Neighborhood Engagement Process (NEP) Update for September
The Neighborhood Engagement Process (NEP) was established as a process to collect community input on the elements that can be integrated in the update of the Neighborhood Association Recognition Ordinance (NARO).
As the summer begins to turn into Fall, the NEP process has continued to move steadily along. The facilitation team has worked diligently over the summer months to try to ensure that there is equity in the community’s ability to engage the Choice Dialogue community input process. Thus far, we have been able to gather and meet with 68 different neighborhood and homeowners associations, while still working to convene people as a part of this process. And while so much of the Phase III input process has been focused on hearing community voice from the neighborhood and homeowners associations, we will also seek input from community members at large. Hearing all the voices of the community and creating pathways for engagement from everyone in the community, including young people, is a really important aspect in this project.
The community convening portion of this project will continue through the end of September, and we will continue to provide updates on the project and our progress. To learn more about the Neighborhood Engagement Process or the facilitators, you can access their bios at: www.cabq.gov/office-of-neighborhood-coordination/neighborhood-engagement-process. They will continue to keep working diligently into the early fall to coordinate additional choice dialogues and to capture community input data that will support the Office of Neighborhood Coordination and the Albuquerque City Council in their process to update the NARO. To ensure that your neighborhood association can be reached by the NEP team, please make sure that your contact information (email, phone & address) are up to date with the ONC.
