Press Release regarding NORC Report on the PPCC-NORC Community Survey
Message from the President:
As we end the horrific year in which all our lives were changed, we enter 2026 with hope for recovery and a bright future for our beloved Palisades. See our end-of-the-year message to the community, reflecting on 2025, here. On January 7th, PPCC and other community members participated in the special Remembrance Ceremony, sponsored by the American Legion and Pali LTRG, honoring the 12 individuals who tragically lost their lives in the fire and commemorating the one-year anniversary. We thank them for providing this moving and beautiful Ceremony.
We were pleased to issue a Press Release on January 6th announcing the new NORC Report on the results of the PPCC-NORC Community Survey (see documents linked above). PPCC will hold a special meeting, tentatively on March 5, 2026, to discuss the survey results.
We held our first meeting of the New Year on January 8th. The meeting featured well-received remarks by Councilwoman Traci Park and an informative presentation by representatives of Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles/HabitatLA. See a recording of the presentations Here (CW Park’s remarks begin the recording; the HabitatLA presentation starts at approximately 1:38 on the recording).
Looking ahead: LAFD Chief Jaime Moore will be our guest speaker at the next Board meeting on January 22, 2026. As time allows, we’ll also consider a motion to support a motion in City Council by CW Park calling for density (spacing) restrictions on “sober living” facilities.
We eagerly await the joyful community Renewal Celebration, to take place this spring on March 22nd, 2-6pm at Palisades High School — sponsored by PPCC and other participating Palisades organizations. Plans are now in the works — stay tuned for more details to come!
And don’t forget the deadlines to submit applications for the now-open 2nd Alternate seats for PPCC Areas Two, Eight and Six — see notices linked above for more details. Areas Two & Eight: deadline February 7, 2026; Area Six: deadline February 9, 2026.
See you at the PPCC meetings in 2026!
Next regular Board Meeting: January 22, 2026; Guest Speaker: LAFD Chief Jaime Moore.
