Neighborhood District Roundtable Survey
If you want Bend City Council and the City’s senior staff to hear your concerns, now is most likely the best opportunity you will have for quite some time. The City has agreed to meet with the people of SW Bend on Monday October 12 from 5:30-7:30 PM on the OSU Campus.
Please take the survey below to help shape that discussion. SCNA would ideally like all of our neighbors to weigh in, so share this with other adults in your household and your neighbors who might not be on our e-mail list. The survey closes September 22.
This Roundtable will be similar to the one held in SE Bend last March. Participants and the City felt that was a highly useful meeting. So please take the survey and mark your calendar.
