Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council rears its head

Got my first e-mail about a Los Angeles neighborhood council meeting in the Valley. It's for the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council -- and is there an area in the city with more residential development going on?
They meet 6:30 p.m. Nov. 8 in the Parkman Middle School auditorium (or, if you must, call it by its new name, Woodland Hills Academy), 20800 Burbank Blvd. Woodland Hills. ... OK so it's only 26 hours notice, but that's progress. This is the only Valley NC agenda I've received via e-mail in the past two months.

They're going to be talking about:

-- Revising the "color palette" of the Aku Aku Motor Inn on Ventura Boulevard (man ... that place is cool looking)

-- Voting on funds for a "neighborhood council liaison" to the Planning Department (a smart move, I think, given the literally thousands of new residential units going up in the neighborhood)

-- Recommending (or not) the placement of AT&T metal cabinets with fiber-optic equipment

-- Recommending (or not) the closure of two pedestrian tunnels under the 101 Freeway

-- Recommending (or not) the restructuring of the Planning Department

... and

-- Voting on a recommendation regarding the "day labor problem" on Fallbrook Avenue between Ventura Boulevard and Avenue San Luis.

That's a pretty full agenda. If this is the neighborhood council that represents you, try to be there, and if not, the next meeting is at 6:30 p.m. Dec. 15, same place. And the body's election will be held 5 to 9 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 15, at the Pacific Lodge Boys Home (and no, I have no idea where that is).

Kudos to the Woodland Hills-Warner Center Neighborhood Council for posting its agenda online.
