A Status Report On Neighborhood Councils In L.A.
A report evaluates the "successes and shortcomings" of the three year old Los Angeles Neighborhood Council system.
The report by the USC Neighborhood Participation Project examines city expenditures; membership diversity and demographics (income, constituency, homeowner/renter ratios, length of time in community, race/ethnicity); policy concerns; organizational capacity; meeting attendance; perception of councils by city council staffers; and other factors. The report synthesizes the findings, presenting conclusions and recommendations.
