Sec. 22.810.1. Regulations Implementing the Plan for a Citywide System of Neighborhood Councils (Plan).

e. The Commission shall act on the de-certification within ten days after the expiration of the 15-day notice period, unless the Commission’s next regularly scheduled meeting does not fall within this ten day period or unless the Commission and the Neighborhood Council agree to an extension of time. The Commission may de-certify a Neighborhood Council based upon a finding that the evidence set forth in Paragraph (A), above, has been shown and a finding that 3/4 of the governing body of the Neighborhood Council has consented to the de-certification. If the Commission approves the petition, the Neighborhood Council shall be de-certified and will no longer be officially recognized as a certified Neighborhood Council in the City of Los Angeles and shall return all City-owned resources, including unexpended City- appropriated funds, to the City within five days after the City has made its final decision to decertify the Neighborhood Council. (D) Appeals. If the Commission disapproves the petition, the Neighborhood Council may file an appeal pursuant to the provisions of Article VI, Section 6(f) of the Plan. The City Council may, by ten votes, sustain, reverse or modify the Commission’s decision to deny decertification of the Neighborhood Council. (f) Early Notification System (ENS). (1) ENS Website. The Department may assist the Information Technology Agency in coordinating the development of an ENS website through which information may be made available to certified Neighborhood Councils by the City Council, its committees, and City boards and commissions. (2) Procedures for Sharing City Information with and Receiving Comment from Neighborhood Councils. (A) Information from the City should be sent to certified Neighborhood Councils as soon as practical so that certified Neighborhood Councils are afforded as much opportunity as is practical to provide comment before decisions are made. (B) Certified Neighborhood Councils may provide comment and feedback to the City Council, its committees, and to City boards and commissions by using the ENS. (C) The Neighborhood Council may communicate its views either by way of mailed letter, fax, electronic mail (e-mail), or by a representative appearing in person to make a presentation on an item before the City’s decision-makers.
