Hey Encino!

The next cycle of speed hump request will open next week, January 29th at 8am!  These fill up VERY quickly.  If you have a need for speed humps on your street, please visit their site at 8am to get your request in.  

Jan 2020-Cycle 6-Speed Hump Request
This "Cycle 6" form is now closed and WILL OPEN at 8:00 a.m. SHARP on Wednesday, January 29, 2020 until the maximum number of requests that can be processed for construction is received. In the past, that max number of request is 450 (30 per Council District Office). This number allows our limited staff to study all the applications in a "batch" and build in a "batch" as efficiently as possible. Thank you for your patience and understanding!

Volunteers are needed for the 2020 Annual Point-in-Time Homeless Count.  Here is a link to sign up for this year’s count.  A brochure is also attached.  When you go to sign up, if you put in our 91436 zip code you will be assigned to Encino, the staging area is Valley Beth Shalom.  In case you haven’t done this before, it starts with some instruction around 8 pm, you will be done by 11 pm.  I know volunteers are needed from all over our Service Planning Area.  It is a great opportunity to meet some of our constituents and do something unusual.  The count is super important – it is a major factor in determining allocation of HUD resources.   We are also a sponsor!

The January 22nd ENC General Board meeting has been CANCELLED - it will be rescheduled for the following Wednesday, notice of the new meeting date is forthcoming.

On August 26th 2019, the West Valley LAPD will have their 3rd annual golf tournament! You can register to play in the tournament or you can help sponsor the event! Funds raised from this event will benefit the West Valley B.O.O.S.T.E.R.S. an organization that helps support the men and women of the West Valley Police Station. The event will take place at the beautiful El Caballero Country Club. The mission of the B.O.O.S.T.E.R.S. is to increase the effectiveness and morale of the officers and staff of the West Valley Community Police Station by raising funds for community services, materials and equipment not generally supplied by the City of Los Angeles.

We hope that you will consider supporting the West Valley B.O.O.S.T.E.R.S. and the golf tournament.
