The Chatsworth Neighborhood Council is one of 96 elected boards of volunteers established by the City Charter. Each Neighborhood Council advises the local council member, City Council, city Planning Department, zoning administrators, and other officials regarding public policy affecting their communities. Neighborhood Councils are funded by the city for civic improvements and community engagement.
