In 1999, the new Los Angeles City Charter created neighborhood councils as quasi city entities to advise those in government who are making decisions that affect our lives. During the neighborhood council certification process, the City was divided into many geographic areas and a neighborhood council in each area was empowered to represent the respective communities. Harbor Gateway North Neighborhood Council (HGNNC) was certified on November 12, 2002 to serve every person having a stake within its borders.

The mission of the Harbor Gateway North Neighborhood Council is to provide an inclusive open forum for public discussion of issues concerning City governance, the needs of this neighborhood council, the delivery of City services to this neighborhood council, and on matters of a Citywide nature.

All of the Board and committee meetings are open to the public and provide you with an opportunity to speak. The board procedures are more formal than committee meetings so your time to address the Board may be limited. Committee meetings are generally informal, and discussions between participants are commonplace. This is important because the heart of Neighborhood Council work happens at committee meetings.

Our Bylaws describe the composition of the 17-member Board of Directors, with a representation breakdown by Stakeholder Categories: eight (8) geographic areas; or, by sector of interest, including Residents; Business Interests; Community, Youth, and Faith Based interests.

According to the Bylaws, a Community Stakeholder is defined as any individual who lives, works or owns property within the boundaries of HGNNC.
