NEW MAYOR. NEIGHBORHOOD CAFÉ VIDEOS AVAILABLE ON THE INTERNET.
THE NEW MAYOR
Having been
through the installation of three other new mayoral administrations,
I can only tell you what has been the past practice. A new mayor
will often form a transition team to help with the difficult process
of getting started. The first step is usually to select the senior
staff, then to appoint new people to serve on the high-profile and
high-impact commissions.
In past CityWatch
newsletters, it has been suggested that it’s time for Neighborhood
Councils to get serious about making recommendations to the mayor
about folks they would like to see on city commissions. Clearly,
the arrival of a new mayor presents a monumental opportunity for
Neighborhood Councils to try and impact this important aspect of
city government.
When I know
more about where suggestions should be sent, I will let you know.
NEIGHBORHOOD
CAFÉ VIDEOS
Through the
magic of technology, we have started providing the videos of our
Neighborhood Council shows on our website.
Currently, you
can view these half-shows on your computer:
“Neighborhood
Improvement Projects” with Operation Clean Sweep and the Greater
Griffith Park NC.
”Spring
St./Main St. Revitalization” with the Downtown Los Angeles
NC.
“Crenshaw
Revitalization” with several NCs from the area.
“Crime
Prevention” with the Arroyo Seco NC.
“Crime
Prevention, Part II” with the LAPD Senior Lead Officers.
“Emergency
Preparedness” with CANNDU and Harbor Gateway South NC.
“Graffiti
Prevention” with Harbor City NC.
“Neighborhood
Councils 101”. This was the first show, and is still helpful
to those who don’t know what Neighborhood Councils are all
about.
Click
here for a listing of all the Neighborhood Café shows,
or go to our website and click on Training>Neighborhood Cafe.
Eventually, all of the shows will be transcribed, and the text will
be available here.
