Message from the Chair

Dear Community,

Coronavirus:   PPCC is optimistic as we look forward to the full reopening of the State on June 15!   Meanwhile, we continue to invite you to visit:


Disaster Readiness:  The recent Palisades and Via de las Olas bluffs fires have brought the need for wildfire preparedness to the forefront.  PPCC has compiled extensive materials on public safety and emergency preparedness, which can be found here.

Alternate PPCC Area Representatives Notice:  Applications are now being accepted for currently vacant 2nd Alternate Representative seats, in Areas 3 and 8.  See Alternates Application for information on eligibility and how to apply.  We encourage interested residents of Areas 3 and 8, respectively, to apply and become involved with PPCC!  Deadline to submit applications:  July 5, 9am.  

Board Meeting Update:   PPCC’s last Board meeting on June 10, 2021, featured an update on the CAO’s study of CM Bonin’s proposal to use Will Rogers State Beach parking lot for homeless housing.

First, the Executive Committee has retained experienced environmental attorney Dean Wallraff, Executive Director of Advocates for the Environment, to represent PPCC in connection with our opposition to the Bonin proposal.  We are very pleased to be working with Mr. Wallraff.  In addition, the Executive Committee has sent a strong letter to the CAO, listing the many reasons was the proposal to use the Will Rogers State Beach parking lot for this purpose is infeasible.

We invite the community to donate to PPCC’s legal fund, in order to ensure that Will Rogers State Beach will not be used for homeless housing.  Donate HERE.

We also had informative presentations by CD 11 Transportation Deputy Eric Bruins on regulation of robotic “personal delivery devices,” and by PPCC Homelessness Advisor/PPTFH Co-President Sharon Kilbride on the recent, successful multi-jurisdictional hillside encampment task force, spearheaded by Capt. Jonathan Tom.  Thanks to all who participated in this tremendous initiative.

In addition, the Board passed two motions recommended by the Westside Regional Alliance of Councils:  support for use of “5150” holds and for additional funding for more psychiatric beds for severely-mentally ill homeless people, and support for clarity of regulations regarding “ghost kitchens.”

Last but not least, PPCC current officers were re-elected by acclamation for the coming term, 2021-2021.    The officers thank the Board for its support.

For more information about our June 10th meeting, see the Meeting Recap.

Upcoming PPCC Zoom meetings (note: all meetings start at 6pm):

June 24, 2021:  Update on the Gladstones redevelopment project, by Thomas Tellefsen, representing the project concessionaire.

July 8 and August 12, 2021:  topics to be announced.

Note:  PPCC holds one meeting only during each of the months of July and August.

I look forward to seeing you around town and at upcoming PPCC meetings!

Best regards,

David Card
