PRE-APPROVED EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT

Each active Association is eligible for up to $750/year in reimbursement for expenses related to Neighborhood projects and other administrative costs. Eligible expenses are broadly categorized as items which help an Association complete required business, facilitate community events/projects, and support community building. A designated Neighborhood Association representative must request and receive approval for anticipated expenses prior to making purchases and/or seeking reimbursement from the city. Requests must include a completed reimbursement invoice, itemized receipts for all approved purchases, and up-to-date tax documentation for the Association.

LIABILITY POLICY 

Shoreline purchases an annual liability insurance policy for each active Neighborhood Association. This coverage allows neighborhoods to reserve city facilities, host events, and sponsor summer block parties for residents within their neighborhood's boundaries.

PRINTING

The city often offers printing support for active neighborhood associations. Printing requests should be sent to the Community Opportunities Coordinator via email. Requests should include material design, dimension, and quantity. Printing orders are processed in the order that they were received. Funding is limited for this purpose, and neighborhoods are encouraged to send their printing orders as soon as they are prepared to do so. 

MAILING

Each association may redeem one neighborhood-wide mailer per year. Mailers are printed with black ink on either white or color paper as selected by the association. Mailers are limited to postcard dimensions (4"x6")

LAMINATION 

Lamination requests will be filled on a case-by-case basis. Materials that include specific dates or other information that will become irrelevant with the passing of time will NOT be eligible for lamination through the city's resource. Neighborhoods are strongly encouraged to request lamination only for materials which can be consistently reused. 

To initiate a mailing, printing, and/or lamination order a designated neighborhood representative must email the design to Shoreline's Community Opportunities Coordinator, mvanabbema@shorelinewa.gov

Active Neighborhood Associations may request supplies from the city to support their events. Supply delivery is contingent on availability of both equipment and staff. Supplies include picnic tables, folding tables, folding chairs, and pop-up canopies.

Recology Waste Management service is also available to active Neighborhood Associations to support their events. Recology service includes delivery and pick-up of compost, recycling, and garbage carts. 

Requests for supplies and Recology waste management services should be made via the Neighborhood Event Application Form. If the event will not be held at a City Park or Park Facility, requests should be sent via email to mvanabbema@shorelinewa.gov
