Transportation Bond and Library Bond Info - Vote 2020!
Background on the Transportation Bond
While it is not the place of the neighborhood associations to take a position on local ballot measures, it is our role to keep you informed about matters involving city government. Toward that end, here is a brief summary of the transportation bond measure, as well as links to resources with additional information. You will also find a chart showing the tax impact for different assessed values of homes.
GO Transportation Bond
The bond measure on the ballot authorizes the City to issue general obligation (GO) bonds up to $190,000,000 for projects to reduce congestion and improve citywide traffic flow, east-west connections, and neighborhood safety. The City Council selected projects following recommendations from a two-year public advisory committee process.
For a map and explanation of the projects covered by the bond measure, click here. To see the full Transportation System Plan, click here. Information on the funding strategy begins on page 125.
Bonds are payable from property taxes, with the first increase in taxes resulting from this measure appearing on tax bills in 2022. Bonds will be issued over time as projects come online, so tax payments will increase over the first ten years and then begin to decrease as the principal is paid down. The City estimates that the average increase over the life of the bonds will be about $0.47 per $1,000 of assessed value.
Estimated impact on property taxes
The chart below uses information from a City of Bend worksheet to illustrate the additional taxes due at various levels of assessed value. The calculations assume a 3% increase in assessed value each year. They also assume that new construction will add to the tax base over time.
Note that taxes are calculated on the Assessed Value of your property, not on the Real Market Value. To find your assessed value, go to DIAL and enter your property address in the search field. Look for the assessed and real market values in the lower right portion of the Summary page.
This table is for illustrative purposes only. Final taxes depend on multiple variables and cannot be fully anticipated in this illustration. If you are interested in an interactive worksheet where you can input your assessed value and see the detail for the taxes each year, as well as a graph, click here.

Re-opening Bend during COVID
On Thursday, May 21 CWNA hosted Mayor Sally Russell, City Councilor Chris Piper and City Manager Eric King for a conversation about the City’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic and plans for reopening Bend. The session was recorded, and you can listen/view here.
CWNA Recommends Street Safety Projects
Century West Neighborhood Association submitted a total of 12 applications for the Neighborhood Street Safety Program (NSSP), which has allocated $800,000 to complete improvements suggested by citizens.
We are now entering the third phase of the program where the Neighborhood Leadership Alliance (NLA) – a committee formed from all the City’s neighborhood associations – ranks all the recommended projects. The NLA will begin tackling the ranking at their December 10th meeting.
The next step in the NSSP is for a City staff review to be completed by December 5th. Then, the NLA will complete its recommendations by January 31st, 2020.
If you have suggestions that were not included in the NSSP recommendations, no matter how big or small, “eligible” or not, consider submitting a Service Request with the City of Bend. In many cases, your ideas can lead to projects being completed! But, even when the idea doesn’t immediately translate to a project, it’s still important to get it on the record via this process. Let us know if you submit a request and we can help!
Read on if you want more details on the process:
First, citizens submitted their suggestions for street safety projects over several weeks. Then, the 13 neighborhood associations reviewed applications and each picked their top two. The City received 362 applications citywide. If a project was “not eligible” it may still be eligible for other funding sources, like the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
The Century West Neighborhood Association board built a modified application for its top recommendation: Safety on Century Drive. This has been the number #1 topic of street safety in CWNA for close to 15 years, and with our growth and the popularity of recreational opportunities, traffic speeds continue to be an issue through the area considered part of CWNA. While CWNA has had some success with efforts to calm traffic, we have been hampered by city and state regulations.
The City allowed NAs to repackage citizen suggestions – to clarify scope or combine multiple suggestions. In this case, the board combined several suggestions received via the NSSP and public comment. Additionally, CWNA board and interested parties attended a site visit with City of Bend Engineering Department to look closer at the scope of our request on October 30th.
CWNA continues to watch for ways to increase connectivity and make walking a safer, more comfortable, and more attractive option for getting around the neighborhood.
Illegal Fireworks-2020
The Illegal Fireworks Task Force is discussing this year’s patrols and strategy for responding to illegal fireworks. This year the Bend Police Department (PD) is trying an educational approach. They have implemented a new reporting email, fireworks@bendoregon.gov where NA members can submit information on problem residences. Bend PD plans to formally contact addresses that are shared. This will be an educational effort, no criminal enforcement will occur.
You may report the violation directly, or if you wish to remain anonymous, you may report the information to CWNA. The information needed when submitting a report is, 1) The offender’s specific street address, 2) The offenders name (if known), 3) Estimated date(s) of use (e.g. mid-June to mid-July, July 4th only…etc.), and 4)Type of illegal fireworks (e.g. aerial rockets, M80, firecrackers…etc.).
CWNA has purchased 25 Fireworks Safety Signs, and plans to place them in our neighborhoods in June, and retrieve them following the 4th of July. If you would like one of the signs to display on your property, please contact us by email. - the signs will be provided to CWNA residents "free" upon request until all the signs have been distributed. Please respect your HOA's rules with regard to sign placement.
The task force will continue to discuss options for 2021. If you are interested in serving as a volunteer for this topic, please reach out to us by email centurywestneighborhood@gmail.com.

LED STREET LIGHT CONVERSION
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Starting this July the City of Bend is converting over 2,000 existing public street lights to 3,000
Kelvin energy efficient, light-emitting diode (LED) fixtures to reduce the City’s energy costs,
maintenance costs and carbon emissions. The project is one of several Strategic Energy
Management projects happening in 2019-2021 to help achieve the City Council Climate Action
Goals.
The project replaces existing High Pressure Sodium street light fixtures on public streets with
new LED fixtures. The project does not add new or remove old street light poles, it is just
updating the existing fixtures. Work is being coordinated through Ameresco, the City’s Energy
Management contractor, and the fixtures will be installed by their subcontractors NW Edison
and Christensen Electric.
PROJECT SCHEDULE
The LED conversion project is scheduled from July to December 2019. Work activity will take
place during weekdays and may include weekends. Work hours will generally be 7 a.m. to 7
p.m., targeting evening hours for arterial and collector streets.
Multiple crews will be working to complete an estimated 30 – 40 fixture conversions per day,
taking 20 to 30 minutes per light. Work will be performed in a moving operation that may
require temporary traffic lane restrictions. While crews are working, the sidewalk, bike lane, or
curbside parking spaces located adjacent to the work site will be temporarily restricted and in
limited cases lane closures may occur. The crews do not typically need to turn off the power to
perform the work.
COST SAVINGS
Installation of LED fixtures reduce street light energy consumption measured in watts by more
than 50 percent since it takes less energy to provide a similar amount of brightness (or
lumens). The City estimates it will achieve a total energy savings of nearly one-million kilowatt-
hours annually and reduce carbon emissions by 619 tons per year. Additionally, maintenance
costs are reduced because LED fixtures do not have disposable components requiring regular
replacement like existing high pressure sodium bulbs.
PROJECT BACKGROUND
The streetlight conversion is one of the first City Strategic Energy Management projects
because of the well demonstrated energy savings of LED over high pressure sodium lights. In
addition to energy savings, converting to LED lights provides improved illumination enhancing
safety and increased reliability and life cycle requiring far less maintenance.
The City and Ameresco worked with area electric utilities to develop a new City standard for
full-cutoff, 3,000 Kelvin correlate color temperature (CCT) LED fixtures as part of this project. A
light bulb’s CCT (rated from 1,000 to 10,000 Kelvin) helps classify the look of the light
produced. The 3,000 Kelvin CCT selected by the City provides energy savings, minimizes light
pollution, and improves lighting quality for street safety over the existing high pressure sodium
lights. Although they emit over fifty percent less light, the new LED fixtures use a uniformly
dispersed warm white color and may appear brighter compared to the existing yellow,
unevenly dispersed high pressure sodium lights.
STAY INFORMED
For more information about the City’s LED Street Light Conversion project, visit the project
website and check out the project’s Frequently Asked Questions. If you have questions or
comments, please email the project at LEDStreetlights@bendoregon.gov or call contact the

Do you know about The Energy Challenge: Free LED Light Bulb Program?
What?: The Energy Trust people come to your house and replace up to 16 old incandescent lights for energy efficient LED light bulbs -- all for Free!
Why?: Our LED bulbs, which look just like regular light bulbs, are 80% more energy efficient than incandescent light bulbs. Unlike the swirly CFL bulb (which is also energy efficient), they are dimmable, the turn on to full brightness right away, they last for up to 23 years, and they don't contain mercury. Plus, they are free!
Why Else?: By saving energy, you are helping your community. The less energy each home uses, the less likely power companies are to need to build more power plants! So far, we have installed light bulbs in over 3,500 Central Oregon homes. That's a lot of energy savings!
When?: We have many time slots available. You can sign up online, or you can contact Ani and if you don't see a time that works for you.
Also, It's free! The bulbs, the installation. Really, truly free. Do you qualify? Check it out here.
