5752-01 Seattle (Wash.). Dept. of Neighborhoods Seattle Neighborhood Service Centers Director's Records 1973-1999 1993-1998 6.0 cubic feet 15 boxes Administrative records of Seattle Neighborhood Service Centers, known as "Little City Halls". Collection materials are in English Historical Note

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 the Director of the Neighborhood Service Centers Division, including subject files, planning files for the Mayor’s neighborhood town meetings and walking tours and records collected by Neighborhood Service Centers regarding Neighborhood District Councils. Also included are Neighborhood Service Centers files from earlier years when the Centers were part of the Department of Human Resources, as well as files concerning the Street Use Appeals Board.

Arranged into four subseries: Dept of Human Resources Neighborhood Service Centers files, Subject files, District councils, and Mayor’s town hall meetings/walking tours.

Records are open to the public.
