                Implementation
                        of TeamWork LA 
to promote neighborhood-based government 
 
                TeamWork LA is an initiative designed to foster a more neighborhood-oriented
                focus to the delivery of  City services. It facilitates
                inter-Departmental collaboration and it allows City residents
                to more readily access the City services they need. | 
                 | 
               
              
                 
                    Mayor
                      Hahn announced TeamWork LA at the end of 2002, calling
                          it a Community-Based Government Initiative. His Executive
                          Order
                      No. AP-2 included a 10 Point Plan, designed to shorten
                          the distance between the various neighborhoods and
                          City Hall. 
                       
                      A cornerstone of this initiative is the organization of
                      seven "Neighborhood
  Service Areas"  that reflect
  the geographic boundaries of the City's already existing seven Area Planning
  Districts. 
   
  Each region has its own Area Director, a representative of the Mayor's Office. 
                  
                  Here
                  are the Neighborhood Service Areas and their contacts:                                
                   
        
                     
                                         
                    Within each Neighborhood Service Area there are "Neighborhood
                    Service Cabinets" ... one for each Area. 
                     
                    All General Managers of Departments/Offices and Commissions of City Departments
that provide services to residents were directed by the Mayor to: | 
               
                                     
              
                 | 
                 
                  Serve
                in these Cabinets as Core and Associate members. | 
               
              
                 | 
                 
                  Identify
                    Assistant General Managers, or their equivalent, who will
                participate in applicable Cabinet meetings.                 | 
               
              
                 | 
                 
                  Redraw
                    service delivery districts to bring them into conformity
                    with the geographic boundaries of the seven Area Planning
                Districts. | 
               
             
             
            
              
                So ...
                    within each Neighborhood Service Area, the Mayor’s
                    Office convenes a Neighborhood Service Cabinet (NSC), consisting
                    of managerial representatives from every City department
                    that provides direct services to residents and businesses
                    (Police, Fire, Building and Safety, Planning, Street Services,
                    Street Lighting, Water and Power, Sanitation, Animal Services,
                    Recreation and Parks, among others). 
                      
                  These Neighborhood Service Cabinets meet on a monthly
                    basis to discuss ways to improve the coordination between
                    departments and better serve the specific needs of that Area.
                    Cabinet members also seek the input
                    of local City Councilmembers and Certified Neighborhood Councils
                as a means of improving the delivery of city services throughout
                  the region. |
