PLEASE NOTE: IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES POLICY DURING THE PANDEMIC
ALL ENCINO NEIGHBORHOOD COUNCIL GENERAL MEETINGS AND COMMITTEE MEETINGS WILL BE HELD VIRTUALLY
VIA ZOOM UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE
(ENC)
The Encino Neighborhood Council (ENC) is managed by a governing body comprised of elected volunteers from Encino. The ENC was designed to give stakeholders, who are residents, businessowners, employees, members of organizations, and other community members a forum for addressing issues important to Encino. 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 of the Board was held in July 2003.
Meetings are open to the public and give stakeholders the opportunity to ask questions, comment, and get more information about local developments, including getting more involved with the ENC. In addition to the General Board Meetings, the ENC has many focused committees which meet to discuss various specific neighborhood issues--stakeholders are encouraged to join these committees (seats are based on availability). All ENC committee meetings are open to the public. To find out more information about ENC committees and meetings, please visit the Committees and/or Calendar section of the website.
Encino!
Your Neighborhood! ​Your City! Your Voice!
