The Board of Neighborhood Commissioners met in the Central Hollywood Neighborhood Council area on Tuesday night. They voted to update their Neighborhood Council Board Member Code of Conduct Policy to provide for a two year renewal timeline and have given Neighborhood Councils board members until November 1, 2016 to either sign the agreement or watch the video training. Many thanks to the awesome CHNC President Elvina Beck for hosting and sharing best practices and to our thoughtful Central area Commissioner Debbie Wehbe for providing refreshments for everyone!
On Wednesday night, Councilmember David Ryu and Council President Herb Wesson hosted the first a Meet the City Leaders reception for the Korean small business and community members at City Hall. EmpowerLA staffers and I mingled to chat up Neighborhood Councils.
I was happy to be one of the many City panelists in a standing room only crowd in Council Chambers to talk about Neighborhood Councils and invite everyone to the Congress of Neighborhoods on Saturday, September 24th. Speaking of which, I know the Congress workshops are filling up so if you haven’tregistered yet, please do so now.
This morning, I attended a very touching 9/11 Memorial Ceremony organized by the Los Angeles Fire Department. Mayor Garcetti, LAFD Chief Ralph Terrazas, Police Chief Charlie Beck and a host of other City leaders were also in attendance to remember those lost on 9/11 15 years ago.
