The election results were announced by the Election Committee at our board meeting on September 10, 2026. With over 80 persons in attendance, we heard an important presentation by LA Sanitation on trash collection in the Palisades. A recording of the presentation can be seen HERE. The board also considered and unanimously passed two significant motions: 1) approval of the Two-Year Strategic Plan for PPCC, proposed by the PPCC Executive Committee; and 2) approval of a PPCC Comment on the Federal Block Grant Funding Formula, recommended to the board by the CRCC (see CRCC information below). A recording of these two motions can be seen HERE.
________
PPCC also urges all Palisades residents at the time of the fire (whether or not you have returned) to take the important PPCC-NORC follow-up community survey (see letter and flyer linked above). The results will guide PPCC as we advocate community priorities during rebuilding and recovery.
Palisades Strong!
