The Carmel Neighborhood Association Network (CNAN) was formed in 2001 for
the purpose of strengthening the community by creating greater communication
between neighborhoods within the City of Carmel. Representatives from local
Homeowner Associations and Carmel residents are invited to attend the
quarterly meetings to learn more about the City’s policies and services,
neighborhood covenants, crime watch, road projects and other relevant
topics. The meeting concludes with an open discussion where residents are
given the chance to ask questions or raise concerns to Mayor Jim Brainard,
City Council Members, Department Heads or guest speakers.
The main objectives of the Carmel Neighborhood Association Network are
for Homeowner Association Presidents to network and help each other find
solutions to common problems, and to maintain strong, safe and attractive
neighborhoods throughout the City of Carmel.

overview of their purpose.

Human Resources was established under the current administration
to manage and facilitate the hiring and employment of the city's more than
300 employees.
Information Systems builds
and maintains computer information systems used by the city.
Department of Law
The City of Carmel Department of Law was formed to provide in-house legal
services for the City's Departments and Officials, the City Council, the City's
various Boards, Agencies and Commissions, and municipal utilities. Having
in-house counsel saves taxpayers about $100 per hour in legal fees for matters
that would previously have gone to higher-priced outside counsel.
The Law Department also:
Reviews all City contracts. Represents the City in legal proceedings.
Drafts City ordinances and other legal papers.
Prosecutes City ordinance violators.
Handles City employment law matters.
Coordinates title searches and prepares documents needed for roadway
construction and other public works projects such as the Monon Trail and
Hazel Dell Parkway.
Represents the public interest in unsafe building and other public health
or zoning matters
Department of Engineering
The City of Carmel Department of Engineering oversees plans for new
development and provides leadership for the city's infrastructure and
construction projects.
Carmel Street Department
The Carmel Street Department maintains the city's 204 miles of streets and
provides recycling for Carmel residents.
Snow Removal: When the city receives up to 3 inches of snow, the
Carmel Street Department plows only main streets such as Rangeline, Main Street,
Gray Road and secondary streets such as Brookshire Parkway, Lakeshore Drive East
and West, Spruce Drive and High Drive. When the city receives 3 or more
inches of snow, main and secondary streets are plowed and salted as the snow
falls. After the snow stops falling and blowing, the entire city is plowed. It
takes nearly 24 hours to plow the city's 204 miles of roadway and 450
cul-de-sacs. Salting is routinely done only on main and secondary streets.
Bridges, hills, and intersections are also salted as needed.
Recycling Center: The recycling center is located next to the Street
Department. This facility is for the use of Carmel residents only, and accepts
newspaper, corrugated cardboard, glass (clear, brown and green), plastics (#1,
#2, and # 6), aluminum, steel and bi-metal beverage cans.
