The Minneapolis Neighborhood Revitalization Program (NRP) announces an open appointment process for the selection of neighborhood representatives to the Management Review Team (MRT). The MRT is a committee established by the NRP Policy Board to review Neighborhood Action Plans and early access requests prior to consideration by the Policy Board.

Neighborhood Representatives to the NRP Policy Board will select MRT neighborhood representatives and alternates in late March 2002. The new members selected will begin their appointments to the MRT in April 2002 and serve until their successors are appointed in early 2003.

One representative and one alternate will be appointed for each of the three neighborhood types: protection, redirection and revitalization. One representative and one alternate will be selected at large.

Applications are available at the City Clerk's office, NRP office, neighborhood organization offices and Minneapolis Public Libraries. Applications are due by 4:30 p.m., Friday, March 15, 2002 at the City Clerk's office, Room 304 City Hall, 350 South Fifth Street, Minneapolis, MN 55415. Applications can be mailed or delivered to the City Clerk's office.

If you would like additional information on the appointment process, please contact Carsten Slostad at the NRP office at 612-673-5150.
