The West Ranch Town Council has several Committees that work to support the needs of the Council. Governmental Status Exploratory Committee Current Members:
The Government Relations committee is the group that represents the West Ranch Town Council's interests in the current initiative around determining the future of the West Side - Incorporation, Annexation, or Maintaining the Current Unincorporated Status. This committee works closely with officials from Los Angeles County, the Castaic Town Council, and the City of Santa Clarita. The Committee provides update reports on its activities and meetings at each West Ranch Town Council meeting. New information and updates will also be posted on the News page of this site. Election 2008 Committee This committee is responsible for developing and expanding the election bylaws that the West Ranch Town Council falls under. The committee reports on its findings and ideas as needed to the entire West Ranch Town Council at the regularly scheduled meetings. All recommendations must be passed by the West Ranch Town Council before taking effect. Ron Mechsner is currently leading the Election 2008 Committee. Additional members will be added as the election date closes. VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED TO WORK WITH THIS COMMITTEE Security / Public Safety Committee This committee concentrates on the security and public safety issues that impact our area. The goal is to provide a dedicated team of council members to work with Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, the California Highway Patrol, and Security Committees from the area's Homeowner Associations in order to help keep the West Ranch area a safe secure environment for our residents and visitors. Government Relations Committee This committee is tasked to work with the County, local neighboring government bodies, the community Homeowner Associations, and other governmental organizations to assist and resolve issues that impact the quality of life for residents of the West Ranch areas. Included in this are specific community liaisons who volunteer to help improve the communication between those of the communities with the government organizations best positioned to assist their needs.
