At the county level, Burbank is located within the 4th supervisorial district, represented on the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors by Ken Yeager. In the California State Legislature, Burbank is in the 15th Senate District , represented by Democrat Dave Cortese, and in the 28th Assembly District , represented by Democrat Gail Pellerin. [22] In the United States House of Representatives, Burbank is in California's 18th congressional district , represented by Democrat Zoe Lofgren. [23]

The area has been defined by several political entities since 1906 beginning with the Burbank School District, and shortly afterward the Burbank Fire District, which expanded the community far beyond its traditional, political and unofficial boundaries. The Burbank Sanitary District and later the Burbank Community Advisory Council became identifying local political entities.

Burbank Sanitary District

The Burbank Sanitary District operates the sewer collection lines, handles waste collection and street sweeping. Established in 1940, the Sanitary District is the only local government, other than LBSD, specific to the neighborhood. The District is governed by a Board of five members, elected to four-year terms, which meets monthly. Legal and engineering services, as well as all construction and maintenance, are contracted out. [24]

Sewer services are provided to other unincorporated areas of the Burbank Community by the West Valley Sanitation District, an independent sanitation district that also services neighboring cities and unincorporated areas. Waste collection in the other areas are the jurisdiction of the County of Santa Clara. Sewage treatment is provided by the San Jose/Santa Clara Water Pollution Control Plant a joint powers agency of which both districts are members. [25]

Landmarks

The second Burbank fire station, sold in the late 1970s, is on the northeast corner of Scott Street and Flagg Avenue. The unusually-high garage door is the only clue today that the residence was once a fire station. The fire district became part of Santa Clara County Fire Department, (a.k.a. Central Fire District,) about 1960 and is served by San Jose Fire Department under a contract.

The Burbank Theater is another local landmark supporting use of the name. It is no longer a working theater.
