    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.

Also included are results for the special election in City Council District 6, Ballot Measures, Los Angeles Unified School District Board of Education, and Los Angeles Community College District Board of Trustees. CITY OF LOS ANGELES Mayor City Councilmember Eric Garcetti defeated City Controller Wendy Greuel 53.92 percent to 46.07 percent.

  • Urban Forest Support of Motion Feb 6 2019
    February 4, 2019 PUBLIC WORKS AND GANG REDUCTION COMMITTEE [email protected] Committee Meeting - Wednesday, February 6, 2019 RE: File # 18-0988 Agenda Item #5 - Support for motion and related items. To Committee members COUNCILMEMBER BOB BLUMENFIELD (CHAIR) COUNCILMEMBER DAVID E. RYU COUNCILMEMBER JOE BUSCAINO COUNCILMEMBER MITCH O'FARRELL COUNCILMEMBER NURY MARTINEZ Dear Committee Members, Studio City Residents Association supports the motions presently before this committee as indicated above i.e. amendments to the protected tree ordinance, tree replacement programs and for increased funding for staffing at the Bureau of Street Services to provide funds for additional canopy management and planning. Rational for support on the motions: Los Angeles city is in need of a Sustainable Urban Forest. 1. Los Angeles has the largest urban forest in the nation. If measures to protect and value our trees are not taken then the Los Angeles Urban Forest will become an ongoing increasing liability. 2. As trees mature they appreciate in value. These values are identifiable and quantifiable. Elements of other city infrastructures are carried as an expense but for every $1 invested in a street tree, there is a return on investment is calculated at $5.82. 3. Trees support healthy neighborhoods and vibrant business corridors. Shoppers will travel to shop in districts with high quality trees. 4. Temperatures are amplified by buildings and roads absorbing and reflecting heat up to 15- 20 degrees above ambient temperatures. There is a “Heat Island” effect, however, shaded surfaces reduce this rise and strategically placed trees can save up to 56% on annual air-conditioning costs.
