We are very excited to invite everyone to our next Membership Meeting on Tuesday October 2 at 6 PM at the Unitarian Universalist Church on 61980 Skyline Ranch Road! Please plan to come!
Our agenda will be focused on Public Safety and we will have Sergeant Mike Landholt from the Bend Police along with city staff working in Transportation Planning and Streets and Operations. Mayor Roats, Councilor Moseley, and City Manager Eric King are also expected to attend. We should have time for you to ask a lot of good questions!
Here is the agenda for the meeting:
6 PM Start, Introductions, Announcement of Board Elections, Interim Chair Sandy Coats
6:10 PM Transportation Safety Plan presentation by City Staff (to lay out specifically what the City wants to hear from residents early next year), with Q&A
6:40 PM Streets & Operations Information, Janet Hruby, Traffic Project Engineer, with Q&A
7:00 PM Public Safety, Sergeant Mike Landolt, Bend Police, with Q&A
7:30 PM Final call for ballots, Interim Chair Sandy Coats
7:32 PM General Q&A of Eric King, Casey Roats, Bill Moseley (city folks may leave after this)
7:47 PM Sandy Coats and Bill Bernardy, brief Bylaws change review and vote
7:55 PM Announcement of new officers (or if no one running, current officers continuing), Patrick Grogan interim treasurer
8:00 PM Close
(Before the meeting starts, please pick up your board ballots and, if you are not yet a member, your membership forms. Only members may vote. The written Ballots will be collected at 7:30 PM in the meeting.)
Please join the board! You can nominate yourself or others to serve on the Board and we would love to have you! If approved in the bylaws change, the Board meets at least quarterly, and holds at least one Membership/Annual meeting each year. Board members typically can expect to put in 3-4 hours per month on behalf of the Neighborhood Association. We really could use your help on this!!
If you are willing to join our Board, please email a three-or-so sentence biography by 9/29/18 AS WELL AS YOUR PHONE NUMBER IN CASE OF CLARIFYING QUESTIONS to bendsummitwest@gmail.com, and indicate if you are running at large or for one of these positions:
We will publish the candidates' submitted bios on this website as we receive them for each candidate, organized by position. (We will not publish your phone numbers; those are just in case we have questions.) Note: Our bylaws also permit you to be nominated during the general meeting on 10/2 with the support of four others. We will then add you as a write-in candidate. But it would be helpful for your neighbors if you could please submit your candidacy by 9/29. Thanks!
Also: Our current bylaws call for board members to serve for two-year terms, but before the election we are going to ask the membership to approve a change in our bylaws to specify only one-year terms, as we have received feedback that two-year terms seem arduous. CLICK HERE TO SEE THE PROPOSED BYLAWS ADJUSTMENTS VIA REDLINE FROM THE ORIGINALS.
We will provide written ballots at the 10/2 meeting and we will be very excited to welcome new Board members!
FYI, our bylaws limit us to nine Board members but if you are interested in helping in other ways, please let us know!
And thank you again to everyone who attended our first membership meeting on Thursday May 24, 2018 at Summit High School! We were so happy to see all the folks who care about our neighborhood and want to be part of our liaison organization with the City. Please scroll down for the slides presented by City Manager Eric King at the May 24 meeting.
Note: We are not an HOA, don't enforce neighborhood rules, and are entirely FREE!
