The Encino Neighborhood Council 

Our Objectives are: to provide an inclusive open forum for public discussion of issues concerning 

Respect the dignity and expression of viewpoints of all individuals, groups, involved in the neighborhood. 
 

The Encino Neighborhood Council (ENC) is managed by a governing body comprised of elected volunteers from Encino. We are designed to give stakeholders, who are residents, business owners, employees, members of organizations and other community members a forum for addressing issues important to the Encino community.  The ENC, formerly known as the Encino Community Council, was certified by the City of Los Angeles on October 8, 2002, and the first election was held in July 2003.

The ENC holds our General Council Meeting the 4th Wednesday of each month at the Encino Community Center: 4935 Balboa Blvd. Encino, CA 91316.  At these meetings you will have an opportunity to ask questions and get more information about local developments. How they will affect you, sign petitions, and find out how to get involved. In addition to our General Council Meetings, the ENC has several other committees which meet to discuss various neighborhood issues. To find out more information about these committees and meetings, please visit the Committee and/or Calendar section of our website.

You may subscribe to receive all ENC meeting online agendas from the City of Los Angeles Early Notification System by signing up at:  https://www.lacity.org/your-government/council-votes/subscribe-meeting-agendas/neighborhood-councils
