Neighborhood Councils - what's a BONC? ... what's a DONE?
If you're new to the concept of Neighborhood Councils we wish to
encourage you to look into them.
Essentially the Neighborhood Council system was instituted by City
Charter to give the LA resident, referred to as a "stakeholder"
(someone who lives, works or owns property in an area), a bigger
voice in local decision making.
A proposed Neighborhood Council committee submits an application
to the Board of Neighborhood Commissioners (BONC) which is their
plan for how they wish to establish their own specific council.
The staff of the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment (DONE) is
charged with assisting the BONC in any number of ways ... helping
groups prepare applications, interacting with other City Departments,
helping to set guidelines, and facilitating meetings, etc.
You may find the DONE
website (Department of Neighborhood Empowerment) interesting
and informative.
While Neighborhood Councils will have no legislative ability themselves,
they will certainly act in an advisory capacity to the City of Los
Angeles in helping understand the needs and desires of local communities,
thereby having a powerful voice which will help shape communities
they serve.
A
limited amount of financial support is to be provided each Neighborhood
Council, through a pool of money set aside in the LA city budget.
As of this writing, some 85 Neighborhood Councils have been "certified"
by the City, meaning they officially exist, with about 20 more applications
pending.
It is possible that after the dust settles we may have over 100
local Neighborhood Councils, each serving the needs of the stakeholders
in the geographic area they represent!
The residents of Los Angeles are understandably hoping this works
... giving them a meaningful voice and a much bigger say in what
happens in their local neighborhoods.
So are we ...
