1. City Approves Purchase Option Agreement for 9050 Washington Blvd (culvercitycrossroads.com) — Culver City officials have secured an option to buy the large office complex at 9050 Washington Blvd., potentially reshaping a key part of downtown. Over the next year, the city's finance authority will study whether a $103 million purchase could support parking, jobs, tourism, and future housing, using authority funds rather than the General Fund. Any final purchase or project will require another public vote.
2. Suspect arrested in fatal shooting of Culver City Bus driver in Mar Vista Thursday (smobserved.com) — Culver City residents are grappling with the fatal shooting of a Culver CityBus driver in nearby Mar Vista, which led the city to suspend bus service through the weekend so employees could grieve. Police say a passenger arguing over the route shot the driver on Thursday evening, and a suspect was arrested Friday as city leaders condemned the violence and honored the driver's service.
3.

4. Los Angeles County Sales Tax Jumps to 10.25% as Measure ER Takes Effect Amid Lawsuit – [your]NEWS (yournews.com) — Culver City shoppers are now paying an 11.25% sales tax, after Los Angeles County's Measure ER added a half-cent to rates across the region. The increase is expected to raise about $1 billion annually for county services but is currently tied up in a lawsuit, meaning the money sits in escrow while residents still pay more at the register. The measure narrowly passed and remains politically contested.
