LTC# 131-2020 LETTER TO COMMISSION
TO: Mayor Dan Gelber and Members of he City mmission
FROM: Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager
DATE: March 11, 2020
SUBJECT: Neighborhood Affairs Division Structure
The purpose of this LTC is to announce the structure of the Neighborhood Affairs Division
(NAD.)
As previously stated, the goal for creating this new division is to increase the consistency of
communications within our community, along with increasing the level of collaboration between
city departments — ensuring that our residents are fully informed on everything they need and
may want to know.
The Neighborhood Affairs Division will be integrated across all city departments. Each staff
member will be responsible for a geographic area of the city and ensure extensive public outreach
is met for each of the projects within their area.
Neighborhood Affairs Coordinators (NACs) will be responsible for continuing to maintain
relationships with all Neighborhood Associations, Homeowner Associations and community
groups within their area. The team will work with residents and stakeholders daily to answer any
of their questions.
The division will also service city departments by acting as a resource to share information with
residents. They will have a dedicated email address and phone number for city staff and residents
to contact the division directly.
The NAD team will proactively attend association meetings and have a strong presence at city
events to meet residents and stakeholders. The list of the Neighborhood Affairs Coordinators is
below, along with the area that they are responsible for.
