Welcome! This is the official website of the Los Angeles Neighborhood Council Coalition (LANCC). We are a large coalition of Neighborhood Councils and welcome everyone to this open process. Don't be left out! Join the LA NC Coalition! Send a delegate from your Neighborhood Council to represent you in this important process in Los Angeles.
About Us
Neighborhood Councils in Los Angeles came about with the revision of the City Charter in 1999. Article IX, Section 901(c) of that Charter states that the Neighborhood Councils should come together as a Congress of Neighborhoods. Why a "Congress of Neighborhoods"? What did the members of the Revision Commission mean when they used that term? According to the members of the Revision Commission, it was envisioned that Neighborhood Councils would come together to communicate with one another and to discuss and decide major issues affecting the citizens of Los Angeles. The formation of the Congress was to be left up to the Neighborhood Councils themselves.Now, that time has come! The Los Angeles Neighborhood Council Coalition is intended to enhance the ability of NCs, as well as their clout and influence, giving a larger voice on issues affecting more than one neighborhood. The Coalition is not intended to usurp or interfere with the role of an individual Neighborhood Council in their own neighborhood.

c. Safety in the community
4. Update on COVID-19 and the actions of the Mayor in this crisis.
5. Update from BONC.
6. Discussion and possible action for the Los Angeles Neighborhood Council Coalition (XXXXXX Neighborhood
Council) is gravely concerned that it has taken 2 years since the Los Angeles Neighborhood Council Coalition
asked for Councilmember Jose Huizar to resign that the Los Angeles Times Editorial Board, Mayor Garcetti,
Council President Martinez, and Controller Ron Galperin have asked him to step down. It is offensive that Mr.
Huizar is allowed to collect a paycheck during these times, when Angelenos do not have jobs because of
COVID-19 and the current riots, from the taxpayers while not having to attend committee or council meetings
and represent the good people of Council District 14. Mr. Huizar, do the right thing for the people of Los
Angeles and RESIGN.
7. Discussion and possible action for the Los Angeles Neighborhood Council Coalition (XXXXXX Neighborhood
Council) is gravely concerned that Eric Garcetti has been in office for 19 years, with 14 years as Council
President and Mayor, and on Thursday, June 4, 2020 you announced that this was a moment that we must
seize to take action to end the scourge of racism. You have had 19 years as an elected official to correct racial
injustice in the City of Los Angeles and you have failed us and your words fall on deaf ears. While rioters and
looters were destroying and burning our business districts, you did not stand up for those business owners and
hardworking employees who businesses and jobs were destroyed and livelihoods crushed. Just like in 1992,
many of these businesses will not come back depriving residents of vital services and employment
opportunities. You and the other elected official, who for years have known that this powder keg was ready to
explode need to feel the pain on all Angelenos. We demand that all elected official in the City of Los Angeles
take a 46% pay cut so that you can feel the pain and injustices that Angelenos have felt for your lack of
leadership that gotten to this point of despair and unrest.
8. Discussion and possible action for the Los Angeles Neighborhood Council Coalition (XXXXXX Neighborhood
Council) request that the CAO Office and City Controller Galperin report in 120 days if the City of Los Angeles,
with its current economic crisis and potential to reduce LAPD Funding, can financially and safely support the
Games of the XXXIV Olympiad.
9. Discussion and possible action for the Los Angeles Neighborhood Council Coalition (XXXXXX Neighborhood
Council) is currently concerned with the possible reduction of the LAPD budget. Without a tangible list of cuts
to review, we cannot support the reduction at this time. Depending on the cut, it could reduce community
policing in the areas that could not afford private security and cause an increase in crime.
