All 10 candidates vying for the two open seats on the Beverly Hills City Council gathered at City Hall on Feb. 1 for a wide-ranging forum hosted by the Southwest Beverly Hills Homeowners Association. The forum marked the first time that all candidates sat on the same panel.
Even though some tense moments arose when audience members clashed with the Association’s President Ken Goldman, he told the Courier he was pleased with the event. Audience members walked away with a clear understanding of each candidate’s positions, said Goldman. He also thought the discussion about the housing element and the impacts of development in the Southwest region were particularly helpful.
