Welcome to LA's BEST Online

LA Best is a nationally recognized after-school education enrichment and recreation program serving more than 26,0000 children with the greatest needs and the fewest resources.

Los Angeles Councilman Bill Rosendahl won election in May 2005 with a commanding mandate for positive change. He represents the 11th District, which includes the communities of Brentwood, Del Rey, Mar Vista, Marina del Rey, Pacific Palisades, Palms, Playa del Rey, Playa Vista, Venice, West LA and Bill serves as chair of the council’s powerful Public Works Committee, which has oversight of most essential city services, such as tree trimming, street repair, street lighting, street beautification projects, and capital improvements.

He serves as vice-chair of the Commerce Committee, which oversees Los Angeles World Airports, including Los Angeles International Airport. Bill is also a member of the council’s Transportation Committee, Budget & Finance Committee, and Ad Hoc Committee on Homelessness, which he co-founded. He is also one of the city’s appointees to the Santa Monica Bay Restoration Commission and the Exposition Light Rail Construction Authority.

Since taking office in July 2005, Bill has focused on: stopping the expansion of Los Angeles International Airport, promoting mass transit, enhancing public safety, curbing overdevelopment, standing up for tenants’ rights and for affordable housing, seeking solutions to the problem of homelessness, and giving our neighborhoods a greater voice in city decision-making. His most notable achievement so far has been the historic agreement between LAX and airport neighbors, ending airport expansion and promoting regional aviation.

A resident of Mar Vista, the largest community in the 11th District, Bill is the first openly gay man elected to the Los Angeles City Council, and is the city’s highest-ranking GLBT official.

Prior to his election, Bill was an educator and an award-winning television broadcaster with a long record as a leader in Los Angeles civic affairs.

While he served as Distinguished Professor at Cal State Dominguez Hills until his election, Bill is best known as producer and moderator of critically-acclaimed public affairs television shows. As host of "Local Talk", "Week in Review" and "Beyond the Beltway" Bill created a needed forum for discussion of public affairs.
