services
fund
in
2013
when
the
1.4
increase
happened,
the
inverse
took
place
where
70
went
to
the
promotion
of
tourism
and
30
went
back
into
the
city's
general
services.
I'm
all
talking
a
little
bit
about
how
that
1.4
was
was
approved
in
another
timeline.
K
One
additional
thing
I
want
to
note
the
two
asterisks
at
the
bottom
is:
there
is
also
an
additional
1.5
statewide
tax
that
goes
back
to
the
state.
A
lot
of
that
funding
goes
to
a
group
called
travel
oregon.
So
when
you
mash
that
all
together,
somebody
staying
in
the
city
of
bend
actually
pays
12.9
percent
on
their
tax
rate
with
10.4
going
back
to
the
city
of
bend
and
then
the
other
part,
that's
pretty
unique
is
that
within
our
city
code,
we
are
actually
more
restricted
than
what
the
state
law
mandate.
K
So
many
cities
and
communities
in
the
state
law
talks
about
the
ability
to
use
the
tourism
fund
to
invest
in
facilities
for
whatever
reason
back
in
2003.
That
was
not
adopted
into
our
city
code
and
so
facilities
are
not
an
appropriate
use
of
the
tourism
fund
dollars
that
doesn't
hold
true
for
the
general
services
side
of
what
goes
back
into
this.
The
city's
general
services
fund,
but
in
terms
of
the
tourism
fund
facilities,
is
currently
a
term
that
is
not
included
in
that
city
code.
K
This
is
just
a
super
again
quick,
high
level
timeline
of
what
happened.
1983,
we
implement
our
first
six
percent
tax
2001.
We
agreed
to
to
increase
that
to
nine
percent.
There
was
a
city
ordinance
passed
at
the
time
to
allocate
that
increase
to
the
tourism
fund
in
2002.
State
law
came
into
place
in
2003.
That's
ors.
K
350.320,
I
believe,
if
you
want
to
look
that
up
and
again
happy
to
have
these
conversations
in
more
detail
later
2007
visibend
was
asked
to
really
ramp
up
efforts.
You
know,
I
think
councilor
mosey
was
actually
part
of
these
conversations
at
bdap
way
back
in
that
day
with
my
predecessor,
doug
laplaca
2010,
we
really
started
sort
of
dragging
the
economy
back
up
and
out
2013
voter
approved
measure
to
increase
from
9
to
10.4.
K
One
of
the
things
I
want
to
point
out
here
is
this
was
a
point
in
time
where
we
we
visit.
On
visit
ben's
side,
we
agreed
to
put
7.5
of
that
funding
into
the
ben
cultural
tourism
fund,
which
was
a
cultural
arts
program
that
we
established.
At
the
same
time,
the
city
agreed
to
take
four
percent
of
that
funding
and
put
it
into
police
and
fire.
So
one
of
the
ways
that
voter
approved
measure
got
passed
was
funding
of
arts
and
culture
on
the
community
side
and
then
on
the
city
side.
K
K
2015
visibence
shift
strategy
investing
90
of
marketing
into
non-summer
months.
This
gives
it
some
of
your
livability
questions
where
we
made
a
decision
at
the
time
to
understand
that
summer
was
really
sort
of
gang
busters,
and
there
were
some
pain
points
within
the
community.
What
could
we
do
as
an
organization
to
realign
our
efforts
with
a
period
of
time
when
we
wanted
to
drive
that
business,
where
restaurants
were
still
asking
us
to
put
more
butts
in
seats
so
that
took
place
around
2015?
K
Also
in
2015,
the
city
council
passed
new
vacation
rental
density
law.
So
this
is
when
the
law
was
passed
to
only
allow
one
vacation
rental
per
250
square
feet.
I
would
argue
that
that
has
actually
had
the
the
right
results.
So
there
there
was
an
article.
Many
of
you
may
have
read
that
came
out
it's
probably
close
to
a
year
ago
now,
where
it
actually
talked
about
bend,
ranking.
Fourth
on
a
list
of
the
number
of
vacation
rentals
in
a
community
or
in
a
destination
per
capita.
K
So
they
said
of
50
000
people,
how
many
vacation
rentals
do
you
have?
The
problem
that
happened
here
on
that
chart
was
that
they
lumped
in
sun
river
and
the
bend
msa
metropolitan
statistical
area
was
much
broader
than
the
city
limits
of
that
and
that
greatly
inflated.
That
number.
So
I
think
they
reported
that
we
had
something
like
1600
vacation,
rentals
per
50
000
people
when
in
reality
we
have
closer
to
like
590
per
50
000
people.
K
According
to
that
data
within
air
dna
and
their
market
minder,
there's
there's
a
roughly
105
000
people
we
have
1200
vacation
rentals,
currently
active
and
therefore
that
number,
when
you
back
that
out,
is,
is
closer
to
500,
which
puts
us
closer
to
26
on
that
list.
Now
I'm
not
saying
that
means-
and
I
have
no
opinion
in
this-
that
that
means
we.
We
don't
still
have
too
many
vacation
rentals.
That's
not
I'm
not
implying
that
that
fourth
versus
versus
26
matters.
K
I
am
saying
that
it
is
interesting
that
when
I
would
tell
a
journalist
the
reality
is
they
don't
want
to
write
a
story
about
band
ranking
26
on
the
list.
They
want
to
write
a
story
about
it,
ranking.
Fourth,
so
there's
some
data
here
that
as
we
get
into
the
weeds
about
livability
issue,
I
think
we
could
help
have
those
conversations
and
start
thinking
about
what's
working.
The
point
again
is
that
I
think
that
vacation
rental
density
law
that
passed
actually
had
the
intended
consequences,
which
was
to
slow
the
number
of
vacation
rentals.
K
I
think
one
of
the
unintended
consequences
of
that
law
was
people
were
still
purchasing
homes
and
turning
them
into
vacation
rentals.
Those
vacation
rentals
were
popping
up
in
neighborhoods
that
traditionally
had
not
seen
vacation
rentals,
and
I
think
that
was
just
a
supply
and
demand
issue
and
the
industry
responding
to
that.
So
it's
had
unintended
consequences
as
well,
but
the
intention
of
slowing
the
number
of
vacation
rentals
has
played
out
in
some
ways.
K
K
Don't
know
when
that's
going
to
be
hashed
out
again,
visibence
sort
of
doesn't
have
a
dog
in
that
fight
as
much
as
we
just
as
part
of
the
industry
and
support
of
the
stakeholders.
Keep
eye
on
things
like
this
2018
visit
benz
adopts
that
new
mission
and
vision
that
I
started
this
with
this
is
a
quick
graph
to
show
you
sort
of
how
transient
room
tax
works.
You
stay
in
a
hotel,
10.4
rate,
currently
roughly
70
percent
of
that
goes
to
the
general
fund.
K
9.06
per
room
night
30.88
has
to
go
back
to
the
tourism
fund.
Currently
visit
bend
is
a
contracted
partner
to
receive
that.
That
may
not
always
be
the
case.
There
will
be
an
rfp
put
out
in
the
next
year
or
two
for
somebody
to
do
these
services
and
and
other
people
hopefully
put
put
their
name
in
the
hat
as
well,
currently
we're
the
ones
that
are
contracted
with
the
city
to
reinvest
these
dollars
on
their
behalf.
K
I
show
this
bottom
graph
just
because
I
always
find
it
interesting
that
an
individual
hotel
room
generates
what
it
does
to
the
city's
general
fund.
Meanwhile,
the
city's
or
a
primary
residence
in
the
community
generates
about
630
again,
I
know,
there's
way
more
to
property
taxes
than
that
you've
got
parks
and
rec,
and
you
have
all
the
other
things
that
come
out
of
that
property
tax
bill.
But
it
is
an
interesting
sort
of
metric
to
look
at
when
for
visit
bend.
K
It's
not
about
visibent
growing
its
budget,
it's
not
about
whether
we
have
more
money
to
do
our
work.
I
really
feel
like
we
exist
to
drive
dollars
into
the
city's
general
fund
for
them
to
help
with
infrastructure
or
police
and
fire
services
or
other
things,
and
I
think
historically,
it's
been
viewed
that
we're
here
to
raise
our
budget
that
we're
here
to
raise
more
money
for
visit
ben
to
reinvest.
K
K
There
is
still
a
significant
amount
of
that
that
I
believe
they
use
for
police
and
fire
needs
and
and
public
safety
needs
and
a
portion
towards
things
like
infrastructure,
I'm
not
privy
to
exactly
how
that's
all
distributed,
but
I'm
pretty
sure
public
public
safety
eats
up
quite
a
bit
of
that,
and
then
you
can
see
29
to
tourism
promotion
and
the
2
to
cultural
tourism.
That
2
makes
up
7.5
percent
of
the
tourism
fund
dollars
that
flow
through
visit
ban.
So
it's
been
good.
K
It's
I
think
it's
large
it's,
I
might
be
misspoken,
but
it's
one
of
the
largest,
if
not
the
largest
cultural
arts,
grant
programs
in
the
state,
and
we
have
that
for
our
community
here
locally
that
we
operate
on
the
right.
You
can
see
how
the
last
couple
years
have
played
out
the
big
one.
I'd
point
out
again:
we
could
just
stay
looking
at
the
general
fund,
fy19
gangbusters
things
were
going
great
fy20
things
were
going
great
and
then
all
sudden
covet
hit,
and
so
what
you're?
K
K
We've
continued
to
promote
that
travel
advisory.
We
have
done
no
marketing
throughout
this,
but
I
think
the
reality
is
is
a
place
like
bend
serves
as
a
getaway
and
without
the
support
of
local
business.
It's
sort
of
hard
to
enforce
anything
different.
So
I
would
expect
that
projection
to
actually
be
higher
than
what
you're
looking
at
there
and
probably
closer
to
what
we
saw
in
fy
20.
again,
the
caveat
is
going
into
winter
and
and
still
having
three
quarters
of
the
year
left.
K
K
I
also
put
an
asterisk
down
at
the
at
the
bottom,
so
you
could
just
see
how
those
taxes
have
changed
for
us
here
locally
from
2003
when
it
was
2.13
million
in
total
transit
room
tax
collections
to
2019
the
last
year
prior
to
kova,
where
we
had
10.1
million
collections
was
a
370
percent,
76
percent
increase,
and
I
think
this
goes
back
to
one
of
hans's
comments
that
we're
not
here.
Sort
of
debating
the
success
of
visibend
or
the
industry
locally
we're
talking
about.
K
Where
do
we
go
from
here
and
how
do
we
evolve
from
here?
But
by
and
large
the
success
has
been
real
and
I
think
I
I
we
did
a
ran
a
report
the
other
day
and
I
think
that
same
period
of
time,
it's
something
like
60
million
dollars
into
the
general
services
fund,
tackling
real
projects,
so
real
dollars
being
reinvested
behind
on
behalf
of
the
community.
K
This
is
just
quick
snapshot
of
the
industry.
One
thing
I
point
out
here,
which
has
been
really
fascinating
again:
sort
of
points
back
to
the
advisory
super
small
print.
So
I'll
read
it
for
you,
but
the
month
of
june,
the
last
one
of
the
fiscal
year
shows
that
the
county's
transient
room
tax
collections
was
actually
up
two
percent.
This
is
immediately
coming
out
of
covid
and
I'll
be
the
first
to
tell
you
it
was
concerning.
K
Quick
update
on
this
is
we
just
got
numbers
for
july,
transient
room
tax
and
we
were
the
city
of
bend
was
down
27
percent.
I
believe
you'll
see
that
the
county
was
up
again,
but
keep
in
mind
that
the
county
didn't
keep
any
restrictions
in
place
and
that
other
organizations
were
actively
marketing
and
actively
promoting
their
destination.
So
just
that's
that's
sort
of
how
transient
room
tax
is
playing
out
this
last.
One
here
is
simply
a
breakdown
by
property
type
and
again.
The
reason
I
wanted
to
bring
this
up
to
you.
K
Guys
is
just
so.
You
could
see
where
people
are
staying.
What
they're
doing
the
shocker
here,
which
again
isn't
so
much
a
shocker
to
me,
is
if
you
look
at
those
june
numbers,
there's
a
70
78
increase
in
airbnb
for
the
month
of
june.
Meanwhile,
every
other
category
is
down
again.
This
tells
me
the
consumer
is
choosing
that
type
of
of
rental
as
as
the
safe
choice,
if
you
will,
we
don't
promote
those
any
differently.
We
do
hotels.
K
We
ensure
that
every
vacation
run
on
our
website
is
has
the
proper
permits
with
the
city,
but
it
is
an
interesting
sort
of
fundamental
shift
in
the
industry
that,
from
a
crisis
or
pandemic
like
covid,
you
are
seeing
this
shift
to
the
vacation
rental
market.
I
do
want
to
point
out
that
you'll
notice,
the
second
line
there
is
vacation
rental.
The
bottom
line
is
airbnb.
K
The
reason
we
break
that
out
is
airbnb
remits
on
behalf
of
business
activity
done,
whereas
within
vacation
rentals,
those
remittances
are
the
responsibility
of
the
property
owner.
So
when
something
is
rented
through
vrbo
or
home
away
or
vicasa,
if
it
was
my
house,
I
would
be
responsible
to
remit
on
behalf
of
that
property
in
the
case
of
airbnb.
They
tackle
all
of
that
and
they
write
the
city
of
bend
a
large
check.
K
The
reason
you're
seeing
some
zeros
in
march
and
april
in
terms
of
airbnb,
is
they
collect
the
tax
and
remit
the
tax
at
the
time
of
booking.
They
had
a
whole
series
of
cancellations
during
march
and
april,
and
so
they
were
actually
negative
on
business
in
a
community
like
ben,
and
it
wasn't
until
june
that
we
started
to
see
that
business
activity
pick
back
up,
and
so
that's
why
you
saw
even
though
business
activity
happened
in
march
and
april,
their
books
were
showing
a
negative
number
until
they
were
made
whole.
K
They
they
didn't
start
remitting
those
taxes
back
so
again
that
was
a
super
quick
snapshot
of
just
sort
of
how
things
work.
I
added
this
just
so
you
guys
have
it
my
contact
information.
We
have
board
meetings.
The
third
tuesday,
of
these
five
months
at
8,
am
happy
to
have
you
they're
open
to
the
public.
All
this
information
is
shared.
K
I'm
happy
to
send
those
board
documents
to
anybody
at
the
nla
following
those
meetings,
if
it's
helpful
just
to
distribute,
I
am
happy
to
attend
future
nla
meetings
and
then
a
few
links,
just
the
about
us
page-
has
things
like
bylaws
our
contract
with
the
city,
all
the
data
and
research
that
we
put
out
there,
the
trt
information
and
then,
if
you
do,
want
to
just
take
a
look
at
our
board
of
directors.
That
is
also
just
an
about
us
forward:
slash
board
of
directors,
so
hopefully
that
wasn't
too
fast.
K
A
Kevin
I'll
offer
up
that.
I
thank
you.
I
I
think
that
is
great
table
setting
and
I'm
not
trying
to
suppress
any
questions
at
all,
but
I
do
think
at
least
for
me
it
was
very
enlightening.
I
I
think
I
particularly
focused
on
the
revenue
side
of
that.
I
quite
frankly,
I
think
I
I
guess
I
was
just
not
knowledgeable
about
the
significant
fiscal
impact
the
tourism
is
having
to
the
general
fund.
A
We
know
that
our
general
fund
is
woefully
short
of
our
needs,
and
so
obviously
it
just
throws
into
question
things
like
additional
taxes
of
room
tax
and
obviously,
there's
give
and
take,
but
pretty
interesting,
at
least
from
me
from
the
fiscal
point
of
view,
pretty
interesting
sets
of
levers
that
I
see
there
and
I'll
leave
it
to
anyone
else.
That
has
questions
for
you,
kevin.
K
Then
I
would
just
I
would
add
one
thought
to
that
and
that's
you
know
we.
I
think
it's
often
you
know
it's
this
assumption
that
we
see
all
the
transit
room
that
comes
right
back
into
visit
back
and
again,
that's
just
really
not
how
that
it
was
designed.
It
was
designed
to
drive
revenue
into
the
general
fund
and,
yes,
there's
a
portion
to
come
back
into
any
organization,
whether
it's
visibent
or
somebody
else
down
the
road.
K
You
know,
and
that
becomes
real
to
our
own
public
safety.
My
guess
is,
there
are
probably
some
hard
decisions
this
year
in
the
budgeting
process
about
not
doing
as
many
lane
miles
as
maybe
it
was
ideal
in
the
first
place,
and
so
I
think
I
I
appreciate
you
catching
that,
because
that's
something
that
again,
we
exist
here
to
in
a
lot
of
ways,
try
to
make
the
lives
of
local,
the
local
community
better,
and
it's
not
always
sort
of
spun.
That
way
so
appreciate
that.
A
I
K
Obviously
from
2010
to
to
even
today,
we've
seen
incredible
increases,
and
over
those
many
years
we
started
marketing
in
other
communities
like
seattle
and
then
eventually
we
are
some
in
the
bay
area
in
2015.
You
remember
on
that
slide.
We
really
shifted
all
of
our
efforts
to
shoulder
season
and
winter
efforts,
because
what
we
saw
was
hotel.
K
Occupancy
rates
would
drop
to
25
30
during
winter
months,
and
our
hotel
occupancy
rates
in
the
summer
were
extremely
high
and
the
average
daily
rate
people
were
paying
were
high,
so
hotels
were
sort
of
getting
fat
and
happy
during
the
summer
and
needed
help
in
the
winter,
and
we
were
hearing
the
same
from
the
the
restaurant
industry.
I
remember
back
to
2010
when
it
was
like
it
was
trying
to
figure
out
where
a
restaurant
was
going
to
close
and
then
re-pop
up
next
spring
was
a
game
of
chess
and
what
we
saw
was
incredible.
K
Sort
of
consistency
start
to
unfold
as
the
economy
recovered.
Last
year
as
an
example,
we
were
again
shoulder
season
winter
months
in
seattle,
san
francisco
and
the
portland
market.
We
work
closely
with
visit
central
oregon,
which
is
the
regional
destination
marketing
organization.
They
really
target
direct
flight
markets,
san
francisco,
la
phoenix
denver
chicago
seattle
and
when
there's
overlap
of
the
two
of
us
being
in
the
same
market,
we
decide.
K
You
know
who's
going
to
be
more
suburban
in
that
market
and
who's
going
to
be
more
urban
in
that
market,
and
then,
on
top
of
that
you
have
the
whole
layer
of
travel
oregon
and
there
I
think
it's
a
40
million
dollar
budget
and
they're
doing
international
marketing.
So
there's
a
tourism
ecosystem
that
sort
of
outlines
we
feel
strongly
and
just
sort
of
staying
within
that
eight
hour.
Tire
radius,
our
bread
and
butter
is
really
a
two
or
three
night
stay
by
an
adventure
couple
or
a
family.
K
K
We
have.
We
have
marketing
plans
that
are
not
being
implemented,
but
it
is
down
to
the
zip
code
of
what
communities
are
healthy,
what
have
low
case
rates
and
in
focusing
on
those
and
then
really
focusing
on
the
state
of
oregon,
specifically
before
going
anywhere
else
and
before
revenue
starts
to
gain
again.
D
B
K
Yeah
and
I've-
I
love
this
stuff
and
I
think
again,
four
years
ago,
when
I
took
this
job
there
was
there
was
some
tension.
The
tourism
community
tension
was
real
and
I
I
made
the
commitment
to
the
board
and
and
vis
event,
staff
and
city
council
that
my
job
is
to
build
bridges
and
and
help
people
understand
how
this
industry
operates
and
and
and
do
what
I
can.
We
do
not
want
to
be
seen
as
a
pariah.
K
E
A
A
I
wanted
to
speak
to
the
work
that
the
land
use
working
group
has
done
and
is
doing
and
will
continue
to
do,
and
that
was
an
example
of
something
coming
from
council,
realizing
that
in
too
many
times,
residents
were
coming
to
council
with
little
knowledge
or
understanding
of
what
was
really
happening
and
what
the
laws
were
and
what
could
be
done
and
what
wasn't
really
practical
to
do
and
that
level
of
frustration
wasn't
very
productive
residents
went
away.
Disenchanted
council
really
wasn't
in
a
position
to
do
much
during
a
public
comment
period.
A
We're
working
hard
on
that,
and
I
think
your
situation
in
visit
ben
is
a
little
bit
akin
to
that.
I'm
just
appreciating
how
enlightened
I
am
by
just
this
powerpoint
and
I'm
thinking
of
how
many
people
don't
understand
how
this
is
how
this
business
works
and
how
this
business
model
works
and
what
it
does
for
residents.
So
I
think
there
may
be
a
place
in
the
future
where
having
this
kind
of
knowledge
allows
us
to
maybe
through
our
boards
and
through
our
meetings,
general
meetings
and
monthly
meetings.
We
get
this
message
across
that
hey.
A
This
is
really
good
stuff
and
it's
really
intricate,
but
it's
fun
and
you
know
that's
where
I
think.
Maybe
we
can
do
something.
That's
constructive
and
proactive.
Perhaps
and
that's
that's
a
perception
and
an
idea
right
now-
I'm
not
committing
anyone
to
that.
But
I'm
just
saying
I
believe,
there's
an
analogy
between
this
and
some
of
the
frustrations
that
people
in
bend
have
had
with
land
use
and
we've
done
some
good
work
there.
I
think
maybe
there's
some
good
work.
We
can
do
here.
M
E
M
He
didn't
didn't
put
it
this
way,
but,
with
the
exception
of
literally
a
few
percentage
points
that
we're
currently
fighting
about
with
a
statewide
advocacy
organization,
to
the
extent
you
hear
any
of
you
hear,
because
we've
all
heard
it:
why
doesn't
the
city
spend
less
on
tourism?
For
all
intents
and
purposes,
we
can't
we
do
have
some
flexibility
in
how
we
spend
it.
That's
the
code
issue
that
kevin
cited
earlier
and
councillor
mosley
spoken
about
that
at
length
at
various
various
times.
So
we
do
have
some
controls
the
city
on
how
we
spend
it.
M
A
N
We
got
our
points
across,
I
think
we
we
won
on
a
couple
of
points
such
as
excluding
the
micro
units
from
being
short-term
rentals,
and
I
think
we
probably
made
a
a
little
bit
of
an
inroad
in
terms
of
parking
and
making
sure
there
at
least,
is
a
provision
for
parking
at
one
point.
There
were
not
going
to
be
any
parking
spaces
associated
with
these
micro
units,
so
the
next
step
is
that
this
moves
to
the
council
work
session
and
I
believe,
that's
for
this
wednesday
at.
N
N
N
There
we
go,
and
I
was
pleasantly
surprised
at
how
well
several
of
the
council
members
were
already
prepared
to
talk
about
the
project
or
the
the
proposal
for
the
code
changes
and
they
were
already
up
to
speed.
We
ended
up
submitting
quite
a
few
recommended
reading
materials
around
micro
units,
both
pro
and
con,
so
that
it
wasn't
just
us
presenting
one
side
of
the
equation
dave.
Is
there
anything
else,
you'd
like
to
add.
O
Yeah,
I
just
want
to
go
back
and
clarify
I'm.
I
would
like
to
continue
to
talk
about
this,
but
I
just
want
to
go
back
and
note
that
our
council
meeting
is
not
tomorrow,
but
a
week
from
tomorrow
on
the
16th,
so
just
to
clarify
when
that
work
session
is.
Thank
you
thank
you
for
your
commitment
and
and
your
conversations
and
your
good
work
I'll
go
back
to
my
other
work.
I'm
watching
you.
A
Lisa,
I
have
a
question
for
you
specific
to
some
of
the
recommendations.
I
believe
our
recommendations
included
considering
initially
a
pilot
effort
on
these
micro
units
before
we
go
widespread
throughout
the
city.
I'm
I'm
curious.
If
that
has
been
properly
conveyed,
and
I
guess
I
would
also
ask
councillor
mosley
or
mayor
russell
if,
if
that
message
has
gotten
as
far
as
council,
so
that
it
is
under
consideration.
N
N
L
If
the
mla
has
a
specific
concern
or
position
on
it,
it's
actually
quite
common
that
we
would
get
like
an
issued
summary
as
a
part
of
our
packet
from
committee.
So
like
the
the
bdab
or
will
oftentimes
give
us
a
summary
of
their
position
and
the
planning
commission
will
as
well.
So
if
you,
if
you
wanted
to
draft
something
with
key
points,
that
would
be
a
great
way
to
make
sure
the
council's
aware
of
the
nla's
position.
N
B
J
Dave
at
this
point,
it's
gone
to
planning,
commission
and
the
letter
has
not
gone
to
council.
Yet
we
were
waiting
on
that
planning
commission
hearing
to
know
what
the
next
steps
were.
So
now
is
the
time
where
we
would
edit
that
letter
to
reflect
what
happened
at
planning,
commission
and
then
resend
to
council.
So
that
will
be
our
next
steps
and
we'll
discuss
that
at
the
thursday
meeting
this
week.
L
So
would
they
make
caleb?
Would
they
have
time
if
the
nla
had
an
opinion
and
given
that
we're
going
to
be
hearing
about
it
on
the
work
session
on
september
16th,
with
the
with
the
nla,
have
an
opportunity
to
provide
us
input?
Usually
what
happens
at
the
work
session?
Is
we
don't
make
final
decisions,
but
we
do
off.
We
do
provide
staff
direction
on
where
we
want
them
to
take,
and
then
they
go
through
all
this
complex
drafting
and
all
this
other
stuff,
and
essentially
the
train
leaves
the
station.
L
M
Yeah
to
follow
up
on
just
counselor
mosley
started
mikayla
picked
up
on.
I
think
it's
you
know
here
is
where
it's
important
to
think
about
what
a
working
group
or
a
subcommittee
is
supposed
to
be
doing
and
what
it
is
supposed
to
be
doing
is
making
recommendations
up
to
the
body
as
a
whole.
That's
the
nla!
So
really,
if
you
want
something
from
the
nla
as
a
whole
to
go
to
the
planning
commissioner
council,
it
should
be
the
nla
as
a
whole
that
is
promotion
taking
action
giving
direction.
M
My
my
sense
is
that
the
nla's
input
to
the
council
on
this
issue
might
be
very
similar
to
the
planning
commission.
So,
for
example,
if
the
nla
wanted
to
have
a
motion
tonight
that
said:
hey,
let's,
let's
work
with
staff
to
work
up.
Another
letter
perhaps
updated
to
reflect
what
happened
at
the
planning
commission,
but
making
some
of
the
same
points
to
the
council.
M
You
don't
you
don't
need
to,
but
I
think
if
you,
if
you
do
it,
that
way,
you're
going
to
be
in
a
position
a
similar
position
to
what
the
b
dab
was
before
the
planning
commission,
where
the
b
dab
advocacy
committee,
a
subgroup
of
beat
app,
said
hey,
we
have
some
thoughts.
We
have
some
input.
We
would
like
the
planning
commission
to
consider
so
here's
a
letter.
This
hasn't
gone
through
the
full
b
dab.
L
And
you
you
could
like
you,
you
don't
have
to
draft
the
language
in
the
la
you
could
simply
say
all
the
basic
points
that
we
made
in
the
original
letter
are
still
the
same
points
we
want
to
make
and
please
make
them
and
if
you
need
to
work
smith,
it
based
on
the
planning
commission
do
that
for
us
subgroup
and
that
would
be
sufficient
to
express
it.
And
I
don't
know
the
full
contents
of
the
letter,
but
that
would
tell
us
that
you
would
generally
run
support
very.
N
J
Sure,
just
real
quick
before
I
move
on.
I
did
want
to
note
that
also
at
next
week's
pencil
meeting,
so
that's
september
16th,
there
will
be
a
work
session
on
the
nla
recommendations
for
code
changes
and
that's
going
to
be
taking
place.
They
the
work
sessions
usually
start
at
3
pm,
and
all
of
that
info
can
be
found
on
the
city.
Council,
webpage
and
I'll
also
send
that
out
after
our
meeting
today.
So
you
have
the
information
on
how
to
attend.
J
I'm
pulling
up
my
slide
here,
so
I
can
show
you
so.
The
outreach
and
engagement
working
group
has
not
been
meeting
recently.
There's
it's
kind
of
been
left
to
do
make
the
updates
that
we
have
discussed
for
the
neighborhood
association
webpage
updates.
I
have
completed
and
I've
sent
out
a
couple
of
emails
and
directing
you
there,
but
I
wanted
to
run
everyone
through
it.
Just
so
you're
aware
how
to
access
the
new
information.
So
at
this
time
I
want
to
make
sure
you
guys
can
see
the
neighborhood
association
page
on
the
website.
J
Can
I
get
a
thumbs
up
from
someone
go
thanks.
So
if
you
were
to
go
to
this
neighborhood
association
page
and
you
can
access
it
by
going
to
community
and
then
it
says,
neighborhood
associations
when
it
drops
down
and
over
here
on
the
side,
there's
a
board
member
toolkit
and
if
you
go
to
the
board
member
toolkit
you'll
have
the
option
to
go
to
neighborhood
association
budgets,
and
this
is
a
page
that
has
been
highly
requested
by
all
the
neighborhood
associations.
J
Just
because
there's
been
some
issues
with
tracking
budgets
and
making
sure
that
the
city
has
the
same
itemized
lists
of
expenses
that
you
all
have,
and
so
this
is
a
page
that
is
new.
We
will
have
when
you
get
here.
You'll
see
the
table,
has
the
the
budgets
for
the
year
the
updated
tax,
lots
the
and
then
what
your
expenses
to
date
have
been,
and
so
this
first
table
here
is
kind
of
the
larger
snapshot
of
the
neighborhood
association
budget.
J
But
if
you're
specifically
looking
for
your
neighborhood's
info
on
what
you've
spent
thus
far
you'll
see
when
it
was
last
updated
and
you
can
click
on
the
drop
downs
to
see
where
your
neighborhood
association
is
at-
and
I
think
boyd
acres
has
one
so
you'll
actually
see
an
example
of
someone
that
has
spent
some
money
for
this
year
already.
So
this
is
just
a
new
resource
that
I
wanted
to
provide.
You'll,
also
see
that
there's
information
on
fiscal
year
1920.
J
So
if
you
want
to
just
compare
this
with
what
your
own
spreadsheets
say
for
last
year,
then
you
can
get
on
here
and
you
can
download
the
report.
That's
there
and
see
where
the
money
is
saying
that
it
it
went
to
at
least
on
the
city's
end,
and
so,
if
you
see
any
errors
or
have
any
questions,
please
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
me.
J
I
just
wanted
to
make
sure
that
you
knew
that
this
was
available
and,
as
I
said,
this
is
the
first
of
a
lot
of
changes
that
are
coming
to
the
neighborhood
association
website,
just
to
make
it
easier
for
the
neighborhood
associations
to
get
some
of
these
resources
like
mailing
lists
and
budget
information
and
and
so
on.
So
hopefully,
that's
helpful
for
you
guys
have
any
of
you.
Oh
one
last
thing
before
I
move
on.
J
There's
we're
gonna
be
adding
a
tracking
spreadsheet
to
this
website
and
that
tracking
spreadsheet
should
be
something
that
you
can:
click
on
and
actually
print
out
in
a
friendly
version,
so
that'll
be
coming
soon
and
I'm
working
with
lisa
on
that,
and
hopefully
we
can
get
it
together
in
the
next
month.
Here.
N
Just
to
add
to
what
michaela
just
said,
what
that
means
to
everybody
and
to
your
boards
is:
if
you've
got
that
spreadsheet,
then
your
individual
finance
or
treasurer
whatever
role
you
have,
they
aren't
going
to
need
to
do
their
own
tracking
and
they
don't
have
to
create
their
own
reports.
So
hopefully
this
will
save
people
a
little
bit
of
time
and
energy,
so
they
can
focus
on
other,
more
important
tasks.
N
J
I
think
the
only
thing
that
may
not
be
in
line
with
your
monthly
meetings
is
that
this
will
be
updated
quarterly,
so
yeah
you'll
keep
track.
If
that
works.
For
you
that's
great,
but
right
now
we
don't
have
the
capacity
to
update
it
any
more
frequently
than
that
bill.
You
were
going
to
say
something.
J
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
lisa
unsung
hero
because
I
know
how
many
hours
you
put
into
that
neighborhood
boundaries
working
group,
I'm
just
going
to
mention
that
our
policies
and
procedures
group
only
needs
to
work
on
policies
and
procedures,
occasionally
it's
more
of
an
ad
hoc
group
that
takes
on
other
things
and
we
agreed
to
take
on
the
boundaries
issue,
looking
towards
some
some
outcomes
and
some
work
products
for
later
next
year.
A
The
members
as
of
right
now,
chris
freeze,
dave
johnson,
myself,
karen
berczyk
and
lisa.
If
anyone
else
wants
to
be
on
the
boundaries
group,
please
feel
free
to.
Let
us
know
many
hands
make
for
light
lifting
and
it's
going
to
be
a
big
project.
I
think
the
type
of
project
that
could
use
more
hands-on
deck
so
don't
hesitate.
If
you
want
to
be
a
part
of
that
dialogue,
I
will
say
that
offline.
N
J
Yeah,
and
so
that
is
part
of
our
policies
and
procedures
that
we
worked
on
last
year,
if
there
are
n
a
members
that
are
interested
in
participating
in
these
working
groups,
they're
welcome
to
do
so.
They
just
have
to
come
to
me
and
so
that
I
can
get
them
set
up
with
our
systems
and
meeting
schedules.
So
that's
a
note
that
you
can
send
out
to
your
boards.
I
will
send
it
in
my
follow-up
from
this
meeting
and
and
yeah.
A
A
J
M
M
You
are
all
considered
public
employees,
and
I
know
that's
that's
very,
very
good
news
and
the
reason
that's
important
is
because
state
law
prohibits
public
employees
from
promoting
or
opposing,
among
other
things,
ballot
measures,
and
so
what
that
means
is
it's
not
a
gag
order
on
public
employees
or
volunteer
members
of
boards
and
commissions,
but
what
what
it
means
is
that,
if
you
are
in
your
official
capacity
communicating
about
this
ballot
measure,
it
needs
to
be
neutral.
You
cannot
advocate
for
or
against
it.
M
Perhaps
point
out
the
negative
things
about
the
ballot
measure.
If
it
passes
either
of
those
things
can
be
considered
advocacy
so
the
way
that
works
in
practice.
An
easy
example
is
if
somebody
asks
the
city's
finance
director
chief
chief
financial
officer,
what
are
some
of
the
economic
impacts
of
this
ballot
measure
if
it
passes
and
that's
a
normal
question,
it's
the
kind
of
question
that
our
cfo
gets
all
the
time.
M
Our
cfo
has
to
try
to
answer
that
question
with
facts
that
present
a
balanced
view
of
the
impacts
of
the
ballot
measure,
both
good
and
bad.
The
cfo
can't
just
provide
facts
that
might
lead
somebody
to
think
that
only
good
things
would
happen
or
only
bad
things
can
happen.
So
for
all
of
you
who
are
acting
in
your
official
capacity
as
nla
members,
you
are
subject
to
the
same
rules.
The
good
news
about
that
is
you're,
probably
only
acting
in
your
official
capacity
as
an
nla
member.
M
Meetings
or
possibly,
some
other
scenarios
where
you
might
be
appearing
as
an
nla
member,
for
example,
if
you're
testifying
to
counsel
you're,
probably
because
of
your
nla
membership
you're,
probably
acting
in
your
official
capacity,
if
you
are,
is
a
more
realistic
scenario.
I
think
for
for
election
season.
M
If
you
happen
to
start
talking
about
things
related
to
this
ballot
measure,
you
are
probably
going
to
be
construed
to
be
appearing
in
your
official
capacity,
and
you
have
to
be
very
careful
to
be
neutral,
balanced
and
impartial
in
how
you
provide
information
about
the
ballot
measure.
So,
for
instance,
if
you're
invited
to
a
neighborhood
association
because
you're
an
nla,
rep
and
you're
asked
to
weigh
in
on
things
about
the
city,
and
you
say
something
like
wow-
that
ballot
measure
the
geo
bond.
M
That's
going
to
be
great
for
our
our
neighborhood
or
it's
going
to
be
a
real
hassle
for
our
neighborhood.
If
you,
if
you
save
one
or
the
other,
without
reflecting
both,
you
are
at
least
arguably
promoting
or
opposing
the
ballot
measure
in
a
way
that
conflicts
with
state
law.
So
that's
how
you
have
to
act
in
your
official
capacity.
This,
of
course,
does
not
prevent
you
from
having
opinions
in
your
personal
capacity
of
a
kidney
or
whatever
you
want.
B
D
M
Yeah,
that's
mostly
correct.
The
a
neighborhood
association
board
can
engage
in
whatever
political
advocacy
it
wants
consistent
with
whatever
its
bylaws
say.
It's
not
subject
to
this
provision
of
state
law.
Now
whether
you
can
participate
in
that
discussion
because
you're,
an
nla
member,
I
wouldn't
say
you
can't
participate,
I
would
say
to
the
extent
you
do
it
has
to
be
impartial
and
and.
M
M
That
that's
absolutely
the
case.
I
will
say
that
one
person's
impartiality
is
another
person's
advocacy.
So
if
you
think
there
is
any
question
that
your
participation
might
be
viewed
as
you
acting
in
your
official
capacity,
a
really
safe
thing
to
do
is
just
to
not
participate
in
the
discussion
and
let
let
the
rest
of
the
board
have
it,
but
if
you
do
participate
and
there's
a
risk
that
you're
going
to
be
construed
to
be
acting
as
an
nla
member
or
speaking
from
that
capacity,
yes,
you
need
to
be
impartial.
M
L
M
That
that
is
something
you
absolutely
should
do.
There
are
times
where
you
know
you
can
think
of
scenarios
where
none
of
you
are
police
officers
who
are
going
to
be
showing
up
in
a
uniform
with
your
badge
and
guns,
saying
I'm
just
here
to
prepare
the
citizen
just
ignore
the
uniform,
but
that
that
disclaimer
is
a
good
idea.
Whether
it
actually
holds
up
can
depend
on
the
circumstances,
but
yes
clarifying
in
which
capacity
you
are
speaking
is
always
helpful.
M
Sure
I
was
just
going
to
say:
don't
don't
shy
away
from
providing
information?
I
I
worry
that
this
speech
in
election
season
can,
I
think
it
can
be
so
burdensome
to
people
that
they
maybe
decide
it's
better,
just
not
to
engage
in
any
discourse.
I
hope
that's
not
the
result,
but
if
you
find
yourself
providing
information
or
wanting
to
do
that,
you
can
do
that
it
just
you
have
to
make
some
effort
so
it'd
be
neutral.
A
Understood:
okay,
let's
move
on
to
reports
and
I
will
kick
this
off
because
we
usually
follow
the
roll
call
order
of
things.
I
don't
have
much
to
report.
I
will
say
that
I
will
present
to
the
aubrey
butte
board
tomorrow
and
for
their
approval,
which
I
anticipate
that
we
will
work
closely
with
century
west
regarding
their
candidate
forum
in
october.
A
I
see
that
as
a
a
great
way
for
us
to
work
closely
together,
maybe
promote
some
membership
and
certainly
have
our
boards
get
to
work
together.
A
little
bit
closely,
I
would
add
to
ian's
message
that
I'm
you
know
all
of
us
want
to
be,
of
course
careful
for
those
compliance
rules.
I
tend
to
try
to
err
on
the
very
safe
side
and
if
I
feel
compelled
to
take
a
position
on
something
I
do
try
to
be
clear,
whether
it's
a
radio
interview
or
something
to
media
in
any
fashion.
A
I
do
try
to
be
clear
if
I'm
straight
at
all
from
the
message,
I
try
to
be
clear
that
I
disclose,
if
I
have
a
personal
feeling
on
this,
but
we
all
have
to
make
our
judgment.
As
ian
said,
you
know
we
should
be
careful
not
to
feel
like.
We
can't
say
anything
simply
because
there
are
some
rules
surrounding
this,
but
other
than
that,
I'm
going
to
pass
the
report
portion
on
to
lisa.
N
Thanks
hans
thanks
for
mentioning
the
candidate
forum,
I
would
say
that
is
the
the
one
thing
that
is
coming
out
of
our
neighborhood
and
southern
crossing
summit
and
old
farm,
because
those
are
the
people
out
of
the
land
use
working
group
that
volunteered
to
organize
the
candidate
forum.
I
am
very
happy
to
let
everybody
know
that
we
have
eight
out
of
10
candidates
officially
confirmed
their
rsvp
was
due
this
afternoon
at
five
o'clock,
and
so
we
will
have
the
candidate
forum
on
sunday
october,
4th
beginning
at
3
p.m.
N
We
will
have
two
sessions
with
four
candidates
in
each
session,
and
just
so,
you
guys
know
I'm
sending
out
an
email
here
after
our
meeting
I'll,
send
it
to
michaela,
so
she
can
include
it
in
the
follow-ups.
So
I
don't
violate
any
rules
right,
michaela,
okay,
so
october.
Fourth,
sunday
afternoon,
three
o'clock,
two
sessions,
four
candidates.
In
each
session.
We
are
working
like
crazy
on
our
questions.
N
So
there
will
be
different
questions
depending
on
the
format
and
once
we
have
all
of
that
compiled
we'll
be
sending
it
out
to
any
of
the
neighborhood
any
all
of
the
neighborhoods
actually,
and
you
can
send
this
out
to
your
membership
if
you're
wanting
to
participate.
I
just
ask
that
you
send
me
an
email,
and
let
me
know
that
your
n
a
is
interested.
N
N
N
We
have
signs
ready
to
be
printed
at
think
inc
if
you're
interested
in
signage
for
your
neighborhood
association,
some
of
the
neighborhoods
are
considering
sending
out
a
mailer
like
a
hard
copy
postcard
around
the
candidate
forum,
and
I
think
that
some
people
are
trying
to
use
that
as
hans
alluded
to
as
a
way
to
also
gain
some
membership.
So
you
might
consider
sending
out
a
postcard
to
your
doors
list,
not
just
you,
of
course.
Your
membership
list
hans
or
anybody
have
any
questions.
D
N
No,
we
actually
have,
I
think,
it's
matt
mcdonald,
as
our
moderator
he's
on
board
and
I
think
he's
a
former
anchor
for
one
of
the
tv
stations,
and
so
it's
going
to
be
a
very
professional
event.
I
do
want
to
also
give
some
credit
to
the
ben
neighborhood
coalition
and
in
particular,
bill
bernardi
for
his
participation.
N
A
J
J
We
don't
say
what
needs
to
be
discussed
at
those
meetings
or
what
you
need
to
do.
That
is
all
in
your
own
bylaws,
and
so
I
think
that
what
I
would
suggest
is
that
you
take
a
look
at
your
bylaws
and
see
if
there
are
requirements
that
need
to
be
met
in
in
pause
and
then
figure
out
a
way
to
whether
it's
me
10
minutes
after
the
forum
to
get
your
business
part
done.
You're
welcome
to
do
that
or
if
you
need
help
figuring
out
how
to
how
to
make
this
work.
J
N
Lisa
I'll
I'll
just
offer
I
checked
into
century
west
bylaws
and
for
our
requirements.
We
need
to
have
10
members
in
order
for
it
to
count
as
a
general
membership
meeting,
and
so
it's
not
very
extensive
and
in
terms
of
well.
How
would
I
know
or
how
would
each
neighborhood
know
who
attends
we
are
doing
an
rsvp
through
evite
and
we
will
be
tracking
attendees
people
that
rsvp
down
to
the
n
a
level
and
we
plan
on
giving
each
n
a
the
roster
of
who
attended
or
who
registered
for
the
meeting.
N
We
may
not
be
able
to
absolutely
determine.
Did
they
actually
show
up?
That's
something
that
we're
still
trying
to
figure
out,
but
I
think
we're
going
to
be
able
to
get
that
piece
figured
out
for
you
too.
If
they
are
not
currently
tied
into
a
particular
neighborhood
association,
there's
going
to
be
a
box
for
them
to
check
and
we'll
have
the
ability
to
follow
up
with
them
and
hopefully
ask
them
to
join
membership
for
their
n
a.
B
A
I
Okay,
gabby's
our
land
use
chair,
has
been
working
a
lot
on
the
candidates
forum
with
lisa
and
so
we'll
be
part
of
that
discussion
and
we're
sending
out
a
postcard,
along
with
other
nas
as
well,
so
debbie's
been
really
active
with
lisa.
I'm
working
on
that
we're.
Looking
at
joint
storage
space
with
other
n
a's
we've
been
running
space,
but
the
cost
went
up
and
we
have
a
commitment
of
at
least
one
one,
other
nh,
that's
interested
in
sharing
storage
and,
if
you're
interested
in
sharing
source
space.
I
I
I
just
finished
using
survey
planet
to
put
together
the
first
survey
for
the
slow
down
signs
for
the
neighborhoods.
It's
going
to
be
sent
out
in
the
next
day
or
so,
and
the
intense
to
see
if
people
noticed
any
decreased
speed
in
their
neighborhoods
after
the
signs
went
up.
So
that's
the
first
time.
I've
done
survey
planet
and
I
think
we
have
50
signs
out
in
the
neighborhood
fairly
small
survey,
but
it
and
it's
more
anecdotal,
but
I
want
to
see
if
people
felt
like
they
made
a
difference
or
not.
I
I'm
also
working
on
changing
the
bylaws
to
allow
electronic
voting
for
the
annual
meeting.
Our
bylaws
did
not
allow
that.
So
that's
one
of
the
things
we
had
to
change
next
I'll
be
looking
at
the
best
platform
for
how
to
vote
for
an
election
virtually.
So
if
anyone
else
is
interested
in
that,
could
they
contact
me
because
it
would
be
easier
if
we
could
work
together
on
doing
this
versus
me
doing
this
research
on
my
own,
when
I
really
don't
know
what
I'm
doing
so,
if
you're
interested
in
electronic
voting
platforms,
let
me
know.
A
D
B
I
will
send
the
link
to
that
also,
but
it's
the
bend
land
something
survey
and
it
shows
how
how
you
know
how
all
of
the
land
is
sectioned
off
and
gives
statistics.
But
I
was
floored
when
I
as
a
land
use
committee,
member
hadn't,
even
heard
of
it
so
I'll,
be
including
that
in
my
email
I
will
send
the
email
to
michaela
with
all
of
those
links
and
then
she
can
send
it
out
to
you
all.
E
J
Yes,
that
is
how
it
works,
so
they
send
all
the
resources
to
me
and
it
just
prevents
communication
and
communicating
outside
of
our
well
public
meetings
law.
Essentially,
so
I
will
get
all
of
those
documents
that
have
been
referenced,
compile
them
into
one
email
and
then
send
them
to
you
as
follow-up
from
this
meeting.
E
E
Road
and
deschutes
market
road
are
open.
Now
the
rest
of
them
are
opening
soon
late
december,
late
september
and
early
october,
and
so
on.
I
won't
go
through
all
of
that
because
you
can
see
it
yourself,
but
it
is
quite
interesting
and
exciting
for
those
folks
who
live
here
both
for
the
positive
and
negative
reasons.
You
know
the
more
traffic
and
and
better
flow
of
traffic.
So
that's
been
a
heated
discussion
here
for
several
months.
E
E
And
finally,
I
thought
lisa
did
an
excellent
job
of
describing
that
whole
candidate
forum
process
sounds
like
it's
a
pretty
engaging
opportunity
for
them.
We're
going
to
do
the
same
thing
using
it
as
as
the
general
membership
meeting
on
the
28th
of
september.
We've
got
great
participation
so
far.
I.
D
E
E
We
are
providing
topics,
not
necessarily
questions
to
the
candidates
of
equity
and
diversity,
transportation,
affordable
housing,
increased
city
representation
for
east
side
issues,
things
like
that
that
are
really
relevant
and
maybe
more
specific
to
the
to
the
mountain
view,
neighborhood
as
a
beginning
and
then,
of
course,
we'll
disseminate
that
information
on
a
pretty
open
basis,
but
yeah.
I
appreciated
all
the
work
that
went
into
what
lisa
said
that
they
had
done
and
all
the
partnerships
that
they
had
cleaned
we
one
of
our
well.
E
We
did
a
drone
video
of
the
mountain
view,
neighborhood
and
it
will
be
shown
as
part
of
this
membership
meeting.
It's
it's
a
cute
one,
it's
a
nice
one.
It
very
well
depicts
our
neighborhood,
and-
and
this
is
both
it's
light
and
and
informative.
So
we'll
have
this
on
that
that's
pretty
up
now
anybody
can
go
on
it,
take
a
look
at
it
and
let
us
know
how
you
think
about
it,
but
so
I
think
that
is
it.
I
appreciate
the
question
here:
I'm
looking
forward
to
continuing
thanks.
F
F
We
have
distributed
about
a
dozen
of
our
slow
down,
bend
signs
and
I'm
waiting
to
hear
back
from
any
any
feedback
from
folks
with
with
success
of
slowing
down
the
traffic
along
their
streets.
There
appear
to
be
several
hot
spots
and
I've
just
been
collecting
the
information
about
you
know
which
street
the
signs
are
going
to.
E
G
B
A
G
What
am
I
wearing
khakis?
No
lana,
we
had
a
meeting,
we
had
a
general
meeting
regarding
development
in
the
golden
triangle.
We
are
inundated
with
other
land
use
stuff
that
just
seems
to
be
changing
the
character
and
desirability
of
our
neighborhood.
We
have
roundabouts
that
route
significantly
traffic
into
our
neighborhood.
G
We
had
a
fire
that
had
caused
some
of
our
residents
to
have
to
evacuate
that
really
brought
out
how
stressful
it
is,
and
should
we
have
a
fire
associated
with
fireworks
would
be
similar
to
that
bona
would
really
like
to
work
with
other
neighborhoods
fireworks.
We
have
a
fauna
signed
letter.
I
know
I
submitted
one
before
that
was
signed
by
me.
Well
now,
it's
it's
occurred
by
the
board
that
I
can
submit
at
any
time.
I
don't
know
where
we
want
to
go
with
that,
but
please
contact
us.
G
G
So
we
have
to
figure
out
who's
going
to
tackle
that
he
was
just
having
nightmares
with
mailchimp.
So
anybody
has
as
a
super
mail,
chimp
expert.
Maybe
you
can
contact
me.
I
expect,
as
secretary
on
my
board,
that
that
will
probably
fall
to
me
as
if
I
want
it,
and
just
because
nobody
said
so
bend
is
really
isolated.
G
P
Hey
everyone,
our
n,
a
has
been
extremely
quiet
over
the
summer.
I
think
folks
are
just
trying
to
figure
out
life
and
work
life
and
what
the
heck
to
do
with
kids
and
supporting
our
neighbors
as
much
as
we
can.
So.
We've
been
hunkered
down
on
a
lot
of
that
and
looking
forward
to
hopefully
someday
getting
back
on
track
with
our
strategic
plan
and
our
objectives.
