About

The Serra Mesa Community Council is a neighborhood association run by volunteers. It formed in 1988. It is a California nonprofit public benefit corporation with 501(c)(3) status, which means it is a tax-exempt charity.

Membership is free. Adults who live, own property or do business in Serra Mesa can join. Members elect a board of 7 to 17 directors, who serve two-year terms.

The council meets four times a year at the Serra Mesa–Kearny Mesa Branch Library. At these meetings, police and representatives of elected officials give reports, and residents raise concerns. The council has published the Serra Mesa Observer every two months since November 1988. It has not missed an issue.

The council's land use committee was the basis for the Serra Mesa Planning Group, which formed in 1992. The planning group is now a separate body.
