Fire Station #39 Actions & Information

Greetings Van Nuys Council-members, Community Leaders & Stakeholders,

This coming Tuesday (Tomorrow) the Los Angeles City Council will be voting on the Fire Station #39 relocation in Van Nuys, CA.  As we all know, this is a very important issue and there has been much discussion and debate on the subject.

If you can make it to the meeting next Tuesday and let your voice be heard, that would be great. I am attaching the official language on which the LA City Council will vote, as well as the Bureau of Engineering report for Fire Station #39.

I have also successfully submitted the Community Impact Statement that was voted on and passed by the Van Nuys Neighborhood Council at our General Meeting this past January the 8th. 

Thank you for being involved in our community, and have a wonderful holiday weekend.  Cheers.

-George Christopher Thomas, President of the Van Nuys Neighborhood Council                     www.vnnc.org
