Neighborhood Planning Assembly

Background

The Neighborhood Planning Assembly engages neighbors on issues and concerns that directly affect them, help craft solutions to mutual problems, and build a sense of pride and personal responsibility for their neighborhoods. The program focuses on increasing neighborhood representation of underrepresented communities.  Each NPA serves as an independent assembly that promotes community-based efforts for neighborhood improvement.  Any resident, business owner, employee, property owner or member of an existing neighborhood can join an NPA.

NPAs encourage residents to become actively engaged in their local government by providing structured feedback and recommendations to City staff and elected officials. NPAs utilize steering committees to assist in advancing various interests that shape and raise attention to community issues, needs, programs and projects. Example committees include:

• Special Events Committees to celebrate special occassions, events, and holidays.
• Code Enforcement Committees to discuss safety concerns and ways to improve the neighborhoods overall aesthetics.
• Beautification Committees to discuss beauty-enhancing projects such as gardens or flowerbeds.
• Welcome Committees for new residents and businesses.
