Re: Early Notification of Item that may be Discussed Soon by the Board of Neighborhood Commissioners

At its meeting last Tuesday, the Board of Neighborhood Commissioners heard a verbal report from me on the Neighborhood Councils that have not had their first election in the last six months.

During that general discussion, a motion was made that the commission consider inviting the Neighborhood Councils that have gone a year without having an election, and that don't have any concrete plans to have an election, to come to a future a meeting(s) and discuss the problems they are having.

As you probably know, this new proposal could not be discussed when it was made. You can expect that this motion will be on the agenda for the commission’s next meeting on October 7, 6:30 p.m., University Senior High School, 11800 Texas Avenue. If you subscribe through ENS to receive these agendas, you should receive this one on Friday. If the commission follows its traditional order, this motion will be discussed following the certification application from the West Los Angeles Neighborhood Council.

At this meeting, the commission may decide to invite some Neighborhood Councils to appear at a future meeting(s). Three Neighborhood Councils (Old Northridge, South Robertson, and Valley Glen) have passed the one year mark, and Greater Cypress Park is getting near.
