OBNA needs to get Parks & Rec on the agenda for talking about neighborhood projects.

Go Bond: Chris Piper gave an update, the bond is moving forward for $190M on the May ballot. There are several projects involved. There was talk about the parkway access as well as Colorado Ave., which the City of Bend took over years ago.

Neighborhood yard sale: Drake Park Historic district is moving yard sale to June.

Bend BCD: Several conversations around the Bend Central District plan- including what will happen if City Hall moves there. Moey N. is very involved, maybe we should have her come to present?
