According to an email from the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment (DONE), the
City of Los Angeles is looking for a new general manager to lead the city’s troubled
Neighborhood Council’s enforcement department. The salary range is $173,345 to $307,
395 and the deadline for applications is Friday December 8, 2023.
The general manager will head a staff of 33 in the department, which was designed to
support LA’s Neighborhood Council system, which consists of 99 Neighborhood Councils
that form a grassroots arm of the City of Los Angeles government. The position is
currently held by Interim General Manager Vanessa Serrano.
The previous general manager, Raquel Beltran, resigned at the request of Mayor Karen
Bass in March after a well-publicized spending controversy. There was a record-low
turnout for Neighborhood Council elections in 2023.
