A summary of significant Los Angeles City Hall decisions affecting the Westside in the last week. : CITY COUNCIL

* RECYCLE: Approved a proposal by Councilwoman Ruth Galanter that council committee agendas and related journals be printed on recycled white paper instead of colored paper. Because it is cheaper to recycle white paper, the change is being made to increase the probability that the material will be recycled and reused. That in turn will help the city meet state-mandated recycling goals.
