Agenda only. As of October 2, 2026, minutes for the July 23, 2026 meeting of the Panorama City Neighborhood Council had not been posted. This summary is based on the agenda and does not report what was decided.

The agenda calls the 6:30 p.m. regular meeting “the one in-person meeting required for calendar year 2026” and “the annual meeting to elect officers and appoint committee chairs” (agenda). The special board meeting set for 7 p.m. or after the regular meeting had its own agenda, with two outreach spending items.

20. No-parking enforcement on Tobias Avenue

• What it asks: Discussion and possible action on a resolution “to support enforcement of street sweeping day No Parking rules on Tobias Avenue North of Parthenia Street” and to request, if needed, money from Council District 6 for LAPD overtime to protect Bureau of Street Services workers writing citations during a one-month trial (agenda).
• Who brought it: The Rules Committee, which the agenda says recommended it unanimously on July 13, 2026 (agenda).
• Reason given: The agenda says towing on street sweeping days “is needed to remove derelict cars and to discourage illegal residential auto repair operations on Tobias and adjacent streets” (agenda).

21. Nighttime no-parking enforcement on Blythe Street

• What it asks: Discussion and possible action on a resolution to support enforcement of no-parking rules at night on Blythe Street west of Van Nuys Boulevard, with the same request for Council District 6 money for LAPD overtime during a one-month trial (agenda).
• Who brought it: The agenda says an LAPD senior lead officer suggested it at the Summer Night Lights event on July 17 (agenda).
• Reason given: The agenda says towing cars parked at night is needed to prevent drug dealing from parked cars, “which is the reason the street still has No Parking rules on both sides” (agenda).

22. Whiteman Airport

• What it asks: Discussion and possible action on a resolution of support “for continued use of Whiteman Airport for General Aviation.” The resolution would also ask Los Angeles County to “stop refusing federal money that is appropriated for much needed airport improvements pursuant to a 1999 agreement with the Federal Aviation Administration” (agenda).
• Who brought it: The Land Use Committee, which the agenda says recommended it unanimously on July 13 (agenda).
• Reasons given: The agenda cites the airport’s businesses and jobs, private plane use by local business people, support for county public safety air operations and medical evacuations, and the money it provides the County for its four other airports (agenda).
• Who it goes to: Copies would go to City Councilmembers, including Imelda Padilla, with a request that they advocate for the County to accept the money (agenda).

Board membership and officers

• Removals (item 4): The agenda listed discussion and possible action to remove members “with excessive unexcused absences.” It says the secretary identified five people as eligible for removal by absences: At-Large Directors Mary Torres and Alena Escobedo, Business Director Maria Nieto, Alternate Anna Rojas Campirano and a youth advisor (agenda). No vote is recorded in the records available as of Oct. 2, 2026.
• Vacancies (item 5): The agenda listed appointments to vacant seats and alternate positions. Its letterhead shows four vacant seats (Homeowner Center-West, Renter Center-West, Homeowner Center-East and Business) and four vacant alternate positions (agenda).
• Officers (item 6): The agenda listed the election of a chair, vice chair, treasurer, secretary and, at the board’s discretion, an equity officer. It says voting for each office continues, with the lowest-vote candidate removed, until one candidate has a majority of votes cast (agenda). The letterhead of the board’s Aug. 27 agenda lists John DiGregorio as chair, Michael Hasz as vice chair, Perla Iliana Lagunas Abundez as treasurer, Pamela Gibberman as secretary and Wendy Flores as equity officer.
