(Latest news of the HHPNC and the Neighborhood Council system)

 

April 27th, 2003

  • Rockview Dairy - The HHPNC, at its April 24th Board & Community Meeting voted to support Monte Vista Elementary School in its efforts to reduce the nuisance and public health & safety concern for its students caused by the Rockview Dairy located across the street from Monte Vista Elementary.  Grown men, mostly intoxicated, hang around the dairy harassing and making children uncomfortable.  One child claims they have been robbed by these men.  The Board of Directors thus took up the communities concern passing a resolution that is to be forwarded to our City Council Representatives (Districts 1 & 14) asking that this issue be placed on their agenda for resolution.

Convention Center on Saturday April 5th, 2003.  Mayor James Hahn, City Council Members, City Department Heads & over 60 other Neighborhood Councils were all in attendance.  Workshops on governing basics to funding for Neighborhood Councils were all very educational and informative.  It is anticipated that the knowledge gained by your Board of Directors will be put into action in developing a "Policy Agenda" for the upcoming year and an implementation plan to realize our policy goals.
