- Varies – L.A. County Public Health’s 2 p.m. COVID-19 briefings are one or two days each week. Watch at the County Channel, Channel 94 on most cable systems, or via the County of Los Angeles Facebook page, where broadcast briefings are archived.
- Tuesday 2/8 – At its regular 10 a.m. meeting, the L.A.

Mar Vista Voice is encouraging concerned folks to call in to oppose the motion – see Twitter thread. For details, see meeting agenda or Council File 21-1115.
