October 13, 2026, 6:30 p.m. · Updated October 10, 2026

On the agenda: The Atwater Village Neighborhood Council's Board of Governors holds a special meeting online on Oct. 13, 2026, at 6:30 p.m., in place of its regular Oct. 12 meeting, which the council cancelled. The agenda lists letters asking for an Atwater Village disaster action plan for severe El Niño flooding and for drainage fixes on Hollydale Drive, Tyburn Street, Ingledale Terrace and Glenfeliz Boulevard, up to $4,600 for sand, sandbags and storm safety mailers, and Community Impact Statements on CF 26-0600-S8, a budget motion for the North Atwater East Bank Riverway, and CF 25-0481, on who maintains bike and multi-use paths. The five funding items on the agenda total $7,766, our sum.

Agenda only. As of October 10, 2026, the October 13, 2026 meeting of the Atwater Village Neighborhood Council has not happened yet and nothing on its agenda has been decided. Agendas can change.

The agenda sets the special teleconference meeting for Tuesday, Oct. 13, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. on Zoom or by telephone. It was posted on Oct. 9 (City agenda index). The council’s regular meeting had been noticed for Monday, Oct. 12; the posting for that date now reads “THIS MEETING HAS BEEN CANCELLED. THE BOARD WILL INSTEAD HOLD A SPECIAL MEETING ON TUESDAY, OCTOBER 13, 2026,” and lists the same items (cancelled Oct. 12 agenda). Public comment is two minutes per speaker (agenda).

Flooding runs through the agenda. The Public Safety Committee report lists a sandbag filling and distribution event on Oct. 25 at 12:30 p.m. at LAFD Station 44, 1410 Cypress Avenue, and a cleanup of streets and storm drains “ahead of potential El Niño conditions.” The River Committee report lists an Oct. 7 disaster action plan recommendation, a community sandbag program and drainage concerns on Hollydale, Tyburn and Ingledale, and items G.10 through G.14 are the committee’s letters and statements (agenda). Several items return from the board’s Sept. 14 agenda: the hats and keychains, the In the Mailroom contract, the East Bank Riverway letter and the CF 25-0481 statement. Minutes of that meeting are themselves on this agenda for approval (item G.17), so the outcomes of the September versions are not in the record yet.
