The committees formed and operated by the North Rosedale Park Civic Association to carry out the ongoing work of the organization are chaired by NRPCA Board Directors and manned by volunteers, both members and non-members alike. The NRPCA also appoints individuals to serve on external committees, which are operated by the city or other local organizations, and whose interests and activities are important to the neighborhood. NRPCA membership is a prerequisite for appointment to these committees.
Block Captains (chaired by Clarenda Webb)
Block Captains are responsible for maintaining a complete and accurate roster of their block and providing a copy to each household. They organize social events as the block desires, report neighbor concerns to the Board of Directors for resolution, and keep neighbors informed of important information.
Code Enforcment & Zoning (chaired by Marsha Bruhn)
The Code Enforcement and Zoning Committee, with the active support of the Board of Directors, works to apply the City of Detroit's zoning and licensing policies in a reasonable and consistent manner that encourages residents and business owners to improve and invest in their properties, while respecting the rights and interest of their neighbors and the historic character and long-term goals of the neighborhood.
Safety (chaired by Clarenda Webb)
All North Rosedale Park residents are expected to subscribe to Dusing Security & Surveillance, the neighborhood security service. The Safety Committee meets regularly with representatives from the Detroit Police Department to discuss issues of public safety in North Rosedale Park, sponsors a monthly safety meeting for residents to discuss such issues, and participates in meetings and talks on related issues.
Vacant Homes Task Force (NRP Representatives are Wendy Jackson and Clarenda Webb)
In 2006, recognizing the potential devastation that the national foreclosure crisis could have on our neighborhood, the North Rosedale Park Civic Association convened a task force to begin identifying solutions to preserve neighborhood properties. In 2007, the work was broadened by the Grandmont Rosedale Development Corporation and under their leadership a group of very committed neighbors have collaborated with the the Detroit Association of Realtors, Detroit Vacant Property Campaign, and all of our area neighborhood associations to tackle the problems associated with the increased number of vacant homes in our community.
