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.

LEGISLATIVE
The Los Angeles Neighborhood Council Coalition (LANCC) (XXXXXXX Neighborhood Council) requests that the City Council and Mayor replace Cat Packer, head of the Department of Cannabis Regulation, due to poor performance, little to no experience in how to administer a City department, and a lack of transparency during the licensing fiasco and preferring to advocate privately with Councilmembers instead of during public forums. Local activists have also stated that “there is no trust there.” Local media has also performed laboratory tests of samples from illegal shops in Los Angeles that found pesticides linked to hydrogen cyanide and other contaminates listed in Prop 65 which is fueling a public health and safety crisis. The Los Angeles Neighborhood Council Coalition (LANCC) (XXXXXXX Neighborhood Council) requests that the City Council and Mayor reevaluate the current funding of the Department of Cannabis Regulation and fund the department so that it can meet its mission to implement and enforce licensing and implement the social equity program.
