Message from the President:
Our Board meeting on August 14, 2025, featured several presentations, including remarks by U.S. Congressman Brad Sherman on federal earmarks, and informative presentations on SBA loans, the status of street lighting in the Palisades, and a new “Palisades Community Renewal Center” (to open in Santa Monica). A recording of the Congressman’s remarks can be seen HERE; the latter three presentations can be see HERE. The Board also voted unanimously to approve 1) several important PPCC bylaws amendments; 2) a motion to support the subway options for Metro’s transit corridor project in the Sepulveda Pass, and 3) a motion to support CW Park’s motion in City Council regarding City compliance with AB 747 and evacuation planning.
