"Perks" for Neighborhood Associations

In order to assist the Neighborhood Associations in making their neighborhoods better, cleaner & safer places to live, the city has agreed to provide certain services to the Neighborhood Associations at no cost:

• Neighborhood Services staff attends most Neighborhood Association general memberships meetings and coordinates requests for information from the various city departments.
• Free use of certain city facilities for NA meetings, activities, and events during the facilities normal hours of operation.
• Free advertising in "City Limits" and on WCCC Cable Channel 10. The Municipal Information Department will advertise the Neighborhood Associations news, activities, meetings and events on Channel 10 and in the "City Limits" newsletter that accompanies all water bills.
• Rolloff dumpsters service at three Neighborhood Clean ups each year. Two of the cleanups must be held on predetermined dates that coincide with Baylor's Steppin' Out (community volunteering days). The other date can be chosen by the Neighborhood Association, but must be coordinated with Neighborhood Services at one month in advance of the clean-up date.
• Assistance with Special Events for the neighborhood - parades, block parties, park parties, etc., provided by Neighborhood Services and Parks & Recreation. Special Event applications must still be completed, but fees will be waived for two events per year. Applications are due two months prior to the event.
• Printing assistance through the city's print shop. Each NA will be granted a specific amount of "free printing" to be used each year. The amount will be determined each budget year and can be used for general NA operation needs or advertising such as newsletters, meeting or event fliers, agendas, minutes, etc.
• Two free Garage Sales each year The Garage Sale Ordinance specifically allows Neighborhood Associations and Homeowner's Associations to have two garage sales per year without paying the garage sale permit fee. The permit must be obtained, but the fee is waived.
