South West Neighborhood Staff Team:
To be more responsive to neighborhood issues, the City Madison has setup eight citywide teams comprised of city staff, and in case non-city staff, that work directly within neighborhoods. Building inspectors, neighborhood police officers, public health nurses, and other pertinent city staff meet bimonthly to discuss major trends occurring within the southwest neighborhoods, better coordinate municipal services, and identify any issues to improve delivery of city services. In addition to city staff, other important stakeholders such as community center staff, school officials, and probation and parole officers frequently attend the meetings. The SW Neighborhood Resource Team meets the second Thursday of January, March, May, July, September, November at 1:00 at the Wisconsin Youth & Family Center, 1201 McKenna Blvd. More information: http://www.cityofmadison.com/nrt/Default.htm
