Welcome
to the Advisory Neighborhood Commission 6D Web site.
Background. The
Advisory Neighborhood Commission is an elected body that considers a wide range
of issues affecting the Southwest/Near Southeast community, including zoning,
liquor licenses, recreation, traffic and parking, police protection and public
safety, economic development, sanitation and trash, and street improvement.
The
purpose of the Commission is to provide an official link between our community
and District government. The Commission is made up of representatives of
each of the neighborhoods (Single Member Districts) within the community.
Commissioners are elected every two years, and serve as unpaid volunteers.
The
Commission presents its positions and recommendations to District government
agencies, the Executive branch, and the City Council. It can also present
testimony to independent agencies, boards and commissions. By the DC law
governing Advisory Neighborhood Commissions, such testimony must be given
“great weight” when agencies render decisions.
Your Commissioner. Residents
are urged to contact their Commissioner when they have concerns or comments
specific to their neighborhood.
Committees. The ANC has three committees, Development and Planning, Alcoholic
Beverage Control, and Community Outreach.
They are made up of representatives of each Single Member District, and
meet monthly to discuss issues coming before the ANC. The public is welcome to attend the committee
meetings. For more information, visit the Committees page
of the website.
Citizen
comment is
welcomed and encouraged, but you must contact the ANC office (554-1795) 48
hours in advance of the meeting to be put on the agenda. Under
ANC 6D rules, comment from the audience is also allowed on any topic if a
motion is on the floor. All ANC business is done in
public (including "housekeeping"' chores such as financial reports
and approving official correspondence) so meetings can run late. Time limits for comments are enforced to allow everyone an
opportunity to speak. It's often helpful to contact
your Commissioner prior to a meeting to discuss your concerns or requests.
