Public Access to Records

The Department of Neighborhood Empowerment requires that all neighborhood council agendas include language informing the public of their right to access government records as ensured by the California Public Records Act (CPRA).

To assure compliance with their regulations, the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment will not publish an agenda that does not include this information.

Example CPRA notice:
