NEXT NAC MEETING IN OCTOBER AT CONESTOGA MIDDLE SCHOOL

The next meeting of the Greenway NAC will be on October 16, 2008 at 7:00 PM. We will meet in the Library at Conestoga Middle School. We will have several important presentations. City of Beaverton Mayor Rob Drake will give us his vision for the city as well as answer any questions you may want to ask him. I will also ask the mayor to give a short update on the potential design changes for the 125th Avenue extension. Beaverton City Staff will give us a presentation on the Beaverton Urban Renewal Charter Amendment that will be on the November ballot. There will also be presentations on the $374 million dollar PCC bond measure and the $100 million dollar Tualatin Hills Park and Recreation District Bond Measure. This meeting will also be our annual election meeting. There will not be a separate mailing for the October meeting agenda as there will be a postal patron postcard sent to all addresses in the NAC. I will have agendas available at the meeting. The agenda will also be posted on the NAC Website (http://greenwaynac.homestead.com) several weeks before the meeting.
