A summary of selected City Hall actions in the past week affecting Central Los Angeles.

CITY COUNCIL

* BUSINESS DISTRICT: Authorized the Community Development Department to issue a $150,000 contract to Industrial Community Revitalization Inc. for planning the Goodyear Tract, a 137-acre Business Improvement District in South-Central. If the district is established, the area bounded by Avalon Boulevard and Central, Gage and Slauson avenues would be converted into an industrial park. An assessment levied on businesses in the area would pay for security guards, security fencing, maintenance, lighting and landscaping.

* FALSE ALARMS: Directed the city attorney to revise a proposed ordinance intended to cut down on the number of police responses to false alarms. Among the revisions is one that would require alarm companies to call customers to verify that a police response is needed. The proposal also calls for reducing from four to two the number of false alarms a customer is allowed before incurring a fine. A penalty of $80 would be charged for each false alarm over the limit. There were 161,804 alarms recorded by the Police Department last year, 153,107 of which were false alarms.

* THIRD STREET BRIDGE: Approved a plan by St. Vincent Medical Center to build a pedestrian bridge over 3rd Street, just west of Alvarado, that will connect their existing facilities with two buildings under construction. The bridge is expected to have 700 to 1,000 crossings a day.

* STREET CLOSURES: Approved temporary closure of the following streets on Sept. 18 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. for the Central American Independence Day Parade and Celebration: 7th Street between Alvarado and Parkview streets, Alvarado between 7th and Pico Boulevard, Pico between Normandie Avenue and Alvarado, and Normandie between Pico and 15th Street.

HOW THEY VOTED

How South-Central and Eastside City Council representatives voted on selected issues. * HOUSING PROGRAMS: Authorized the Community Redevelopment Agency to distribute $48 million from the Bunker Hill Housing Trust Fund. Of the total, $18 million will be allocated for earthquake recovery, $14 million for areas affected by the riot, $10 million for citywide housing and $5 million to replace housing of people displaced by the earthquake who meet income criteria. The council action overturned a vote two weeks ago that would have allocated $18 million for citywide housing and $14.7 million for earthquake recovery. A compromise plan was rejected. Councilman Zev Yaroslavsky argued that the earthquake was the biggest natural disaster in U.S. history and that offering less then half of the $48 million for quake victims was already a compromise. Councilman Mark Ridley-Thomas opposed the new package, arguing that the Housing Trust Fund money is for citywide housing, not just disaster relief. Passed 9-5. Voting yes: Richard Alatorre, Jackie Goldberg. Voting no: Mike Hernandez, Nate Holden, Ridley-Thomas, Rudy Svorinich Jr., Rita Walters.
