Get Involved With YOUR Neighborhood Council > Coastal San Pedro | Central San Pedro | Harbor City | Wilmington

November 12, 2007 - Motion Re: 912 Commission Recommendations

A motion was presented and an amendment was requested.  After discussion, the amended motion (wording below) was moved by John Greenwood and seconded by Cpt. George Thompson and then passed unanimously by the Board:

Whereas, the NWSPNC has since its inception conducted board elections annually, with voters choosing roughly half its members each year, and

Whereas, the annual arrangement was selected to provide continuity, group mentoring, and the potential for revising membership as needed on an annual basis, and

Whereas, the 912 Commission is recommending to the City Council a suggested revision which would mandate the city clerk to conduct elections for neighborhood councils every other year, during even numbered years, and

Whereas, the NWSPNC believes annual elections help it achieve its best and highest service to the community, now

Therefore, the NWSPNC opposes the recommendations of the 912 Commission.
