<br />wauld appearta be late far a City budget electian. Outcame ,of the
<br />May 1 statewide election an praperty tax/schaal financing measure
<br />will mare ,or less determine whether 'a May 7 date will hald far lacal
<br />schaal budget elections, and in arty event it is unlikely that the

<br />,J::1 Nei~hborhood Recognition 'procedure -,Copies ~.t s:atement of p6i~cy with regard to
<br />. , neighborhood organizations were prev~ously d~str~buted to Counc~l members. It out-
<br />: lined the r~quirerne!lts for recogni tion as a nei9hborhood o~~zation, func.tions
<br />; and responsibilities for both the organizations and the City, and recommended

<br />, Mr. Murray moved seconded by Mr. Wood that the Neigborhood Organizations Policy
<br />be ,referred to the Planning Commission and returned with their comment.

<br />.
<br />
<br />. Councilman Murray explained background and intent of the policy, supported by
<br />officers of existing neighborhood organizations with sli<;[ht reservations that it
<br />would benefit by more City staff input. He felt that referral to the planning Com-
<br />I mission would allay that reservation. He said the policV would not be a radical
<br />, departure from present policy but addresses ,itself to requirements needed to be
<br />recognized by the City and start an advisory relationship. It would try not to
<br />restrict the organizations from being flexible in form and interests, at the same
<br />time try not to place unreasonable demands on t~e City in light of budgetary con-
<br />siderations, staff time, and work expectations.
