My Fellow Citizens of Los Angeles,
It is an exciting time in Van Nuys, as we come together as a community and address the issues facing the San Fernando Valley. Last week I had the honor and privilege of sitting down with Congressman Tony Cardenas and LAPD Captain Lillian Carranza to address the child sex trafficking epidemic facing Van Nuys and the Valley.
We are congruently working with the Congressman, the LAPD, and Federal Agencies like the FBI and Homeland Security to come up with new and better tactics to fight this horrible travesty and plague upon the Valley.
At our next Special Council Meeting we will vote on allocating $20,000 to purchase Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras and license reading software to start collecting data on pimps and johns to stop the number one public safety issue facing the San Fernando Valley.
We are also beginning to undertake the very ambitious notion of creating a “Business Improvement District” (BID) along Van Nuys Boulevard from Sherman Oaks through Van Nuys all the way up to Pacoima. (The entire length of Van Nuys Boulevard, including Panorama City & Arleta as well.) If you would like to get involved and help create this BID, please let me know. Cheers.
It is a special privilege to serve as the Council President and Honorary Mayor of Van Nuys, and thank you for this great opportunity to be a part of our community.
-George Christopher Thomas, Council President & Honorary Mayor of Van Nuys
