On the agenda: The Panorama City Neighborhood Council's board agenda for Aug. 27, 2026, included a request that the City Council back SB 1314, the Youth Over Smoke Act, and change the smoke shop interim control ordinance in CF 25-0916 so that its ban on new or expanded shops applies within 600 feet of a school or day center, re-approval of $2,500 for Summer Night Lights at Sepulveda Rec Center, $2,500 for outreach giveaways and $1,000 for a Sept. 18 movie night and up to $1,000 for a note taker. Minutes were not on the City's agenda index and no Panorama City statement was on the council file as of Oct. 1, 2026; the Sept. 24 board agenda lists August minutes for approval without attaching them.

Agenda only. As of October 2, 2026, minutes for the August 27, 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.

6.a. $2,500 for Summer Night Lights

• What it asks: Re-approve, as the City Clerk directed, a 2025-26 motion supporting Summer Night Lights at Sepulveda Recreation Center with refreshments, outreach supplies, crafts and a table (agenda).
• Amount: $2,500 (agenda).

11.a. $1,000 for movie night

• What it asks: Refreshments, outreach materials and movie-related items for a Sept. 18 movie night at Panorama Recreation Center, listed among the recommendations from the August Outreach and Education committee meetings (agenda).
• Amount: $1,000 (agenda).

11.c. $2,500 for outreach giveaways

• What it asks: Restock the council’s giveaway inventory, including new items such as jump ropes (agenda).
• Amount: $2,500 (agenda).

11.d. Smoke shops near schools

• What it asks: Ask the City Council to support SB 1314 by State Sen. Caroline Menjivar, the Youth Over Smoke Act, and to amend the interim control ordinance in CF 25-0916 so that its prohibition on new or expanded smoke shops “would be within 600 feet of a school or day center”. The agenda says this would align the ordinance with the proposed state legislation and that the Education Committee recommended it unanimously (agenda).
• The council file: CF 25-0916 lists Tim McOsker as mover and Bob Blumenfield as seconder, and its mover comment gives the original motion as McOsker and Lee, dated Aug. 12, 2025. That motion asked for an interim control ordinance on smoke shops near sensitive uses within the boundaries of Council District 15. On Aug. 11, 2026 the City Council adopted a resolution by McOsker and Blumenfield to extend the ordinance, 14-0 with one member absent; the Council action describes it as applying within Council District 15.
• Neighborhood council positions: No Panorama City Community Impact Statement appears on CF 25-0916 as of Oct. 1, 2026.
