Central Hollywood Neighborhood Council meeting, August 24, 2026

August 24, 2026, 6 p.m. · Updated October 2, 2026

From the minutes: The Central Hollywood Neighborhood Council's board on Aug. 24, 2026, voted 8-0 to oppose CF 15-0989-S68, the City's LA28 Enhanced City Resources Master Agreement, and CF 26-2000, the new Council committee structure that splits housing from homelessness, according to the statements it filed Aug. 28. It passed a letter asking LAPD, CD 13 and City Planning to intervene on Godfrey Hotel operations, with one member abstaining, according to the council's minutes. Two versions of the minutes are posted, one linked from the Sept. 28 agenda and a longer one; they differ on the Morningside Court request, and neither states a result on the public restroom letter or the 6600 Sunset Blvd. airspace subdivision.

Outcomes for the August 24, 2026 meeting of the Central Hollywood Neighborhood Council come from its posted minutes.

Outcomes come from two documents in the council’s board meeting folders, both dated Aug. 24 and both copies of the agenda with notes typed under the items: the minutes linked from the Sept. 28 agenda and a longer version that records more motions. Both give board members’ first names only and neither gives vote counts. On Sept. 28 the August minutes came up for approval with the note “need to adjust the minutes,” and the notes of that meeting record a motion, a second and no vote. The longer version lists seven members present at the call to order (longer minutes); the other lists Nyesha Love absent and Charles Taylor arriving at 6:20 p.m. (agenda-linked minutes). The 8-0 counts for items VI.Q and VI.R come from the statements filed on each council file.

VI.C. Public restroom access in Hollywood

• What it asks: A letter supporting more public restroom access in Hollywood; the agenda links a draft (agenda).
• What happened: A motion to send the letter was made and seconded, and neither version of the minutes says whether it passed. The longer version says the letter concerns restrooms in De Longpre Park, records board members asking for lights, cameras, security and regular cleaning, and lists three yes votes (longer minutes). The other version lists three yes votes, one of them from a member it marks absent, and one no vote under the first name of a former board member whose seat the same document lists as vacant (agenda-linked minutes).

VI.D. Left turns from Morningside Court onto Selma Avenue

• What it asks: A request for action to LADOT, CD 13 and other agencies on unsafe conditions when vehicles turn left from Morningside Court onto Selma Avenue (agenda).
• What happened: The two versions differ. The longer one records a speaker saying parked cars block the view at the intersection, board members suggesting a right-turn-only rule, and a motion to send a letter, with no vote (longer minutes). The other records the request as passing with every vote in favor except one no, from a member it marks absent (agenda-linked minutes).

VI.O. Godfrey Hotel operations

• What it asks: A letter to LAPD, CD 13 and City Planning requesting intervention on the Godfrey Hotel’s operations. The agenda does not describe the concerns (agenda).
• What happened: Passed, with one member abstaining (longer minutes). The other version records nothing under this item (agenda-linked minutes).

VI.P. Airspace subdivision at 6600 Sunset Blvd.

• What it asks: A letter supporting or opposing an airspace subdivision at 6600 Sunset Blvd. The agenda links the planning application but gives no case number (agenda).
• What happened: No result is recorded. The longer version notes that one member had to leave during the item (longer minutes); the other records nothing (agenda-linked minutes).

VI.Q. LA28 Enhanced City Resources Master Agreement (CF 15-0989-S68)

• What it asks: Oppose CF 15-0989-S68. The agenda says Controller Mejia, CD 13 Council member Soto-Martinez and others have warned the agreement could expose residents to tax increases to cover LA28 losses, and urges the City to keep its commitment to zero-cost Games (agenda).
• Contact on the statement: Michael Chick, chair of the Legislative Action Committee (CIS).
• What happened: Passed unanimously (longer minutes). The opposition statement filed Aug. 28 gives the vote as 8-0 (CIS).

VI.R. New Council committee structure (CF 26-2000)

• What it asks: Oppose CF 26-2000, the 2026 Council standing committee structure adopted as item 37 on Aug. 11, 2026, which the agenda says separates housing policy from homelessness, and urge the Council to restore a combined Housing and Homelessness Committee (agenda).
• What happened: Passed unanimously (longer minutes). The opposition statement filed Aug. 28 gives the vote as 8-0 (CIS).

Other votes

• Vacant seat and secretary (VI.A-B): The agenda-linked minutes record a motion on the vacant seats as unanimous (agenda-linked minutes). The longer version records that Suzanne Ashe expressed interest in the seat, and no vote (longer minutes). The Sept. 28 agenda lists Ashe among the board’s members. No secretary appointment is recorded (longer minutes).
• Passed unanimously: the 2027 election worksheet, with poll hours the minutes print as “10am-2pm, or 12 to 6 PM”; up to $200 for media editing software; a rule putting the council’s vision statement on all outreach materials; renaming the Homelessness Committee the Housing and Homelessness Committee; a new Business Affairs Committee; the committee assignments; the PLUM mission statement; and the PLUM standard conditions for letters of support (longer minutes).
• No vote recorded: the rule requiring an email address and a social media follow to enter prize activities at tabling events, which was moved and seconded, and the July expenditure report, which was moved (longer minutes).
• Postponed: the appointment of two budget representatives (longer minutes).
