MacArthur Park Neighborhood Council approves 2024–25 administrative budget, including $6,000 outreach rollover

President Andrew Wolff opened the Sept. 25 special board meeting and the Council approved its 2024–25 administrative budget as presented. The packet passed with accruals of $32,239.94, a rollover balance of $14,311.06 and a total budget of $46,551.00; the board recorded authorization to allocate up to $6,000 of rollover funds to outreach efforts.

The motion to adopt the budget was moved by Andrew Wolff and seconded by Margarita Lopez; the recorded vote was Ayes 8, Nays 0, Abstentions 0, Absent 5. The action appeared on the agenda under VII.b and is recorded in the meeting minutes as carrying on the board vote. The budget item followed an earlier motion approving a City Clerk Missing Receipt Affidavit related to two food receipts totaling $1,310.72.

Board members discussed the outreach allocation as part of the rollover funds; the minutes note the allocation but do not record extended debate or additional amendments in the transcript. Next steps listed in the record are administrative: implementing the adopted budget and incorporating the outreach allocation into the MPNC outreach planning.
