City Council· posted Sep 22Motion

Residents hit by emergencies like the Boyle Heights warehouse fire could get help paying Los Angeles Department of Water and Power bills from a fund built on private donations rather than ratepayer surcharges. Councilmember Ysabel Jurado asks the City Attorney, LADWP, and the City Administrative Officer to report on whether such a trust fund is feasible.
