Brentwood Beat: Annual BHA Meeting Packs ’Em In

The annual meeting of the Brentwood Homeowners Association (BHA) is not to be missed. Top officials from the City and County all show up, a tribute to BHA’s influence in Brentwood.

District Attorney Nathan Hochman and Mayor Karen Bass applaud as City
Councilmember Traci Park (CD11) gives her report.

The meeting, held at Brentwood Middle School, was kicked off by BHA President Thelma Waxman. Despite the recent Palisades Fire, the mood was upbeat.  

The heroes of the LAFD were applauded – several times. Fire hydrants across LA are being repaired. Crime is down.  

LAFD firefighters received a lot of applause at the BHA Annual Meeting.

Communication is way UP in Brentwood, as BHA played a leading role in keeping Brentwood residents informed during the fire, reported Thelma Waxman. Homeless encampments have been reduced in number – not enough, but things are moving in a good direction, according to Mayor Bass.  

Free food is always a draw.

There is clear excitement about the upcoming World Cup, Super Bowl and Olympics that will be coming to Los Angeles. The excitement might be more about the progress that will be made getting LA ready than about the games themselves.  Fewer potholes, anyone?

Traffic was the grayish-to-dark cloud hanging over the meeting. Traffic on Sunset is always bad, but cleanup and construction vehicles driving in and out of the Palisades could be with us for years, according to CD11 Councilmember Traci Park.  

Anthony Avila, LAPD Senior Lead Officer Matthew Kirk and Carolyn Jordan.

Park is pushing to get as much of this traffic as possible routed down PCH, she said.
