Meetings: CRN will host community meetings as needed for zoning cases or to address issues that require coordination with police. In years past there has been very low response to well advertised meetings that featured our Commissioner and Police.  Therefore we do not hold regularly scheduled public meetings unless they are requested by a neighborhood to address a zoning case.  The CRN Board and Neighborhood Advisory members communicate by phone and email on a regular basis to discuss community issues. Information is posted regularly on this website and quarterly email updates will be sent to the email list.
