ATWATER VILLAGE NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCIL YEARLY BUDGET GETS SLASHED 10% BY MAYOR ANTONIO VILLARAIGOSA
The Atwater Village Neighborhood Council (AVNC) will get their operating budget for Fiscal Year 2009-2010 slashed 10% from $50,000.00 to $45,000.00.
The AVNC is a primary financial benefactor for many Atwater Village community events and beautification projects. A 10% reduction in the AVNC yearly budget will most likely limit which events and beautification projects actually get funded.
Mayor Villaraigosa submitted a budget proposal to the City Council's Budget and Finance Committee and is currently under review. The Mayor's proposed budget specifically included a 10% reduction in the Neighborhood Council Funding Program. The proposed reduction in NC funding will affect all 89 neighborhood council including the AVNC.
