The Mar Vista Community Council is seeking candidates to fill an upcoming vacancy for Zone 4 Director on its Board of Directors. This is a wonderful opportunity to engage with the community and to advocate for its interests. The appointment will last until the next election in June of 2021 at which time the selected candidate may, at his/her sole discretion, choose to run for re-election. In order to qualify, a Stakeholder must be at least eighteen years of age and live, work, or own property within the geographic boundaries of Zone 4 (South of Palms Blvd., North of Venice Blvd., East of Centinela Ave., and West of the 405 freeway).

This is a volunteer position and can involve substantial time. There is one Board meeting monthly which typically lasts 2-1/2 hours, exclusive of set-up and tear-down. In addition, each Board member is expected to serve as Chair, Co-Chair, or Vice-Chair of at least one committee and remain current on all city-required training. Some members spend four or five hours per week on Board business; others spend many more.

¡Mar Vista's Community Plan!

The Sidewalk Repair Program Environmental Review Has Begun. Los Angeles has engaged in a massive Sidewalk Repair Program in part to repair and upgrade sidewalks and curb ramps adjacent to City-owned pedestrian facilities, so that they are compliant with applicable accessibility requirements. Street tree removals and replacements, along with utility relocations, may be needed, as well. Additionally, the City may adopt policies and/or ordinances to assist in the administration of the proposed Sidewalk Repair Program and its objectives.

The question often asked, when hearing of the Mar Vista Community Council for the first time, is what does the Council do? The short answer is build, serve and represent the Mar Vista Community.

MVCC relies on the contributions and involvement of individual members of our community. Wondering how to get involved? Come to a meeting...join a committee...volunteer for something...
