1. RELAXED PARKING DURING THE JEWISH HOLIDAYS
The Council Office has notified us that parking will be relaxed in our community during the upcoming Jewish holidays. For a complete list of dates and locations where the parking rules will be relaxed, please click here:
Relaxed Parking – Jewish Holidays 2022
Please note that portions of Strathmore and Westholme near Hillel will not have relaxed parking, per Hillel’s conditional use permit.
2. PROPOSED FILMING – WYTON DR.
PROPOSED FILMING – Germany’s Next Top Model is interested in filming at 10350 Wyton Dr. from Nov. 4 – Dec. 17 with additional days for prep and strike. All filming would be done with a small crew entirely on property with no street closures, and no street parking. The reality/docu style filming of the models on this show as they go about their daily lives cooking, interviews, phone calls to family back home, and practicing their runway walks. None of this involves noise at a level that will be heard beyond this property. The show’s location manager will be available 24/7 during the entire production period.
As this house has been previously rented as an AirB&B for parties, this would ensure two months of quiet activity.
FIlmLA requires that a survey be taken of the homes in close proximity to this location. Survey takers have and will continue to visit those nearby homes in the next few days. We encourage your cooperation as filming is important to the economy of our city and this production will be making a donation to your HOA which directly benefits our neighborhood.
3. UPDATED MASKING GUIDANCE
Starting Friday, September 23, the LA Dept. of Publich Health aligns with updated masking guidance from the state:
- Indoor masking shifts to personal preference (unless required by the site)
- Allow correctional facilities & shelters to make masks optional when COVID-19 levels are low & no recent outbreaks
- No longer need to wear a mask when at the airport or riding public transportation.

5. “ANKLE-BITER” MOSQUITOS PLAGUE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
From the Westwood-Century City Patch:
The Aedes mosquito is an invasive, nasty little bloodsucker commonly known as an “ankle-biter”. The Aedes mosquito is not like the mosquitos Californians are used to.
Atypical of other mosquitos that usually go for just one bite at dawn or dusk, Aedes mosquitos are aggressive and love to bite people during the day according to Aaron Arugay, Executive Director of Los Angeles County West Vector Control.
These mosquitos breed quicker in smaller containers than others. Their eggs can be found in any container with standing water, even something as tiny as a bottlecap. Most Aedes activity in a community comes from residential backyards.
To combat the spread of Aedes mosquitos, vector control agencies recommended people get rid of all standing water. Most mosquitos lay eggs on the surface of the water, but Aedes mosquitos lay their eggs on the sides of containers so simply dumping out the water may not eliminate the bugs.
During the drought, many residents have been saving their own recycled water and storing it outside in order to use less water, but Arugay said if these reserves are kept uncovered, they could become another breeding ground for the mosquitos.
It’s recommended that residents do away with plant saucers and keep repellant handy to help control the spread of the Aedes mosquito.
