The purpose of this Informal Report is to inform the City Council that, effective February 22, 2020, the
Transportation and Public Works Department(TPW) street sign topper program will be managed by the
Communications and Public Engagement Department through the Community Engagement Office. TPW
and the Community Engagement Office have redesigned the program to encourage greater program
participation, increased community engagement, and better visual recognition of registered neighborhood
associations. The streamlined process will leverage existing staff resources and includes new opportunities
for collaboration among the City Council, community engagement liaisons,Neighborhood Patrol Officers,
TPW, and all registered neighborhoods.
The revised program includes these important changes:
• All registered neighborhood associations will be eligible to participate.
• The online application may now be submitted at no cost by any board member of a registered
neighborhood association.
• Graphic artwork for neighborhood sign toppers will be completed at no cost by City staff.
• Neighborhood associations will work with their assigned community engagement liaison to ensure
the project's successful completion.
• Neighborhood associations will be required to involve their full membership throughout the
planning, design, and installation/celebration phases.
• City Council members,Neighborhood Patrol Officers, and other City staff will assist neighborhood
associations during the installation/celebration phase.
• Completed projects will be showcased in City News and City social media outlets to highlight
City/neighborhood partnerships and to recognize the many contributions of our registered
neighborhood associations.
