The purpose of this L TC is to announce the creation of the new Neighborhood Affairs
Division (NAD) web portal with newly refreshed project pages.
Since the creation of the Neighborhood Affairs Division (NAD) this spring, the team has
been working with all city departments to collaborate on ways to increase consistency of
communications within our community and ensuring that our residents are fully informed
on everything they need and may want to know. Through this collaboration with city
departments, we have created a new streamlined web portal to better assist resident
needs. From information on citywide projects to details on new initiatives and resources
for residents and stakeholders, the new portal provides residents with yet another
avenue to stay up to date with city projects.
While refreshing the city's website to ensure that all project information was clear and
accurate, the newly created web portal is a one-stop-shop where all community projects
will now be housed cultivating a seamless experience for residents looking for
information. Based on the structure of the NAD, the new webpages have a portal for
each city area (North, South and Mid-Beach) and list contact information for each area's
Neighborhood Affairs Coordinator. A new interactive project map was also created to
provide residents with a visual reference when looking for projects in their area.
In addition to the new area portals, each of the city project pages have been refreshed
to better serve all interested parties. Throughout the new web portal and the refreshed
project pages, there are multiple opportunities to contact city personnel responsible for
the area or project. These improvements streamline engagement with residents and
reinforce our commitment to maintaining transparency.
The NAD has been integrated across all city departments, each Neighborhood Affairs
Coordinator is responsible for a geographic area of the city and are ensuring extensive
public outreach is met for each of the projects within their area. The list of the
Neighborhood Affairs Coordinators is below, along with the area that they are
responsible for and contact information.
