CRA MOTION

Whereas, community advisory committees provide input on planning and land use matters to the city’s Community Redevelopment Agency; and

Whereas, these committees’ actions can greatly influence the lives of stakeholders and the future of an area; and

Whereas, neighborhood councils are also charged with advising city government and monitoring the performance of its agencies with regard to their impact on stakeholders; and

Whereas, cooperation amongst these entities and desire to not duplicate effort and unnecessarily burden individuals appearing before these bodies;

Therefore be it resolved, the Northwest San Pedro Neighborhood Council requests that the Council be provided at least one seat on the Pacific Corridor CRA Community Advisory Committee. 

Furthermore, the NWSPNC requests that the Los Angeles City Council amend the ordinance governing CRA community advisory committees to require that neighborhood councils within whose boundaries a specific CRA community advisory committee lies be provided at least one appointment to that committee.

Passed by unanimous vote.
