Cohen reported that PPCC&#8217;s cash balance is $39,910.07.\u00a0 The only significant transactions in the last few weeks related to setting up the PPCC Zoom meetings. He announced that it&#8217;s time for the annual Treasurer&#8217;s Report as required by the Bylaws and noted that the full Report would be attached to the minutes <em>[see Agenda Attachment below].\u00a0 <\/em>He summarized the following highlights of the Report:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It cost about $4,100 to run PPCC for the past year, of which $1,500 was the expense of liability and directors &amp; officers insurance premiums, $1,000 was a gift to PAPA for last year&#8217;s parade and there was a $400 contribution to the Library for a new sound system.\u00a0 Mailchimp, data and other digital related expense made up the bulk of the balance of expenses.<\/li>\n<li>Offsetting the costs were profits from our downsized Gala of about $2,000 and other contributions, mostly also related to the holiday event.<\/li>\n<li>We ended the year just about breaking even with a decrease of $461 in our bank balance. <em>See Agenda Attachment (Treasurer\u2019s Report) below<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Treasurer also commented that the Covid-19 pandemic may prevent a holiday fundraising event this year which suggests that our policy of maintaining and safeguarding a healthy bank balance was a wise course of action.\u00a0 He noted that we currently don&#8217;t know how long it will be before in-person fundraising events may resume and it is reassuring to know that we have several years of resources to fall back on.<\/p>\n<p>7.<strong>\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<\/strong><strong>General Public Comment.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>7.1.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<u>Krishna Thangavelu<\/u> (resident) expressed concern about ongoing illegal fireworks usage on the bluff above the Tahitian Terrace mobile home park.\u00a0 The Chair noted that fireworks have been illegally set off every night for weeks in our bluff areas and along the coast.<\/p>\n<p>8. <strong>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Reports, Announcements and Concerns.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>8.1.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0<u>From the Chair\/Presiding Officer<\/u>.<\/p>\n<p>8.1.1. \u00a0\u00a0<em>Executive Committee determination of exigent circumstances\/in-person meetings infeasible for at least two regular Board meetings <\/em>(Bylaws, Art.

Visit the LAFD website brush clearance page (\u201cBrush\u201d) for updated information and timetables <em>[<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lafd.org\/fire-prevention\/brush\"><em>https:\/\/www.lafd.org\/fire-prevention\/brush<\/em><\/a><em>].<\/em>\u00a0 LAFD is also working with Recreation and Parks and LADWP, at times using bulldozers for brush clearance in areas within their jurisdiction.<\/p>\n<p>Q:\u00a0 What is the impact of the new City budget cuts on the level of service in the Palisades, specifically the strength and operations of our two stations?<\/p>\n<p>A:\u00a0 We are fortunate as the budget relates to LAFD, because Stations 69 and 23 will be untouched and will still have the same levels of staffing and service.<\/p>\n<p>Q:\u00a0 Is there any possibility that we may still have a fire evacuation drill in the Palisades?\u00a0 Can it be done in a virtual manner?<\/p>\n<p>A:\u00a0 The Department is looking at both.\u00a0 He believes the drill would be more beneficial if done in-person, but he has a new staff member who can do simulations and they will see how that will go.\u00a0 LAFD uses Google Meet for virtual meetings.\u00a0 He would like to get together with the community and talk about brush and changing terminology; for example, evacuations are no longer called \u201cVoluntary\u201d or \u201cMandatory,\u201d but instead are now described as either a \u201cWarning\u201d or an \u201cOrder.\u201d\u00a0 He explained the differences. \u00a0The reason for the changed terminology was to make the orders easier for residents to understand.\u00a0 He may arrange for a virtual meeting for us in the near future.<\/p>\n<p>Q\/Comments: There is a wetland area within Recreation and Parks\/RAP land at the top of Temescal Canyon Park, opposite the RAP maintenance gate, which was recently cut back significantly.\u00a0 Cindy Kirven (PPCC Forestry Committee Chair) explained further:\u00a0 This is a riparian zone which is home to frogs and has other ecological benefits.\u00a0 The landscape company hired to do brush clearance didn\u2019t cut back deadwood from trees but instead weed-whacked wetland plants and thus destroyed the ecology. The agencies need to do better management of fire preparedness, and to be mindful of ecological issues as well as fire protection.<\/p>\n<p>A:\u00a0 This was not an LAFD hire.\u00a0 RAP made the hire from its fire prevention\/brush clearance unit. It has been brought to LAFD\u2019s attention.\u00a0 The Department has reached out to RAP and will follow up to ensure that we are all better versed in the ecology and habitats when doing brush clearance.\u00a0 It\u2019s on the radar and has been discussed.<\/p>\n<p>Additional questions\/comments from audience and board members:<\/p>\n<p>Cheryl Zomber (resident):\u00a0 There are continuous problems on the fire road that connects Marquez Knolls and the Highlands, which she described in detail, including parties with BBQs and alcohol in that area, two car accidents near the top of Lachman Lane by partiers, and illegal fireworks. \u00a0She has been working with Councilmember Bonin\u2019s office on traffic issues and needs help from LAFD.\u00a0 The gate to the fire road is locked on the Marquez side but needs to be locked on the Highlands side.\u00a0 Residents would like LAFD and LAPD to put up locks and chains on both sides of the road.<\/p>\n<p>Chief Hogan:\u00a0 Residents should speak with Station 23. He went to inspect this condition a few years ago. Some residents were concerned about how they would get out if the gate were locked.\u00a0 The captains at Station 23 will let her know what the best method is for dealing with the gate. This is really an easement, not an actual fire road.\u00a0 LAFD will do whatever is best using an abundance of caution.\u00a0 He reiterated that he will leave this up to the local fire company as they will know best what to do about the gate.<\/p>\n<p>Steve Cron (Area 2 Representative):\u00a0 He participated in a walkaround of the area last fall.\u00a0 He doesn\u2019t know if there is uniformity of opinion on what should be done with the gate.\u00a0 He recalls that LAFD wanted to be the agency to determine what should be open.\u00a0 He\u2019s not sure people in the Highlands agree with upper Lachman Lane residents on what to do.<\/p>\n<p>Chief Hogan:\u00a0 He doesn\u2019t have a problem with locking the gate but he will revisit the issue and will discuss further with concerned residents offline.<\/p>\n<p>Rick McGeagh (PPBA Representative):\u00a0 He lives alongside Will Rogers State Historic Park.\u00a0 There is an area on Sunset Blvd. between the State Park Road and the switchback along Sunset that isn\u2019t cleared of brush.\u00a0 There had been a dispute over which agency is responsible for brush clearance in this area: Park Rangers or LAFD?\u00a0 He read from a statement received from the Park Rangers: There is now agreement that LAFD will clear the area.<\/p>\n<p>Chief Hogan: LAFD is working with the \u201cAlert Wildfire\u201d project.\u00a0 This is an initiative sponsored by universities that involves placing cameras in the wildland environment as a \u201cpre-fire\u201d measure.\u00a0 LAFD is looking for help from the community as to where cameras should be located.\u00a0 The goal is fire prevention, not surveillance of individuals.\u00a0 Cameras should be in an elevated location.\u00a0 CERT members will probably monitor.\u00a0 Areas with poor cell service are ideal spots to locate cameras in order to help firefighters spot fire incidents early on.\u00a0 Send ideas for camera locations to <a href=\"mailto:info.@pacpalicc.org\">info.@pacpalicc.org<\/a> or to Dave Card.\u00a0 PPCC will pass the ideas on to Chief Hogan.<\/p>\n<p>Patrick Hart (resident):\u00a0 He has questions about brush clearance related to homeless-set fires.\u00a0 There was a fire in the lower bluffs last week and a fire in Castellammare this morning with homeless articles present.\u00a0 Does LAFD investigate homeless fires?\u00a0 Also, there is a homeless encampment in Marquez Canyon (the area to the east of the Highlands Starbucks, off of Sunset) where the property owner can\u2019t be found.\u00a0 What can LAFD do about brush clearance in that area?<\/p>\n<p>Chief Hogan:\u00a0 Go to \u201cBrush\u201d on LAFD.org.\u00a0 Scroll down to \u201creporting a homeless encampment.\u201d\u00a0 LAFD works with LAHSA and other agencies to identify locations. The Department can\u2019t always investigate fires of any type of suspicion.\u00a0 Sometimes if they get to the scene and it\u2019s a small fire, they won\u2019t necessarily call out the arson unit.\u00a0 Usually they\u2019ll document the fire if it\u2019s in a homeless encampment.<\/p>\n<p>Patrick Hart: Is there any plan to clear brush on the steep hillside below the Via bluffs?<\/p>\n<p>Chief Hogan:\u00a0 There\u2019s always a plan; he doesn\u2019t know the timetable but will make sure local inspectors are aware of the problem.<\/p>\n<p>The Chair thanked Chief Hogan for speaking to the Board and community and answering our questions.<br \/>\n<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong>12.<strong> \u00a0 \u00a0Adjournment.<\/strong> \u00a0\u00a0At 6:14pm the Chair called for nominations from Board members for officer positions.\u00a0 There were no nominations and at 6:15pm the Chair announced that nominations were closed.\u00a0 Discussion of agenda items continued until the meeting was adjourned at 6:40pm.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ATTACHMENTS:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Item 6 \u2013 Annual Treasurer\u2019s Report<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n<table width=\"602\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"3\" width=\"452\"><strong>PPCC Treasurer&#8217;s Report June 1, 2019 &#8211; May 31, 2020<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"150\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"352\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"1\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"99\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"150\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"352\">Balance 6\/1\/2019<\/td>\n<td width=\"1\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"99\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"150\">40,902<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"352\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"1\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"99\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"150\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"352\">Balance 5\/31\/2020<\/td>\n<td width=\"1\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"99\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"150\">40,441<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"352\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"1\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"99\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"150\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"352\">Decrease in Funds<\/td>\n<td width=\"1\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"99\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"150\"><u>-461<\/u><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"352\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"1\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"99\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"150\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"352\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"1\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"99\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"150\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"352\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"1\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"99\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"150\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" width=\"353\">Regular Contributions (many Gala related)<\/td>\n<td width=\"99\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"150\">1,572<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"352\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"1\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"99\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"150\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" width=\"353\">Rent &#8211; Use of Library Room<\/td>\n<td width=\"99\">108<\/td>\n<td width=\"150\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"352\">Insurance<\/td>\n<td width=\"1\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"99\">1,500<\/td>\n<td width=\"150\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" width=\"353\">Mailchimp \/ Data \/ Misc<\/td>\n<td width=\"99\">1,113<\/td>\n<td width=\"150\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\" width=\"353\">PAPA, LAFD, Library gifts<\/td>\n<td width=\"99\">1,460<\/td>\n<td width=\"150\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"352\">P.O.
