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.

- PRESENTATIONS
- Dylan Sittig, Department of Planning, update on current projects and policies at the City of Los Angeles Planning Department.
- LEGISLATIVE
- The Los Angeles Neighborhood Council Coalition (LANCC) (XXXXXX Neighborhood Council) believes that the Budget Advocates serve a vital role in the Neighborhood Councils’ role to fulfil their mandate under Sec. 909 of the City Charter. Although there has been elections for the Neighborhood Council system, the Budget Advocates have extended their term for a second time without Neighborhood Council authorization or allowed new Boards to select a new Budget Representative which would allow that Budget Representative the ability to elect a new Budget Representative. We demand that the Budget Advocates hold new elections for Budget Advocates at the next Budget Day and that the Budget Advocates modify their By-laws to include language that if they want to extend their terms, they need to get support by a majority of certified Neighborhood Councils by resolution.
