DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES — Today is Monday, November 3, and the schedule for City Hall is light around Election Day. Six committee meetings are canceled in the first three days of this week. The week's big ticket item comes Wednesday, when the Council considers the Commercial Reuse motion recently introduced by Councilman Huizar.

MONDAY: Only the Public Safety committee is meeting, with Budget and Finance canceled.

TUESDAY: It's Election Day, but Council's in session.

Item 12 is CF 08-2541, the motion allowing CRA to restructure some loans with SRO Housing Corporation. This was at Housing, Community and Economic Development on October 22.

Also, Council is considering all items that would go on the March 2009 ballot. You can view the supplemental agenda as a PDF to see what might be coming our way.

WEDNESDAY: Council's again in chambers. Item 16 is CF 08-2868, the Huizar motion that would create a taskforce on commercial reuse in the Historic Core. While the taskforce considers how to rework code and incentive use, the motion would immediately put projects in the Historic Core into the case management system, a structure designed to guide and speed the approval process.

Really? How did that happen so fast? I mean it's great but isn't that pretty uncommon?

Motions asking for city departments to do something and report back often make it through quickly. This motion doesn't create the new rules, it just sets up the taskforce to do so.
