Next PPCC Board Meeting: April 24, 2025, 6pm via Zoom. See direct Zoom meeting link HERE.
Message from the President:
At our next Board meeting on April 24th, we will hear from Rob Obedoza, Outreach Analyst with the Dept. of Insurance, who will present information and answer questions related to fire recovery / insurance matters. LADWP representatives will be present to provide information about the “Scattergood” generating station modernization plan. The Board will also consider a motion regarding a proposed professional survey of community opinion. In addition, we’ll thank a young LAFD firefighter who helped save Station 69!
Also of note: the PPCC Executive Committee, on behalf of PPCC, has submitted a letter to the state Senate expressing our strong support for SB 495, the “Eliminate the List” bill from our Senator Ben Allen (regarding the onerous requirement that claimants who are victims of wildfires provide a detailed inventory of every item of personal property lost in the fire, in order to receive full reimbursement). See the letter HERE.
A brief recap of our last meeting on April 10th: the members of the Nominating Committee (to nominate candidates for officer positions for the 2025-26 term) were announced; they are: Lorie Cudzil, Chair; Kinberly Bloom, Steve Cron, JoAnna Rodriguez and Chris Spitz. The Nominating Committee will announce its candidates at the May 8th meeting; Board members may also nominate candidates, both at the May 8th and the May 22nd meetings. If needed, a candidates forum will be held and officers will be elected at the first meeting in June (June 12).
We also heard on 4/10 from Councilwoman Traci Park, and from a representative of Hagerty Consulting, as well as a detailed presentation regarding an initial logistical plan for rebuilding by the new Palisades Recovery Coalition. See a recording of these presentations HERE. In addition, the Board considered and voted unanimously to pass two important motions recommended by the PPCC Land Use Committee (LUC) regarding bills now in the state legislature that will impact the Palisades; see the motions HERE.
