In February, all Councils will hear about the Station Evaluation Program Findings and Regional Updates. The San Fernando Valley Council will hear about the LIFE Program Update, and the South Bay Cities Council will decide on their in-person meeting location, as this is the month last month for virtual-only Service Council meetings.

Beginning March 1, all Service Council meetings will return to in person meetings; members of the public will still be able to submit online comments and comment by phone, but there will be an option to attend the meetings in person. We’ll share more information about the locations and how to participate next month.

Here are the dates for the upcoming February meetings, and a link to each Council’s page with a map of the region and the list of the members:
