PUBLIC INPUT AT NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCIL MEETINGS The public is requested dial *9, when prompted by the presiding officer, to address the Board/Committee on any agenda item before the Board takes an action on an item. Comments from the public on agenda items will be heard only when the respective item is being considered. Comments from the public on other matters not appearing on the agenda that are within the Board’s/Committee’s jurisdiction will be heard during the General Public Comment period.   Please note that under the Brown Act, the Board/Committee is prevented from acting on a matter that you bring to its attention during the General Public Comment period; however, the issue raised by a member of the public may become the subject of a future Board/Committee meeting. Public comment is limited TWO minutes per speaker, unless adjusted by the presiding officer of the Board/Committee.
 
"Out of an abundance of caution due to the possible attendance and participation of a majority of Neighborhood Council Board Members at this Joint Committee meeting, this meeting is noticed as a Special Joint Meeting of the Committees and the Board, in adherence with the State’s Brown Act. No action will be taken on behalf of the Board at this meeting of the Committees. Only Committee Members are allowed to vote"
 
The Neighborhood Council system enables meaningful civic participation for all Angelenos and serves as a voice for improving government responsiveness to local communities and their needs.
