There’s three types of people, those who make things happen, those who let things happen, and those who wonder what happened. Don’t you want to be the first type?

Well, YOU CAN BE!

The RNC is your way to help make a difference in your community. From telling the city how you want development in your community to be done, to organizing cleanups, to working on problems currently facing your community like chronic homelessness and urban blight, to organizing events for the community’s youth and seniors, and initiating events like the annual Artwalk, the RNC is working to change things for the better. And we need your help to do it!

We currently have three Board Member positions open to be filled by active and dedicated community members who want to improve Reseda. These positions are for Business, , Young Adult and Youth Board Members. The qualifications for these seats can be found in our bylaws located at https://resedacouncil.org/web1/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/RNC-Bylaws-Approved-11232020-1.pdf?x48066

We also have committees looking for volunteers to help such as the Planning and Land Use Management Committee that helps chart the course for Reseda’s development and evaluates and considers proposed developments in the community.

If you would like to apply for one of the Board Member Seats or join one of our committees, please contact the RNC secretary at [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.

WHO ARE YOU??
