INVITATION TO ALL ANGELENOS-The Neighborhood Council Budget Advocates invite all Los Angeles residents and stakeholders to their annual Budget Day at City Hall on Saturday, June 23rd, 2018.

Speakers will include City Council President Herb Wesson, City Councilmember and Chair of the Budget and Finance Committee Paul Krekorian, Controller Ron Galperin, and Chief Administrative Officer Rich Llewellyn. They and others will give us an overview of the City Budget process and its impact on services, including street repairs, tree trimming, and other services that affect our neighborhoods.

This will be followed by breakout sessions to discuss regional concerns and ways to prioritize the needs of our communities. Everybody’s input is welcome.

The event will start in the 3rd floor rotunda of Los Angeles’ City Hall with registration at 7:00 a.m. A free hot and cold breakfast buffet will be served from 7:30 to 8:15. The plenary sessions will begin at 8:30 in the John Ferraro Council Chamber.

The regional sessions will begin at 10:30 and will conclude with elections of Budget Advocates by Budget Representatives from Neighborhood Councils across the city, replacing those who have stepped down.

Everyone who lives and/or works in greater Los Angeles is invited to participate. Please RSVP at: http://bit.ly/budgetday2018 or at <http://ncbala.com/> Directions and details on parking will be provided to people after they RSVP.

*(John DiGregorio is Vice Chair of Communications Neighborhood Council Budget Advocate Committee.)*
