Learn how to conduct CPR in 10 minutes. Members of the Los Angeles County Fire Department will be on hand from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., demonstrating how to conduct CPR. The technique being demonstrated is bystander (“sidewalk”) CPR, which is hands only; no special equipment involved. Statistics show that only 32 percent of cardiac arrest victims receive CPR from bystanders because many people are afraid they might do something wrong. Interested residents should just show up at Great Hall in and the firemen will instruct each person individually. The quick demonstration is free.
It’s a light agenda for the Planning Commission’s meeting starting at 6:30 p.m. in the Council Chamber in . The Commission will hear two zone text amendments. The first deals with airspace subdivisions in residential buildings, an item primarily concerned with separating the common areas in residential portions of mixed-use buildings from the common areas in commercial portions. The second concerns providing reasonable accommodations to persons with disabilities.
