Because of the importance of the proposed Gang Injunction to Sylmar, the SNC sponsored two Town Hall meetings, held two board meetings and had two separate meetings with Captain Jorge Villegas of the Mission Area Police Station to be sure to hear all sides of this complicated subject. At the June 18 Town Hall meeting panelists included:

• Captain Villegas

• Chief Earl Paysinger (Southeast)

• Bruce Riordon (City Attorney’s Office)

• Alex Alonso (USC PhD Candidate)

• Peter Bibring (ACLU Staff Attorney)

• Luis J. Rodriguez (Tia Chucha's/Writer)

Special Guests:

• Councilmember Richard Alarcon

• Assemblymember Felipe Fuentes

• Senator Alex Padilla.

The Board took a position in favor of the injunction and issued this letter to Bruce Riordan of the Superior Court. The injunction was approved on June 24, 2008 and will take effect within 30 days.
