Whereas the Neighborhood Council Review Commission Draft recommendation for stakeholder definition is as follows: “Plan to be amended to state that stakeholder status in neighborhood councils shall be open to those who live, work, or own property in the Neighborhood and also to those who declare a stake in the neighborhood and affirm the factual basis for it.” and

Whereas the phrase “declare a stake in the neighborhood” is very broad and not defined; and

Whereas the lack of a definition may lead to numerous challenges during the election process; and

Whereas some Neighborhood Councils desire to include stakeholder groups beyond those who “live, work, or own property in the Neighborhood,”

Now Therefore be it Resolved that the Northwest San Pedro Neighborhood Council recommends that the proposed stakeholder definition be revised to read as follows:
“Plan to be amended to state that stakeholder status in neighborhood councils shall at a minimum be open to those who live, work, or own property in the Neighborhood.”
