CD 2 City Councilman Paul Krekorian to hold Townhall Meeting on the future of the Neighborhood Council System
** For the Neighborhood Council Members who are regulars here at Mayor Sam, this is an important event to attend, courtesey of our friend Jeremy Oberstein.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Event Date: Oct. 24, 2010
Contact: Jeremy Oberstein, (213) 359-8506
LOS ANGELES - Following the rousing success of his first Neighborhood Council Workshop, Councilmember Paul Krekorian is poised to host the second such town hall on Sunday, Oct. 24 on the campus of USC.
The workshop will last from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and affords neighborhood council members throughout Los Angeles who may not have had the opportunity to attend the first workshop to speak about the future of local empowerment, including the chance to help shape that movement through a series of break-out sessions.
The second Neighborhood Council Workshop follows September’s session, in which more than 100 residents hashed out the future of local democracy, during which issues such as funding, ethics and the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment (DONE) were discussed in lively group chats. The workshop will take place in the Founder’s Room of USC’s Galen Center, 3400 S. Figueroa St., Los Angeles on Sunday, Oct. 24 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
When: Sunday, Oct. 24 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Where: Founder’s Room of USC’s Galen Center, 3400 S. Figueroa St., Los Angeles.
Why: The future of the city's 92 neighborhood councils remains in doubt. While these instruments of local democracy remain vibrant tools of neighborhood empowerment, what lies ahead for their funding, ethics guidelines and the city department that oversees their operations is very much up in the air. This workshop will elicit ideas while providing a roadmap for the future of neighborhood councils throughout Los Angeles.
** Neighborhood Council Members and Angelinos need to work with Councilman Krekorian and others, to protect our Neighborhood Councils and maintain DONE as a "stand alone" department.

Paul for Mayor 2013
paul 4 mayor 2013 !
OMG, this event is at USC - WHY!!!!!!!
It is good that Mr. K is holding this meeting. One would wonder at the motive. As an active NC member there certainly are issues. Let's see the mayor's office and the city council keep cutting DONE staff, budgets and ignoring the residents. The council member pretend to listen to residents but then do what they want anyway. Those pesky NC members just get in the way of their agendas. Who cares what a neighborhood community wants or does not support if it gets in the way of larger forces it is ignored. It is my understanding that NC's were formed in response to city hall ignoring people. Has anything changed?
AT USC maybe because they are nice enough to allow Krekorian to use their facilities. Eveery other place costs a fortune. If any of the morons on city council who are running for office show up to this town hall everyone needs to send a strong message and BOO THEM. I'm sick and tired of going to meetings and having them invade and show up un invited and not on the agenda. Tom LaBonge does it all the time and insists on speaking and wasting time. Perry shows up uninvited and now Garcetti is trying to intrude. STOP THE MADNESS OF THESE BASTARDS.
Paul is a USC alumni and probably can get a room pretty easily there that can hold the volume of people that could be coming to the event. Paul is not running for Mayor or anything else in 2013 he's just going to do his job like we elected him to do. So far, he is the most promising council member. Maybe we should instead change our rant to Krekorian for Council President?
Paul K is one of the Democrats who is not Socialist.
THE NC'S NEED TO BE ABOLISHED OR GIVE TOTAL CONTROL OF THEIR OPERATION TO AREA STACKHOLDERS. THEY NEED TO PROHIBIT ANYONE WHO IS A MEMBER OF ANY ADDITIONAL ORGANIZATION ONE OF THE MANY FLAWS IN THE BI-LAWS. THE NC'S SHOULD BE RUN BY STACKHOLDERS AND THE NEED TO BE POLICED AND REGULATED. THE POLICING DONE BY NON-MEMBERS WHO LIVE IN THE COMMUNITY AND ARE STACKHOLDERS. OUTREACH STINKS BECAUSE IT'S PRESENTLY IN THE INTERESTS OF THESE MEMBERS TO KEEP PEOPLE OUT. YOU GET MORE FOR YOU FRIENDS THAT WAY. IT'S ANOTHER FORM OF CORRUPTION DONE BY YOUR CIVIC MINDED NEIGHBORS. KEEP IN MIND THAT IF YOU ATTEND MEETINGS THEY CONTROL WHAT YOU SAY OR CAN DO. NOT VERY AMERICAN IS IT. THAT'S THE POINT. THIS IS WHY REAL REFORM IS NEEDED. THE PEOPLE MUST BE ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS IN THIS PROCESS OTHERWISE IT'S A FAILURE THAT WON'T END. TOO MUCH MONEY IS INVOLVED CITYWIDE WITH 100 COUNCILS GETTING THIS OPEN ACCOUNT AT A TIME WHEN YOUR NEEDED SERVICES ARE BEING CUT. THINK ABOUT IT.
