Community Impact Statement on Mobility Plan
On August 11, 2015 the Los Angeles City Council adopted Mobility Plan 2035 as the first update to the City’s General Plan Transportation Element since 1999. The Plan calls for a comprehensive and connected network of pedestrian, bike, transit, and vehicle facilities. However, only 3% of the bike lane miles have been completed over six years later
MINC approved a CIS calling for implementation to be made compulsory if Los Angeles is to achieve the vision of a diverse, sustainable, safe, and efficient road network for all Angelenos.
Community Impact Statement on lobbying notifications
Under section 48.08.8 of the current lobbying ordinance, a lobbyist disclosure is only required for written communications to neighborhood councils. The ordinance should be updated to include the same disclosure when a lobbyist makes an oral presentation or public comment to a neighborhood council that is related to their lobbying efforts.
MINC approved a CIS to this effect and has submitted it to City Council.
Community Impact Statement on CF 20-0963 Neighborhood Council Elections / Fiscal Year 2020-21 / COVID-19 Pandemic
The Reseda Neighborhood Council has uncovered some very questionable financial decisions made by the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment regarding the last election. MINC would like additional information and supports asking DONE and the contracted organizations to provide more detailed documentation about election spending prior to requests for the 2023 budget to be considered as a million dollars is being requested for the next election. The last election had low turnout and other issues. MINC approved a CIS expressing concern and requesting more information to be made public.

It helps LAFD and other first responders if you are self sufficient during these incidents.
