STANTON

The City Council tonight will revisit a modest 4-foot-by-6-inch hole in a wall along Cerritos Avenue and Courson Drive that has grown in controversy since it was brought to the city’s attention in January. The council will hear public comments on whether public or private funds should be used to close the gap, created in 1956 for a gutter to drain water from nearby homes. Earlier this year, officials found that the hole was no longer needed, following completion of a nearby drainage project, and the council allocated $1,500 from the general fund to close the opening. But that decision was reversed in March because most of the 134-foot wall is on private property. The council meets at 6:30 p.m. in chambers, 7800 Katella Ave.
