Milwaukie’s Neighborhoods Program Milwaukie's Neighborhoods Program consists of 7 officially recognized Neighborhood District Associations (NDA) that include Ardenwald-Johnson Creek, Hector Campbell, Historic Milwaukie, Island Station, Lake Road, Lewelling, and Linwood. There are also two business industrial districts (North Industrial area and Milwaukie Business/Industrial) in the city, though they have not formally organized into associations and do not have bylaws. NDA Boundary Map The NDAs were created to improve communication between the city and its residents. This communication is managed and coordinated through the efforts of the Community Services Office. Each NDA meets monthly, has its own set of bylaws, and annually holds elections in May for a Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary, and Treasurer. To learn more about the roles and responsibilities of these positions refer to the bylaws of each neighborhood that are contained within their individual sites Bi-Monthly Leadership Meetings Officers from each of the city's 7 NDAs meet the last Wednesday of the month in January, March, May, July, and September in order to consistently communicate with one another about citywide issues and discuss mutual or opposing interests. Meetings are held at City Hall at 6:30pm. Leaders are asked to request particular agenda items and Community Services staff schedule guest speakers and include topics that are of interest to the community. To learn about the most recent topics of discussion refer to the meeting minutes located at NDA Leadership Meeting Minutes. Frequently asked questions?
Neighborhood Matching Grant Program The Neighborhood Grant Program is money that the City of Milwaukie has set aside to help its citizens enhance their neighborhoods. The grant is made possible through the Neighborhood Improvement Funds, which are annual allocations form the General Fund to a revenue fund for the neighborhoods. Each neighborhood is granted a total of $4,000 per fiscal year as of 2004-05. The neighborhood requesting these funds must meet a matching challenge that is equal to or greater than the value of the amount requested. If $1,000 is requested from the city, then at least $1,000 of match must be proposed and provided when the application is approved. Part of the match must be in volunteer labor (at least 25%) and the rest can take the form of professional services, donated materials, supplies, and cash.
