The annual meeting of the Larkspur Neighborhood is scheduled for November 2 at 6:30 PM at the Bend Senior Center, on Reed Market Road.

Eric King, the Bend City Manager, will give a "state of the city" presentation. We are also expecting to have Casey Roats, the current Mayor, also as a speaker.

There will be a summary of land use issues in the neighborhood.

The agenda for the meeting is still being refined, so check back for updates.

There will also be election of new board members. We are presently seeking neighbors who are interested in serving on the board. The term is typically two years; the amount of time commitment is minimal, with board meetings once a month. If you think you might be interested - or for more information - contact us at LarkspurNA@gmail.com

The City of Bend is seeking people to serve on a committee to evaluate options for changing the City Charter. The plan is to look into options for electing City Council representatives, including perhaps direct election of the mayor and/or a ward system for City Council seats. They are seeking up to 11 people and hope for broad representation from across the city. The committee is expected to meet periodically for around three months.  

It would be great to have some East side representation! The City is taking applications through July 10. If you think you might be interested, more info is available at the City website:
