      On January 11, 2025, on behalf of the WHWCNC, President Weiss visited Fire station 84 and after being informed what the firefighters immediately needed, donated requested items:\u00a0 wipes, ChapStick and granola bars to assist the firefighters.<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      On January 18, 225, on behalf of the WHWCNC, President Weiss visited Fire station 84 and asked what other items were needed. LAFD Station 84 asked us to pass on to the public their acknowledgment of generosity and appreciated the many physical donations received to help victims of the recent fires. However, Fire Station 84 told us they no longer have the capacity to accept and distribute more physical items. They want us to share their request that you not bring more items to the fire station and donate them to non-profits supporting fire victims who can receive them. In lieu of physical items, they request monetary donations be given to non-profit organizations such as the LA Fire Foundation. They provided this QR code to facilitate your donations.<\/p>\n

      Also see https:\/\/recovery.lacounty.gov\/donations\/ donations<\/a> for info from Los Angeles County on making physical and monetary donations. It mentions Emergency Network Los Angeles (ENLA.org), California Community Foundation, American Red Cross, and the Salvation Army.<\/p>\n

          Per NC Funding Policy 5.0 the NC President has the unilateral authority to spend or direct the spending of up to $1,000.00 in board funds from the Outreach Budget category without the normal advance funding approval of the board for emergency services and or supplies within the parameters defined in section 2 of the policy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

          The NC president will report to the board on any such spending and how it was used in connection with the emergency and provide receipts and other appropriate documentation for this spending. Due to an exigent situation, if this spending had to be made from the personal funds of a board member, including the president, the president can direct the board member to be reimbursed (with proper documentation submitted to the City Clerk) and is exempt from the normal board member reimbursement policies. See section 4 of the policy.<\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

          The board will ratify any such spending by passing a BAC. If board member reimbursement(s) are required, the board shall pass individual BAC(s) approving the reimbursements, and the treasurer is directed to submit all required documentation to the City Clerk per section 7 of the policy.<\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

          While our Woodland Hills community has been mercifully spared from the devastating wildfires ravaging other parts of our City of Los Angeles and the County Los Angeles, many of our neighboring communities have not been as fortunate. Across the county, families have lost their homes, cherished possessions, and beloved pets, and tragically, some have lost their lives. The scope of destruction in these communities is unprecedented, with damage estimates in the billions and a recovery timeline that will stretch for years to come.<\/p>\n

          As a Neighborhood Council, and a voice of our local community spared from this disaster, we have both an opportunity and a moral imperative to join other NCs to support our fellow Angelenos in their crisis. Our position as a city-funded entity allows us to extend assistance to communities devastated by these fires to start their healing process, demonstrating the strength of Los Angeles’s interconnected community network.<\/p>\n

          To the credit of the Office of the City Clerk, which administers all spending for the 99 NCs across the city, it recognizes the potential difference we can make. It has given NCs unprecedented special, simplified, streamlined spending procedures to follow if NC boards wish to allocate a portion of their Outreach Budgets to help fund government entities and non-profits supporting first responders and victims to begin the healing process. The following motions allow the WHWCNC to act per the Clerk\u2019s special funding rules for providing fire-related disaster relief.<\/p>\n

          Multiple Board members have suggested multiple deserving causes. Thank you to all of those members who have reached out with suggestions. Suggestions still have to conform to the City requirements and rules. \u00a0Some of those suggestions include the following:<\/p>\n

          The Public Safety Committee requested funding to local food distribution for those effected by the fires:<\/p>\n

          – West Valley Food Pantry: $333.<\/p>\n

          – New Friends Homeless Center: $333.<\/p>\n

          – About My Father\u2019s Business: $333.<\/p>\n

          The Homeless and Social \u00a0Justice Advocacy Committee requested additional funding for the West Valley Food Pantry during these challenging times, up to $2,000.00.<\/p>\n

          Other Board members have emailed suggestions about other worthy local providers who are assisting fire victims such as local animal shelters, which are overwhelmed with injured and displaced pets.<\/p>\n

          In consideration of all of the input received, \u00a0the following motion is suggested to the Board:<\/p>\n

          Motion: The WHWCNC will expend up to $7,000 of its available FY-24-25 Outreach Budget, as delineated as follows \u00a0to provide funding to the following known, established and City approved <\/strong>non-profit organizations that are providing support and disaster relief to our first responders and victims in need specifically<\/strong> because of our current fire declared emergency:<\/p>\n

          The WHWNC Board directs the NC Treasurer to submit to the City Clerk the necessary BAC and supporting documentation (Contribution Payment Form, Invoice, etc. See supporting Doc email \u201cExpenditures in Support of the Wildfire Emergency Relief Efforts\u201d sent from Clerk.ncfunding@lacity.org sent January 13 attached) for approval and funding by check preferably (to save these organizations the merchant credit card discount fees) or NC credit card the following;<\/p>\n

           <\/p>\n

            \n
          1. $1,000 <\/u>to the West Valley Food Pantry <\/strong>c\/o its Fiscal Agent on file with the City Clerk earmarked for its Fire Victims Aid program.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            \u00a0<\/u><\/p>\n

              \n
            1. $2,000 to In Defense of Animals (IDA)<\/strong> with instructions for IDA to distribute our contribution between the West Valley Animal Shelter (WVAS) location of City of LA Dept. of Animal Services and the Large Animal Evacuation Center located at Pierce College.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              IDA is an established non-profit on file with the City Clerk that the Tarzana NC has used before to direct its donations to the WVAS because NCs cannot direct funding directly to other City entities like our City animal shelters. <\/em>[see https:\/\/www.idausa.org\/campaign\/animal-companions\/latest\/media-release-adopt-a-shelter-dog-month-shelter-receives-help-for-abandoned-animals\/.]<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n
