The organizing effort of the [Sunland-Tujunga Neighborhood Council](https://empowerla.org/stnc/) (STNC) started in November of 1999, with the guidance and encouragement of the Chamber of Commerce. The STNC was certified in May of 2003 by the Board of Neighborhood Commissioners (BONC) with bylaws that were approved by a vote of community members. STNC’s officially elected Board of Representatives are involved, in an advisory capacity, with city budget planning, city development plans, officially address our community and city issues with governmental officials and departments.
The STNC has a $42,000 Neighborhood Council Funding budget annually to allocate to community improvement projects, outreach, and Council operations.YOU, as an STNC stakeholder, may be elected to the Board, attend the public meetings to gain information, hear diverse opinions, and foremost, to express concerns, potential solutions and ideas to the STNC Board of Directors, who are empowered to take appropriate advisory action.
