Report on meeting with NC Liaisons

City Controller Laura Chick's Neighborhood Council Liaison meeting - Follow-up

7/14/04

Thank you for attending Saturday's meeting of my NC Liaison group. I am very excited by the issues we decided to focus on after a lively discussion. I have already begun work on the action items from our meeting.

Those items are as follows:

• I will facilitate a meeting with the Planning Department o I will facilitate a meeting with City staff regarding funding/payment policies and procedures for Neighborhood Councils.

• I will send the report on the Early Notification System upgrade, as well as an update on the status of the proposed improvements. This is the first step in pushing for better communication.

• I will keep you up to date on my efforts to include language in voter-approved bonds that would require and fund regular audits of bond fund project expenditures.

• I will assist in facilitating the dissemination of information regarding Inclusionary Zoning.

In keeping with the last action item, attached to this are two documents with information regarding inclusionary zoning. The first (below) is an email that was sent from the Planning Department to Neighborhood Councils with a listing of briefings the Department will be making to each of the Area Planning Commissions on inclusionary zoning. I hope all of you, and your Council's planning experts, can attend.

The second document is a matrix from Councilmember Garcetti's website (download the pfd file below) that breaks down the various components of the proposed inclusionary zoning ordinance.

I am already hard at work on all of these items and will contact you with further information. If you have any questions please contact:
