DONE GEN’L MGR BONGHWAN KIM TENDERS RESIGNATION

admin — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 01:43:40 +0000

In his letter to Mayor Villaraigosa, BH Kim stated “I support the consolidation of our department with the Community Development Department (CDD) understanding that the General Manager for CDD will become the General Manager for the new department that includes Neighborhood Empowerment, I will no longer be serving in this position effective upon this appointment or June 30, 2010, whichever comes first.” Download the letter here: BH Kim Letter

Mayor Expected To Announce Dismantling of DONE

admin — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 22:55:42 +0000

Lots of neighborhood council news circulated this weekend and this piece from Curbed LA effectively brings many of the voices together:

The Daily News’ Rick Orlov reports that today Mayor Villaraigosa is expected to announce that the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment, which oversees Neighborhood Councils, will be folded into another agency. Via the news: “A recommendation to the mayor on Sunday calls for placing the Department of Neighborhood Empowerment, or DONE, within the Community Development Department and reducing its staff from 42 to about a dozen. DONE has a total budget of $3.2 million. Under the action, DONE General Manger BH Kim is expected to step down as director. Responsibility for the agency will be placed with CDD Director Richard Benbow.” As previously reported by other papers, there’s been strange screw-ups recently at the agency ($880,000 in unaccounted credit card purchases, for instance). And while admitting that he’s “not a fan of DONE’s performance,” Our LA.org OpEd writer Noel Weiss questions the legality and protocol of folding one city agency into another.
