Ok frankie... since you so are grammatically astute, which possessive would be proper to use in this sentence?

The neighborhood committee focused their attention on the election results.

Or:

The neighborhood committee focused its attention on the election results.

The structure is similar to the the original sentence in that a village, as well as a neighborhood committee can be either a collective or a singular entity.

I believe that the use of the word "their" in the original sentence is acceptable, but you do not.
