A summary of selected City Hall actions this week affecting central Los Angeles. : CITY COUNCIL

FUNDS FOR SERVICE GROUPS--Approved $55,000 to support three community service organizations in South-Central Los Angeles. The groups are the Power of Love Christian Fellowship, which provides tutoring and employment training; Girls Inc., which provides computer classes and health education, and Bethel AME Church, which offers college and career preparation.

* STUDENT TUTORING--Approved $5,000 in Community Development Department funds to start an after-school tutoring program at the Hollenbeck Youth Center. The tutors will be students from Roosevelt High School, UCLA and USC. The program is for students who scored poorly on the California Test of Basic Skills.

* BUILDINGS FIXED--Removed several buildings from the Rent Escrow Account Program, also known as REAP. The owners fixed various problems that had caused tenants to complain. REAP is designed to prompt landlords to quickly repair and better maintain their buildings. Once a building is placed in REAP, the tenants put their rents into a city account; the city keeps $50 of every rent payment and the remainder is turned over to the landlords only after repairs are made. The following buildings were removed from the program: 420 N. Coronado St. (plumbing, gas, electrical and stairway violations); 211 Berendo St. (electrical); 4257 Degnan Blvd. (heating); 4203 Edgehill Drive (heating).

* RESTAURATEUR HONORED--Approved a resolution honoring Julio Maeso, owner and founder of the Bucket, a popular hamburger stand in Eagle Rock that is about to be sold. The good-natured wisecracks that Maeso directs at his customers are part of the charm of the 25-year-old Bucket. The resolution was presented by Councilman Mike Hernandez, a longtime customer.

HOW THEY VOTED

* TRACKING BULLET SALES--Instructed the city attorney to prepare an ordinance requiring firearms sellers to keep a record of ammunition buyers. Under the new law, similar to one recently adopted in Pasadena, customers would have to provide valid identification when purchasing ammo, and the store will have to keep records of the purchases and forward the information to the police. The proposal was opposed by Councilman Rudy Svorinich Jr., who said that “local controls on issues like this don’t work.” But Councilman Richard Alarcon said, “If one person might not be killing somebody because of this ordinance, then you should vote for it.” Passed 9-2. Voting yes: Jackie Goldberg, Hernandez, Nate Holden, Mark Ridley-Thomas, Rita Walters. Voting no: Svorinich. Absent: Richard Alatorre.
