Redistricting Meeting
Posted on 10/06/2021DO YOU WANT OUR COMMUNITY OF SHADOW HILLS TO BE SPLIT UP INTO TWO OR THREE CITY COUNCIL DISTRICTS?
At the Redistricting Commission meeting on Monday night, they seem to have settled on two possible maps, both of which have divided Shadow Hills into more than one district AND have separated Shadow Hills away from other horsekeeping and high-fire communities. You can see the maps at the links below. To see more detail of each district that Shadow Hills has been divided into, scroll down to the specific district to see the street boundaries.
It is an understatement to say that neither map is beneficial to Shadow Hills. This division of our neighborhood dilutes our voices. Because The LACCRC has extended the deadline to receive public maps and Community Of interest testimony through Friday, October 1st at 12pm, it is not too late to contact the committee to tell them what our Shadow Hills Community needs:
1. We want Shadow Hills to stay in ONE Council District, not divided up. Our historically rural community has unique interests that must be protected.
2. We want all horsekeeping/animalkeeping and High-Fire-Mountain Fire District communities (Lake View Terrace, Sylmar, Shadow Hills, La Tuna Canyon) to be in the same ONE district (as they currently are in CD7). This allows our communities to advocate for our common interests as one united voice.
Please call or email the Redistricting Commission BOTH TODAY and TOMORROW to let them about our community’s needs. An email can be quickly and easily cut and pasted, and BCC'd to many people. (Don't forget to include your contact info and address.)
Phone: (213) 263-5765
Please send a copy of any email to our current councilwoman and her Shadow Hills Outreach Coordinator:

Masking Requirements Remain in LA County
Posted on 05/18/2021From the County of Los Angeles Public Health:
The state will be keeping current masking guidance as it is until June 15, and we in LA County will do the same. This means that our guidance remains in alignment with the Health Officer Order of May 3rd.
California will align its mask guidance with CDC’s on June 15, 2021
California will keep existing mask guidance in place until June 15 when it aims to fully reopen the economy. After that, the state plans to allow fully-vaccinated Californians to go without a mask in most indoor settings. You will still have the option to wear a mask if you choose.

Comprehensive Plan To Address Illegal Fireworks
Posted on 05/14/2021From The offices of Councilwoman Monica Rodriguez:
On March 17 of this year, the Councilwoman sponsored a motion in regards to addressing the issue of illegal fireworks usage more comprehensively in the City of Los Angeles.
You can read more about her motion here: https://cityclerk.lacity.org/lacityclerkconnect/index.cfm....
You can read more about her motion here: https://cityclerk.lacity.org/lacityclerkconnect/index.cfm....
The City Council approved this motion on May 5.
Fireworks continue to be a significant nuisance in the City of Los Angeles, causing a wildfire threat to our communities, distressing people, and endangering pets, livestock and wildlife, as well as causing air pollution. In response to concerns raised in meetings with community members, the Councilwoman introduced this legislation calling for a comprehensive plan to address illegal fireworks in the City of LA.
Her motion directs City Departments to:
* Create a fireworks buyback program
*Create a reward program to encourage individuals to report major suppliers of illegal fireworks
*Enable the MyLA311 app as a platform to report illegal fireworks year round
*Expand the current seasonal online portal via the LAPD website
*Report with data on the number of dead and recovered animals during periods of increased fireworks usage.
This cultural shift will help our communities by preventing structural fires and wildfires, improving the quality of life for residents, and increasing animal safety.
