neighborhood planning council updates Neighborhood Planning Councils (NPCs) are resident-based groups that serve an important and specific purpose in our community. The purpose of Neighborhood Planning Councils is to provide a forum to inform and discuss with neighborhood residents and representatives of the City staff and City Commissioners, issues and concerns of that neighborhood. Generally, the City informs the NPC of facts and potential results of pending decisions, opportunities or other changes. The NPC discusses and decides what, if any, recommendations it would like to make or strategies they would like to develop. These meetings are all open to the public who may attend and offer suggestions about resolving certain matters of interest in the neighborhood. Any person who lives or owns property in a Council area or has demonstrable or substantial interest (i.e. works in) within the defined boundaries of the Council area may request to be considered for membership on their NPC Board. Anyone wanting to join an NPC should give his or her name to the chairperson of the Council. Attendance as a potential member is encouraged prior to recommendation by the NPC for membership. His or her name is submitted to the City Commission for official appointment. Each NPC has a regularly scheduled meeting date each month. Meetings are held in the evenings and run one to two hours in length. Questions about Neighborhood Planning Councils, meeting locations or membership may be directed to the City of Battle Creek 269-966-3348. NPC meeting minutes are available online at: http://www. battlecreekmi.gov/City_Government/Boards_and_Commissions/Minutes__Agendas_and_Notices_Archives.htm
