City Charter Reform Commission that will be making recommendations to L.A. City Council on what reforms should be advanced to the 2026 ballot.

- Tuesday 7/30 - On the City Council Agenda, three HLA-related ongoing items aimed at bringing the city into compliance with the Healthy Streets L.A. ballot measure as it implements the Mobility Plan
- Wednesday 7/31 - Council will again consider the misguided motion from Yaroslavsky, Blumenfield, Lee, and Park that was initially intended to hand Jewish security organizations, including Magen Am, $1 million to provide security services to Jewish houses of worship, community centers and schools.
