DAT E : April 3, 1986
S U B J E C T : Update re Neighborhood Councils
BACKGROUND
A few weeks ago staff was directed to review the use of Neighborhood Councils/
Associations in other cities. By coincidence the Ventura County Grand Jury is
proceeding with a directly related questionnaire. Rather than duplicating effort,
staff is currently waiting for the Grand Jury to complete its survey. In 4 to 6
weeks their resuls should be available and can be combined with the other
information that will be prepared by staff. It is estimated that a report can be
submitted to the Council prior to July 1, 1986.
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive and file.

USE OF NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCILS/ASSOCIATIONS
• Does your city have Neighborhood Councils/Associations?
If so, how many?
• Is every neighborhood represented, or given the opportunity to be represented?
• What are the benefits to your city using Neighborhood Councils/Associations?
• Briefly, what is their purpose and how do they function?
• Is the Executive Board of the Neighborhood Council/Association elected or
appointed? If appointed, by whom?
• How are the boundary lines of Neighborhood Councils/Associations determined?
By Whom?
• Is the coordinator (between city and the neighborhood) a member of city staff or a
volunteer?
• How are matters of interest to a particular neighborhood brought to the attention of
the Neighborhood Council/Association?
• What, then, is the procedure for issues raised by a Neighborhood Council/Association
to be considered by the city council?
• What weight is given to the recommendations of the Neighborhood Council/Association?
• If your city does not have Neighborhood Councils/Associations, has the idea been
considered recently?
