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

* APPOINTMENT: Approved the appointment of Viola I. Canales to the Board of Civil Services Commissioners. Canales replaces Julie Deopian, who resigned. Canales is a resident of the Brentwood-Pacific Palisades area.

* HANDBILLS: Approved a proposal by Zev Yaroslavsky and Michael Woo that will allow the city to prosecute any businesses or individuals whose names appear on handbills placed on automobiles. By the council action, those people who advertise by placing the handbills on vehicles can be held legally responsible for any problems that might arise from the distribution. It is illegal to place such advertisements on vehicles. The city attorney’s office is now preparing an ordinance.

* LOAN: Approved a $94,401 Community Redevelopment Agency’s loan to John and Grace Park to remodel a duplex in Hollywood and convert it into a child-care facility. The center will be available to children from low- and moderate-income families.

RECREATION AND PARK COMMISSION

* CIVIL DISTURBANCES: Approved a request to seek $1.3 million from public or private funds to replace an 8,000-square-foot lodge at Hollywoodland Camp in Griffith Park that was destroyed by fire during the recent rioting. Board members voted to ask for either federal disaster funds, private donations or city money to replace the lodge, which they say serves many inner-city youths during the summer months.

HOW THEY VOTED: How Westside representatives voted on selected issues.

* CHILD CARE: Approved a proposal authorizing the Community Redevelopment Agency to purchase a large turn-of-the-century home in Highland Park from the Southwest Museum for $300,000.
