Re: CITY
POLL WORKERS STILL NEEDED. SECOND CONGRESS PLANNING MEETING SCHEDULED.
LOOKING UP CITY COUNCIL VOTES.
CITY POLL WORKERS
STILL NEEDED
The Office of
the City Clerk still needs more poll workers for both the March
8 and the May 17 elections. Meet people, make new friends, and make
so easy for people to vote that they will want to do it twice!
The City Clerk
will pay a stipend of $55/75, and you will be paid $25 to attend
the 2-hour training class. You must be a registered voter. There
is a special need for those English-speaking people, who also speak
Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, Korean, Tagalog, and Vietnamese.
Contact the
City Clerk at election@clerk.lacity.org,
or call (213) 978-0444.
SECOND CONGRESS
PLANNING MEETING SCHEDULED
On February
10, interested Neighborhood Council leaders met for the first time
to discuss the last Congress of Neighborhoods, and to begin planning
the next one on June 25.
If you’d
like to join in, the next meeting will be on Thursday, February
24, at our Empowerment Academy Training Center: 305 East First Street,
Los Angeles, CA 90012, in Little Tokyo, at 7:00 p.m. Free street
parking is available after 6:00 p.m., as well as in Lot 7 located
around the corner on Judge John Aiso Street (the parking attendant
leaves at 4:00 p.m.). There is no access to our office from Lot
7, so you will need to walk around to First Street.
Please call
Olivia Roby at (213) 473-4656, toll-free at (866) LA HELPS, or by
e-mail at oroby@mailbox.lacity.org
to let us know if you will be joining us, and for addition information.
HELPFUL HINT:
LOOKING UP CITY COUNCIL VOTES
This one is
so cool that you’ll be calling all your friends and telling
them about it.
Still again
on the cutting edge of transparency, the City’s website allows
you (and your friends) to find out which city council members voted
for which way on each matter. From the City’s home page at
www.lacity.org,
click on Council
Votes on the right, and you’ll be taken to a screen
that is so simple that even I can use it without taking a class.
