Ken Dyda, Rancho Palos Verdes, inquired if staff is tracking the cost savings of the
Health Savings Account (HSA) program where the City pays the employees' deductible
in comparison to the cost of the previous health insurance program offered by the City.

Moratorium Area)
City Clerk Morreale reported that late correspondence was distributed prior to the

Verdes, stated that the following issues are problematic: the Altamira Canyon slippage;

reminded the Council of a resident in Palos Verdes Estates who successfully sued the
City so he could build a home on his lot and when that home was damaged by a
landslide he successfully sued and won. He raised issues regarding the stability of the
ancient landslides in Portuguese Bend and Abalone Cove.
City Council Minutes
November 7, 2012
Page 10 of 13
Cassie Jones, Rancho Palos Verdes, stated that she believes the scope of the project
was inadequate because Zone 2 does not exist in a vacuum. She noted concern with
the hydrology section of the EIR, which is based on the design of a 70-year old storm
drain system that was built prior to the reactivation of the Abalone Cove and Portuguese
Bend landslides.
Jim Knight, Rancho Palos Verdes, speaking as a private citizen, stated that he has
concerns regarding the following: lack of a quantifiable standard to determine the factor
of safety risks; deficiency of Altamira Canyon to handle rain water; mitigation measures
for impervious surfaces; infusion of water into the toe of the Abalone Cove Landslide;
and, the ability of the hold harmless agreement to stand up in court.
Robert Cumby, Board Member, Portuguese Bend Community Association, Rancho
Palos Verdes, stated that the Draft EIR understates the effectiveness of Altamira
Canyon in its current condition, noting the continuing erosion of the canyon. He stated
that although the 47 homes that include the homes in the Monks settlement were in the
original development plan over 60 years ago, the infrastructure was designed for that
time period and does not allow for the additional water intrusion that has developed
from the development of lots above Portuguese Bend. He added that the traffic and
road study focused on the surrounding areas and not within the community itself.
Daniel Pinkham, Rancho Palos Verdes, shared a video illustrating the flow of water into
Altamira Canyon near his home during a typical rainstorm and added that he has lost 60
feet of property in the last few years due to runoff drainage from rain. He expressed
concern regarding additional loss of property due to the development of additional lots
in the community.
Vicki Pinkham, Rancho Palos Verdes, stated that they have witnessed significant
negative impacts on their home and property due to the existing construction of
additional lots in the Portuguese Bend Community Association. She noted that her
home is 27 inches from the road and the noise and pollution from large trucks affect
their home, noting the historical entrance wall has been hit by a large cement truck.
She added that the wall was demolished and never reconstructed. She commented on
fire safety concerns as a result of the narrow road at the Narcissa entrance.
Michael Chiles, Rancho Palos Verdes, stated that there was a drainage study report
regarding Altamira Canyon completed in 1972. He added that since 1972 additional
developments have occurred above Altamira Canyon resulting in water drainage into
the canyon and commented on problems regarding groundwater infiltration into the
canyon.
Marianne Hunter, Rancho Palos Verdes, stated that the Pinkham's video illustrated how
the storm water was not able to travel down the drainage system due to the volume and
rate of speed of the water. She continued that there was discussion in the community
City Council Minutes

that the City is relying on the roads to serve as the drainage system for the community;
but noted that the addition of water to the area is problematic and that the roads cannot
serve as a drainage system. She added that she had concerns regarding additional
traffic in the community.
Gordon Leon, Rancho Palos Verdes, stated that he was speaking as a private citizen
and not as a Planning Commissioner, noted that the scope of the EIR does not include
the surrounding areas, including Altamira Canyon and the Narcissa Drive access
through Zone 5, which is directly adjacent to Zone 2. He noted that the main structural
flaw of the EIR was the analysis of the effect of water on the landslide. He added that
he had concerns regarding the load of rainwater on the roads, which serve as the storm
drainage system for the area.
Monika Bauer, Rancho Palos Verdes, stated that she has been a resident in the
Portuguese Bend area since 1998, and shared the experiences she and her family have
had in her home as a result of several rainstorms in the area. She recommended the
need for a more thorough EIR study and the need for improved roads in the area.
Joan McClellan, Rancho Palos Verdes, stated that she reviewed the map associated
with the EIR which indicated the locations of storm drains, yet she could not find the
storm drain at Cinnamon Lane and Narcissa Drive which was indicated to be present.
She questioned whose liability it would be if there were problems related to additional
water as a result of the development of homes.
The City Council acknowledged receipt of the comments regarding the Draft
Environmental Impact Report (Draft EIR) for the Zone 2 Landslide Moratorium
Ordinance Revisions from the general public.
Councilman Knight returned to the dais at 9:50 P.M.
City's 40th Anniversary Plans
City Clerk Morreale reported that there was one request to speak regarding this item.
Ken Dyda, Rancho Palos Verdes, suggested that during the 40th Anniversary
celebration, the City take the opportunity to highlight some of the founding principals of
the City for those who were not present at the City's incorporation.
City Manager Lehr provided a brief report regarding the early plans for the City's 40th
Anniversary celebration.
Discussion ensued among Council Members and staff.
Councilman Knight moved, seconded by Councilwoman Brooks, to receive and file the
