WEST TEAM

Mission

The mission of the City's Neighborhood Resource Teams is to help support City staff in all City neighborhoods, by helping them to:

- Know the neighborhoods better

• demographics

• local leadership, property owners

• daily life

• City, County, and private service agencies

• schools

- Understand other City services in the area

• by sharing information about your own agency with other departments and making sure that problems outside your own responsibilities are referred to the appropriate team members or department

• by being able to give neighborhood residents specific information about how to access City services

- Identify barriers and opportunities for coordination

• by reporting to the Guidance Team on a six-month basis

• by making referrals to other departments when a problem is clearly within their domain and is a part of their regular responsibilities; or when a process has been established to deal with that issue

- Be in a position to respond to specific cross-department issues

• Check out the neighborhoods pages on the City's website for additional information.
• If you have a suggestion or concern regarding a specific topic, contact the appropriate City agency — such as Public Health for health issues, or Police for crime issues.
• If you have a general suggestion, contact your Alder or the Mayor's Office, or the Neighborhood Resource Team leader within your area.
