Neighborhood Association Roundtable (NART) Vision/Mission/Group Agreements

9/24/2017

Comments

 

 
Vision Statement: NART is a catalyst for encouraging an ongoing sense of civic responsibility.
The Mission of NART is to provide a forum and to encourage a collaborative process where the Neighborhood Associations (NAs) can discuss and act upon core issues which impact the livability of Bend.
​
This is accomplished by:
  1. Establishing a proactive and outcome-oriented communication between the City of Bend and NART. 
  2. Adopting positions on Core Issues, as agreed upon, in order to provide increased emphasis to City Council, City Staff and the community of Bend.
 

Group Agreements:
  1. Meeting dates and times will be decided as needed at an accessible location.
  2. The facilitator and note taker roles will rotate among the NAs. The current assignment is for three (3) months.
  3. Meeting notes will be distributed and will include a record of attendance plus a synopsis of discussions to include the pros and cons of any decisions or recommendations.
  4. Each NA should be represented by a Board member or designee. Each NA will have one (1) vote.
  5. Communication between the City and the NAs may be through various methods to include NA representation on City-sanctioned committees. Those NA committee representatives may share with other NAs information learned from the City-sanctioned committee meetings.
  6. Issues that may most effectively be presented to the City Staff and/or the City Council by a number of NAs will adhere to the following process:
 
  1. Advocates present the pros and cons of the position(s).
  2. A vote will be taken by the NA representatives present at the meeting.
  3. If passed by a majority, the position will include the names of NAs supporting and those dissenting.
 
  1. Issues settled at a NART meeting will not be binding on any of the NAs without the notification and acceptance of the individual NA Boards.

​Adopted: January 2016
