NSP Proposal Process:
NOTE:  you may NOT submit for FY25 until your FY24 has been APPROVED

A Community Council’s NSP proposal must be approved in an open meeting which includes any residents living within that neighborhood, regardless of membership status, prior to making a presentation to the NSP Review Committee. 

Proposals are submitted prior to the Review Committee Meeting.  The opportunity will be given to Councils to revise their proposals prior to the Review Committee Meeting. The Review Committee votes to recommend the approval of the proposals.
