Full summary

On April 29, 2026, Councilmember John S. Lee introduced a motion calling for additional dead wood and brush removal in three parks serving the Porter Ranch community: Limekiln Canyon, Wilbur-Tampa, and Aliso Canyon. The work is a joint effort between the Department of Recreation and Parks Forestry Division and the Porter Ranch Neighborhood Council, which agreed to help fund the project out of its special funds account. The motion directs two specific actions. First, it transfers and appropriates $7,500 from the Porter Ranch Neighborhood Council special funds account into Recreation and Parks Fund No. 302 under the Deferred Maintenance - Porter Ranch appropriation. Second, it authorizes the City Clerk to make any necessary technical corrections to the fund transfer instructions to carry out the motion's intent. The $7,500 in neighborhood council funds represents a direct community investment in fire hazard mitigation for these open-space parks. The matter moved through the Council process on an expedited timeline, going directly from referral to the full Council without committee review. The City Clerk scheduled the item for a vote on May 1, and Council adopted it 14-0-1 on May 5, 2026, subject to reconsideration under Council Rule 51. Following passage, the file was transmitted to the Mayor on May 6, with a deadline of May 18, 2026, for the Mayor to act.
