CC SR 20170404 07 - Appointment to Abatement DistrictsRANCHO PALOS VERDES CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: 04/04/2017 AGENDA REPORT AGENDA HEADING: Regular Business AGENDA DESCRIPTION: Consideration and possible action to appoint a City Council Member as the City representative to the Boards of Directors of the Abalone Cove Landslide Abatement District (ACLAD) and the Klondike Canyon Geologic Hazard Abatement District (KCGHAD). RECOMMENDED COUNCIL ACTION: (1) Appoint a City Council Member to represent the City on the ACLAD Board; and, (2) Appoint a City Council Member to represent the City on the KCGHAD Board. FISCAL IMPACT: None. Amount Budgeted: Not applicable Additional Appropriation: None requested Account Number(s): Not applicable ORIGINATED BY: Ron Dragoo, PE, Principal Civil Engineer-= REVIEWED BY: Michael Throne, PE, Director of Public Works APPROVED BY: Doug Willmore, City Manager �4- P„ BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: In August 2011, the City Council selected Ron Dragoo, the City's Principal Civil Engineer, to represent the City on the Board of Directors for the Abalone Cove Landslide Abatement District. Mr. Dragoo had been serving in a similar capacity on the Board of Directors of the Klondike Canyon Geologic Hazard Abatement District since November 2009. While the City's Principal Engineer currently sits on both of these boards, over time it has become apparent that it would be beneficial for a member of the City Council to represent the City on each abatement district Board. This would enable each Board to hear firsthand about City Council policy direction as it relates to the City's management of City property and open space in each landslide area, and enable Board activities to be brought directly to the City Council for information and action. ACLAD meets on the second Wednesday of each month at 7:30 PM in the Community Room at City Hall. KCGHAD meets on the fourth Monday of each month at 5:00 PM at Ladera Linda Community Center. 1 ALTERNATIVES: In addition to the Staff recommendations, the following alternative action is available for the City Council's consideration: Appoint a member of Staff as the representative to either or both of the abatement district boards. 2
