Councilwoman Dionne Falk (District 4) used her weekly tap-in to announce a Feb. 18 district town hall at Hollywood Park Casino, mark the reopening of Morningside Park Library and announce the appointment of Anya Christiansen to the Inglewood Arts Commission.
Falk opened by celebrating local resident Gerald Briley’s 105th birthday, saying, "He turned a 105 years old this week, and I'm telling you, he is so amazing." She said she presented Briley with a commendation and described visiting him as a "wonderful, wonderful day." The remarks highlighted neighborhood continuity and local recognition for long-term residents.
On the library, Falk said Morningside Park Library — closed for many years — held a ribbon-cutting on Jan. 17 and has been refurbished with a children’s reading area and a small computer lab for classes and homework. "It's not a big library, but when I tell you we did a lot with that little library, it is a special, nice, new feature in the city of Inglewood," she said, and urged residents to visit.
Falk also recounted attending an MLK Jr. parade in Los Angeles and praised the LA Sentinel for organizing the event in its first year at the helm. "They did a really good job," she said, noting the warm weather and broad participation by elected officials.
The councilwoman announced the first town hall of 2026 for her district, scheduled for Feb. 18 at Hollywood Park Casino and planned to begin "at about 06:00." She asked residents to mark their calendars and promised updates for the district.
On personnel, Falk said she recently appointed Anya Christiansen to the Arts Commission to fill the seat left after the death of former arts commissioner Vicki Perriman Banks. "She has been a very active and engaged resident and very much a participant in District 4," Falk said, adding that Christiansen attended her first Arts Commission meeting the night before.
Falk closed with a birthday wish for Planning Commissioner Cheryl Shaw Williams and a sign-off to viewers. The councilwoman encouraged residents to attend the Feb. 18 town hall for further updates.
