Neighborhood Planning Councils (NPCs) are resident-based

groups that serve an important and specific purpose in our

community. The purpose of Neighborhood Planning Councils

is to provide a forum to inform and discuss with neighborhood

residents and representatives of the City staff and City

Commissioners, issues and concerns of that neighborhood.

Generally, the City informs the NPC of facts and potential

results of pending decisions, opportunities or other changes.

The NPC discusses and decides what, if any, recommendations

it would like to make or strategies they would like to develop.

These meetings are all open to the public who may attend and

offer suggestions about resolving certain matters of interest

in the neighborhood. Any person who lives or owns property

in a Council area or has demonstrable or substantial interest

(i.e. works in) within the defined boundaries of the Council

area may request to be considered for membership on their

NPC Board.

Anyone wanting to join an NPC should give his or her name

to the chairperson of the Council. Attendance as a potential

member is encouraged prior to recommendation by the NPC

for membership. His or her name is submitted to the City

Commission for official appointment.

Each NPC has a regularly scheduled meeting date each month. Meetings are held in the evenings and run one to two hours in length.

Questions about Neighborhood Planning Councils, meeting locations or membership may be directed to the City of Battle Creek 966-3348.

NPC meeting minutes are available online at: http://www.battlecreekmi.gov/City_Government/Boards_and_Commissions/Minutes__
