Blogger/NC member Zach Behrens on Sherman Oaks NC's $50,000
Zach Behrens, blogger at his own site and Laist, and Sherman Oaks Neighborhood Council member answers my previous query on just what the neighborhood councils are doing with the $50,000 they get per year from the city.
Turns out the Sherman Oaks Neighborhood Council really hasn't spent much, if any of what is now a $100,000 pile. As I learned at the Van Nuys Neighborhood Council meeting, there's an upper limit on how much cash a NC can accrue -- and according to what was said at the VNNC, that amount is $100,000.
Zach has an idea for his NC's cash:
With the new board slate, we haven't spent any money yet. Next week, I may bring a motion to the board to spend $20,000 on LAPD surveillance cameras for Ventura Blvd. and the Cedros Parking Lot (we would be purchasing 1 of 5 cameras in collaboration with a few other organizations). $20,000 is 40% of the annual budget, but SONC has a surplus of money, which I believe is over $100,000.
