A joint initiative has been launched to educate the Los Angeles faith community about potential benefits of neighborhood councils in Los Angeles, and to help faith organizations participate in the neighborhood council process. In 1999, Los Angeles voters approved a city charter reform measure that, in part, established a neighborhood council system to increase citizen participation in local decision-making and empower neighborhoods to make positive changes in their communities. The brochure answers frequently asked questions about neighborhood councils and identifies ways faith communities can get involved.
Neighborhood councils are organizations that represent their community s interest.
Certified by the city of Los Angeles, councils have advisory powers on issues of concern to the neighborhood, and will receive early notification from the city regarding any decisions affecting the neighborhood. Hard copies of the brochure also are available by calling 213.740.4690. 1031 Bienveneda Ave., Pacific Palisades. For information and directions, telephone 310.573.7787, ext. Thomas Neenan is music director and conductor.
