L.A. City Council member Adrin Nazarian wants to put a measure on the ballot that levy a parcel tax on large, private recreational membership-based clubs such as golf courses within city limits. VAN NUYS, CA - April 16, 2026: Los Angeles city council member Adrin Nazarian speaks at a press conference where the Los Angeles Groundwater Replenishment Project is being constructed at the Donald C. Tillman Water Reclamation Plant in Van Nuys, CA, on April 16, 2026. The Los Angeles Groundwater Replenishment Project is currently under construction to double its water-purifying capacity, a huge win for environmental sustainability.
