Neighborhood Council Program Survey Open Now Through August 31

The City of Tacoma is actively seeking community input through a survey on its Neighborhood Council program, with responses accepted until August 31. This survey is part of a crucial five-year review aimed at fostering deeper community engagement and enhancing government transparency. Tacoma's Neighborhood Council program comprises eight councils and a Community Council that address local issues and community priorities. The feedback collected will guide potential amendments to the Neighborhood Council Standards and Guidelines and could result in changes to Tacoma Municipal Code 1. 45.

The City emphasizes the importance of public participation in shaping local governance and encourages residents to share their perspectives. For those with questions or needing the survey in an alternative format, contact information for the Neighborhood and Community Services Department is provided. The initiative underscores Tacoma's commitment to accessible and responsive government. Detailed information, including the survey link, can be found at cityoftacoma. org/neighborhoodcouncils.
