The Northridge South Neighborhood Council's executive board committee meets online on Oct. 12 to prepare the agenda for the board's Oct. 22, 2026 meeting; its agenda asks the council's eight committees for items and does not name the proposed topics. The September 24 board agenda included a draft Community Impact Statement and letter of concern on Council Files 21-0002-S18 and 21-1414, about SB 9, stating that the council opposes the expansion of state housing laws that require ministerial approvals and preempt local land-use authority. The same agenda listed grants of up to $5,000 to the YMCA for Thanksgiving food baskets, up to $3,000 for the Granada Hills Street Fair and Car Show and up to $2,000 to SOLID.
