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) (XXXXXX Neighborhood Council) finds the actions of Mayor Garcetti to be unacceptable in regards to his response to the Typhus epidemic which has continued to worsen, with 107 people now infected. The Mayor has allowed heaps of uncollected garbage to linger on the streets of Los Angeles and failed to fulfill a promise to fumigate for fleas and vermin on the twenty-three blocks in Downtown Los Angeles known as the Typhus Zone creating breeding grounds for the disease. As of November 1, 2018, The Department of Public Works has only fumigated six out of twenty-three blocks endangering public health. Moving forward, The Los Angeles Neighborhood Council Coalition (LANCC) (XXXXXX Neighborhood Council) demands that the Mayor and the Department of Public Works finish eradicating the cause of the Typhus outbreak in the Typhus Zone within the next seven days and create an outreach plan through the City’s current homeless outreach channels to educate the public on how to mitigate the spread of Typhus.
