BHNC Budget & Finance Committee Meeting

September 16, 2015 at 6:00pm
Boyle Heights City Hall, 4th fl. 
2130 E. 1st St., LA, CA 90033

Agenda: http://www.bhnc.net/wp-content/uploads/docs/BudgetA_2015-09-16.pdf

Item(s) of Interest:
Community Partners for Los Fotos Project (NPG) Neighborhood Purpose Grant - 5$k

     This should be a relative short meeting.  If you click the link you will notice that the Los Fotos NPG is about the only thing really being discussed.  These meetings are generally "accounting" meetings. There is a section allotted for public comment, which is completely open to anything you wish to speak.  However, please keep comments related to the topic of the committee.  And like other meetings during General Public Comment, we can't address the items mentioned.  But document, maybe move the information to the proper committee/group.   

     If you looked at the agenda, you may have noticed that my name is listed there as an "officer."  So to clarify my position in the Council.  Although i did run for the BHNC almost two years ago, and was asked to fill in for a vacant seat this year, i am not ON the council.  I am however on the Planning and Land Use Committee (PLUC), and the Budget & Finance Committee (no acronym).

     With the B&FC (BAFC? BaFC?), we mainly review and allocate the money and money requests (NPG) of the allotted money that the Council is given.  To carry out expenses like the coffee at the meetings, translators, event booths, etc.  Or special projects.  The special projects are the ones that you come up with, the community.  The money is given to spend on the community, to benefit the community and if we don't spend it it goes back to the city.
