A summary of significant Los Angeles City Hall decisions affecting the Westside in the last week.

CITY COUNCIL

* SANTA MONICA MOUNTAINS: Councilman Marvin Braude has introduced a proposal that opposes pending state legislation to abolish the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy, a local agency that controls recreational development in the Santa Monica mountains. The pending bill by Assemblyman Jerry Eaves (D-Rialto) would transfer authority to a state agency.

* CRENSHAW RENEWAL: Approved spending $85,000 to hire the development and consulting firm of Katz Hollis to study the feasibility of expanding the Crenshaw Redevelopment Area, which includes the Crenshaw Mall. The proposed expansion would include other small businesses in a three-block area west of the mall. The council also agreed to spend $117,960 to hire Terry A. Hayes Associates to prepare an environmental impact report for the proposed expansion.

* BALLOT MEASURES: Council President John Ferraro has introduced a proposal to place police reforms, including limiting the time of service for the police chief, at the top of a list of four city measures on the June 2 ballot.

BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS

* WALK OF FAME: Approved adding the names of actress Mary Tyler Moore and actor Brock Peters to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. A ceremony for Moore is scheduled for March 20 at 11:30 a.m. in front of the Hollywood Galaxy Theatre Complex. The ceremony for Peters will be April 23 at 11:30 a.m. in front of the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel.

ARTS, HEALTH, HUMANITIES COMMITTEE

* POOL REPAIR: Approved spending $251,368 to repair a swimming pool at Rancho Cienega Sports Center in the Crenshaw area, which has been closed since March, 1990, because of severe plumbing leaks. The funds were left over from other completed citywide projects in the Department of Recreation and Parks. The council must make a final decision on the project.
