The purpose of this Informal Report is to provide information to the City Council about the number of organizations that
were registered with the City from 2018 to 2024. As you will see from the quantifiable information below, the number of
registered neighborhood associations and HOAs has increased over the six -year review period.
The City currently has a registration policy for various types of organizations. The registration is voluntary and there are
minimum requirements, based on the type of organization.
When an organization is registered, they receive the following benefits:
• Inclusion in the Community Engagement Database.
• Inclusion in the distribution of the Community Engagement Bulletin, as well as other pertinent
information from department's and District Offices.
• Inclusion in the Neighborhood Organization Map.
• Registration in the Early Courtesy Notification System.
• Support and training.
Why does the City have a registration process?
• Improve outreach and engagement.
• Maintain an updated database of neighborhood, faith -based and community organizations.
• Provide notifications of zoning cases and other City programs.
• Share regular information and updates on City services and events.
• Assist neighborhoods with capacity building and identifies those needing assistance.
We currently offer registration to these types of organizations:

Neighborhood Alliances Registered from 2018 -2024:
• In 2018, we had 10 neighborhood alliances registered
• 2019 — present we have had 11 neighborhood alliances registered.
We are currently in the process of contacting each Alliance to get an updated list of their member organizations. We will
then confirm that each of these organizations agrees to be included. We will then update the database to reflect the
correct membership lists. Moving forward, this will be done when the annual update is submitted.
Database
Staff is currently working with ITS to launch a new database, later this year. This database will allow us to easily update
the information and also have multiple departments provide information on any contacts they make with these
organizations. The current database is approximately 15 years old and doesn't have all the functionality needed for the
increased engagement that is taking place throughout the City.
