Emergency payments of $617.50 covered a locked power box at Encino Park, allowing sound system setup for Encino Fest.
The Encino Neighborhood Council voted 13 to 0 at its June 8, 2026 special board meeting to authorize $617.50 in emergency payments after a locked power box at Encino Park could not be opened during Encino Fest.
The minutes record that a locksmith was called in because of "the absence of an available key from the Encino Community Center and LA Recreation and Parks, which was required to power the sound system and stage." The board approved $167.50 to O Lock Smith for cutting the bolt lock and $450.00 to AAA Rents & Events for emergency sound engineering due to the delayed power access.
