“The San Gabriel Mountains National Monument is a crown jewel for Los Angeles. It is a backyard to millions of people, and is also home to cultural resources, rare animals and plants, unique geology, and dynamic forests, rivers, and high peaks,” said Secretary Vilsack. “President Biden’s actions today ensure this remarkable place is protected for current and future generations.”

In May 2003 the Sylmar Neighborhood Council was certified.

Happy 21st Year of serving our community of Sylmar! 

The Neighborhood Council system was created to connect LA’s diverse communities to City Hall, and was established in 1999 by an amendment to the City Charter.

While Neighborhood Council board members are volunteers, they are public officials elected to office by the members of their community. Neighborhood Councils advocate on issues like homelessness, housing, land use, emergency preparedness, public safety, parks, transportation, and sustainability.

They also provide local expertise and a local voice on the delivery of City services to their communities. Each Council holds monthly meetings of its full board, in addition to monthly Committee meetings with a more targeted focus on key issues or projects, like public safety, transportation, homelessness, or land use.

All meetings are open to the public.
