8.2.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>From Officers<\/u>.<\/p>\n

8.2.1. \u00a0 \u00a0Richard Cohen (Treasurer) reported on the recent West LA Community-Police Advisory Board (C-PAB) meeting. \u00a0He announced that a few weeks ago he attended one of the C-PAB monthly meetings which he has been regularly attending for 12 years. Attendees liaise with the LAPD at these meetings.\u00a0 The Treasurer routinely attempts to explain to the West LA Captain at C-PAB meetings that the Palisades is isolated and we need to have a patrol car assigned 24\/7 in order to have better response times.\u00a0 We now do have a car, but LAPD is always under pressure for resources and the car can be and is called away many times to respond to incidents in other parts of the city.\u00a0 At the recent C-PAB meeting, WLA Captain Davalos was not present and the Patrol Capt. chaired the meeting.\u00a0 He is the officer who dispatches cars every day, establishes priorities and decides which cars go out and where. The Treasurer was able to convey directly to him that the Palisades\u2019 number one issue is keeping a patrol car 24\/7.\u00a0 The Patrol Capt. made it clear that he knew of the importance to the Palisades and that this was very important to him as well.\u00a0The Treasurer indicated that although there are times that the car must be dispatched elsewhere, hopefully we will be able to keep the patrol car in Pacific Palisades more often.<\/p>\n

8.2.2. \u00a0 \u00a0Chris Spitz (Secretary) announced that in the interest of time she would not repeat the information in her written summary of legislation, which can be \u00a0accessed at: \u00a0https:\/\/pacpalicc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Legislation-Summary-9-6-19.pdf<\/a>.\u00a0 She updated the board on developments since she completed the summary regarding the land use preemption bills:\u00a0 SB 330 (Skinner) has now passed both houses and will become law absent a Governor\u2019s veto (which is not expected); SB 592 (Wiener) was amended last Friday and returned to the Assembly Rules committee yesterday for further consideration; she expects the bill to pass in floor session tomorrow, otherwise it can\u2019t be taken up again until January. Sen. Wiener\u2019s other controversial bill, SB 50 (which was not taken up in this session), may also return for a vote in 2020.\u00a0 We will of course continue to monitor.<\/p>\n

8.3.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>From At-Large and Area Representatives<\/u>.<\/p>\n

8.3.1. \u00a0 \u00a0Alan Goldsmith (At-large) announced that Calvary Church is in the process of updating its Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to increase students slightly and reduce parking by 25 spaces in order to build a new 10,000 square ft. school structure.\u00a0 The school wants to have a presentation about their plans with residents.\u00a0 He will coordinate if anyone is interested in a meeting at Calvary to hear their presentation.\u00a0 The Chair stated that there will also be a LUC meeting to address this issue on October 17. Barbara Kohn (PPRA) expressed concern about whether the structure will encroach on the urban limit line, which she stated was encroached upon by the school years ago.\u00a0 This was an issue that PPRA had with the original CUP for the school.\u00a0The Secretary stated that she and the LUC Chair have requested the original CUP and all relevant documents from the school in connection with the October 17 LUC meeting and this can be addressed at that time.<\/p>\n

8.3.2. \u00a0 \u00a0Rick Mills (Area 5) stated that he has signed up for a trip to the Owens Valley Aqueduct with LADWP.\u00a0 He will be going on the trip soon and will report back.<\/p>\n

8.4. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0From Organizational Representatives<\/u>.<\/p>\n

8.4.1. \u00a0 \u00a0Sarah Knauer (Chamber of Commerce) reported that the Chamber is excited about the upcoming Taste of the Palisades event, similar to Dine LA, which will take place from September 22 \u2013 September 26 with participating Palisades restaurants.\u00a0 For more information visit www.palisadeschamber.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

8.4.2. \u00a0 \u00a0Bill Bruns (Friends of the Library) advised that we are one step away from getting a vote at City Council for the indoor bookstore at the Library.\u00a0 Tomorrow & Saturday there will be a pop-up Book Sale in the Library community room from 9:30-4:30pm.\u00a0 The Friends are also debuting a new annual event in October called \u201cPalisades Reads.\u201d\u00a0The community will participate in reading one book, \u201cShelter Me,\u201d by Palisadian Laura Diamond.\u00a0 There will be a community book club discussion.\u00a0 The first meeting will be on October 23.<\/p>\n

8.4.3. \u00a0 \u00a0Brenda Theveny (TCA) announced that September 28 is National Public Land Day.\u00a0 TCA will be working with the Sierra Club on trail maintenance in Temescal Canyon and volunteers are welcome.\u00a0 She will provide information to the Secretary for the PPCC calendar.<\/p>\n

8.5. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0From Government Offices \/ Representatives<\/u>.<\/p>\n

8.5.2. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0SLO Michael Moore, LAPD.\u00a0 Officer Moore reported on incidents involving knife-brandishing and threats to safety and security near local Palisades schools.\u00a0 He explained that a man named Aaron Meyer has been driving around in a Prius and allegedly threatening people. At the end of the last school year, he was driving around Palisades Elementary and allegedly doing threatening things like punching someone in another vehicle and yelling threats.\u00a0 He is believed to have mental issues.\u00a0 He was placed on a 72-hour hold which turned into a longer hold, but ultimately was released.\u00a0 Later, while with his grandmother in the Palisades, he was told that he could not use the Prius so he was angry and allegedly slashed the tires of his grandparents\u2019 vehicle.\u00a0 A vandalism charge was brought but his grandparents decided not to press charges. This school year, he\u2019s been back to the area of Marquez Elementary. \u00a0He allegedly pulled out a knife and threatened people at Ronny\u2019s Market. This was not enough for a felony, but enough for a misdemeanor crime.\u00a0 Detectives are in the process of filing the case.\u00a0 He was ID\u2019d in a photo-array. The matter is in the hands of the City Attorney.\u00a0He was told he needs to come to an appearance so that they can resolve the matter. If he doesn\u2019t show up for the appearance, a warrant will then be issued for his arrest.\u00a0\u00a0 The legal process takes a long time.\u00a0 LAPD is looking for him but officers have not found him.\u00a0 There is camera footage of Meyer going up to the top of Lachman and allegedly smashing a car window with a hammer.\u00a0 The owner of that vehicle has not made a report.\u00a0 SLO Moore has other reports of him allegedly trying to entice young children with candy into his car \u2013 no reports were filed on these incidents by the victims.\u00a0 The police need reports from victims so that they can make a case to prevent him from being released any time soon.\u00a0 SLO Moore asks for anyone with information about Meyer or his whereabouts to contact SLO Moore and\/or LAPD.\u00a0 Meyer is no longer welcome at his grandparents\u2019 home; there are open charges of elder abuse against him.<\/p>\n

Audience members asked questions about other incidents and whether there were reports. SLO Moore stated that he hasn\u2019t seen them. Meyer is 30ish, with close cropped hair, a tear drop tattoo on the left side of his face, a mole and a close-shaven goatee.\u00a0 It was noted that a photo was posted on Nextdoor. LAPD doesn\u2019t release photos unless they can\u2019t find the suspect after a great deal of effort or if a warrant has been issued.\u00a0 LAPD hasn\u2019t issued a community alert yet but this might happen. \u00a0Meyer is believed to be still driving the Prius.\u00a0A court date has not been set and the filing is just going in.\u00a0 SLO Moore emphasized the need for victims to report crimes to the police.<\/p>\n

Officer Ryan Basaker, LAPD West Traffic: \u00a0A few motorcycle officers are assigned to an LAPD task force to deal with motorcycles Bureau-wide. It\u2019s a huge area and only a couple of officers are assigned to deal with the issue.\u00a0 The task force officers come out to the Palisades as often as they can.\u00a0Traffic accidents in West LA are down.\u00a0Regarding the recent PCH & Chautauqua crash:\u00a0 six vehicles were involved and there was one minor injury (not a fatality).\u00a0 Regarding speed reports on Sunset:\u00a0 Speed surveys have been updated on Sunset and also on Palisades Dr. Speed surveys conducted by LADOT are required for radar enforcement.\u00a0All of Sunset Blvd. and Palisades Dr. are now subject to radar enforcement.<\/p>\n

8.5.1.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Janet Turner, District Representative, Congressman Ted Lieu.\u00a0 Ms. Turner distributed flyers about the Congressional App Contest [see: https:\/\/lieu.house.gov\/helping-you\/congressional-app-challenge<\/a>] and Congressional efforts to address homelessness [see: https:\/\/pacpalicc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Lieu-Press-Release-September-11-2019-Pres-Trump-LA-Homelessness-.pdf<\/a>].\u00a0The Congressman was a supporter and\/or co-sponsor of bills by Sen. Feinstein and Rep. Waters to end homelessness.\u00a0The West LA VA will have a new medical director and there will be a meeting on October 1 to introduce the new director, which the public may attend.\u00a0 Sunday, November 10, is Veterans Appreciation Day; the Congressman will host an event with veterans in the Rose Garden at the Los Angeles National Cemetery in Westwood. \u00a0Ms. Turner is reaching out to Palisades veterans to attend and describe their experiences to other vets at the event.<\/p>\n

8.6. \u00a0 \u00a0From PPCC Advisors<\/u>.<\/p>\n

8.6.1. \u00a0 \u00a0Sharla Steinman (Youth) reported that Back to School Night at Pali High was a big success.\u00a0There will be a College Fair Night on Oct. 7.\u00a0 The first Teen Council meeting took place on Tuesday and went really well.\u00a0 The Pali Ambassadors would be happy to help with any groups in the Palisades that need assistance with events.<\/p>\n

9.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Reports from Committees<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

9.1. \u00a0 \u00a0Land Use Committee<\/u>\u00a0(LUC; Howard Robinson, Chair).\u00a0 In the absence of the Committee Chair, David Card announced that the LUC will be meeting on October 17, 2019 at 6pm in the Library to consider an application by Calvary Christian School for a revised CUP and CDP.\u00a0 The meeting will be open to the public.\u00a0 Treasurer Richard Cohen briefly explained his concerns, based on experience with the St. Matthews School\u2019s CUP, about the Calvary Christian School\u2019s short and long-term plans to remove 25 parking spaces in order to build a proposed 10,000 square ft. new structure which may eventually require 100 new parking spaces.<\/p>\n

9.2.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Palisades Forestry Committee<\/u>\u00a0(PFC; David Card, Chair).\u00a0 Presentation of PFC report on a possible urban forestry policy for Pacific Palisades, including street tree planting and removals; possible action by the Board regarding the PFC recommendations. See PFC report at: <\/em>https:\/\/pacpalicc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/PFC-Mission-Objectives-Appendices-straight-190901.pdf<\/em><\/a>. (for discussion \/ consideration by the PPCC Board). <\/em><\/p>\n

The Presiding Officer explained that as PFC Chair, he would be making the PFC presentation and for this reason, he \u201chanded the gavel\u201d to Treasurer Richard Cohen to serve as Presiding Officer for Item 9.2.<\/p>\n

The PFC Chair introduced all the PFC members present:\u00a0 Bill Bruns (Friends of the Library), Kelly Comras (Area 1 2nd Alternate & landscape architect), Jo Ann Bright (PP Garden Club & landscape designer), Cindy Kirven (PP Garden Club), Michael G. Kelly (Palisades Beautiful & landscape designer), Marilyn Wexler (Area 7 2nd Alternate) and himself (PPCC Vice-Chair & landscape designer). Also present were nonvoting participants Mary Schulz (PP Garden Club) and Lisa V. (tree activist), as well as liaison to the PFC Stephen Du Prey (City of Los Angeles, Urban Forestry Division) and observer Nancy Freedman (Brentwood CC).<\/p>\n

The PFC Chair gave an extensive Power Point presentation which contained numerous photographs and facts concerning the PFC\u2019s make-up, its work, Palisades history and the history of Palisades trees in particular.\u00a0 Some of the highlights: a slide showing Sunset Blvd. with Torrey Pines dating from the 1940s; a description of who makes up the PFC — landscape professionals, committed organizations, local government and tree advocates; slides showing the abundance of trees in the community, with 30% consisting of street trees or trees on public land; aerial shots of the Palisades from 1920s, 50s, 70s and today; slides showing \u201csingle species\u201d and \u201cmultiple species\u201d streets; a slide showing Sunset Blvd. in the 60s, before signage limitations were in place; and slides of trees on Hartzell St., which the PFC is using as a pilot project.<\/p>\n

During the presentation, the PFC Chair explained that the members did an in-person count of all street trees in Pacific Palisades. We have almost 8,000 trees in the right of way and parkways (not including trees in parks).\u00a0 The PFC\u2019s vision is overarching \u2013 nurturing trees in the Palisades.\u00a0 He described the PFC\u2019s Mission Statement and why the PFC was originally created \u2013 mainly to resolve issues with street tree designation policy in order to start planting more trees in the Palisades.\u00a0 They are looking at Hartzell St. as a pilot project for the street tree designation policy.<\/p>\n

Kelly Comras (PFC member) did an inventory of all five blocks of Hartzell.\u00a0 She unscrolled a long roll she had created, depicting all existing trees and vacancies on Hartzell.\u00a0Mr. Du Prey went with PFC members for a very long walk along Hartzell. \u00a0There are many opportunities for planting on the street.<\/p>\n

The PFC Chair also described the situation on Via de las Olas & Mt. Holyoke and showed slides of the removal of large Eucalyptus street trees in the parkway. \u00a0The owner had no permission to remove any trees.\u00a0 As a result, the City withdrew his construction permit for a period of time; he must replace the removed trees with more trees, in large box size, and post a bond.<\/p>\n

The PFC Chair repeated the Committee\u2019s Mission Statement.\u00a0 The Committee members all agreed on the Mission Statement & Objectives, except for one objective.\u00a0 With regard to the street tree designation policy: the members voted by a vote of 4-2 to adopt the Santa Monica street tree designation policy.\u00a0 He explained that under that policy, if the existing tree in a segment of a street is the \u201cright tree in the right place,\u201d the existing tree will remain the designated tree; if not, a different tree is selected using various criteria as outlined in the report.\u00a0 He also described the designation list and how it is compiled.\u00a0 He explained that the PFC believes that public education and outreach about tree preservation is important. An example of a possible type of outreach is when a for-sale sign goes up on a house, someone should go up to the house, hand out a flyer and talk to the owner and realtor and persuade them not to remove the street tree.<\/p>\n

The Presiding Officer thanked the PFC Chair and the entire Committee for the presentation and invited questions first from the Board and then the audience.\u00a0 Steve Cron (Area 2):\u00a0 What are the consequences for removing a tree?\u00a0 Mr. Du Prey (Urban Forestry):\u00a0 Depends on the individual case. Private property is controlled by the City Planning Dept.\u00a0 There are different levels of permits.\u00a0 He does not agree with the \u201cas built\u201d policy.\u00a0 He encourages people to use 3-1-1 to report trees being removed.\u00a0 The Palisades community is fortunate to have so many trees but tree planting has been stalled and we need aggressive tree planting.\u00a0 Cathi Ruddy (PP Woman\u2019s Club):\u00a0 Is one of the factors in planting trees \u201cflammability\u201d?\u00a0 PFC Chair: Yes, they are looking at that, but all trees can burn.<\/p>\n

Chris Spitz (Secretary):\u00a0 Regarding the \u201cright tree in the right place\u201d policy:\u00a0 Who decides in the first instance what is the right tree?\u00a0 The City, Urban Forestry, the Committee, PPCC, Palisades Beautiful?\u00a0 \u00a0PFC Chair:\u00a0Santa Monica has a task force which does that with its Urban Forestry staff.\u00a0 He thinks PFC and L.A. Urban Forestry Division would start to work on this. \u00a0Kelly Comras (PFC member):\u00a0 The PFC has decided on the concept and wants to go ahead and work on how the concept will work.\u00a0 Presiding Officer:\u00a0 The Secretary\u2019s question went to the question of who has authority to make these decisions; PPCC doesn\u2019t have that authority and the PFC as a committee which is advisory to the PPCC doesn\u2019t have that authority. \u00a0Mr. Du Prey: If the City plants a street tree pursuant to a resident\u2019s request, then Urban Forestry will water the tree for a certain cycle.\u00a0 It will remove a street tree if it is newly planted and someone objects to the tree after it is planted.\u00a0 PFC Chair:\u00a0 The PFC will work on designating trees working with the City, just as Palisades Beautiful had done for decades here.<\/p>\n

Jean Smart (Optimists Club):\u00a0 She is worried about street tree branches falling on cars and killing someone.\u00a0 Safety must be considered.\u00a0 Melanie Bouer (Area 2 1st Alternate):\u00a0 She is concerned about trees planted too close to property, in violation of LAFD rules.\u00a0PFC Chair: That\u2019s a private property issue and we\u2019re not dealing with that right now.\u00a0 Sue Kohl (Area 5):\u00a0 What is the policy with overgrown street trees and the danger in a storm from branches coming down? It typically takes a long time to get City staff to come out and trim trees. \u00a0Mr. Du Prey:\u00a0Residents should call 3-1-1 to report the condition. \u00a0Urban Forestry has hired almost 100 people in the last year and a half, and will be hiring 30-40 more to work full time; as a result, they have gotten better with response times.<\/p>\n

Cathy Russell (Area 7 1st Alternate):\u00a0 Regarding counting of street trees: What if there was no sidewalk where the tree was planted?\u00a0 PFC Chair:\u00a0 If the tree was obviously in the right of way close to the street, we counted that as a street tree even if there were no parkways or sidewalks.\u00a0 Kelly Comras (PFC member):\u00a0 The City has a proposal to inventory all trees in parkways throughout the City, using GPS.<\/p>\n

Resident:\u00a0 Why did the PFC choose Hartzell for the pilot?\u00a0 PFC Chair:\u00a0It\u2019s a straight street, only five blocks long and has a variety of trees.\u00a0 Eric Dugdale (PPHS):\u00a0 PPHS owns Founders Oak and maintains the oaks for the community; these are decades-old significant trees.\u00a0 Such trees are protected by the state even on private property.\u00a0 He praised the street tree inventory.<\/p>\n

Michael G. Terry (PFC member) then passed out a sheet with comments on street tree designations [see:https:\/\/pacpalicc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Street-Tree-Designation-FactsQuestions-PPCC-190912.pdf<\/a>]; the Presiding Officer asked if he wished to speak and he declined.\u00a0 Monique Lafia (resident):\u00a0 She reiterated her concerns about the developer on Mt. Holyoke.\u00a0 Response: Take pictures and send to 3-1-1.<\/p>\n

PFC Chair: The PFC wants input on the report from the Board and the community.\u00a0 Please submit comments to info@pacpalicc.org<\/a>\u00a0by the end of the next meeting on September 26; the PFC will be meeting on October 1 and will consider the input received. \u00a0The PFC may return for further presentation to the Board at a later date this fall.\u00a0 Bill Bruns (PFC member): \u00a0The Committee may go independent but that remains to be decided.\u00a0 The Presiding Officer explained PPCC\u2019s policy regarding all committees being advisory only to the Board and that action cannot be taken unless approved by a 2\/3 vote of PPCC Board members. Mr. Du Prey urged attendees to pick up brochures that he had put out on the counter.<\/p>\n

10.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Old Business\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 None.<\/p>\n

11.\u00a0 \u00a0 New Business\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 None.<\/p>\n

12.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Adjournment.\u00a0 <\/strong>The Presiding Officer adjourned the meeting at 7:45pm.<\/p>\n
