From the Paper:

"The NET plan meant a decentralization of municipal services down to the neighborhood level in mini city halls, which in turn fostered a team approach to the identification and resolution of problems. The original staff of each NET Service Center included an NET Administrator, a Service Center Representative, a Neighborhood Resource Officer (NRO), and a Public Service Aide, along with code enforcement inspectors for sanitization, and public works. Also, six of the Service Centers were augmented with job counselors. Representatives from different city departments were assigned to each NET Service Center, but the NRO was considered the key element to the success of the program (NET Concept, 2007)."
