ANC 6A Purpose
The Advisory
Neighborhood Commissions consider a wide range of policies and programs
affecting their neighborhoods, including traffic, parking, recreation,
street improvements, liquor licenses, zoning, economic development, police
protection, sanitation and trash collection, and the District's annual
budget.
In each of these areas,
the intent of the ANC legislation is to ensure input from an advisory
board that is made up of the residents of the neighborhoods that are
directly affected by government action. The ANCs are the body of
government with the closest official ties to the people in a neighborhood.
Commissioners serve as unpaid volunteers.
The ANCs present their
positions and recommendations on issues to various District government
agencies, the Executive Branch, and the Council. They also present
testimony to independent agencies, boards and commissions, usually under
rules of procedure specific to those entities. By law, the ANCs may also
present their positions to Federal agencies.
