LAPD Roll Call Calendar (Palisades locations June-July)
Message from the President:
If you’re in the Palisades in June-July, please show support for our LAPD officers by joining the LAPD roll call at various locations throughout the community at 10am every day (calendar linked above).
The Palisades Forestry Committee has published its list of Fire-Resistant Trees, which can be seen HERE.
Our next Board meeting will take place on June 26, 2025 . The meeting will feature a presentation by BOE on the status of the Pedestrian Trail (aka the “Lateral Trail”), to run from the mouth of Potrero Canyon to Temescal Canyon Rd. (see the agenda linked above for more details). In addition, the Board will take up two motions: 1) to approve the authority of the Grants Committee with respect to donations/grants from PPCC; and 2) to request a ban on e-bikes from riding on sidewalks (recommended by the Westside Regional Alliance of Councils/WRAC). All are invited to the meeting on June 26th!
At our last meeting on June 12th, the PPCC officers for the 2025-26 term were elected by acclamation. They are: Sue Kohl, President; Quentin Fleming, Vice-President; Jenny Li, Treasurer; Beth Holden-Garland, Secretary. We thank the Board for their confidence in the current officers!
We also had an update from the FireAid team on the ongoing FireAid grant process (see the message earlier sent to PPCC by FireAid, with extensive information about the grants awarded in the Palisades to date, HERE). See a recording of the presentation HERE. The Board also voted unanimously to approve a motion proposed by the PPCC Land Use Committee regarding housing density legislation as well as a WRAC-recommended motion calling on Caltrans to postpone the project to repave the 405 through the Sepulveda Corridor until PCH fully reopens and the Palisades debris removal is complete.
The PPCC Rebuild Committee also updated us on the NORC “focus groups” process: Over 300 individuals expressed interest in participating; participants will be selected randomly by NORC and will be sent invitations early in the week of June 16, with the survey groups meeting during the week of June 23. Everyone will be able to participate in the community survey to follow the focus groups (date TBD).
The “Three Chairs Committee” (three former PPCC Chairs/Presidents) was also announced on June 12th (Maryam Zar, Chris Spitz and David Card). They will review applications from possible candidates for the now-vacant Area Three 2nd Alternate position on the PPCC board. See Alternate Application Notice; applications due by July 6 at 5pm.
