Sun Valley Area Neighborhood Council's Mission Statement

Neighborhood Councils were created as part of the 1999 Los Angeles Charter reform package to better connect residents with their city government. Neighborhood councils are direct advisory links to our City Council and City Governmental departments.

The Board consists of community stakeholders who meet, discuss, and prepare presentations about local needs to Los Angeles City governing bodies. They work as an arm of the City to accomplish common goals for the City and the local community. Neighborhood Councils are groups of people coming together to influence City decisions that affect us within our neighborhoods . . . where we live, work, play, shop, study, raise our families, and aim toward an improved community.

The SVANC shall promote the increased public participation in local government and work towards making local government more responsive to local needs. If you live, work, own property or a business in Sun Valley, you are a stakeholder. Join your fellow neighbors at our next meeting. Be part of this neighborhood council and help to change and empower our community.
