Hello to East Valley and Central Area NCs in 2010,

Following up on input I received as I made the rounds to NCs in 2009, for those of you who have expressed to me your interest in more detailed information on some of the Department’s major initiatives and other timely topics, here are some links to such information from the January 5, 2010 and January 19, 2010 LADWP Board meeting agendas.

We’ve just begun the new year but there is a lot happening already.

The topics (and the accompanying links) include:
