About Neighborhood Councils
Many voters you meet will be new to Neighborhood Councils, so it’s helpful to give them an overview of what Neighborhood Councils are. Below is a cut and paste description of Neighborhood Councils in English and Spanish that you can use in your print or online promotions.
What Are Neighborhood Councils?
Neighborhood Councils are your connection to Los Angeles City Hall and the elected officials and City departments there. Neighborhood Councils are made up of elected board members who are part of the local community. The City of Los Angeles created Neighborhood Councils in 1999, in order to make the City government more responsive to local needs.
