Records documenting the work of the
Southwest/Southeast Neighborhood District Coordinator.
English .
The Department of Neighborhoods was created in 1991 by consolidating
staff from the Executive Department's Citizens Service Bureau and Office of
Neighborhoods, the Community Service Centers of the Department of Human
Resources, and the Neighborhood Assistance Division of the Department of
Community Development. The Office of Urban Conservation, the City's historic
preservation agency, was added in 1992. The following year, the department
added a community development function by taking over projects in the Central
Area, Southeast Seattle, and the Port of Seattle. In 1999, the Neighborhood
Planning Office was abolished and its continuing functions were assumed by the
Department of Neighborhoods. The Department's mission is to bring local
government closer to the citizens by maintaining a responsive presence in
Seattle neighborhoods, by responding to citizen concerns and complaints, and
providing a communications link for neighborhoods on City issues that will have
an impact on them. The department operates the Neighborhood Service Centers
(Little City Halls), administers the Neighborhood Matching Grant Program,
staffs the Landmarks Preservation Board, and manages the P-Patch program.
Records of activities and issues relating to the work of the
Southwest/Southeast District neighborhood coordinators. Each of Seattle's 13
districts had a neighborhood district coordinator who acted as a liaison
between the City of Seattle and district councils. In addition, the
neighborhood district coordinator was responsible for overseeing grant
applications, responding to community requests and complaints, and managing the
activities of the neighborhood service centers. In 2017, the department
reorganized neighborhood staff to four community engagement coordinators (one
citywide coordinator, and one each for the north, central, and south sectors.)
Issues covered in the records include community initiatives and organizations,
City projects and initiatives in the neighborhoods, public safety, development,
and parks. The Contacts folder is a useful source of names of community
organizations in the early 2000s.
Records are open to the public.
