3. FOOD TRUCK REGULATION
Good news for neighbors who have expressed growing concern over food trucks causing traffic accidents, reducing driver visibility and creating quality of life issues such as property damage and littering. The Los Angeles City Council is adopting more sensible regulations that escalate fines on food trucks operating in residential areas for extended periods of time.
The new regulations prohibit food trucks from parking at any residential location for a period that exceeds 30 minutes, and also prohibits them from parking within two blocks they had been parked at said residential location within a four-hour period. Further, a food truck moving out of a location momentarily and then returning within the four-hour limitation does not reset the clock; the time and distance requirements still apply. Failure to comply will be treated as separate and distinct offenses and each subsequent violation will be subject to escalating parking penalties of $73 for a first violation, $123 for the second violation, and $173 for the third.
At this time, it is unclear whether Holmby Park is considered at “residential location” (the regulations may only apply to the residential side of the street). We will let you know when we get more information.
4. MOVIE PREMIERES – STREET CLOSURES
Warner Bros will be holding the Premiere of “Lego Ninjago”, at 11:00 AM on Saturday, September 16th, 2017 at the Regency Village Theaters, located at 961 Broxton Avenue in Westwood.
Fox Searchlight will be holding the Premiere of “Battle of the Sexes”, at 8:00 PM on Saturday, September 16th, 2017 at the Regency Village Theaters, located at 961 Broxton Avenue in Westwood.
There will be various sidewalk and street closures around the area of Broxton Avenue between Weyburn Avenue and Le Conte Avenue.

SEEKING PLUMBER
I am looking for a good plumber who is trustworthy and honest. If you have a recommendation, please contact tracypenhas@hotmail.com. Thanks!

CHANDELIER FOR SALE
Beautiful Maria Teressa 16 light crystal chandelier, measures 28 inches wide about the same height. Cost over $2,000 and is in perfect condition. This is the real thing, not a cheap knock off from China.
We have no suitable place for it in our new home and would like to find a buyer with whom to negotiate a reasonable price.
Buyer to then donate the agreed price to St Judes Children’s Hospital in exchange for the chandelier. This would effectively make the purchase tax deductible with the purchase price qualifying as a charitable donation. This way the chandelier finds a new home, and the charity benefits.
If you have an interest I have photographs available that I can email.
Thank you
