With the failure of Measure A in last week's election, the city's 95 neighborhood councils are being asked to weigh in on a proposal to either cancel their elections next year or pay up to 20 percent of their annual $37,500 budget to cover the costs.
Jay Handal, chairman of the Neighborhood Council Budget Advocates, said Monday the proposal is another example of the city's disrespect toward the neighborhood councils and is prompting a consideration of a lawsuit.
"Every year, they come in and sweep out the money not spent, which means a lot of councils rush out to spend their budget on questionable projects just so they don't have to give it back to the city."
