	At Civic meetings, members discuss events of importance to Somerton. The Civic serves as a Registered Community Organization for Somerton pursuant to the City's Zoning Code, so its members are often asked to consider zoning variances, and they take an active interest in development and land use in the community. Speakers are frequently invited to Civic meetings. Members often bring problems in the neighborhood to the attention of elected officials or their staff members who regularly attend Civic meetings, or to the police, who conduct the monthly meeting of Police Service Area 3 of the 7th Police District during the Civic meeting. The Civic's board meets prior to member meetings. The board and members also work outside the context of meetings to serve the purposes of the organization.

	The ~~Somerton~~ Civic ~~Association~~ is more than 70 years old, and the neighborhood's residents organized to advocate for Somerton long before that. In 1975, the Civic became a nonprofit corporation.		The Civic is more than 70 years old, and the neighborhood's residents organized to advocate for Somerton long before that.
