Westside Council Approves $6,000 in Neighborhood Grants

The Westside Neighborhood Council approved two neighborhood purpose grants at its May 14 meeting.

The council chair noted the board had $18,000 in funds and could carry over at most $10,000, leaving $8,000 to spend before the fiscal year ended.

The board approved $4,000 to the Westcoast Coalition for tree well clearing, graffiti and trash removal on Westwood Boulevard from Pico to Santa Monica Boulevard.

Tiffany Quintero, a company representative, attended the meeting to present the project.

The vote passed with one abstention from Seat 12.

The board also approved $2,000 to FOWLA to design, market, and promote a Shop Local campaign for the council.

FOWLA plans to hire Yvonne Condes to carry out the work.

That vote passed unanimously.
