Bryan Fish was honored by an infill-development organization whose board includes developers and real-estate professionals.

The Council of Infill Builders recognized Fish as an “Infill Pioneer” for Culver City housing-policy work. The Council describes itself as a network of professionals and practitioners advancing infill development and says it advocates legislation, endorses candidates, convenes practitioners and communicates with policymakers.

Its board includes people working directly in housing and real-estate development, including Meea Kang, whose Council biography describes more than 25 years developing affordable and mixed-income housing; Andrew Malick of Malick Infill Development; Jonathan Fearn, Senior Vice President of Development at Signature Development Group and formerly with Greystar; and Mott Smith, co-founder of Los Angeles real-estate development firm Civic Enterprise.

In his award post, Fish credited the policy work to city staff and a group of housing organizations and advocates: Livable Communities Initiative, Our Culver, Abundant Housing LA, California YIMBY, YIMBY LA, Inner City Law Center, Housing Action Coalition, Jesse Zwick, and Council colleague Yasmine-Imani McMorrin, whom Fish called his teammate on the housing/homelessness committee.

LCI is also part of the tracked Culver City network. Lindsay Sturman is an LCI co-founder; additional source records involving Sturman will be added as they are ingested.

DSA-LA recommended Bryan 'Bubba' Fish for Culver City Council in 2024.

August 2026 · Robert Frost Auditorium

Vote16 town hall and CCUSD booking chronology.

A Vote16 Culver City event graphic identified Robert Frost Auditorium for a proposed town hall with LaJuan Allen, Laura Wray-Lake, Bryan “Bubba” Fish and a Culver City High School Vote16 student leader. CCUSD correspondence later documented the District's review and denial of the facility request.

Aug. 23

CCUSD was asked for booking records.

Correspondence asked CCUSD for paperwork showing booking details for the advertised Frost event, stated that it appeared political and asked how District policy applied. A follow-up later that day sent the current policy.

Aug. 24

A CPRA request sought rental records and communications.

The request sought renter identity, classification, agreement and payment records and was expanded to communications with the sponsoring entity, District staff, Board members, listed speakers or others regarding the event request.

Aug. 25

Superintendent Jiménez denied the Frost request.

Jiménez later stated that the administrator overseeing Frost Auditorium requests brought him a request on August 25. He said he denied it under Board Policy 1160 because the forum was not available to all sides of the issue on an equitable basis, and that the group was notified that day.

Aug. 28

CCUSD reported no disclosable responsive records.

CCUSD's response to the August 24 request stated that, subject to the CPRA standards and exemptions described in its response, the District did not possess disclosable records responsive to the request.

Unresolved documentary question: the available records do not document the steps by which the proposed Frost event reached public promotion before the August 25 facility request described by Jiménez. They do not establish whether any earlier arrangements occurred through written communications, oral communications, a facility-reservation system, or another process.
