3. STORM DAMAGE – PROPERTY TAX RELIEF
From the Westwood-Century City Patch:
Homeowners in LA County could be eligible for a tax break if they experienced flooding, mudslides or other storm damage.
In the aftermath of recent heavy rainstorms, Los Angeles County residents who experienced flooding, mudslides or other damage to their property can apply for financial relief.
Under the Los Angeles County Assessor’s Misfortune and Calamity Tax Relief program, homeowners will be offered a reassessment of their property value that reflects the damage incurred, potentially lowering tax obligations. The program stipulates the property loss must amount to more than $10,000 to qualify, officials said.

4. CVS MINUTE CLINIC CLOSURES
Last week, CVS Pharmacy released details of plans to close many of its MinuteClinic locations in Southern California by the end of February. According to company officials, 25 MinuteClinic locations will be closed by Feb. 25 “to help support future growth and design the next evolution of community health destination.”
These are the nearby locations that will be impacted:
- 10889 Wellworth Ave. in Westwood
- 2505 Santa Monica Blvd. in Santa Monica
“As part of our normal practice, we continually evaluate MinuteClinic’s footprint to ensure it meets the demands of our patients and consumers and aligns with our health care delivery strategy,” the company said in a statement, noting that the “difficult” decision to close the clinics was a part of that evaluation.
Eleven MinuteClinic locations will remain open in the area, in addition to on-demand care — which offers telehealth services — that is offered seven days a week, including evenings and weekends, MinuteClinic spokeswoman Monica Prinzing said.

5. IN MEMORY OF STAN BERMAN
We are sorry to announce the recent passing of Stan Berman, owner of Stan’s Donuts in Westwood Village.
For over 50 years, Stan’s was the go-to place for thousands of students, families and visitors to the Village. Stan was honored by the City of LA for the great neighbor that he was and his years of service to our city. He was the Grand Marshall for Holmby Westwood’s July 4th Picnic and Parade and contributed hundreds of red, white, and blue donuts. He will be missed!
