Empower La, Department of Neighborhood Empowerment
Board Member Code of Conduct

Neighborhood Council Board Members should conduct themselves in a professional and civil manner.

Neighborhood Council Board Members should treat other Board Members and members of the public with respect regardless of the other’s opinion, ethnicity, race, religion, religious belief or non-belief, color, creed, national origin, ancestry, sex, sexual orientation, gender, gender expression, age, disability, marital status, income, homeowner status, renter status or political affiliation.

Neighborhood Council Board Members should not, during meetings, functions or events engage in or threaten to engage in any physical attack on any other individual.

Neighborhood Council Board Members should not use language that is threatening, obscene, or slanderous, including profanities, insults or other disparaging remarks or gestures directed toward other Board Members.

Neighborhood Council Board Members should promote and, if necessary, enforce a safe meeting environment. If other Board Members become disruptive or violate the Code of Conduct Neighborhood Council Board Members have agreed to abide by, Board Members should demand that the offending Board Member conduct themselves in a respectful and orderly manner.

Neighborhood Council Board Members should not engage in “bullying” or harassment which is generally defined as follows:

a) “Bullying” is conduct that meets all of the following criteria:

is reasonably perceived as being dehumanizing, intimidating, hostile, threatening, or otherwise likely to evoke fear of physical harm or emotional distress,
is directed at one or more Board Members,

iii. is conveyed through physical, verbal, or technological means,

substantially interferes with participation opportunities, benefits, or programs of one or more Board Members at Neighborhood Council sponsored activities or events,
adversely affects the ability of a Board Member to participate in or benefit from the Neighborhood Council programs or activities by placing the Board Member in reasonable fear of physical harm or by causing emotional distress; and,
is based on a Board Member’s actual or perceived protected characteristic (see 2 above) or is based on an association with another person who has or is perceived to have any of these characteristics.

b) “Harassment” is conduct that meets all of the following criteria:

is reasonably perceived as being dehumanizing, intimidating, hostile, threatening, or otherwise likely to evoke fear of physical harm or emotional distress,

iii. is conveyed through physical, verbal, or technological means,

substantially interferes with participation opportunities, benefits, or programs of one or more Board Members at Neighborhood Council sponsored activities or events,

is based on a Board Member’s actual or perceived protected characteristic (see 2 above) or is based on an association with another person who has or is perceived to have any of these characteristics.

I have read and understand the Neighborhood Council Board Member Code of Conduct. I understand that if I fail to provide the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment with a signed and dated copy of this Neighborhood Council Board Member Code of Conduct, I may be subjected to suspension and/or removal from my Neighborhood Council Board.

WHWCNC Code of Civility, Standing Rule 19

(SR – 19) Each member of the Neighborhood Council and everyone attending any of its meetings and/or functions shall follow the Neighborhood Council Code of Civility, and the BONC Board Member Code of Conduct as follows.
The Neighborhood Council Code of Civility and the BONC Board Member Code of Conduct shall be posted on the Neighborhood Council website. All persons in attendance at meetings are expected to abide by the Neighborhood Council Code of Civility.

WOODLAND HILLS-WARNER CENTER NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCIL
CODE OF CIVILITY

Collectively and individually, all elected, appointed, or selected members of the WH-WCNC agree to abide by the Code of Civility to ensure that our NC’s business is conducted in respectful and courteous manner and in a manner that will generate respect and credibility for our NC.
The Freedom to express one’s views about public matters is cornerstone of the democratic process.

The WH-WCNC welcomes the diverse views and opinions of our board members and stakeholders as they relate to the issues before us. In order for these discussions to be meaningful and effective, we shall treat others with courtesy and dignity.

By adoption of the code of civility and by incorporating this code of civility into our Standing Rules, we collectively and individually agree to abide by our Code of Civility.

As representatives of the WH-WCNC, we shall conduct ourselves in a professional manner, including treating each member of the Board and members of the public with esteem and deference.

During Neighborhood Council meetings, functions, or events we will not engage in or threaten to engage in any verbal or physical attach on any individual. We will not use language or physical gestures that are abusive, threatening, intimidating, obscene, or slanderous including using profanities, insults, or other disparaging remarks. We believe that derogatory language about an individual’s ethnicity, race, sexuality, age, disability, or religion is not acceptable.

We will promote and enforce a safe meeting environment at all times. If members of the Board or the public become disruptive and violate the code of civility, we will join our fellow Board members in demanding that the person(s) conduct themselves in a respectful and orderly manner even if we do not agree with the point of view being expressed.

The President will have the authority to mitigate the disruption by any reasonable and professional manner available to them.

We will commit to communicate our ideas and points of view clearly and allow others to do the same without interruption. We will practice the art of being able to disagree without being disagreeable.

We will commit to learn the applicable laws that govern Neighborhood Councils, including, but not limited to, the bylaws, standing rules, meeting procedures, the Brown Act, conflict of interest laws, applicable city ordinances, and the City Charter, and will not knowingly violate any of them thereby fostering and maintaining a professional environment for conducting business.

We will present information truthfully, and will not knowingly misrepresent, mischaracterize, misstate, or misquote information received from others.

If we find ourselves representing our personal interests before our community’s interests, we will publicly disclose the differences and recuse ourselves from voting on such matters, and we will ask for advice from the City Attorney wherever we have doubts.

We will commit to good faith efforts to resolve grievances that come before the Board as specified in the Bylaws or Standing Rules.

Out of respect to our fellow Board members, the public, and the decision makers who we are trying to influence, we will make the best possible effort to understand the issues before us.

Discussion and possible action: (10 minutes)

Motion for the board to approve the Neighborhood Purpose Grant (NPG) submitted by Calabash Charter Academy Parents Teachers Organization (PTO), in the amount of $1700 from the WHWCNC budget line item (General NPG Fund). This grant will be used to directly pay for the necessities of providing science education and open the opportunity to bring Stem and VEX programs to the school.

This grant will be used to directly pay for the necessities of providing science education and opportunities for learning for a public elementary school in Woodland Hills through the purchasing of science kits.
The grant will benefit the children with opportunities for hands on learning and participation in a group science lesson using materials beyond computers and books.
These science kits contain educational materials vital to learning science in an
engaging manner, which is something all school children have missed due to the pandemic.
This grant will greatly help in making sure that all students have access to high level and
engaging science lessons to any student in our community. Our science education is free and
many of our students’ families cannot afford to help pay for necessities.
This grant would help
us meet the needs of our diverse community while providing an uplifting opportunity for children
to connect and learn together even though they may not be in the same classroom.

21055 Topochico Drive – new home

Discussion and possible action: (15 minutes)

As pertains to CaseZA-2021-8126-ZAD-ZAA; ENV-2021-8127-CE, having held 2 virtual public meetings for the application filed by Jeon & Chun Development, LLC, to build a 3-story 2,847 square foot residence, an enclosed 400 sq. ft. two-car garage and three onsite, uncovered parking spaces located at 21055 Topochico Drive, in the Girard Tract, Woodland Hills, CA 91364 the Planning, Land Use and Mobility Committee here by finds that:

WHEREAS, the Applicant has designed and submitted a proposed single-family residence project that substantially complies with the applicable regulations, findings, standards, and provisions of the Girard Tract Specific Plan, the Mulholland Scenic Parkway Specific Plan, and the Baseline Hillside Ordinance; and

WHEREAS, the subject property is in a partially developed area with 9 undeveloped neighboring lots and where the subject property is the first to be approved in the immediate area; and

WHEREAS, the project is requesting relief from LAMC 12.21.C10(a)(2) and (13) 2, which require a front yard setback minimum. The Applicant seeks relief from the five (5) foot front yard setback for an additional proposed subterranean portion of the proposed house.

WHEREAS, the request under consideration seeks a zero front yard line involving a retaining wall required to support an active roadway that will also be part of the subject residence. The PLUM committee is not qualified to determine whether or not a zero front yard lot line is appropriate or safe. Further, the Zoning Administrator and City Planning have the expertise and duty to determine it is structurally safe to permit a street retaining wall as part of a home.

The Applicant seeks a variance due to practical difficulties of removing all existing utility services at the neighboring property to Mulholland Drive and therefore receives approval by a Zoning Administrator under Section 12.24 X.28. of this Code.

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT,
The Woodland Hills Warner Center Neighborhood Council, PLUM committee DENIES in part and SUPPORTS in part and the application for the requested relief from;

The PLUM Committee recommends DENYING the requested relief from LAMC Sections LAMC 21.C10(a)(2) and (13) 2, which requires Front and Side yard setback minimums, and

SUPPORTS the requested relief from LAMC 12.21.C.10(i)(3), which requires the owner of a new single-family dwelling on a Lot shall improve the street to a minimum 20-foot wide continuous paved roadway from the driveway apron that provides access to the main residence to Mulholland Drive, and

FURTHER, the Planning, Land Use, and Mobility Committee, for the findings and conditions stated above, finds that the submitted request receives the DENIAL in part and SUPPORT in part of the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council.
The Planning, Land Use, and Mobility Committee recommend that the Board of the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council advise the City of Los Angeles Planning Department and Council District 3 Councilmember Bob Blumenfield of its findings and its subsequent DENY in part and SUPPORT in part this application as presented to the WHWCNC Board on February 9, 2022

Item No (12) Woodland Hills Issues & Policy Committee [WHIP] – Heath Kline, Chair
(22-027) Motion & CF 20-0963 CIS in support of Reseda NC’s CIS and call for public explanation and accounting of DONE’s 2021 NC election outreach, oversight, and spending activities.

Discussion & possible action: (15 minutes)
Whereas by unanimous vote, the WHIP Committee asks the full WHWCNC Board to read the attached and (link) Community Impact Statement [CIS], including its embedded links to exhibits filed by the Reseda NC. The Reseda CIS documents how DONE mismanaged its vendor selection, vendor oversight, and payments in connection with the 2021 NC election outreach. By way of example:

Selected & paid unqualified vendors for services at far above market rates of qualified vendors for such services. Issued “no-bid” contracts to vendors for services outside their usual scope of work when multiple qualified vendors could have bid and performed the services.
Paid vendors for outreach who targeted young children rather than eligible adult (over 18) potential NC candidates and voters.
Selected, contracted & paid vendors for election outreach after the 2021 NC election cycle had passed.
Paid vendors for 2021election outreach for NC’s that were not holding elections in 2021 and for NC’s that did not exist.
Provided no election outreach & promotion for NCs who were having elections in 2021
Paid vendors for services not performed despite such services being the basis of the vendor’s bid and agreed upon statement of work or contract with the City that was negotiated by DONE and reviewed and paid by the City Clerk.

NOW, THEREFORE, based on the finding documented and reported by, and questions raised by the Reseda NC and in addition the questions and moving forward concerns of the WHWCNC, the WHWCNC passes the following CIS and letter to City officials:
February 10, 2022

RE: CF 20-0963 (Neighborhood Council Elections/Fiscal Year 2020-21/Covid Pandemic)

COMMUNITY IMPACT STATEMENT
The Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council [WHWCNC] echoes the concerns expressed by Reseda Neighborhood Council (link) and other NCs in the Council File regarding the spending patterns and failures of oversight by the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment [DONE] and the City Clerk’s Office for the 2021 Neighborhood Council elections and their impact on candidate recruitment and voter engagement.
Neighborhood Councils function as the closest level of government for four million residents of Los Angeles. City agencies and departments must give NC Elections the same scrutiny and effort as other City Office elections.
As documented by the Reseda NC, leadership failures by the DONE permeated the 2021 election cycle. Given that the Department requested one million dollars for the upcoming election cycle, the WHWCNC agrees that DONE and the City Clerk provide further information regarding their stewardship of resources in the previous election cycle after a careful and thorough examination of public documents.
The WHWCNC reiterates Reseda Neighborhood Council’s sentiments and similarly requests a detailed written accounting from DONE and the City Clerk’s Office with backup documents of the money spent and the money remaining from the $456,000 allocated to the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment for the 2021 election by February 28, 2022. If they cannot meet this deadline, we request a partial response by this date, including a commitment to a complete reply and a statement of when we will receive a full response.
WHWCNC further requests that the Board of Neighborhood Commissioners address this Community Impact Statement in writing by February 28, 2022.
Due to the failed outreach, lack of proper oversight, and ineffective use of public funds, the WHWCNC requests a detailed response from DONE and the City Clerk explaining all the expenditures, vendors used, vendor contracts, and proof of performance concerning the 2021 elections, including a breakout of the WHWCNC-Region 3 election activities and expenditures.
WHWCNC further requests that the City Clerk’s Office and the City Controller’s Office review whether there was adequate review of DONE payment requests and vendor proof of performance for 2021 Neighborhood Council Elections expenditures against contract or scope of work agreements before the Clerk’s payment of public funds to NC election vendors.
The WHWNC requests that the City Council Arts, Parks, Health, Education, and Neighborhood Committee reopen this council file and put the findings from the attached Reseda Neighborhood Council report on its agenda for discussion and appropriate action.

Finally, the WHWCNC requests that any future NC election-related public outreach be coordinated by region-election cycle, in conjunction with the affected Neighborhood Councils, concerning planning the appropriate formats and messages for public outreach, plus choosing proper media, and qualifying the vendors for election-related services. These activities were inadequate or absent for 2021. Furthermore, the planning and subsequent contracting for election-related public outreach should start a year before elections to be conducted effectively and timely. Ideally, public participation outreach should be an ongoing, year-round activity with professionally qualified staffing to match.
Attached is the complete statement & report from Reseda Neighborhood Council.
This CIS motion was brought before the WHWCNC Board at its February 9, 2022, meeting and passed with the following Board vote:
Sincerely,
Joyce Fletcher, President
Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council
Enclosure: Reseda Neighborhood Council’s CIS (including full report) submitted on 01/18/2022
