Message from the President:
Our next meeting on August 14, 2025, will feature a library update by the Friends of the Palisades Library, and a presentation on SBA loans. The Board will also vote on proposed bylaws amendments (see documents linked above), and we will have additional updates as well as a possible motion recommended by the Westside Regional Alliance of Councils (WRAC) regarding a proposed subway for Metro’s project for a transit corridor in the Sepulveda Pass.
At our last Board meeting on July 17, 2025, we were honored to hear from Councilwoman Traci Park and state Senator Ben Allen. The Councilwoman reported on Palisades recovery developments and her position on the proposal for a County “Rebuilding Authority.” Sen. Allen explained the original objectives of SB 549 (his bill to establish such an Authority) and his recent decision to pause the bill potentially until the next legislative session in 2026. He noted that he is working closely with Councilwoman Park; he explained the need for amendments, especially pertaining to governance structure; and he assured us that PPCC and the community will be engaged going forward for input. The Senator made clear that our community’s views will guide any next steps.
The Board unanimously passed a motion on 7/17 sponsored by the Executive Committee regarding the Authority proposal, which can be seen HERE.
We also passed three motions regarding homelessness recommended by WRAC. In addition, the Board elected Bonnie Burgess, nominated by the Three Chairs Committee and a long time resident, as Area Three 2nd Alternate representative. A recording of the meeting presentations can be seen HERE.
