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

* GANG ABATEMENT: Councilman Richard Alatorre asked the council to consider spending $15,000 to pay for a 90-day special enforcement effort by the Police Department to reduce the drug- and gang-related activities at the Wyvernwood Garden Apartments in Boyle Heights. The money would pay for overtime accrued by the officers.

* HISTORIC MONUMENT: Approved placing the Golden State Mutual Life Insurance Building on the list of the city’s historical-cultural monuments. The Spanish Colonial Revival-style building at 4261 S. Central Ave. was designed by architect James Homer Garatt and constructed in 1928.

* RIOT-RECOVERY FUNDS: Approved a $500,000 contract with the Los Angeles Unified School District to provide job training to 45 South-Central Los Angeles residents. The program will also provide the participants with 400 hours of employment at a public agency at $6.75 an hour. The money is part of a federal grant given to the city after last year’s riots.
