Hahn wants departments to work with neighborhoods

One day after the City Council decided to require Neighborhood Council leaders to fill out disclosure forms to create agenda items, a City Council member asked the Planning Department to work more closely with the groups.
Councilwoman Janice Hahn, in a proposal to the council. asked the Planning Department to create a task force to look at the issue.
Hahn said she hoped to see an agreement reached similar to the one with the Department of Water and Power to keep neighborhood councils in the loop of information.
Several other cities agencies are in the process of developing memorandum of understanding with the Neighborhood Councils.
."It really is all about land use in this city. And neighborhood
councils have a right to get information from city departments in a
timely manner so that their input can be taken into consideration,"
Hahn said.
