Community Impact Statements
A new tool for Neighborhood Councils

Dear NC Leaders:

It is my distinct pleasure to announce to you that the Neighborhood Council Review Commission has been incorporated into the Community Impact Statement system. Your Board can now easily communicate its official positions to the Commission electronically, via this system.

The easy-to-use form allows you to input the item your Board wishes to address, and to include a brief 100-word statement which will be distributed to the Commissioners and noted on the agenda. In addition, you may upload longer documents for the Commission's consideration.

I hope you will take advantage of this easy and effective tool — not only to communicate with the 912 Commission, but to regularly advise all City committees, commissions and boards.

As a reminder, the Commission's agendas are available by Early Notification System subscription at http://parc3. lacity.org/ ens/index. cfm. In addition, the Commission's website will debut in the coming days, and will include all relevant documents for easy download.

And finally, don't forget that the "Council File issue" comes to Rules& Elections for the final time this Wednesday, August 9 at 3 PM in City Hall room 1070.

Please feel free to forward this to your entire Board for their consideration. Thank you for your leadership and service to the stakeholders of Los Angeles.

Best regards,

Jason
