  • L.A. Opens Applications to Grants for Artists a Ected by COVID-19
    L.A. Opens Applications to Grants for Artists Aected by COVID-19 By City News Service Published August 14, 2020 Los Angeles began oering artists in the city the chance to apply for one-time grant of $500 to $1,500 today if they can demonstrate that they’ve been adversely aected by the coronavirus. The grants are available until Sept. 1 or until the rst 600 applicants have been approved. The citywide COVID-19 Emergency Response Program for Individual Artists, administered by the Department of Cultural Aairs, is the rst COVID- 19 relief fund specically for individual artists. ADVERTISEMENT “Local artists and arts nonprots are the creative heart of Los Angeles,” Councilman David Ryu said. “The work of writers, musicians, painters and all artists help make Los Angeles the vibrant and dynamic city we love.” To qualify, artists must demonstrate nancial need and detrimental eects caused by COVID-19, such as an inability to pay rent or bills. Funds are available to artists of all kinds, including DJs, writers, visual artists and more, Ryu said. Artists can apply for the grants at culturela.org/grants-and- calls/citywide-covid-19-emergency-response- program-for-individual-artists/ . The $340,000 fund was created after Ryu introduced a motion seeking to repurpose his council district’s Arts Development Fee fund, money that comes to each council district from commercial developments that can be used to support arts projects, facilities and arts education programs that are free or low-cost and accessible to the public. Councilmen Gil Cedillo, Bob Blumeneld, Paul Koretz, Marqueece Harris- Dawson, Herb Wesson and Joe Buscaino added their Arts Development Fee fund dollars as well.

Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti released a few weeks earlier. City spending on housing appeared on Nguyen’s graph as a sliver compared to over $3 SUBSCRIBE billion going to the Los Angeles Police Department — 54 percent of all discretionary spending — which she considered an “obscene amount.” Municipal government budgets are usually an “obscure, niche, boring” topic, Nguyen conceded, but when she placed the numbers in a chart, “I think it’s so visually impactful — you see why our society is so messed up just from that graph.” Under Garcetti’s budget, most city agencies faced cuts to deal with the economic downturn, but police were slated to get a boost, including a $41 million bonus package arranged with the police union.

  • Dear Mayor Garcetti
    Dear Mayor Garcetti, The members of the Hollywood Hills West Neighborhood Council are deeply troubled by the revelations contained in a recent audit issued by the City Controller’s Office. According the report, the City has failed to charge developers fees which could have created tens of millions of dollars in revenue. Also troubling is the Controller's discovery that over $50 million in fees that have been collected are sitting in various accounts without being used. The Controller's report makes a comparison with the cities of San Francisco and Portland, which together collected $127 million in impact fees during the fiscal year 2013-2014. During the same period, Los Angeles collected less than $5 million, even though the value of permitted construction was greater than San Francisco and Portland combined. We are disturbed to hear that the City of LA, which has been struggling for years to balance its budget, is receiving approximately 4% of what other West Coast cities receive from developers. How our elected officials have failed to take advantage of this revenue stream is baffling to say the least. In a city where infrastructure is crumbling, affordable housing is disappearing, parks are barely maintained and public services are suffering from years of budget cuts, it is extremely frustrating to learn that our elected officials somehow neglected to impose fees that are commonly collected in cities all over the country. We could have had tens of millions of dollars (possibly hundreds of millions) in our coffers to deal with the problems listed above, but instead our elected officials promote new taxes and higher fines as a way of generating revenue.

  • 180207 PWGR Letter FUSE
    February 7, 2018 Councilmember Blumenfield and Public Works and Gang Reduction Committee Los Angeles City Hall 200 N Spring St. Los Angeles, CA 90012 RE: 17-1311 FUSE Corps Fellow Report / Street Related Infrastructure Dear Chair Councilmember Blumenfield and committee members, Time and time again, we have found that many agree on the problems highlighted in the FUSE report, “Evaluation of the State of Street Related Infrastructure Programs in Los Angeles” (CF# 17-1311). We all recognize the City of Los Angeles struggles with infrastructure project and service delivery. The report is only the latest document to point out these concerns and not the first attempt to find solutions. We are heartened that this Committee Chair Councilmember Blumenfield originally put forth a motion to create a Citywide Infrastructure Strategic Plan (CF#13-1384) back in 2013. And were supportive of the “Save our Streets LA” initiative spearheaded by Councilmembers Buscaino and Englander during that time as well. Similar to the 2013 motion, the FUSE report recommendation we are most excited about is the reinstitution of a citywide Capital Improvement Plan (CIP), Rec 2.5. Infrastructure elements such as sidewalks and street furniture are routinely separated from mobility and transportation safety planning, even though these are all critical components for people walking, rolling, and reliant on transit. And Los Angeles is the only major City in the country that currently lacks a citywide capital plan. How can we develop a multi-year plan and budget for all elements in our public right-of-way? We all share a vision: a safe and thriving City where the public right-of-way serves people of all ages, abilities, and modes of travel.
