The action: The council approved the Department of Transportation recommendation for a residential parking district with restrictions from 9:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. and two-hour parking available to all from 8:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., subject to installing diagonal parking on Chula Vista between Canyon and Cherimoya and delaying implementation until that diagonal parking is in place. The motion required and received a recorded tally of 14 ayes.

What supporters said: Business owners and merchants on the Franklin strip, including Susan Mindell Polifronio, said two-hour daytime parking on adjacent residential blocks is needed to keep small shops viable and recommended flexible hours or sided-based compromises. Roxanna Tynan of the Los Angeles Alliance for a New Economy described negotiated community benefits for a nearby redevelopment project and urged solutions that preserve small-business jobs.

What residents said: Several residents and neighborhood organizations, including Fran Reichenbach of the Beechwood Canyon Neighborhood Association and Rob Nudelman of Hollywood Heritage, supported the parking district to protect residents who said they lacked places to park after nightlife on the strip. Some business representatives said past valets and promises of off-street parking had not been honored and asked the council to secure parking lots before restrictions took effect.

Implementation and review: DOT said the district would not be effective until about March 12, 2002 (the date DOT circulated for the Chula Vista diagonal parking installation) and asked for a six-month follow-up report to the council on the district's effects.

Ending: The council approved the compromise package that aims to balance resident access and commercial activity and instructed DOT to work with the council office to implement diagonal parking and report back within six months.","The City Council approved a residential preferential parking district north of Franklin Avenue with hours restricted 9 p.m. to 8 a.m., directed diagonal parking be installed on Chula Vista before implementation and asked the Department of Transportation to review the district within six months.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6555402,"Council approves special resolution after park homicide; members call for saturated police response and community jobs",1730,5291000,7021000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3359582-4a41228716f1cd8c03ccfa7a0572644f&start=5291&end=7021","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3359582-4a41228716f1cd8c03ccfa7a0572644f/thumbnail_5291000.jpg","/articles/6555402/Los-Angeles-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/Council-approves-special-resolution-after-park-homicide-members-call-for-saturated-police-response-and-community-jobs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6555402-7454d6e54fd3608d5a14f5495d749989/orig.mp4?Expires=1770436885&Signature=dW5u16KCrylQu6OpKe4N3qw22hqNeG7W6FRgGnGFc2I1JTc38ipYeqk71s-xlYaMqB1QJO~zUdV6fO7QJgHiifYd4kmFvkGVZxeX1jGnDqPV5TsOWjxKaTGYs-xW16qSnR9c02ewVYlODcmUK6gReqFJx3zhEa-UyyS6ztvwnur3XXaDJrjsx6F~BQMIjclI~z~uOO0cnjXFFR7mXwvuDvewsrsaqBkNqLXkdPYB4TrqCIqRfx8HQzBjSSmw~9TJWVmJGnjVbYeCZhN3VrSSKXwveAMXCbcAP-AB7W4Mv4teccIBxhgUKCVC8ZQDO7Q7nTqemQnE6w2nHcWonEItGA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Los Angeles City Council on Tuesday approved a special resolution in response to the recent killing of a 13-year-old boy at a city recreation center and debated a package of follow-up measures including a reward, intensified police activity in affected divisions and expanded job opportunities for youth.

Why it matters: Councilmembers framed the killing at Saint Andrews Park as symptomatic of a wider surge in violent crime across several districts and said the city must provide both immediate law-enforcement responses and longer-term prevention through jobs and community services.

Details of council action: The council first made the procedural findings required to add an urgent item to the agenda after the city attorney reported the police asked for a reward in the case; members then approved the special item (recorded vote: 13 ayes). The council did not specify a dollar amount for the reward in the public portion of the transcript; the measure established the council's intention to post a reward and pursue an urgent follow-up.

Associated motions and discussion: Councilmember Nick Pacheco introduced a motion (seconded and discussed on the floor) asking that the city plan for an expected, front-loaded law-enforcement response after violent incidents: saturated police operations in the affected police division for a defined period (Pacheco described a model amounting to roughly three months of concentrated enforcement). Pacheco also proposed scaling the neighborhood prosecutor program to assign at least one neighborhood prosecutor per police division to work with senior lead officers.

Councilmember Mark Ridley-Thomas, who had led remarks at a community vigil, described the murder as “a heinous crime against a minor” and urged immediate action; other councilmembers echoed calls for cross-departmental coordination — parks, public works, DOT and police — to remove environmental locations that facilitate criminal activity (lighting, landscaping, vacant properties) and to provide visible policing.

Councilmember Jan Perry made a verbal motion asking all city departments to compile and report contracts that could be used to hire unskilled hourly workers through community-based organizations; she asked departments to provide the lists so councilmembers could pool resources to create immediate work opportunities. Councilmembers agreed to return follow-up items to a future agenda and to prepare written motions where required. Several councilmembers said they would seek federal and state assistance and re-prioritization of resources.

Ending: The council's action established a clear short-term priority (reward and directed follow-up) and surfaced several policy strands — intensified enforcement, neighborhood prosecution, and rapid job-creation through city contracts — that councilmembers said should return to the council for implementation details.","Following the killing of a 13-year-old at a city recreation center, the City Council approved a special resolution to post a reward and heard multiple motions urging a coordinated law-enforcement and jobs response, including a proposal for short-term saturated policing in affected divisions.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6555407,"State lawmakers urge Los Angeles to expand housing trust fund and back $2 billion bond",756,1494000,2250000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3359582-4a41228716f1cd8c03ccfa7a0572644f&start=1494&end=2250","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3359582-4a41228716f1cd8c03ccfa7a0572644f/thumbnail_1494000.jpg","/articles/6555407/Los-Angeles-City/Los-Angeles-County/California/State-lawmakers-urge-Los-Angeles-to-expand-housing-trust-fund-and-back-2-billion-bond","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6555407-d061cd6b572554f9d98acf54403d5230/orig.mp4?Expires=1770436885&Signature=Qi50yeHWRin~B4QkXGiHCOugCcH9HWQEZk7vfXFuFGgVByu0bgXCdKisL~AydaqYSMvh0eTYyUdTIEvAARgjhmelZVmWfRXLFGOaoPNubjtimwUkHHWBty5lD9vbWxUtzbpIByDW8AJUS-KjhDRB0kZUspJZPfweWvxN4zYc-JZssSmywvZUO51fqZJgcQZnQnv3~RJrAZVgqVQZCWOsavcqpBDpGqNL2kSuzE69~f8TZL0gLKiCnJhU6NfgHmHaMcWlMTHQFBw1-BeHJv60SpkWKr1pyr~opsec5tkxXAx-Tyy5tfuZ6QRXJpGO~nwZTOmnRPz5URs76D3J0gPT0Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Assemblymember Jackie Goldberg and other state lawmakers told the Los Angeles City Council on Tuesday that the city must increase funding for affordable housing and begin doing so from a renewable source, even if the full $100 million request is not immediately available.

Goldberg said the state and city face tight budgets but urged the council not to wait. “If you can't find the hundred million, find 75,000,000, but get started with it,” she told the council during the public comment period.

Why it matters: Council members heard that homelessness and the shortage of affordable units in Los Angeles are acute and growing. Lawmakers said a permanent, renewable funding source for a city housing trust fund and coordinated state action are needed to produce housing at scale.

Assemblymember Alan Lowenthal, who chairs the Assembly Housing and Community Development Committee, told the council the state will be a partner: “We will be a partner with you,” he said, and said he is committed to moving a large housing bond through the Legislature. Lowenthal and other speakers referenced a recent state allocation of roughly $500,000,000 that officials said would produce about 50,000 units over three years and stressed that local and state efforts must be coordinated to close a much larger shortfall.

Speakers urged the council to consider interim steps if a full $100 million cannot be found immediately. Goldberg and others suggested using hotel tax (TOT) revenues among other options and urged the council to adopt a durable revenue stream rather than an annual ask.

The delegation also said it will try to shield city funding from cuts in Sacramento and told council members state leaders will push for a November ballot housing bond estimated by supporters at $2,000,000,000. Assembly members in the room pledged to advocate for the bond in the Legislature and warned that placing a bond on the ballot requires the necessary legislative votes.

Council reaction and next steps: Council members acknowledged the state's support and the political and fiscal constraints facing the city. Speakers asked the council to phase increases if necessary and to reconvene with state partners to align funding and programs.

Speakers from the Sacramento delegation concluded by urging immediate action to ramp up the city's housing trust fund and by pledging to work with the council on state-level measures that could supplement local funding.

Ending: Lawmakers left the council with a clear ask — create a permanent, renewable housing trust fund and begin with the largest feasible commitment now while state partners work to preserve and add resources at the state level.","A delegation of California legislators urged the Los Angeles City Council to increase the city's housing trust fund to a permanent, renewable source (ideally $100 million; at least $75 million if necessary) and pledged support for a proposed $2 billion statewide housing bond.","actionData","errors"]
