This message is to announce a regular DNA Member and Board Meeting.

DNA Meeting Agenda

This is a Virtual, Zoom meeting.  Zoom invitation appears at the end of this agenda. DNA Board members will have video and audio, but other attendees will not. Questions and comments can be raised via “chat” which will be answered as time allows.

DNA Objective: improve the livability and character of Portland’s Downtown Neighborhood.

DNA Goal: reach out, listen, and strive to represent the opinions and interests of the DNA residents, students, and employees.

DNA Standards of conduct: open, dignified, respectful, civil; separating business from personal; everyone will be heard, and their thoughts considered.

Executive Session will be at 5:00 pm due to scheduling issues. 
In order to facilitate board review and approval of attorney items this evening, the executive session discussion is being rescheduled to begin at 5:00 pm rather than at the end of the DNA Member and Board meeting. Board members will meet in a separate, earlier Zoom session.

• The board will enter an executive session to discuss the DNA’s instructions to an attorney.
• Board of Directors executive session call to order.
• Executive session adjourned.

Members of the press who are interested may call 503-490-3907 to receive the Zoom link to this session. After completing this executive session, the board will enter the DNA Member and Board meeting at 6:00 pm using the Zoom link posted in the earlier email announcement.
