NEWS: New ANC 2B Boundaries Map

Gottlieb Simon from the Office of ANCs has generated new ANC maps based on redistricting after the 2010 census.  The external boundaries of ANC 2B have not changed, but there are some changes to the Single Member District boundaries.  We have inserted the new ANC 2B on our Map page under “About.”

These new boundaries will go into effect beginning January 1, 2013.  They are also in effect for the purposes of the November 2012 ANC elections.

NEWS: New Online Community Calendar

We’ve added a new “Calendar” to the ANC website.  It’s an open calendar where anyone can post events.  You do not need to subscribe or be approved.  The interface is very user-friendly, as well.  You can add descriptive text, map links, and even graphics to your event listing.

Our hope is that this new page will become the go-to public calendar for Dupont neighborhood events, meetings, hearings, and other items of interest — such as summer movie nights, Capital Pride, Taste of Dupont, community meetings, candidate forums, ANC meetings, meetings of other neighborhood groups, and more!

Just go to our website at http://www.dupontcircleanc.net and click on “Calendar.” [Choose “Calendar” on the above menu]

This is a very exciting development for our website, and we hope that this service will benefit the community.

NEWS: Our official ANC letters now available on our website!

We are pleased to announce that we have updated our Dupont Circle ANC website (www.dupontcircleanc.net) to list all our resolution letters month-by-month, going back to March 2010.  We will continue to post our resolution letters each month.  You can find all these resolution letters by going to “Documents” and then “Resolution Letters by Month,” or by using the following link: http://www.dupontcircleanc.net/documents/resolutions-letters/.

When the ANC passes a resolution on a matter — for example, supporting a liquor license application, raising a concern to the D.C. Council, or providing comment on proposed legislation — we share a letter incorporating the resolution with the relevant D.C. agency or other body.  The letter is signed by the Chairman with the line “ON BEHALF OF THE COMMISSION.”  The letter serves the official notice of our action to the relevant agency or body.  They are to give the resolution in the letter “great weight.”  In the past, these letters were mailed or sometimes faxed, but since around 2005 the ANC has shared almost all of its formal letters as e-mailed PDF files.

This new web page is part of our effort to make the ANC 2B website a comprehensive resource for the community, and also to promote open government.  Enjoy perusing our letters!
