DEAR ANTELOPE VALLEY COMMUNITY MEMBER,<br />
The <strong>County</strong> of <strong>Los</strong> <strong>Angeles</strong> is very pleased to offer the annual edition of the Antelope Valley Connection!<br />
This resource guide highlights valuable information for Antelope Valley residents on local and regional <strong>County</strong><br />
services, arts and recreation, and important public safety and emergency information.<br />
This guide is written for your communities to connect you to <strong>County</strong> services. Whether you want to find your<br />
local parks, public library hours, or community programs at the Lancaster and Palmdale Sheriff’s Stations, you<br />
can find it in here.<br />
The <strong>County</strong> would like to express special thanks to John (Jack) Farley at Devil’s Punchbowl Natural Area for his<br />
photos on the cover of this guide which capture the natural beauty unlike anywhere else in the <strong>County</strong> that is<br />
found in the Antelope Valley.<br />
Thank you!<br />
Living in Unincorporated Antelope Valley<br />
As a resident in an unincorporated area, you are being represented<br />
at both a regional and local level by <strong>Los</strong> <strong>Angeles</strong> <strong>County</strong> Board of<br />
Supervisors. In unincorporated communities, the role of a local city<br />
government is performed by the <strong>County</strong> who is responsible for<br />
providing and maintaining municipal (local) services such as law<br />
enforcement, fire, road maintenance, parks, zoning, building permits,<br />
and animal care and control.<br />
The unincorporated areas of the <strong>County</strong> are governed by the<br />
<strong>Los</strong> <strong>Angeles</strong> <strong>County</strong> Board of Supervisors, who serve as your “City<br />
Council.” Your local field representative contact information can<br />
be found on page 68.<br />
There are also Town Councils in the Antelope Valley which are your<br />
local forum to voice community concerns. These are organizations<br />
consisting of unincorporated area residents like yourselves who<br />
volunteer their time to hear input from local residents and make<br />
recommendations to your elected <strong>County</strong> officials and <strong>County</strong><br />
staff. A list of Town Councils in the Antelope Valley can be found<br />
on page 3.<br />
