From the City of Sacramento Department of Neighborhood Services newsletter The Bridge.

By Brit Irby, Neighborhood Resources Coordinator serving Council District 1

During the busy autumn season, where can you find your Neighborhood Resources Coordinator? You can find her coordinating City Department booths and bringing helpful information for your neighborhood special event such as the Alkali Mansion Flats Celebration, the Creekside Community Fair, or Celebrate Natomas. Or maybe you’ll catch her working with business representatives and the City to help revitalize Chinatown Mall. You’ll likely sit next to her at a neighborhood meeting for Gardenland/Northgate, Valley View Acres or the Natomas Community Association, where she’ll be making community announcements and offering follow-up information when applicable. Perhaps you’ve seen her assisting the Department of Utilities on their recent Knock and Talk project in Natomas, or promoting a Parks and Recreation neighborhood meeting to discuss future plans for Jefferson Park. She’s also providing guidance and informational materials to community members starting a new neighborhood association, such as the up and coming South Natomas Neighborhood Association. 

Whether it’s co-facilitating Area 4 Leadership meetings or driving through an area to follow up on a concern, there is one place you’re sure to find your NRC…in the neighborhood.

If you’d like more information on any of these events, meetings or neighborhood groups, please contact Brit Irby at birby@cityofsacramento.org or visit www.cityofsacramento.org/ns.Brit Irby with NSD intern Michel Huizar at Celebrate Natomas 2008.
