Northwest San Pedro Neighborhood Council

Neighborhood Council/DWP MOU

The following Motion was made, seconded and passed unanimously by the Board March 14, 2005:

Motion: That the NWSPNC support the establishment of a Memorandum of Understanding between the Neighborhood Councils and the LA Department of Water and Power and authorize the President, John Greenwood, to sign such an agreement provided it is basically as outlined herein.

Representatives of a number of Neighborhood Councils met with the Department of Water and Power and developed the MOU. The Neighborhood Council/DWP MOU provides for:

• Early notification and input on matters such as changes in delivery of services, rate increases, short and long term planning, and significant improvement projects
• DWP regional liaisons to work directly with Neighborhood Councils
• Participation in the DWP budget process, including budget training workshops
• Education and training regarding the organization and operation of DWP
• The ability to monitor the delivery services to our neighborhood
• Annual meetings in each of the 7 Neighborhood Council areas where stakeholders can bring matters of concern directly to the attention of the DWP management.

The MOU would be a two-year document, subject to review at the end of that time. All Neighborhood Councils are being given the opportunity to sign it. A committee will be established to provide oversight to the implementation of the MOU.
