Welcome to the Universal City/North Hollywood Chamber of Commerce...where business and community thrive. Our Chamber community strives for a lofty goal, especially in these tough economic times. And we are succeeding.
We have many exciting events coming up, and I encourage you to look at our website for updates. However, I want to thank a two wonderful partners and highlight two events in particular.
The Chamber wants to thank the Woodbury University for hosting The Community Health Fair at the Woodbury University on September 30 and West Coast University for supporting the Community Coordinating Council on August 20. Woodbury University, West Coast University and the Chamber of Commerce will be hosting these events on the state of the art Campus in Burbank, CA. The Health Fair will be held on the beautifully manicured grounds of the University. Come enjoy the booths and activities and learn about all the terrific health resources available in North Hollywood and Universal City.
The Community Coordinating Council will be hosted in the West Coast University demonstration hall. This facility is a professional and technologically advanced communication venue. The UCNH Chamber Government Affairs Committee looks forward to bringing all the community organizations together to talk about agenda items with government representatives. The event will be professionally moderated.
The Community Coordinating Council needs to hear from you today and we are asking that all trade and community organizations call our office at (number) and talk with Michelle Gilstrap to submit your suggested agenda items.
Thank you to all our partners in creating an environment "where business and community thrive". We look forward to seeing all that we can accomplish together.

Illegal Immigrant Drivers at Sobriety Checkpoints
The Universal City North Hollywood Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors at its January Board meeting took up Los Angeles Police Charlie Beck’s policy about not towing illegal immigrant driver’s cars when stopped at sobriety checkpoints. The Chamber represents 158 members and almost 12,000 employees.
Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck has announced that his officers will no longer automatically tow the cars of illegal immigrant drivers stopped at sobriety checkpoints. The policy comes in response to the concerns of Latino civil rights activists who say the impound fees are unfairly costing otherwise hardworking illegal immigrant drivers hundreds of dollars.
Also, unlicensed U.S. Citizens and legal residents stopped at checkpoints will also be allowed “reasonable time” to find someone else to drive their car home.
Being concerned over possibly dangerous reasons for drivers not being licensed, safety of the public and concern for equality of treatment, the Universal City North Hollywood Chamber of Commerce recommends that driving without a license is adequately punished by the law.
Modify Statistically, Sadistically Punitive Penalties on Rent Controlled Apartment Buildings
The Los Angeles County Tax Assessor’s Office charges approximately 10.5% to approximately 11% penalty for property tax paid just one day late. The City of Los Angeles Office of Finance assesses a 5% penalty for business taxes paid just one day late, and up to 40% if paid during the fifth month after the due date. The City of Los Angeles prohibits apartment owners from charging a late charge of any more than 6% for rent paid late.
