Neighborhood Representation

The UpCPG board is structured to allow each neighborhood to have its own voice represented in the community planning process.

  • Each of the six neighborhoods has two seats elected by the residents of that neighborhood. One seat is for a property owner, the other for a renter.

  • Local non-profits and businesses serve the community at large and are elected by all Uptown residents. There are five business seats, no more than two of which can be from a single neighborhood. One seat is reserved for a non-profit organization.

  • Six member seats, or one-third, are up for election each year for three-year terms. When a seat becomes vacant before the end of its designated term, the board may appoint an eligible member to serve in that seat until the next election.

  • Individual members may hold a seat on the board for a maximum of seven consecutive years.

The Election Cycle table to the right shows how the seat elections are distributed across election cycles.
