Join us for our October General Meeting

October 8, 6:30-8:30PM, First United Methodist Church,1376 Olive St.

Snacks are back! Bring something to share – non-messy finger food is best.

These meetings are intended to be a place for the respectful and civil exchange of ideas and information.  We ask all who attend to honor this ethic by keeping questions and comments civil, concise and without commentary of a personal nature. In practice, this means addressing the topic, not the presenter or the organization, and being courteous to our guests.

On the agenda:

  • Charter Amendment Vote (up or down vote of submitted text)
  • Corey Buller, Manager of Lane Events Center Updates + Q&A
  • Jameson Auten, CEO and Lane Transit District
  • November 2024 Ballot Measures Overview and Discussion

Charter Amendment 
All neighborhood associations have charters that briefly lay out criteria for the scope and responsibilities of a neighborhood association. Charters must be approved by the Eugene City Council. The Office of Equity and Community Engagement (OECE), who oversees neighborhood associations and is a conduit for funding and support, mandated in spring 2024 that all neighborhood association charters must be amended to include an equity statement, which must be drafted and approved no later than October 2024. To meet the deadline, we are initiating the process as described in the JWN bylaws.

  • Notification via mail to all JWN residents and businesses (completed).
  • Public discussion of proposed changes (September General Meeting – completed).
  • Vote on the proposed changes (October General Meeting).

Based on a template provided by OECE, the JWN executive board has drafted the following equity statement for inclusion in our charter:

Jefferson Westside Neighbors is committed to fostering an equitable and welcoming neighborhood in which all may freely live, participate, and thrive.
