As
many of you know, the Office of Neighborhood Coordination (ONC) is in the
middle of the Neighborhood Engagement Process (NEP). This process is in
place to gather information from community stakeholders that will help
shape the amendments to the Neighborhood Association Recognition Ordinance
(NARO). The NEP process includes the hiring of not only the independent
contractor Social Innovations Strategy Group (SISGroup), but also
facilitators employed by SISGroup to assist. These facilitators are: Dr.
Rudy Garcia, Jamie Welles, Barbara Garcia, Antonio Maestas, and Lara
Bryson. These facilitators, along with Everette Hill, will be continuing to
contact stakeholders in the community to gather their input. If you have
any questions, please do not hesitate to contact ONC and we can clarify any
issues. Please take a minute to familiarize yourself with all of the
facilitators. Their bios can be found at:

the Ted Gallegos Alamosa Community Center on August 11, 10:00 a.m. - 2:00

*Garage Sale Safety Tips!*
<https://cabq.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=b697b563bdb0acc3e117a1409&id=9fb7186118&e=86a7228d94>
Summer
always means garage sales,and there are a few things to keep in mind when
having one:

   - Only two garage sales per year are allowed by City rule, and can’t
   exceed three days.
   - No signs advertising the sale are allowed on utility poles or in
   medians.
   - If possible, have an assistant or two to help you with sales and cash
   handling, and to prevent theft of sale items or cash.
   - Have plenty of change on hand - $1 bills, quarters, etc. – and keep a
   close eye on it.
   - Have a calculator on hand.
   - Specify that sale of all items is final and clarify that all sales are
   cash only.
   - For safety, have the sale in your more-visible yard or driveway, not
   in the garage.
   - Keep your pets indoors.
   - Keep your house doors and windows closed and locked, and keep your
   garage locked.
   - Before the sale, double-check all sale items to ensure no personal or
   financial information is left in them.
   - Watch for trip hazards such as cords, boxes, bags, or other clutter,
   and don’t display breakable items where they can be easily knocked over.
   - Keep anything that is not for sale out of sight.
   - Any items not sold at the end of the day could be put in a box marked
   “FREE” to eliminate further packing and cleaning up.
   - If you’ve put out signs, remember to take them down at the end of the
   sale and keep your neighborhood looking tidy.

   Department’s Zoning & Residential Code Office at (505) 924-3850 or visit:
