BEND METRO PARK AND RECREATION DISTRICT
Measure No. 9-19, Continued
ARGUMENT IN FAVOR
Bend Metro Parks and Recreation District(BMPRD)plays an
important role. It provides us all with many opportunities.En-
joying open spaces and learning programs in a clean,safe set-
ting is vital.Whether learning a new hobby, taking part in a
multitude of sports and youth programs,or enjoying the Bend
Senior Center, BMPRD serves our entire community well.
Current Problems:
• Bend city limits have grown rapidly since BMPRD was cre-
ated in 1974.
• Park district has not expanded.
• The BMPRD has a contract with the City of Bend to provide
parks and recreational options to city residents.
• People are often confused by in-district and out-of district
pricing.
Annexation Benefits:
• Expanding the BMPRD border will reduce confusion making
programs available to all City of Bend residents.
• Current District tax payers will not see an increase in taxes,
yet still enjoy the same level of benefits.
• Current out-of-District residents can enjoy in-district fees.
• Expanding the boundary is important. BMPRD is the only
public recreation service provider for the City of Bend resi-
dents.
• The new border will create increased tax revenue for the dis-
trict.This will allow BMPRD to provide a greater level of ser-
vice to those who live in the proposed annexation area.
• Potential to create new parks.
Your Bend Metro Park and Recreation District is recognized as
one of the premier Districts in the Pacific Northwest.Passage
of this annexation will allow the District to meet increased de-
mand for services. It will maintain high quality programs and
parks we have enjoyed for many years.

In recent years,the Redmond School District is fortunate to have
had strong and capable leadership at the school board and ad-
ministrative levels.The District has experienced rising test scores,
decreased drop out rates,and statewide recognition for many of
its teachers and administrators—all during a period of declining
funding and rapid student population growth in our existing schools.
I would be honored to serve as a school board member and to
help continue the momentum of our many successes.
I have been a member of the Redmond community for almost
nine years and both of my children are currently in Redmond High
School.Throughout the years, my wife and I have been actively
involved in our schools. In addition, I have promoted the active
involvement of our local hospital in sponsoring many activities within
our schools.I simply believe that successful schools must engage
not only parents,but also the community.I encourage public-pri-
vate partnerships as a means of improving school outcomes. I
support active advocacy with our legislators in Salem as a means
of ensuring our schools are properly funded.
I will bring the following skills if elected:
• Demonstrated experience in the public sector
• Commitment to representing the majority view of our citizenry
• Understanding of parental needs when it comes to our children
and schools
• Absolute dedication to our children to ensure they are effec-
tively educated by the time they graduate from high school

I am committed to public service.When my children were in

have redirected my efforts toward a broader policy-making role.

The Sisters School Board provides a good fit with my back-
ground.Since my graduation from OSU 36 years ago,I have been
continually involved in education.My professional responsibilities
as a Professor of Public Administration focus on teaching public
finance and public policy analysis.
Dr.Smith provides independent judgement on school policy gues-

I have worked hard on the Sisters School Board to find compro-

of our children is my number one priority.
One final note:
Sisters has the best test scores in the state.We are about to
complete the new high school on-budget for an early opening.I
certainly can't claim credit for these successes,but you can rest
assured that I'd be held responsible,if these things weren't true!

When discussions began on creating a water district in the core
area of LaPine,I was immediately interested.I saw it as a positive
thing for LaPine,and followed the progression of events leading
up to the formation of the district.I also attended all meetings after
district formation and feel it was a privilege to be appointed to the
board in 1998,and elected to a full term in 1999.1 have served as
board secretary/treasurer during each year of membership.
The system is now being installed,and nearing completion.As a
current board member with a complete background on issues af-
fecting the district,who also has vision for the future, I feel it is
important to maintain continuity,so I am asking for your vote.
