From official records: The Chatsworth Neighborhood Council's board met Oct. 7, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. at the Lawrence Middle School Library. Its 11-item agenda asked the board to approve a Community Impact Statement letter on the City Planning Department's Missing Middle initiative, an $8,000 starting budget for the 2027 Day of the Horse and a new website vendor at up to $2,400 for the year; the six funding motions with dollar amounts total $14,598.70, our sum. The council's Oct. 13 joint land use agenda says the board took no action on the Missing Middle letter. Minutes were not posted as of Oct. 10, 2026, so the other outcomes are not known.
