CITY ATTORNEY CANDIDATES COMING TO THE LANCC

SATURDAY, APRIL 4 TH.

LANCC Representatives, NC Members and Stakeholders:

Jack Weiss and Carmen Trutanich will be coming to our next meeting on April 4 th. In order to be certain the candidates can answer what I am sure will be many probing questions; we want them to come prepared. Send us your questions and so we can provide them to candidates in advance of the meeting. We have to have them by early next week, so get them in no later that Tuesday evening. We expect the candidate's session will run from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 with each candidate getting time to address us independent of the questioning. We'll be getting the rest of the agenda to you by early next week.

Hope to see you there. Remember, these are open meetings and we encourage you to bring other neighborhood council members and stakeholders.

Our goal is to find out what NC members and stakeholders think about the issues. We are over 40 neighborhood councils and welcome everyone to this open process. Don't be left out! Send a delegate from your neighborhood council to represent you in this important event.
