SNC and Community Overwhelmingly Support Gang Injunction

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 Moore

• 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.

BIG SUNDAY: MAY 3-4

"Big Sunday", a City wide cleanup Sponsored by the Mayor's office was on May 3-4, 2008. The Sylmar Neighborhood Council planned a community cleanup Saturday May 3, 2008. Projects included painting, bulky item pick up and drop off at Sylmar Park, street cleanups, planting projects and freeway onramp cleanup. Enjoy our video.

We were supposed to meet with CALTrans at the freeway on ramp to clean that up, but they had to tend to a spill. So we regrouped and cleaned up Foothill from Yarnell to Bledsoe.
