This question came up at the Ward 8 organizational meeting. Since the meeting was not videotaped, I asked the mapmaker to explain how the final map changed from the 8 ward map recommended by the Redistricting Committee and referred by Council to the Charter Change Committee.
Neighborhood Planning Assemblies (NPAs) are grassroots, neighborhood organizations that are established in each of Burlington's Wards to encourage everyone's participation in City government. Working as neighborhood advocacy groups, Neighborhood Planning Assemblies help improve communication between the residents of Burlington and City government through regular meetings scheduled in each Ward.
