Your Government

We have a right to expect the Advisory Neighborhood Commission to meet certain basic obligations to constituents. ANC 2C01 Commissioner Alex Padro drafted the following "ANC Bill of Rights" to clarify certain minimum requirements that the Commission should meet. Most are required by law.

1. You have the right to receive advance notice of when and where the ANC will meet each month.


2. You have the right to receive a copy of the proposed agenda for the ANC’s monthly meeting in advance.


3. You have the right to attend the monthly ANC meeting to express your opinions on matters being considered by the Commission.


4. You have the right to know what decisions the ANC has made that may affect you, your family, and your neighbors.


5. You have the right to know how the Commission spends the budget it receives from your tax dollars.

As ANC 2C02 Commissioner, Kevin Chapple with work with Commissioner Padro to ensure that these basic items act as guiding principals for the ANC to be able to effectively and professionally represent the community’s interests and keep residents aware of what is happening that affects us here in Shaw.
