Resolved by the Commission of the City of Battle Creek:
For over thirty five years Neighborhood Planning Councils have been a vital partnership between city government and residents in the important work maintaining and improving healthy neighborhoods.
Since Neighborhood Planning Councils were originally formed in November, 1979, changes have occurred in our neighborhoods and community making it important to update and clarify the roles and responsibilities of Neighborhood Planning Councils, their relationship to city government, the supports provided by the City for their work and their guidelines for operation.
To that end, following extensive input from residents, the NPC Charter has been amended to better reflect our community and establish a framework for officials, administrators and employees of city government and NPC members to consistently work in a way that promotes neighborhood interests, neighborhood improvements and neighborhood characteristics to the fullest.
The City Commission hereby adopts the Neighborhood Planning Council Charter, including the Dissolution and Reinstatement Policy, as set forth in the attached document.
Further, Resolution No. 263 (June 21, 2005) and its attachments are hereby rescinded.
I, Victoria Houser, City Clerk of the City of Battle Creek, hereby certify the above and foregoing is a true and correct copy of a Resolution adopted by the Battle Creek City Commission at a Regular meeting held on August 4, 2015.
Victoria Houser
