RESEDA NC AGENDA, RESEDA ARTFEST, NEW WATER USE RULES

It’s still not too late to make a New Year’s resolution to help your community! Be the change you want to see! The Reseda Neighborhood Council has three vacant seats currently, and will soon have available specialty seats as well!

The first open seat is a Business Stakeholder seat, this is for anyone who works, owns a rental property, or owns a business in Reseda. The other seat is an At-Large seat which is for anyone who has an ongoing stake of some sort in Reseda. We also have a vacancy in our Young Adult Seat, which is for anyone between the ages of 18 and 20 who lives, works, or owns property in Reseda. Detailed qualifications can be found at:

The two specialty seats are our Youth and Young Adult Board Member seats. These are appointed on an annual basis on June 1^st and allow local students and young adults to participate in local government without having to make a long term commitment. Spread the word to any civic-minded students or young adults you know!

The RNC is only as good as our Volunteer Community Leaders who join us. We need you on board! For further inquiries regarding these positions, please contact: [email protected].

NEW WATER CONSERVATION RULES, EFFECTIVE JUNE 1, 2022

Under the rules, residents will be assigned two watering days a week based on their addresses — Monday and Friday for odd addresses and Thursday and Sunday for even ones — with watering capped at only eight minutes, or 15 minutes for sprinklers with water-conserving nozzles. No watering will be allowed between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. regardless of the watering days.

Those who don’t comply with the new rules will receive a warning, followed by escalating fines for each subsequent violation, Adams said.

Join us on June 19th to help donate to American Red Cross Los Angeles Region while at our Encino Farmer's Market, 17400 Victory Blvd. . Thank you for taking a few minutes while shopping for your favorite treats and supporting local growers to give to someone in need. Every donation can save up to 3 lives! Click below to register:

BusinessSource Centers

The Mid-City BusinessSource Center helped Ara Tien, owner of Chop Chop Chicken, obtain COVID-19 disaster loans saving his business and jobs for 18 employees

If you have been impacted by the pandemic, EWDD wants to help. Visit our COVID-19 Resources Page to access information and programs for business owners and the community.

EWDD’s BusinessSource, WorkSource and YouthSource Centers continue to operate, with some centers offering limited, scheduled in-person appointments. Please contact your local center before visiting to allow staff time to prepare and maintain social distancing according to public safety guidelines.

Report graffiti, downed trees, traffic sign problems, and more.
Take a photo with your phone and submit it to MYLA311. Your photo contains the location of the problem with time and date stamp, so you don't even have to type all of that in.....
Woke up on a Sunday morning and found my driveway blocked by a large tree branch. Reported on MYLA311 and in a little over 2 hours, a City truck showed up and a man with a chain saw cut it up and stacked it in the parkway.
Use this quick method of reporting.
