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

CITY COUNCIL

* AIDS WALK: Approved a temporary street closure along the route for AIDS Walk Los Angeles. The 6.2-mile walk will begin at 8 a.m. Sunday at 5555 Melrose Ave. in Hollywood. More than 17,000 people are expected to walk in the event to raise money to combat AIDS. City fees amounting to $7,351 were waived.

* RENT PROGRAM: Councilman Zev Yaroslavsky introduced a proposal he says would strengthen the city’s power to force slum landlords to more quickly repair their buildings. Under the proposal, rents would be placed in an escrow account if a landlord failed to repair life-threatening hazards in a timely fashion. Rents would be returned to tenants if a building were not repaired in six months, and a building would be vacated if it were not repaired in 12 months. Tenants would be relocated and the costs recovered through liens on the building.

* APPOINTMENTS: Approved the appointments of Joe C. Gelman and Susan McLane Bernfeld to the Board of Civil Service Commissioners. Gelman lives in the Bel-Air Estates area and Bernfeld lives in West Los Angeles.

* BLOCK PARTY: Approved the temporary closure of Hayes Drive in the Carthay Circle area from 2 to 7 p.m. Oct. 3 for a residents’ block party.

* WALK OF FAME: Approved adding the name of comedian Chevy Chase to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. A ceremony is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. Sept. 23 at 7021 Hollywood Blvd.
