*Council Adds Appeals Resources to Website*

In order to help the public track the dates associated with appeals of land
use decision that they may be interested in, the City Council has added a
page to its website. Parties that are part of an appeal will still be
noticed formally through the Planning Department. The page lists the title
of each appeal and the associated dates. The page can be accessed at:

*Neighborhood Leader Reminder Tips*

We’ve received several requests from neighborhood leaders citywide to
remind association board and general members about the requirements of a
neighborhood leader. Being on a recognized neighborhood association board
can be very fulfilling, and can also be challenging in keeping with the
duties and requirements that the Neighborhood Association Recognition
Ordinance (NARO) specifies. Below is a list of expectations for recognized
neighborhood associations:

A.      Recognized neighborhood associations shall:

1.      By interaction with their members, residents, and the city, strive
to uphold good planning, protect the environment, and promote the community

welfare. Communication should be fostered between the recognized
neighborhood association and city government on plans, proposals, and
activities affecting their area.

2.      Attempt to inform members and other eligible participants in their
neighborhood of issues for discussion.

3.      Establish an orderly and democratic means for making representative
decisions.

4.      Establish and follow a clear method for reporting to the city
actions which accurately reflect the neighborhood's position.  When a
neighborhood association presents its official position on an issue to the
city, it shall be prepared to identify whether the decision was reached by
the board, a poll of the general membership, or by a vote at a general
membership meeting, and the vote for and against the position.

5.      Comply with its bylaw provisions.

6.      Notify the City Office of Neighborhood Coordination and the
district City Councilor(s) of general membership meetings at least two
weeks in advance, when possible.

7.      Notify the City Office of Neighborhood Coordination of two persons'
addresses where it wishes notice to be sent; such designation shall be
changed by the neighborhood association when appropriate.

B.      Registered neighborhood or homeowner associations shall:

1.      Notify the City Office of Neighborhood Coordination of two
addresses where it wishes any notices to be sent; such designation may be
changed when appropriate.

2.      Provide the City Office of Neighborhood Coordination with a
definition of the physical boundaries of the registered neighborhood or
homeowners association, which definition shall be consistent with the
subarea owned or occupied by the organization.
