A
Thank
you
hi
thanks,
so
much
for
being
here
so
mayor,
russell
has
directed
us
to
continue
to
meet
and
focus
on
the
items
related
and
council
goals.
So
today
susanna
jobler,
dual
birth.
Sorry
did
I
say
that
correctly
yeah,
so
she's
going
to
give
us
a
brief
overview
of
the
newly
proposed
code
amendments
for
the
shelters
here
in
bend.
C
So
thanks
for
having
me
and
squeezing
me
in
today,
by
now,
you've
probably
heard
some
talk
around
town
about
the
sounding
board's
work,
which
basically
started
in
april
of
this
year
and
as
summer
mentioned
hans
jorgensen
was
the
representative
from
the
nla
on
the
sounding
board.
It
was
a
about
a
nine
person
committee,
so
councilor,
perkins
and
campbell
are
on
it
as
well
as
planning
commissioner,
scott
winters
and
I'll
show
you
the
website.
C
You
can
look
and
see
who's
all
on
it,
but
we
worked
pretty
hard
on
developing
a
set
of
code
amendments
that
would
allow
different
shelter
types
city-wide
in
most
city-wide
zoning
districts
and
in
august
end
of
august.
The
sounding
board
made
a
recommendation
on
a
draft
set
of
code
amendments
and
we
wanted
to
try
something
different.
C
We
heard
so
much
feedback
about
house
bill,
2001
and
not
involving
the
public
in
these
type
of
code
amendments,
and
so
we
worked
with
our
office
of
performance
management
to
do
something
called
a
story
map
and
I
think
you've
all
seen
that
before
with
your
land
use
101
but
we're
using
it
as
a
way
to
to
kind
of
survey.
The
public
and
hope
that
they
take
the
time
to
walk
through
it.
C
We
are
asking
pretty
targeted
questions
about
the
specific
code
amendments
because
that's
what
the
sounding
board
was
charged
with
developing
these
code
amendments
and
we're
trying
to
get
it
that
draft
set
of
code
amendments
in
shape
to
go
to
the
public
review
in
the
for
the
planning
commission
on
january.
10Th
is
the
work
session
and
then
january
24th
is
would
be
the
public
hearing
and
that's
all
tentative.
You
know
that
can
change,
but
that's
it
looks
pretty
certain
that
it's
gonna
go.
So
I
don't
know.
C
Maybe
you
all
can
raise
your
hands
if
you've
had
a
chance
to
take
a
look
at
the
at
the
story.
Map
already
and
you've
seen
the
press
release
okay.
So
that
gives
me
a
good
idea.
So
you've
looked
through
it
a
little
bit
and
I
mean
in
some
ways
we're
kind
of
just
curious
too,
if
this
is
an
effective
way
to
kind
of
get
people
to
understand
a
little
more
about
what
we're
proposing
and
an
easy
way
to
explain,
complicated
stuff.
C
Basically,
we
can
put
links
in,
and
things
like
that,
so
people
can
take
the
time
to
read
up
on
it
instead
of
having
to
go
to
an
open
house,
which
I
think
you
know
we're
all
in
this
world,
which
is
probably
changing
as
far
as
that
goes,
so
I'm
curious
to
hear
what
people
think
about
just
the
tool
in
general.
So
let
me
go
ahead
and
I'll
just
kind
of
walk
through
the
code
amendments.
Can
everybody
see
my
screen?
Maybe
you
can
give
me
a
okay
great,
thank
you.
C
So
you'll
see
at
the
top
there's
a
landing
page
that
talks
generally
about
turn
that
off
about
the
issues
we're
having
regarding
houselessness
in
the
city
of
bend.
We
also
had
the
there's
a
whole
separate
sounding
board
website
just
like
this,
but
in
spanish
we
had
it
translated
to
spanish.
So
we're
curious
to
see
how
many
spanish
speakers
we
get
taking
the
survey
and
how
that
response
is
and
there's
just
some
background
talking
about
the
city's,
affordable
housing
crisis
and
kind
of
what
we're
doing
talking
about
the
council
goals.
C
This
is
part
of
the
city
council
goals
to
address
increasing
funding
sources
and
expanding
options
for
temporary
and
permanent
housing.
The
city
manager
appointed
the
sounding
board
to
house
our
neighbors
and
we've
been
working
to
develop
code
amendments
since
then,
let's
see
so,
basically,
all
all
the
shelters
are
proposed
to
be
managed,
so
a
managed
type
of
situation
either
on-call
or
on-site
managed.
All
of
them
provide
on-site
parking
parking
was
a
big
kind
of
hans
was
here.
I'd.
C
Have
him
kind
of
talk
about
this
a
little
bit
more,
but
parking
was
a
big
discussion
point
for
the
sounding
board.
Members-
and
you
know
some
of
the
city.
Councilors
are
really
really
think
that
it's
a
good
idea
to
not
require
parking
on
site,
but
some
of
the
service
providers
think
it's
super
important
too,
just
because
they
need
a
place
to
park
their
vehicles
when
they
go
and
provide
services
to
the
folks
in
the
shelters
and
then
for
a
lot
of
houseless
people.
C
Their
car
is
like
their
safe
space,
and
so
it's
kind
of
not
realistic
to
assume
they're
gonna
park,
four
blocks
away
and
leave
all
their
belongings
and
go
and
stay
in
an
overnight
shelter
and
it's
a
place.
It's
it's
their
home
home,
basically
for
many
people,
so
also
what
we
find
that
happens
is
if
parking
isn't
required
on
site.
It
spills
out
into
the
neighborhood,
and
we
don't
want
that
to
happen
with
these
so
we'll
see
when
it
gets
to
city
council.
C
The
shelters
are
a
little
bit
less
of
in
way
of
development
requirements
than
like
a
a
brewery
or
a
hotel
would
would
be
required
to
meet
they're
required
to
meet
the
minimum
requirements
of
the
ada
act,
so
part
of
the
site
can
be,
it
can
be
graveled,
so
it's
a
little
bit
less
requirements
as
far
as
that
goes
just
to
keep
down
on
the
cost.
And
again
these
are
all
recommendations.
This
is
not
set
in
stone.
All
shelters
have
to
provide
screening
for
any
portable
toilets
and
trash
receptacles.
C
They
have
to
do
good,
neighbor
outreach
and
evidence
of
a
neighborhood
meeting,
and
they
cannot
be
used
for
short-term
rentals
and
so
most
of
the
shelters.
Yeah
all
of
the
shelters
are
are
permitted
to
some
extent
in
all,
but
the
heavy
industrial
zoning
district,
and
that's
just
because
of
the
nature
of
that
heavy
industrial
zone.
Sometimes
they
use
you
know
flammable
materials,
it's
not
great
to
have
a
bunch
of
residents
next
to
them.
C
So
that
was
a
recommendation
from
the
sounding
board
and
I'm
sorry.
This
link
is
broken
and
the
tech
person
that
set
this
page
up
was
not
here
today.
So,
tomorrow
he's
going
to
fix
the
link
link
for
me,
but
you
can
find
the
code
amendments
on
the
soundingboard
webpage,
so
I'll
just
go
through
really
quick
and
I'm
not
able
to
see
if
there's
questions
so
maybe
somewhere,
you
could,
let
me
know-
or
somebody
could
let
me
know
if
there's
questions
along
the
way,
so
the
sounding
board
came
up
with
these
different
shelter
types.
C
So
the
first
is
a
group
shelter.
This
is
not
in
any
order
of
importance
or
anything,
but
the
group
shelter
is
what
you
think
of
with
the
low
barrier
shelter
on
second
street.
So
it's
basically
like
one
room
set
up
with
cots
and
a
lot
of
times.
It's
it's
much.
You
know
it's
much
safer
to
provide
this
in
order
to
get
folks
out
of
the
right-of-way
where
many
times
they're
not
safe,
sleeping
there.
C
It's
important
continuum
in
the
transitional
housing
world,
so
the
sounding
board's
recommendations
for
these
type
of
shelters
is
that
it
just
be
regulated
by
the
state
building
code.
So
you
know,
when
you
walk
into
any
building,
it
says
the
maximum
occupancy.
I
think
back
in
our
the
day
when
we
would
go
into
our
council
chambers,
it
would,
I
think
the
max
occupancy
was
75,
so
it's
pretty
unlikely
that,
with
our
land
being
so
expensive,
building
materials,
building
construction
being
so
expensive,
we're
gonna
ever
see,
probably
like
a
brand
new
building.
C
That's
going
to
be
a
homeless
shelter!
I
mean
it's
just
not
really
realistic.
These
are
going
to
go
into
existing
buildings,
and
so,
instead
of
coming
up
with
a
number
based
on
zoning,
the
sounding
board
felt
like
leaving
it
to
just
the
building
occupancy
size
would
would
pretty
much
take
care
of
that
so
and
those
get
lowered
you
know
with
with
kobit.
They
were
lowered
quite
a
bit
because
to
create
the
six
feet
of
space,
and
things
like
that.
C
So
just
for
perspective,
the
low
barrier
shelter
on
second
street
has
a
70
bed
capacity.
Shepard's
house
has
a
30
bed
capacity
and
you
can
see
examples
of
of
different
pictures
if
you
scroll
through-
and
I
think
I'm
going
to
go
a
little
bit
quicker
here.
Just
because
I
know
you
have
other
stuff
to
get
to
the
next
type
of
shelter
is
a
multi-room
shelter.
So
this
is
kind
of
like
a
hotel,
if
you
think
of
a
hotel
or
an
apartment.
C
Building
where
there's
different
rooms
and
the
bethlehem
is
a
good
example
project
turnkey,
which
the
city
got
funding
from
the
state
to
purchase
a
hotel
to
to
convert
to,
I
think,
28
rooms.
So
these
are
similar,
so
it's
just
different
rooms.
So
the
sounding
board
based
their
recommendations
for
the
maximum
number
of
bedrooms
by
zoning
district,
and
it's
very
confusing
a
little
bit
on
what
similar
like
apartments
densities
are
based
on,
so
based
on
their
recommendations.
C
A
maximum
of
258
rooms
per
acre
would
be
allowed
in
the
high
density
residential
commercial
light,
industrial
mixed
use
in
the
public
facilities,
zoning
districts.
So
those
are
the
the
higher
density.
Zoning
districts
would
be
258
per
acre,
a
maximum
of
130
per
acre
in
the
medium
density,
zoning
district
and
then
45
rooms
per
acre,
which
is
pretty
low
density,
really
in
the
rm10
zoning
district
and
43,
and
then
24
in
the
low
density,
residential
zoning
district
and.
C
The
outdoor
shelter
is
basically
like.
You
know
what
you
think
of
with
a
managed
camp.
This
is
from
southern
oregon,
a
emergency,
shelter
situation,
they
have
down
there
and
then
this
is
veterans
village,
which
is
opening
soon
in
the
north
side
of
town.
So
these
are
15
units
and
a
common
common
facility,
and
this
was
authorized
under
house
bill,
not
2006.
C
3412.
I
think
30,
I'm
going
to
get
it
wrong.
It's
the
prior
version
of
2006,
but
it's
an
emergency
shell
shelter
bill
that
the
legislature
passed
where
these
type
of
shelters
can
go
in,
irrespective
of
zoning,
so
so
for
outdoor
shelter.
This
is
probably
the
one
we
spent
the
most
time
on,
because
you
know
it's
it's
outside.
It's
not
contained
within
a
building,
and
so
the
sounding
board
felt
like
a
good
carrying
capacity
for
a
site
and
based
on
sort
of
like
this
density.
C
C
so
and
then
parking
is
required
at
0.5
up
to
16
units
and
then
from
then
on
a
little
bit.
Less
parking
is
required
and
you
can
see
so
there's
outdoor
examples,
veterans,
village,
rogue
retreat
in
southern
oregon
has
quite
a
few
of
these
kind
of
tiny
home
villages
with
like
eight
little
cabins
on
them,
and
then
this
is
the
managed
campground
in
southern
oregon,
which
happened
after
the
fires
down
there.
I
think
there's
120
sites
there
now
and
then.
C
Take
advantage
of
of
that
program
because
of
the
wildfire
issues,
and
you
know
catastrophe
last
summer
we
had
through
emergency
order
a
provision
where,
if
a
victim
of
a
wildfire
needed,
an
rv
to
stay
in
a
person
could
could
get
a
permit
through
that,
and
that
has
since
expired,
we're
not
in
that
emergency
situation
any
longer.
We
didn't
get
a
lot
of
people
taking
advantage
of
it.
You
have
to
provide
verification
that
you're
receiving
aid
from
like
the
red
cross.
C
So
you
know
it's
another
barrier
to
go
through,
but
the
sounding
board
wanted
to
recommend
that
a
family
member
could
do
this.
The
permit
is
good
for
a
year.
The
community
building
subcommittee
listened
to
this
and
recommended
that
as
well
a
year,
and
you
can
renew
it
two
additional
times
and
then,
if
you
go
to
this
last
tab,
this
is
where
you
can
tell
us
what
you
think
it
takes
a
little
bit
to
load,
and
I
actually,
I
think
it's
been
really
busy.
Today.
It's
been
very
bogged
down
so
at
the
top.
C
Here
is
a
map
linked
to
the
zoning
map.
So
people
can
see
where
things
are
zoned
and
then
it's
these
questions
are
really
targeted
towards
the
specific
recommendations,
because
that's
what
the
sounding
board
is
charged
to
do
develop
recommendations
and
the
technical
code
language.
You
there's
still
spots
to
explain
your
answer.
C
C
Hi
so
it'll
come
in
an
excel
spreadsheet
and
I'll
probably
you
know
pdf
that
and
put
it
online.
So
people
can
see
responses
and
things
and
then
the
sounding
board
is
going
to
review
that
and
make
their
final
recommendations
on
the
code
it
november
10th
and
that's
open
to
the
public
so
yeah
any.
I
see
some
hands
up
so.
H
H
C
D
F
H
So,
thank
you.
So
I
think
that
people
are
probably
reading
the
stories
about
what's
happening
in
seattle,
where
they
have
broken
down.
Cars
broken
down
rvs,
and
it
is
to
the
magnitude
that
the
city
cannot
respond
and
it's
overwhelming
to
the
city
also
because
of
cost
they
they
just
don't
have
the
funds
to
manage.
All
of
that.
So
I'm
really
concerned
about
parking
really
concerned
that
yeah
any
idea
how
many
service
people
would
be
visiting
these
sites
on
a
daily
basis.
C
D
C
H
That's
exactly
what
I
thought
and
in
some
cases
it
looks
like
our
planned
developments
have
enough
parking
from
maybe
just
the
service
providers
and
not
anybody
else.
So
again,
I'm
really
concerned
about
parking,
because
if
there
isn't
any
parking
it
will
overflow
into
the
neighborhoods
and
impact
our
neighbors.
So
thank
you
very.
A
C
E
C
That
will
be,
the
sounding
board
will
be
looking
at
that,
and
you
know
it's
really
great.
If
people
weigh
in
you
know,
if
we
have
a
lot
of
responses
so
because
parking
was
a
big
like
issue
like
do
we
require
it,
do
we
not?
How
much
do
we
require,
so
it
would
be
great
to
get
folks
input
on
that
specific
issue
and.
A
H
H
F
C
And
providing
like
the
regulatory
framework
for
houseless
shelters
to
go
in,
but
the
service
providers
you
know
who
are
managing
the
shelter
and
providing
the
management
can
make
a
decision
about
that
on
their
own.
If
you
go
to
the
proposed
code,
I
think
we
have
kennels
in
there.
I
can't
remember
if
that
stated
or
not,
but
I'm
pretty
sure
we
put
things
that
like
shelters
may
provide
the
following
and
it's
not
an
exhaustive
list,
but
I
think
we
put
kennels
in
there.
I
can
double
check.
H
Thank
you
on
the
survey.
I
noticed
that
we're
tying
it
back
to
geographic
areas,
maybe
quadrants,
but
why
not
tie
it
back
to
the
neighborhood
association
so
that
we
can
gauge
some
of
our
participation
and
gauge
even
how
effective
the
neighborhoods
are
being
with
getting
this
word
out
about
the
survey.
C
Yeah,
that's
a
good
idea.
I
think
we
talked
about
that
and
a
lot
of
people
don't
know
what
neighborhood
association
they're
in
so
we
went
with
the
quadrants
instead,
but
we
can.
We
can
think
about
whether
we
want
to
change
it
or
not.
I
mean
at
least
with
the
quadrants
we'll
be
able
to
tell
southeast
you
know
old
farm
that
way,
but
good
good
input.
H
Yeah
yeah,
I
think
that
would
be
really
important
as
we
continue
to
do
these
surveys
and
we're
trying
to
gauge
the
effectiveness
of
neighborhood
associations.
It
would
be
nice
to
have
those
kinds
of
that
kind
of
data
reported
back
to
us.
It
really
should
be
a
two-way
communication,
so
neighborhoods
know
what
they're
doing
right
and
what
we're
not
being
very
effective,
and
I
think
those
are
all
of
my
questions.
Thank
you.
A
A
J
J
But
just
you
know,
feedback
from
my
take
on
this.
Is
that
it's
I
don't
know
how
to
answer
those
questions.
I
I've
read
through
the
descriptions
I
can
try
to
visualize
it
trying
to
visualize
10
000
square
feet
of
a
lot
and
43
bedrooms
and
stuff.
It's
just
so
that
is
difficult.
I
mean
I
don't
know
where
to
go.
I
guess
I
could
look
at
the
code,
but
it's
still
really
hard
to
just
visualize
what
that
would
look
like
if
it's
planted
in
a
given
neighborhood.
K
I
got
the
unmute,
can
you
hear
me
maybe
not
first?
I
hope
the
survey
has
a
send
button
because
it
seems
like
I
fill
out
a
lot
of
things
and
then
I
don't
know
how
to
get
them
to
to
you.
So
if,
if
that's
prominent
and
just
that
the
women's
shelter
east
on
bear
creek
has
dog
kennels
that
I
think
are
used,
and
I
don't
know
if
that's
relevant
to
this
discussion
but
they've
been
put
in,
and
I
think
it's
an
arm
of
bethlehem
inn
for
women
out
there
on
bear
creek.
F
I
I
I
know
that's
a
compliment:
suzanna
yeah
I
mean
this
is
the
the
distinction
between
what
city
allows
through
its
code
or
development
code,
and
then
what
these
private
ccnrs
allow
or
don't
allow
is,
is
an
interesting
one
when,
when
the
city,
when
a
city
I'll
speak
generically,
when
a
city
is
looking
at
whether
something
is
approvable
or
allowed,
it
looks
only
at
its
code.
So
it's
municipal
code,
it's
development
code.
Whatever
the
issue
is,
you
may
have
situations
where
a
city
says
yep.
This
is
allowed.
I
Our
code
authorizes
this,
but
you
also
have
private
ccnr's,
which
are
private
agreements
between
private
parties.
That
say
this
can't
happen.
So
a
city
generally
doesn't
consider
what
ccnr's
may
be
in
place
when
it's
making
a
decision
as
to
whether
approve
or
allow
something
that
does
not
mean
that
changes
to
a
city's
development
code
that
allow
a
certain
use
or
activity
override
a
ccnr.
I
D
I
This
on
your
property,
because
when
you
bought
the
property,
there
was
a
covenant
that
restricts
your
ability
to
do
it
that
is
generally
still
enforceable
by
a
neighbor,
an
hoa
or
some
other
private
party.
So
you
can
have
these
things
that
sort
of
exist
side
by
side
and
say
different
things
in
terms
of
what
is
allowed
and
what
isn't
allowed?
I
F
I
C
We
haven't
talked
so
much
in
the
sounding
board.
Well,
we
have
but
talked
a
little
bit
about
whether
these
should
be
certain
one
should
be
type
one
versus
type
two.
So
that's
type
two
is
when
there's
more
notice
to
neighbors
and
that's
when
I
think
you
get
probably
noticed
as
the
neighborhood
chair
or
something
like
neighborhood
association
chair
about
land
use
stuff
in
your
neighborhood.
C
B
So
yeah
yeah.
I
think
that
would
be
great
if
you
could
build
that
in
and
then
one
quick
question
is:
there's
a
lot
of
different
populations
of
people
that
don't
have
homes
or
houses,
I'm
guessing
that
the
service
providers
that
will
be
offering
these
types
of
shelters
will
be
deciding
what
population
of
the
house
lists
will
be
going
into
these
shelters.
Is
that
correct,
yeah.
D
C
A
C
A
Thank
you
so
we're
going
to
move
on
to
nla
history
role
and
council
assessment
michaela's
going
to
lead
us
through
this.
So
as
an
introduction,
we've
been
talking
a
lot
about
turnover
at
the
nas
and
the
nla,
and
that
includes
with
mayor
russell
and
councillor
perkins
last
month.
So
mayor
russell
has
agreed
that
we
can
discuss
an
a
board
member
and
regular
member
like
neighbor
member
recruitment
and
engagement
over
the
next
few
months,
because
many
of
the
nla
reps
are
new.
A
G
Thanks
summer
and
I'm
gonna
turn
off
my
camera
because
I'm
having
some
internet
issues-
I
guess
that's
in
the
air
today.
So
if
you
can't
see
me,
I'm
also
not
going
to
see
you
now,
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
kayla
and
summer
to
watch
for
hands,
and
while
I
bring
up
slides
and
go
through
this
process.
G
So
really
what
we're
hoping
to
do
today
is
give
some
context,
because
we've
had
all
that
turnover
like
summer
said
on
n
a
boards
and
with
the
nla
there's
a
lot
of
the
history
of
the
neighborhood
associations
that
have
been
lost
in
the
shuffle.
If
you
will-
and
so
I
think,
in
order
for
us
to
move
forward
effectively,
it's
really
good
if
we
revisit
where
we
came
from,
so
that
I'm
going
to
pull
up
some
slides
here.
G
So
the
timeline
that
I
have
for
the
today
is
just
to
go
over
a
quick
timeline
of
when
the
neighborhood
associations
began
to
how,
where
we're
at
today
and
they've,
been
around
for
about
20
years.
So
we'll
walk
through
the
different
steps
that
we've
gone
through
in
our
relationship
with
the
city
and
we'll
talk
about
how
the
neighborhood
leadership
alliance
became
to
be
an
advisory
committee.
G
Sorry
for
those
of
you
that
this
is
a
review,
but
I
will
ask
you
to
chime
in
if
I
have
gotten
anything
wrong
since
you
were
there
and
I
was
not,
but
hopefully
we
can
bring
everyone
else
up
to
speed
with
what
the
process
was.
That
was
went
through
to
become
the
neighborhood
leadership
alliance,
we're
going
to
talk
about
the
purpose
of
advisory
committees,
which
we
touched
on
a
little
bit
last
month
with
mayor
russell
and
councilor
perkins.
G
We're
also
going
to
talk
about
the
role
of
the
nla
relationship
to
the
neighborhood
associations.
The
upcoming
council
goals
assessment
will
have
an
opportunity
for
brainstorming
later
on
in
the
meeting
and
the
next
steps.
So
really
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
set
the
stage
for
that
brainstorming
a
little
bit
later
today.
G
G
You
understand
how
we're
all
going
to
play
a
role
in
this
council
assessment
or
sorry
neighborhood
association
assessment,
that's
in
council
rules
so
and
the
second
half
is
the
neighborhood
association,
recruitment
and
engagement
conversation
and
with
the
brainstorming
exercise.
I
really
want
to
gain
a
better
understanding
of
what
barriers
are
that
you
face
as
neighborhood
associations
and
leave
with
a
nice
list
of
ideas
to
break
down
into
action
items
that
the
nla,
the
city,
the
neighborhood
associations,
can
all
collaborate
on.
G
So,
let's
start
out
with
this
timeline-
and
I
had
actually
quite
fun
going
back
in
time
and
finding
some
of
the
original
code
language
with
when
the
neighborhood
association
system
was
established,
so
the
first
neighborhood
association
was
established
in
2001
that
was
southwest
bend
neighborhood
association,
I
included
the
list
of
the
other
neighborhood
associations,
along
with
their
establishment
dates,
so
that
you
can
see
that
neighborhood
associations
back
in
during
that
time
from
2001
to
2010.
They
were
centralized
within
the
city,
meaning
they
were
a
extension
of
a
department.
G
G
So
in
2011,
the
neighborhood
associations
spoke
with
city
leadership
and
they
decided
to
really
make
decentralize
the
neighborhood
association
system,
and
there
was
a
few
reasons
for
that
and
the
first
being
that
everything
within
the
city
and
operating
as
a
governing
body
would
be
subject
to
public
meetings,
law,
public
records
law,
meaning
all
of
the
neighborhood
associations
had
to
track
their
records,
make
sure
they
were
having
open
meetings
with
recorded
minutes.
You
guys
are
part
of
the
nla.
G
They
wanted
to
be
able
to
be
a
part
of
political
advocacy,
and
then
they
wanted
to
be
a
part
of
elections
and
make
sure
that
their
voices
were
known,
and
so
when
the
proposed
code
changed
to
decentralize,
the
neighborhood
associations
was
given
to
council.
There
were
really
not
a
lot
of
objections
to
that.
G
G
H
So
that's
just
a
little
bit
of
a
clarification
as
everybody,
I
think
knows:
nart
continues
to
meet
and
the
idea
we
talked
about
disbanding
art
and
we
decided
we
didn't
want
to
do
that
because
nart,
the
the
primary
goal
around
nart
is
to
create
operational
efficiencies
and
to
further
share
information.
I
think
we
all
know
here.
At
the
nla
level,
we
have
very
limited
time
and
the
the
focus
is
on
bigger
topics
and
we
don't
get
a
chance
to
talk
about
some
of
the
more
mundane
things
like
what
mailing
list.
H
G
Thanks
lisa
and
yeah,
and
so
everything
that
lisa
just
told
you
is
on
the
screen
in
front
of
you
in
august
of
2017,
the
city
started
meeting
with
art
and
art
helped
guide
the
what
became
the
mission
statement,
draft
policies
and
procedures
and
eventual
code,
amendments
that
established
the
nla,
and
so
this
is
where
I
wanted
to
bring
us
back
to
the
purpose
of
the
nla.
This
is
actually
the
code
section
that
I
took
from
our
bend
code.
G
So
there's
four
points
that
the
nla
really
needs
to
focus
on
and
what
we
try
to
focus
on
in
our
strategic
plan
and
everything
that
we
do
one
being
recommendations
that
we
give
to
council
based
on
a
review
of
plans
and
policies
and
programs.
Just
like
we
heard
about
suzanna's
shelter
code,
that's
going
to
be
our
job
to
participate
and
advise
council
on
what
we
think
about
those
code
changes.
G
We
did
have
hans
who
participated
in
those
code,
changes
as
an
nla
rep
through
august
and
now
we're
at
the
point
where
we're
making
that
transition.
So
our
next
opportunity
would
be
at
planning
commission
in
january,
for
an
nla
rep
to
sit
in
as
planning
commission
is
learning
about
these
changes
and
as
well
as
the
individual
opportunity
to
go,
take
that
survey
and
provide
your
input
early,
on
which
I
highly
suggest.
G
G
The
third
is
advisory
input
to
both
council
and
staff.
So
this
is
a
purpose
that
we
saw
come
to
fruition
in
the
neighborhood
street
safety
program,
as
we
guided
staff
as
they
created
the
program
that
eventually
brought
neighborhood
safety
projects
to
your
neighborhoods
and
then
the
last
one
here,
which
I
think
is
really
the
crux
of
the
nla,
and
I
don't
know,
if
crux
is
the
right
word,
but
we
we
are
focused
on
civic
engagement
and
education
of
neighborhood
association
constituents.
G
So
the
hope
is
that,
as
an
nla,
rep
you're
hearing
about
these
topics,
like
shelter
code
from
the
nla
and
you're,
bringing
that
information
back
to
your
neighborhood
association
boards
to
decide
what
you
want
to
do
with
it.
Is
it
something
you
want
to
distribute
in
your
newsletter?
Is
it
something
that
you
want
to
bring
up
at
a
general
membership
meeting?
Do
you
want
to
do
a
survey?
G
Okay,
so
you
have
seen
this
flow
chart
before
and
I
I
think
I
just
like
it,
because
it
shows
the
conduit
pretty
clearly
we
have
the
neighborhood
associations
who
are
giving
input
to
the
neighborhood
leadership
alliance.
I
wanted
to
put
this
into
action
for
you,
so
you
could
see
how
it
works.
So
the
example
that
I
want
to
use
is
the
last
year's
goal
to
do
a
land
use
education
program
and
complete
that
goal.
G
So
in
what
the
city
council
had
heard
from
neighborhood
associations
and
the
nla
was
that
neighbors
were
frustrated
when
developments
happened
in
their
neighborhood
and
they
had
no
idea
about
anything
that
had
to
do
with
those
projects.
They
didn't
know
about
the
public
meetings,
they
didn't
know
about
the
application
process
and
it
was
frustrating,
and
so
the
neighborhood
leadership
alliance
participated
in
council
input
session
like
we
did
this
year
to
say
this
is
something
that
we
want
to
focus
on
and
council
put
that
into
their
goals
for
the
1921
biennium.
G
So
that
became
our
project
and,
as
we
went
into
that
project,
what
we
saw
was
that
there
was
actually
some
code
changes
that
could
help
with
the
land
use
education
system.
So
at
one
of
the
quarterly
check-ins
that
the
nla
participates
in
with
council
and
other
committees,
they
said
we
really
think
there's
code
changes
that
could
make
this
process
simpler
for
the
community
and
council
said
okay,
you
can
continue
on
and
try
to
make
those
changes,
and
we
did.
G
G
That
means
that
the
neighborhood
associations
are
being
assessed
to
see
how.
Well
you
are
a
conduit
of
information
and
how
accessible
you
are
to
underrepresented
groups,
who
maybe
aren't
at
the
table
right
now.
But
so
are
we
so
as
city
communication
staff?
One
of
our
other
assessments
that
we're
working
on
is
an
assessment
for
the
city,
outreach
strategy
and
structure,
so
we're
going
to
be
looking
at
our
own
process
and
see
where
the
gaps
are
and
how
we
can
improve
as
well.
G
The
hope
is
that
we
can
do
that
with
the
neighborhood
association
assessment,
that
we
can
look
at
what
we're
currently
doing
and
define
where
some
of
the
barriers
are
to
accessibility
and
maybe
make
some
changes.
That
would
support
the
neighborhoods
in
being
this
conduit
for
rep,
for
member
feedback
and
for
community
participation.
G
So
all
of
those
big
words
to
say
it
put
your
put
your
taxpayer
hat
on,
and
I
think
I
had
a
conversation
with
summer
that
I
really
loved.
We
give
the
neighborhood
associations
about
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
a
year
to
spend
on
communications
and
outreach
to
members,
and
so
naturally
we
want
to
ask:
is
that
doing
us
a
due
diligence?
Are
we
being
representative
and
and
assess
the
situation,
so
I
mean
we
don't
give
any
other
community
partner
that
type
of
money.
So
how
are
we
using
the
neighborhoods?
G
So
the
assessment
itself.
What
is
that
going
to
look
like
I
wanted
to
lay
this
out
for
you,
so
the
communications
department
is
in
charge
of
this
goal
or
this
goal
strategy,
for
example.
So
it's
going
to
be
a
project
that
I
am
leading
as
your
liaison
and
our
goal
is
to
assess
the
neighborhood
association
system
as
a
conduit
of
information
and
representation
and
create
opportunities
to
engage
underserved
communities.
So
how
are
we
going
to
do
that?
G
The
first
way
that
we
can
or
sorry
that
we
start
this
type
of
process
is
to
do
information
gathering,
and
so
there
are
several
inputs
that
my
team
and
I
have
identified
that
we
think
will
go
into
this
assessment
so
in
front
of
you
are
those
outputs.
The
first
is
that
city
assessment
about
our
own
communication
strategy.
G
In
october
we
have,
or
later
in
october,
we
have
a
new
community
relations
manager.
That's
going
to
be
joining
the
city.
His
name
is
xavi
borah.
You
might
have
seen
him
around
town.
He
is
on
the
ben
parks
and
rec's
board,
so
he
just
went
through
a
big
campaign
not
too
long
ago.
So
if
that
sounds
familiar,
that's
probably
why
and
xavi's
going
to
be
doing.
Our
equity
and
partnerships
are
focusing
on
equity
and
partnerships
as
a
community
relations
manager.
G
Him
and
I
are
going
to
work
very
closely
together
on
these
assessments,
because
we
really
believe
that
they're
going
to
feed
into
each
other,
and
so
with
this,
I've
laid
out
where
I
think
the
nla
is
going
to
fit
now.
Zombie
hasn't
hasn't
started
yet,
and
this
is
his
assessment,
and
so
I'm
waiting
for
him
to
come
on
where
then
we
can
identify
where
the
nla
will
come
into
that
assessment,
but
looking
forward
to
seeing
how
those
two
work
together.
G
This
next
assessment
input
is
the
community
survey,
so
hans
and
lisa
advocated
for
some
funding
to
do
a
survey
that
was
focused
on
neighborhood
associations
and
neighborhood
issues,
and
we
were
able
to
get
ten
thousand
dollars
in
the
budget
to
do
this
survey
with
a
third-party
company
who
creates
surveys.
So
it
won't
be
statistically
valid.
G
We
don't
exactly
know
yet,
but
it
is
coming
so
you'll
help
us
come
up
with
those
questions
and
then
the
city
staff
are
also
another
input
so
talking
to
them.
Every
single
one
of
our
staff
almost
talks
to
the
neighborhood
association
constituents,
and
so
they
have
some
good
ideas
about
what
we
do
and
maybe
ways
that
we
can
support
you
better.
G
So
we
want
to
ask
them
questions
and
then
the
swot
assessment,
which
is
that
last
input
and
a
big
part
of
the
nla's
work
after
we've
collected
all
of
this
data,
putting
it
together
and
then
having
a
moderator
or
facilitator.
Take
us
back
to
our
roots,
which
is
going
through
that
swat
assessment.
For
those
of
you
that
aren't
familiar
with
what
a
swot
assessment
is
swat
stands
for
strengths,
weaknesses,
opportunities
and
threats.
G
G
It's
gonna
have
the
as
we
come
up
with
a
barriers
and
the
strategies
to
overcome
those
barriers.
We're
gonna
have
the
human
rights
and
equity
commission.
Look
at
it
their
eyes.
We're
gonna
have
council,
look
at
it
with
their
eyes
like
we
want.
We
really
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
hitting
the
mark
for
representation
and
what
they're
hoping.
A
G
We're
going
to
be
asking
these
questions
the
same
questions:
what
are
the
barriers
to
recruitment
and
engagement?
What
are
the
strategies
and
ideas
to
overcome
those
barriers
and
what
are
the
low-hanging
fruit
that
we
could
do
quickly?
So
the
data
that
we
collect
is
all
going
to
go
into
the
assessment,
some
strategies
and
ideas.
G
We
can
do
right
now
and
hopefully
do
some
quick
fixing
for
the
near
future
to
get
your
boards
back
up
to
par
and
then
some
will
take
more
resources
than
we
currently
have,
which
the
assessment
could
potentially
advocate
for,
but
I
think
before
we
go
into
brainstorming,
it's
useful.
When
we
talk
about
sorry,
are
you
able
to
see
my
what
the
nla
has
already
done?
Slide
no
you're
stuck
okay,
I'm
gonna
unshare.
When
did
it
stop.
F
M
G
All
right
and
it
stopped
let's
see
if
I
can
stop
sure,
oh
and
you're
on
it.
Okay,
thank
you.
I
think
that's
where
we
were
yeah,
that's
fine,
so
the
one
right
before
it.
Actually,
if
you
don't
mind,
so
I
think
it's
important
to
go
back
and
see
what
the
nla
has
already
tried
when
it
comes
to
recruitment
and
engagement
strategies
to
see
if
any
of
it
is
worth
revisiting.
G
G
So
these
accomplishments-
this
is
something
that
we
went
over
in.
I
think
may
talking
about
everything
that
nla
had
done.
We
developed
a
new
nla
web
page.
We
defined
a
new
layout
for
the
neighborhood
association
toolkit
like
the
board
toolkit
and
added
a
web
page
just
for
budget
tracking
to
make
that
easier
for
neighborhoods
we
did
a
survey
to
understand
how
neighborhoods
are
communicating
with
their
members
and
then
what
tools
are
being
utilized
to
do
that,
and
then
we
used
the
results
of
that
to
determine
where
else
we
needed
to
focus.
G
We
did
two
city-wide
mailing
lists
that
reached
renters
rather
than
just
property
owners,
and
then
you
can
advance,
and
then
we
purchased
a
survey
tool
that
the
nla
used
for
micro
units
in
that
neighborhood
associations
also
partnered
and
collaborated
with.
So
they
got
a
better
price
and
were
able
to
use
that
tool
as
well.
We
also
purchased
it
was
a
communications
manager
and
that
didn't
quite
get
off
the
ground.
We'll
talk
about
that
and
we
began
collecting
information
on
compliance
reports
that
we
had
never
done
before.
G
Like
do
you
have
a
facebook
page,
do
you
have
followers?
Those
simple
questions
and
then
developed
a
neighborhood
leader
orientation
for
the
boards,
which,
even
at
that
point
before
the
pandemic
hit,
we
were
seeing
board
turnover
next
slide.
So
what
did
we
try
and
didn't
quite
succeed,
and
these
are
things
that
I've
heard
several
times
over
from
neighborhoods
weren't.
We
coming
up
with
a
web
page
template
that
everyone
could
use.
We
did
look
at
that.
That
was
something
that
the
nla
communications
group
asked.
G
The
shared
social
media
manager.
We
did
purchase
hootsuite,
we
came
up
with
a
process,
we
identified
topics
and
hootsuite
for
those
of
you
who
don't
know
is
like
an
auto
poster.
I
like
to
call
it
for
facebook.
We
were
going
to
have
one
account
for
all
of
dnas
that
were
interested
and
and
auto
post
onto
their
pages
about
typical
city-wide
stuff,
like
what's
a
neighborhood
association
and
how's
it
different
from
my
hoa.
That
kind
of
thing
we
came
up
with
all
those
topics,
but
it
never
launched.
G
G
A
lot
of
information,
okay,
so
moreau
is
a
white
board.
It
is
something
that
I
learned
in
a
program
that
I
participated
in
last
year
with
bloomberg,
and
it's
just
interactive.
So
what
I'm
gonna
do
is
do
all
the
controlling
and
the
scribing.
For
this
there
are
prompts
for
to
get
your
brain
juices
flowing,
and
what
I
wanna
do
is
just
capture
all
of
our
thoughts
in
one
place,
and
then
we
can
end
it
on
that
note
with,
hopefully
just
some
excitement
about
what
we
could
do
in
the
next
few
months.
G
Yes,
so
really
focusing
on
recruitment
engagement.
This
is
what
I
had
asked
homework-wise
for
everybody
to
just
be
thinking
about
not
that
you
had
to
bring
anything
specific.
Can
you
see
my
my
whiteboard?
It's
very
small.
It
is
very
small
zoom
in
don't
worry,
okay,
so
the
goal
here
in
summer
outlined
it
well
recruit
and
engage
new
members
board
members.
G
Sorry
new
members
and
board
members
for
neighborhood
associations.
So
what
we're
going
to
do
is
we're
going
to
move
through
the
barriers,
the
successes
and
the
opportunities,
and
I
have
prompts
for
each
of
these.
So
first,
let's
get
into
the
barriers
and
morgan.
I
know
you
have
to
leave
soon,
and
so
would
you
like
to
start
us
off?
I
know
you
sent
in
a
nice
list.
N
D
G
H
M
I
think
it's
really
important
that
we,
the
neighbor
associations,
educate
the
people
that
come
into
the
board
and
know
who's
coming
in,
but
that
can
be
a
barrier,
but
you
want
to
get
people
all
perspectives
that
we
have
to
work
on.
How
to
do
that
and
my
thought
is
make
sure
you
have
an
application
or
some
sort
of
a
group
consensus.
M
G
B
G
B
B
So
what
for
me
to
create
a
list
and
I've
done
it.
I've
created
a
list
like
of
20
different
organizations
that
I
could
talk
to
about
potentially
being
on
the
board,
but
I'm
a
stranger
to
them.
They're
a
stranger
to
me.
They
have
no
motive
to
basically
work
with
me.
So
a
huge
barrier
is,
I
just
don't
have
the
knowledge
of
who
I
should
be
asking
to
diversify
my
board.
A
No,
I'm
good.
We've
had
that
problem
too
at
orchard
karen,
where
we
go
through
a
recruitment
process,
and
I
think
we
just
we're
trying
to
reach
out
to
underserved
populations
within
our
neighborhood
and
we're
just
having
a
really
hard
time
finding
the
people
we
need
to
talk
to
or
just
accessing
accessing
those
those
cultures.
I
don't
know
how
to
say
it,
but
hopefully
we
can
interpret
that.
K
If
somebody
was
willing
to
have
10
strangers
in
their
home
most
aren't.
I
look
for
our
old
bend
neighborhood
to
have
a
neighborhood
yard
sale
and
I
think
we
can
all
get
to
know
our
neighbors
better.
If
we
do
something
together
that
one
has
been
done
before
in
the
past,
you
know,
and
so
that's
more
the
solution
to
it,
but
anyway,
at
least
for
me,
I've
struggled
to
even
find
a
place
where
I
think
we
could
recruit
people
to
come,
but
I
can't
find
a
place
to
meet.
J
I
think
that
of
my
experience
with
people
in
my
neighborhood
is
and
and
just
friends,
I've
met
a
lot
of
people
in
my
neighborhood,
because
my
daughter
went
to
the
elementary
school
that
we
back
up
to,
and
so
I've
met
just
a
lot
of
parents
and
families
they're
too
busy.
They
they
are
working
and
have
children,
and
they
just
they
can't
get
involved
at
that
level.
J
It's
not
that
they're
not
interested.
Sometimes
it
comes
across
that
way,
but
you
know
it's
like
any
volunteer
organization.
There's
like
a
handful
of
people
that
that
actually
show
up
and
do
stuff,
and
it's
always
the
same
people
and
yeah.
It's
just
people
are
too
busy
to
get
involved
on
serving
on
a
board.
J
H
So
I
have
two
things
so:
first,
I've
got
some
neighbors
that
have
they've
submitted
public
comments,
they
have
written
letters,
they've
sent
emails
and
they
feel
like
the
city
is
not
listening
to
them.
They've
expressed
their
opinions
and
their,
they
don't
get
any
feedback
and
they
see
the
city
taking
alternate
approaches
to
solving
problems,
so
yeah
neighbors
feel
unheard
and
they
don't
feel
like
their
time
is
valued.
So
why
should
they
participate?
H
Second,
in
terms
of
diversity,
I
approached
a
person
of
color
to
try
to
diversify
and
he
politely
it
indicated
that
I
was
only
the
about
the
20th
entity
that
month
that
had
approached
him
to
join
a
sport.
So
how
are
we
going
to
win
when
we
are
maybe
vying
against
or
or
battling
against?
All
of
these
other
entities,
like
you
know,
and
some
of
them
are
wonderful,
united
way,
etc.
So
how
do
we
get
their
interest?.
O
Yeah,
I
would
just
say
I
see
that
there's
a
lack
of
clarity
around
the
what
neighborhood
associations
do
still,
even
though
you
have
you're
able
to
express
it
relatively
well
michaela.
I
think
there's
a
lack
of
passion
around
that
at
the
current
time.
I
think
that
when
there
was
less
change
in
bend,
including
code
with
change
that
people
felt
more
like
oh
yeah,
I
have
a
neighborhood.
I
belong
in
my
neighborhood.
I
want
to
see
those
people
I
want
to
do
things
with
those
people
I
want
to
find
out.
O
I
expect
that
will
change
some,
which
is,
I
think,
different
than
the
covid
and
being
able
to
meet
face
to
face.
I
don't
see
that
as
a
problem,
but
I
see
covet,
has
changed
people's
ideas
about
their
values
and
about
life
and
about
where
they
want
to
live
and
who
they
want
to
be
and
what
they
want
to
do
with
their
time.
A
G
L
L
So,
for
example,
and
I'll
give
you
just
a
quick
example:
murphy
road
closure.
We
got
notified,
it's
gonna,
be
your
law
closure.
We
tried
to
work
with
the
city
to
see
if
we
could
mitigate
that
for
the
benefit
of
the
residents
and
we
got
no
response
to
the
city.
They
just
wouldn't
talk
to
us
at
all.
So
that's
an
example
of
what
I
mean
by
we're
unheard.
L
E
E
The
city
is
deciding
what
to
tell
the
nla
and
and
right
now
I
you
know,
I'm
I'm
really
confused.
I
came
to
this
session
with
with
some
brainstorming.
This
is
not
brainstorming.
This
is
this
is
pointing
directions
and
if
we
follow
these
directions,
we're
going
to
end
up
exactly
where
the
city
wants
us
to
be.
E
D
D
E
What
you
just
said
is
you
and
michaela
have
met,
and
now
michaela
is,
has
gone
off
and
come
up
with
a
a
set
of
leading
questions,
and-
and
you
know
the
biggest,
the
biggest
thing
that
that
stands
in
our
way
is
that
we
are
all
one
of
over
70
volunteer
organizations
in
bend
that
are
looking
for
people
exactly
like.
We
want.
F
E
D
E
A
Right
exactly
so,
this
is
the
process
that
we're
going
through
to
get
input
from
the
nla,
so
the
city
is
not
participating
in
this
michaela
is
facilitating
a
conversation
where
we
as
nla
members,
are
bringing
barriers.
This
is
what
we're
facing
and
then,
as
a
group,
we're
going
to
brainstorm
ideas
for
conquering
those,
those
barriers,
she's
simply
facilitating
a
process.
A
G
M
I
know
that
bdab
took
three
years
to
kind
of
become
who
they
are.
I
think
we're
going
through
a
growing
curve,
so
it's
about
in
my
mind
it's
the
perception
of
of
who
we
think
we
are
and
what
who
we
think,
what
we
think
other
people
think
we
are
and
then
I
think
that
the
brochure
that
went
out
was
really
helpful
just
to
a
lot
of
the
neighbors,
but
I'm
still
hearing
from
staff
that
a
lot
of
people
don't
know
even
what
neighborhood
association
they're
in
so
there's.
M
D
A
We
want
to
hear
from
a
representative
population,
so
when
I
step
back
and
think
about
what
we're
really
doing
here
and
what
council
is
doing
as
a
taxpayer,
I'm
think
with
my
taxpayer
hat
right.
I'm
thinking,
okay,
this
whole
feedback,
loop
relationship
between
the
community
and
the
council.
It's
currently
not
working,
and
if
I
were
on
council,
I
would
completely
support
that
goal
that
council
defined
and
that's
exactly
what
we're
doing
here
is
adding
to
that
process.
A
I
believe
in
that
goal,
for
the
city
of
building
that
conduit
and
having
the
equitable
representation
within
that
conduit
and
that's
where
the
assessment
is
is
coming
in,
and
this
is
our
part
of
the
assessment
and
I'm
excited
about
it.
I'm
excited
that
we're
all
coming
together
and
and
digging
into
this,
because
this
is
the
work
it'll
get
us
there.
G
Thank
you
summer.
I
think
so
for
the
interest
of
time.
What
I'm
gonna
do
is
change
this,
so
that
we're
focusing
on
board
members
only
through
the
next
three
sections
and
that's
what
we
need
help
with
right
now
right.
So,
let's
just
continue
on.
I
see
karen
and
then
chris
and
then
we're
gonna
go
on
to
the
successes.
B
B
P
P
I
think,
there's
probably
a
perception
of
futility
to
involvement,
and
I
think
the
the
way
that
that's
resolved
is
for
the
city
to
show
more
intensity
about
its
belief
that
the
n,
a
and
the
nlas
are
important.
I
think
that's
the
only
way
to
persuade
people
who
are
disinclined
to
be
involved
because
they
don't
perceive
any
meaning
to
it.
P
F
L
L
G
L
A
Want
to
make
sure
I
understand
where
you're
coming
from
so
what
you're
saying
is
you
are,
if
you're
thinking
about
marketing,
to
get
board
members,
it's
it's.
What
do
we
have
to
offer?
Why
would
you
want
to
be
a
board
member
of
an
n
a
and
it's
coming
up
with
those
reasons
or
having
trouble
coming
up
with
those
reasons
is
that
am
I
understanding.
L
A
L
In
other
words,
I
use
the
example
of
the
murphy
road
closure.
You
know.
Had
the
city
been,
I
guess
more
forthcoming
for
lack
of
a
better
term
and
shared
us
with
their
schedule.
We
could
have
gone
over
it
and
you
know
maybe
make
some
modifications
which
could
have
mitigated
the
long
duration
of
the
closure,
but
the
city
didn't
give
us
the
that
opportunity
to
do
that,
and
that
was
a
really
missed
opportunity.
That
could
have
been
a
great
selling
point.
L
I
mean
if
we
could
say
we
could
say
to
the
southeast
bend
hey.
We
worked
with
the
city,
we
took
their
plan,
which
was
going
to
be
closed
for
a
year
and
we
whittled
it
down
to
seven
months
and
three
of
those
months.
There
was
a
one-way
street.
This
is
to
your
benefit,
that's
the
kind
of
benefits
that
I'm
talking
about
trying
to
sell.
L
G
You
all
right
we're
gonna
move
on
to
successes.
So
let's
start
here
so
we're
still
looking
at
board
members
what
has
worked
for
neighborhood
associations.
I
know
karen
had
asked
an
opportunity
to
share
best
practices
and
that
they
have
had.
I
know
dave
said
your
board
is
doing
great,
like
these
are
things
that
we
would
love
to
hear
about,
and
so
what
have
you
been
doing?
That's
working
for
you.
M
M
Facebook
has
been
very
helpful
for
us
and
we've
we're.
We
did
a
short
newsletter,
but
we
think
that
that
would
even
be
something
I
would
recommend
to.
Everybody
is
because
it's
like
it's
kind
of
like
people
are
getting.
You
know.
Technology
has
made
it
easier
for
people
to
find
out
about
us
and
if
you
can
get
into
that
circuit
into
that
group
of
people
that
are
interested,
we
have.
We
have
three.
We've
actually
had
several
new
volunteers,
it's
there's
been
a
wave
and
I
guess
it's.
M
We
just
got
lucky
with
with
where
we
we
reached
them
and
and
where
we
got
it
was
through
email.
It
was
you
know,
and-
and
I
think
that
and
our
annual
meetings-
so
I
think
that's
been
helpful,
but
it
really
helped
that
the
city
provided
the
budgets
for
us
to
get
mailers
out
too,
that
that
was
a
big,
a
big
part
of
it.
E
D
E
E
E
K
K
K
K
F
K
And
we
think
it's
going
to
happen
because
housing
needs
to
happen,
but
we
we'd
like
to
see
a
city
plan
for
the
development.
That's
going
to
happen,
south
of
arizona
and
karen
and
southern
crossing
does
too
so
we're
working
together
and
we're
meeting
with
the
developer
of
the
apartments
that
will
be
just
on
the
south
side
of
arizona
avenue
and
a
long
string
near
the
market's
choice.
K
H
So
I
don't
feel
like
I
have
an
issue
with
turnover.
My
newest
board
member
has
been
with
us
for
three
years,
and
so
I
have
basically
a
board
of
five
that
have
been
with
me
longer
than
three
years
and
in
most
cases
I
will,
I
will
say
I've
at
least
got
two
people
that
have
been
with
me
for
longer
than
eight
years.
H
H
It
is
basically
a
part-time
job
because
of
the
way
that
it's
structured
and
because
of
the
the
duties
in
all
of
the
development
and
posting
the
meetings
and
being
there
for
the
meetings
that
that's
a
really
big
time.
Commitment
managing
the
website.
That's
also
a
really
big
time
commitment,
so
it's
getting
people
that
can
step
up
to
the
plate
to
do
that
kind
of
work.
H
You
know,
I'm
sure
that
each
one
of
us
all
13
of
us
are
basically
creating
some
kind
of
news
blurb
to
go
out
about
this
feedback
thing
on
houselessness,
so
rather
than
having
one
blurb
that
was
created
by
one
person,
whether
it's
at
the
city
or
whatever,
to
save
us
that
time,
you
know
that's
what
we're
struggling
with
is
is
getting
that
information
a
little
bit
more
consistent
and
timely,
getting
it
out
and
then
gosh.
I
had
another
thought
around
something
that
jim
was
saying:
you're
gonna
have
to
come
back
to
me.
H
I
hate
to
say
it:
the
controversy
in
development,
whether
it
was
the
river's
edge
process
and
what's
going
on
there,
controversy
around
the
coid,
I'm
getting
a
lot
of
engagement
around
controversy
and
a
significant
amount
of
engagement
around
people
feeling
like
the
council,
doesn't
listen
to
them
and
is
focusing
on
a
significant
minority
population
as
as
much
as
we
need
to
do
something
about.
Houselessness
people
are
are
feeling
like.
The
council
doesn't
listen.
O
Yeah,
I
I
think
that
we've
had
successes
recently
with
well.
We
had
some
a
big
change
over
in
our
board
members,
and
now
I've
been
getting
all
of
the
announcements
for
the
land
use
stuff
and
getting
it
onto
facebook
and
getting
it
on
to
next
door.
Man
is
that
a
lot
of
work
and
but
then
we're
hearing
our
neighborhood
has
a
lot
more
involvement
now
in
that
land
use
process.
However,
what
everything
we
submit
goes
into
a
developer's
notebook
and
says:
yeah.
Look.
O
We
can
click
off
this
check
out
this
task
and
we
don't
seem
to
have
any
effect
on
what
actually
happens
in
the
end.
I
have
no
feedback
from
any
of
the
planners.
That
say,
we
heard
you
and
we
changed
something
most
of
our
input
back
to
the
city
is
also
well
that's
not
what's
in
code
short
term
rentals,
I
asked
michaela
to
set
up
something
on
short-term
rentals,
so
that
maybe
we
can
figure
out
what
we
could
say
and
on
several
other
issues,
sort
of
like
the
murphy
road,
one
that
was
brought
up.
O
O
I
was
saying
this
is
the
things
that's
worked,
but
this
is
the
limit
as
how
much
it's
worth.
So
that's
that's
what
I
was
trying
to
fit
it
into
into
that
box,
so
getting
better
landy
stuff
out,
but
if
it
was
in
a
more
social
media,
friendly
format,
that
would
make
my
job
a
lot
less.
So
we're
getting
a
lot
of
people
more
active
in
the
land
use
process,
but
the
input
we
put
we
provide
is
going
nowhere.
J
I
would
just
have
to
second
what
lisa
said:
the
controversy
in
in
our
neighborhood
affecting
coming
down
the
pipeline
with
the
coid
property
and
the
potential
loss
of
that
amazing
natural
resource
people
are
really
fired
up
and
we
have
two
new
board
members
because
of
the
concern
of
that
issue.
So
the
controversy
and
concern
about
losing
a
resource
in
a
in
a
neighborhood
is
tremendous
tremendous
for
recruiting
new
board
members.
J
A
Yeah,
I
love
that
that's
exactly
where
we're
headed
we're
doing
the
leg,
work
behind
that
and
then
and
then,
as
soon
as
as
soon
as
we
flip
the
switch
we're
going
to
be
talking
about.
Okay,
we've
gone
through
this
process,
we've
brainstormed
together,
we've
talked
about
barriers.
We
have
some
ideas
from
folks
that
are
that
are
being
more
successful.
How
do
we
bring
that
together
and
then
share
it
with
our
nas
to
really
build
things
up?
So
thank
you
for
that.
D
E
E
Landis
we've
got
a
secretary,
we've
got
a
treasurer,
we've
got
an
I.t
person,
we've
got
a
person,
that's
just
a
regular
member
and
we've
got
a
lady.
That's
standing
on
the
side,
asking
us
to
change
our
bylaws
so
that
we
can
have
her
come
in
as
as
a
full-time
secretary
kind
of
person,
so
yeah.
All
you
have
to
do
is
is
when
you,
when
you
recruit,
you
have
to
tell
people.
F
G
G
I
don't
know
if
you
call
them
ex
officio
or
what
you
want
to
say,
but
they
are
people
who
run
your
social
media,
update
your
web
page,
but
maybe
aren't
held
to
like
coming
to
every
board
meeting.
Maybe
you
reach
out
to
those
folks-
and
I
think
my
example
here
was
this
specifically
creating
positions
on
your
board
that
are
task
specific,
so
I.e.
G
G
All
right,
let's
move
to
opportunities,
so
we
have
about
the
13
minutes
left,
and
these
are
the
questions,
and
you
know
I'm
going
to
send
this
to
you,
so
you
can
look
at
it
if
you
continue
to
think
of
things
afterwards
like.
Please
do
send
them
to
me.
What
are
some
ways
that
you
want
the
city
or
the
nla
to
support
neighborhood
associations?
G
What
are
ways
you
want
the
nas
to
collaborate.
What
have
you
seen
work
elsewhere
in
other
cities?
Some
examples
that
I
have
here
are
city
funding
goes
to
participatory
funding.
Instead
of
board
operations.
That's
something
I
saw
at
the
neighborhoods
usa
conference
last
year
is
instead
of
funding
like
communications
and
board
operations
like
the
city
of
bend.
G
Does
some
cities
fund
programs
closer
to
likes
of
the
neighborhood
street
safety
program,
which
allows
people
to
focus
on
beautification
of
their
neighborhoods
or
a
project
to
come
together
that
everybody
cares
about
an
example
of
what
the
city
could
do
city
could
host
regular
trainings
for
na
boards?
Is
that
helpful?
Do
you
want
specific
trainings?
Do
you
want
general
trainings,
like
those
are
the
kind
of
things
that
maybe
we
could
help
with
an
example
for
the
nla?
Can
we
buckle
down
and
launch
hootsuite?
Can
we
get
it
out
there?
G
A
A
A
E
G
And
dave
when
I
say
like
when
it
has
working
with
lca
on
outreach,
I
think
that
that's
something
the
nla
could
do
in
partnership
with
this
new
community
relations
manager,
who's
already
working
with
the
lca,
so
that
there
is
one
point
of
contact.
You
know
those
are
the
kind
of
partnerships
and
that's
what
will
come
out
of
this
once
I
take
it
and
distill
it
all
down.
O
O
Q
Did
you
say
steve
I'll,
go
ahead
and
jump
in
here?
I
just
want
a
second,
the
high
school
and
college
kids.
You
know
as
an
ex
superintendent.
I
know
that's
very
valuable
and
there's
lots
of
opportunity
in
there
they're
willing
and
they
have
lots
of
energy.
Secondly,
I
love
the
idea
of
participatory
program.
Q
H
Lisa,
just
real
quick
first,
I
I
really
think
that
our
meeting
needs
to
be
extended
so
that
we
can
get
through
our
sharing
time.
I
think
that
that's
really
important
for
us
all.
Second,
on
the
topic
of
college
students-
and
I
I
wish
this
had
worked-
we
created
a
board
position
for
an
osu
student,
because
osu
is
in
our
neighborhood
and
unfortunately
that
fell
flat.
That
person
was
overly
busy
overly
committed.
H
So
I
don't
know
if
it
was
a
person
personality
issue
or
if
it
was
strictly
because
students
just
have
a
lot
on
their
plate.
I
I
would
love
to
see
that
succeed.
It
was
something
that
I
really
thought
could
take
off,
but
in
terms
of
what
I've
seen
work
elsewhere,
I
really
feel
like
we
need
to
do
a
little
bit
more
to
become
more
streamlined.
H
P
Yeah,
I
think,
to
sort
of
supplement
what
jim,
just
on
what
jim
just
said
is.
I
think
it
might
be
helpful
and
an
opportunity
if
the
city
could
find
ways
to
either
implicitly
or
directly
publicize
contributions
that
the
na
or
nla
has
made
and
what
sorts
of
changes
the
city
has
made
because
of
things
that
have
been
proposed
by
nas
or
nlas,
so
that
you
know
whether
it's
on
nextdoor
or
wherever,
it's
publicized
facebook.
A
A
A
A
G
The
best
way
is
that
we
have
a
rep
report
form
and
it
would
be
each
of
you
filling
that
out
and
sending
it
to
me
and
then
I
would
send
it
to
everyone,
but
I
don't
think
that's
the
best
way.
I
also
think
that
you
know
I
I'd
like
this
to
sit
with
you
guys
and
give
you
some
more
time
to
think
about
opportunities
and
successes.
I
know
I
got
a
lot
via
email
that
I
can
add
to
this.
O
I
we
had
a
september
meeting:
michaela
did
her,
what
is
it
n
a
and
how
does
it
work?
And
I
have
that
recording,
but
I
don't
know
how
to
send
it
or
post
it
anywhere.
Yet
sorry,
I'm
so
slow.
We
have
an
october
meeting
coming
up
with
stacy
witt
of
reach
and
that's
going
to
be
on
october.
20Th
I'll
send
that
information
and
anybody
who
wants
to
is
welcome
to
join
us.
J
J
Q
Yeah
thanks,
we
held
a
board
meeting
a
actually
was
the
last
nla
meeting
and
we
had
a
board
meeting
same
time
and
we
went
through
a
reconfiguration,
got
a
new
board
chair
a
vice
chair,
and
we
have
two
new
members.
We
have
spent
the
last
month
defining
and
reconfiguring
roles.
Our
previous
chair
left
us
in
very
good
standing
and
we
are
now
working
diligently
on
some
recruitment
efforts
in.
Q
Q
P
Yeah
thanks
I've
enjoyed
these
meetings.
This
is
great.
I
I
value
the
what
the
city
is
trying
to
do
here
and
I
think,
probably
we'll
get
a
good
result
in
the
end.
I
think,
as
far
as
aubry
butte
we've
not
had
a
general
meeting
since
the
last
nla
meeting,
we
did
have
a
working
group
meeting
at
the
end
of
last
month
that
addressed
our
general
meeting,
which
is
coming
up
on
november.
P
The
river's
edge
development
has
been
hugely
important
to
the
growth
of
our
membership,
and
we
want
to
hear
what
people
have
to
say.
So
we're
going
to
sort
of
follow
the
track
that
we
do
with
these
city
meetings
and
give
folks
two
minutes
to
to
stand
up
and
or
on
zoom
and
say
what
what
they
think
is
important
about.
What's
going
on
and
not
rebute
thanks.
H
The
developers
are
continuing
to
show
up
and
when
they
show
up
for
these
public
meetings,
they
are
not
required
to
have
traffic
reports.
They're
not
required
to
have
a
lot
of
the
details,
figured
out,
and
so
people
end
up
feeling
like
they're,
not
getting
a
lot
of
information
and
they're
not
being
heard,
and
they
feel
like.
The
developers
are
deliberately
doing
this.
They're
not
required
to
they're
not
required
to
show
up
to
a
public
meeting
with
the
traffic
reports
and
that's
causing
a
great
deal
of
frustration.
H
There's
also
a
good
deal
of
frustration
around
the
signage.
So,
even
though
we
made
some
adjustments
to
the
development
signage,
I'm
still
getting
a
lot
of
comments
around
these
signs
are
not
large
enough
and
they
can't
read
them
and
especially
if
they
are
hand
written.
Sometimes
you
can't
read
the
handwriting
and
you
certainly
can't
read
them
from
the
road
while
you're
in
the
car
going
past
them
and
you
you
pretty
much
have
to
pull
over.
If
you
see
a
sign
and
get
out
of
your
car
and
go
try
to
read
it.
H
So
there's
a
lot
of
frustration
around
that
I've
got
incredible.
Frustration
expressed
among
neighbors
that
their
concerns
that
are
raised
at
the
public
meetings
are
never
addressed.
You
know
they
just
go
into
a
black
hole
and
as
much
as
that
as
much
as
we
are
trying
to
help
people
understand
that
by
the
time
we
have
a
neighborhood
public
meeting,
it's
generally
too
late,
to
affect
any
kind
of
change,
we're
trying
to
manage
those
expectations
and
we're
trying
to
set
the
tone
for
those
meetings.
H
There's
a
incredible
amount
of
frustration
that
the
codes
exist,
the
way
that
they
do
and
people
don't
know
what
to
do
about
that
and
then.
Finally,
some
concerns
about
the
council
and
the
direction
around
homelessness.
There's
a
lot
of
frustration
that
the
council
is
not
directing
more
to
be
done
to
prevent
some
of
the
tense
cities
that
are
popping
up
on
right-of-ways
and
we're
not
doing
more
to
enforce
cleaning
some
of
that
up.
So
that's
what
we
have
in
our
neighborhood.
M
F
M
P
M
We
we've
got
a
new
person,
who's
working
on
parks
and
rec.
We
brought
him
in
as
a
committee's
person
and
we
think
he's
great.
So
we're
probably
going
to
add
him
on
as
a
board
member
shortly
and
that's
one
of
the
ways
we
do
it.
We
bring
people
out
as
committee
members
and
he's
he's
been
really
good
and
our
board
meetings
are
the
third
monday
of
the
month.
M
So
it's
next
week
we
just
had
august
summer
meeting
they've
had
some
good
and
bad
reports,
because
the
parks
and
rec
person
had
some
problems
technically,
but
we
did
get
a
lot
of
new
members
out
of
that.
So
we're
looking
at
february
for
our
annual
meeting
and
we
are
there's
a
by
the
way
I
posted
yesterday
on
facebook,
the
city's
request
for
input.
M
So
far,
we've
got
95
responses
and
one
person
is
interested
in
what
our
position
statement
is
going
to
be
and
right
now
our
board
position
is
to
provide
feedback
to
us,
we'll
provide
it
to
the
city.
If
we
think
there's
a
majority
of
people
that
feel
the
same
way,
then
we
will
try
to
write
something
up.
That
will
involve
the
neighborhood
as
a
general,
you
know
as
a
total,
but
we
have
a
lot
of
different
people
in
our
neighborhood
that
have
different
perspectives
on
homelessness
and
houselessness.
M
So
our
goal
is
to
be
inclusive
and
and
be
you
know
what
we
say
is
educate
and
inform,
and
I
will
finish
by
saying
that
one
of
our
board
members,
the
civil
engineer,
is
on
the
go
bond
committee-
is
bringing
up
a
lot,
there's
a
lot
of
input
now
that
the
city's
looking
for
that.
So
we're
trying
to
track
that
as
well
as
nssp,
and
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that
the
city
is
I'm
following
up
what
we
consider
to
be
our
priorities.
M
M
M
There
was
a
recent
group
that
got
together
and
did
a
bike
sort
of
tour
of
the
downtown
area,
because
they're
concerned
about
the
bike
crashes,
you
might
have
seen
that
so
there's
a
lot
of
effort,
that's
being
put
into
the
community
right
now
and
bicycle
safety
safety
in
you
know
in
terms
of
how
to
work
with
traffic
and
how
to
how
to
be
more
visible.
So
I
think
that's
those
are
our
biggest
issues
and
I
think
that's
really
it
for
now.
Thank
you.
K
We
have
about
seven
in
attendance
at
our
board
meeting
and
probably
two
that
are
board
members
that
don't
show
so
we
don't
really
count
them.
Things
are
going
well,
though,
our
board
is
a
bunch
of
old
white
guys
and
and
it's
a
little
bit
co-ed
but
they're
all
well
respected
and
out
there
in
the
neighborhood
meeting
people
and
some
of
them
design
and
work
with
the
city,
so
we're
favored
to
have
a
relatively
good
input
into
the
city
personnel,
we're
favored
to
have
a
board
liaison
that
attends
our
meetings.
K
L
We
do
have
four
vacancies
on
the
board,
we're
also
a
bunch
of
old
white
guys
and
we
recently
lost
the
co-ed
contingent
of
our
board,
not
through
anything
we
did,
but
they
just
felt
they
weren't
contributing-
and
I
don't
have
anything
else
to
report,
because
the
last
10
days
I've
been
camping
in
an
internet
desert
with
my
prime
and
backup
communication
system.
Failing
so
I
haven't
been
able
to
talk
to
anybody
until
today,
so
it's
been
kind
of
rough,
maybe
it'll
be
better
next
month,
thanks.
A
F
A
B
But
so
any
help
on
the
nsp
projects
would
be
appreciated.
The
other
we
continue
to
work
with
other
neighborhood
associations.
I
believe
strongly
in
collaboration,
so
we're
working
with
old
bend,
we're
having
our
joint
board
meeting
on
october
21st.
The
two
boards
are
meeting
a
developer
is
presenting
to
us
on
their
proposed
development.
They
did
reach
out
to
us.
B
They
want
to
do
community
outreach,
so
both
old
ben
and
southern
crossing
are
really
excited
that
we're,
given
this
opportunity
we're
working
with
southwest
bend
on
the
coid
property
and
anyway,
hopefully
we'll
start
launch
a
community
campaign
this
week
and
nas
will
not
be
as
heavily
involved
as
they
have
been.
So
that's
pretty
much.
It.
A
A
My
only
hesitation
with
our
recruiting
is
wanting
to
work
in
some
some
advice
from
the
equity
person
when
they
get
to
the
city,
so
I'm
excited
for
that
other
than
that.
We've
been
talking
about
what
our
neighbors
feel
and
what
we're
hearing
from
our
neighbors
about
the
houseless
issue
and
we'll
be
putting
together
some
public
comment
for
that.
That's
all!
That's
pretty
much
all
that
we're
focused
on
right
now.
