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.
The WG4CC typically meets on the second and fourth Sundays of the month at 4:00 p.m. via Zoom. The next meeting is tentatively scheduled for TBA.

a. Discussion and possible action Neighborhood Council Funding: The Mayor’s proposed Fiscal Year 2025-2026 Budget includes a $25,000 annual allocation for each Neighborhood Council, a $7,000 reduction from the current amount of $32,000. It also provides for the rollover of all unexpended funds from this fiscal year to the following one. Over 20 years ago, NCs were allocated $50,000 annually with the ability to rollover up to $100,000. Since then, due to cost-of-living increases and inflation, a dollar of purchasing power now requires $1.76.
MOTION: The __________ Neighborhood Council requests that the Mayor and City Council restore the amount annually allocated to at least the current $32,000. The ____NC supports the rollover of all unexpended funds from this fiscal year to next year, as proposed in the Mayor’s Budget.
