Press Release regarding NORC Report on the PPCC-NORC Community Survey Results
Message from the President:
At our first Board meeting in February, on February 12, 2026, we heard important information from Dr. Tara Parhizkar of the UCLA School of Engineering about the UCLA Wildfire Evacuation Survey. We encourage all Palisadians who evacuated to take the survey, which may be used to inform decisions about a future evacuation plan for the Palisades.
Other significant matters taken up on February 12: the Board approved four new Area Alternates recommended by the 3 Chairs Committee: Kambiz Kamdar (Area 2); Ben Einbinder (Area 6); Marc Gordonson and Kim Millimaki-Gorry (Area 8). The Board also unanimously approved two grants recommended by the Grants Committee: to the PP Woman’s Club ($10,000) and to Paul Revere Charter Middle School ($5,000). In addition, we learned about the President’s appointment of the new PPCC Emergency Preparedness Committee (see Committees), and the Board unanimously passed two motions: (1) to support a CW Park motion to regulate sober living density, recommended by the Westside Regional Alliance of Councils, and (2) to support a Resolution recommended by the PPCC Infrastructure Committee, regarding a critical LADWP Master Infrastructure Plan for the Palisades (see the amended Resolution approved by the Board HERE).
Our next Board meeting will take place on February 26, 2026 (topics to be announced). And on March 5th at 6pm, we will host representatives of NORC for a public discussion about the NORC Survey Report (linked above). All are invited to these PPCC meetings.
Mark your calendars — on Sunday March 1st, from 1-3pm, the Westside Regional Alliance of Councils (PPCC is a member) will host a Candidates Forum with the three candidates for City Council District 11 Council Member (to represent Pacific Palisades and other Westside communities): current CD 11 Councilwoman Traci Park; attorney Faizah Malik; and Palisadian Jeremy Wineberg. The debate will take place at the First Lutheran Church of Venice (near the corner of Venice & Lincoln Blvds.). We hope to see everyone there. And don’t forget to register to vote in CD 11 if you haven’t already registered (see FAQ linked above).
We also eagerly await the joyful community Renewal Celebration, to take place this spring on March 22nd, 3pm at Palisades High School — sponsored by PPCC and other participating Palisades organizations. See the Press Release HERE. Plans are now in the works — stay tuned for more details to come!
See you at the PPCC meetings in 2026!
Palisades Strong!
Sue Kohl
President
