Where’s Our Neighborhood Council?
The months-long saga of the change in leadership
in the Grass Roots Venice Neighborhood Council (GRVNC) may be concluded soon.
As you may recall (no pun intended) an
election was held at Westminster School on June 28. It was sandwiched between
two rounds of absentee voting. After the vote council on July 25 - which the
Progressive slate won decisively - some of the losing candidates and their
supporters filed challenges to the
election.
The Los Angeles Department of
Neighborhood Empowerment (DONE), which decides such things, has been
deliberating ever since.
On Sept. 2, a
letter was sent to the remaining 11 GRVNC board members who were not up for
reelection this year, stating that a meeting should be convened between Sept. 12
an Oct. 1 to hear the final report of DONE on the disposition of the challenges
and to answer questions from the board and the
public.
At press time, no meeting date had
been set.

California’s Ralph M. Brown Open Meetings Act, notices have to be posted
