About Neighborhood Planning Assemblies (NPAs)
A section of Burlington City Council resolution first adopted in 1982 establishing provisions for a
Neighborhood Planning Assembly in each City ward.
…Neighborhood Planning Assemblies shall... help provide citizens with information concerning city
programs and activities; help obtain citizen views of city needs; help provide citizens with the opportunity
to participate in making recommendations with respect to governmental decisions including the
allocation of revenues.
...Assemblies shall also be encouraged to provide advice to the appropriate commission or this council
with respect to community development, housing programs, this City's Comprehensive Plan and its
waterfront planning activities, and the city's budget among other issues....


NPA GUIDING PRINCIPLES:
 ● Operate through democratic principles and democratic procedures;
 ● Provide a safe and welcoming forum where residents can actively share their voices about
 issues that matter to them, and where they can learn from the voices of others;
 ● Cultivate involvement by a diverse spectrum of community members through active
 outreach and through eliminating barriers to participation;
 ● Operate in a manner that models respectful, inclusive, culturally, and economically aware
 practices; and
 ● Be a fun, creative, and vital organization that provides value and benefit through the
 multitude of perspectives shared by those who participate.


NPA GROUND RULES:
 ● Meetings should have clearly defined Agenda & Roles.
 ● Honor Time limits: A best effort must be made to start on time, follow the agenda,
 and finish on time.
 ● Listen to others: Make efforts to be an open-minded member of the group.
 ● Respect the agenda and the process: Try to remain focused on the issue at hand.
 ● Share your opinion respectfully: Speak out, but not over, others’ comments.
 ● Treat people how you would like to be treated: Be respectful of everyone, including
 guests.
