PURPOSE OF NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCILS:

“To promote more citizen participation in government
and make government more responsive to local needs”
~ Los Angeles City Charter, Article IX

You are invited to provide input on 9 motions that are currently being considered by the Board of Neighborhood Commissioners.  These motions address policies and regulations that govern the Neighborhood Council system and are contained in the Plan for a Citywide System of Neighborhood Councils (NC Plan).

The process for reviewing the NC Plan began in December 2012 when the Commission established 3 standing regional committees for that purpose.  After numerous public meetings, the committees developed 9 motions which address the following topics: 1) NC Subdivision, 2) Grievances and Complaints, 3) Board Selections, 4) Elections, 5) Brown Act and Posting Policies, 6) Appointment Processes, 7) Maintaining Information Networks, 8) Commission Duties, and 9) the Exhaustive Efforts Process.   

If you would like to weigh in individually, you can do so through a survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/9motions.

If you would like to view the worksheets and related documents that the NC Plan Review committees used as they deliberated on these issues, visit www.empowerla.org/ncplan.  You can also leave comments at this location.

Thank you in advance for your help.  And thank you for all that you do every day to make the Neighborhood Council system work and prosper.
