pamphlets which explained the need for the
Peripheral Canal which would run from the
Sacramento River at Hood around the southeastern edge of the Sacramento-San Joaquin
Delta to State and Federal pumping plants near the City of Tracy. Since the Southern

RESOLUTION NO. 79-38 Director Pikus summed up his May 1, 1979
FORMATION OF LIGHTING DISTRICT letter which explained that the City had
STREET LIGHTING FINANCING received a resolution from the Los Angeles
(901) County Road Department which consented to
the formation of a lighting district within
the City. Previously reported alternatives to the Council recommended that the County
be allowed to proceed with their plan to conduct the necessary public hearings for
such a lighting district. The City Attorney had reviewed this resolution and found it
acceptable.
Staff recommended that the Council adopt the proposed resolution consenting to the
formation of a lighting district.
Roy Butler, representing the County Road Department, told the Council that the existing
lighting district was paid for by the ad valorem tax. It was the intention of the
County to develop an over-lay lighting district in accordance with the Landscaping and
Lighting Act of 1972 to provide supplemental funds for the lighting districts being
administered by the County including those in the City of Rancho Palos Verdes. In order
for this City to be included as a zone in the County's assessment district, it would be
necessary for the Council to adopt this resolution of Consent to the Formation of a
Lighting District within the City; also, approve the Board of Supervisor's resolution
of Intent to Form the Street Lighting District. This approval would have to be secured
prior to May 15, 1979 in order to include the City in the County-administered Street
Lighting District.
In response to Council's inquiry on how the amount of assessment was determined, Mr.
Butler responded that the assessment would be the amount of money over and above the
ad valorem taxes collected, divided by the residences who benefit from the lighting.
If the City desired to form their own district, they could withdraw from the County
District at any time. The process would be to draw up a resolution withdrawing from
the district and then initiate proceedings to form a district.
Mr. Butler advised the Council that once the assessment had been set for the year, it
could not be reduced. Any surplus would be carried over into the following year, The
ad valorem taxes would be collected from and stay with each zone within the district.
RESOLUTION NO. 79-38 OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES CONSENTING
TO THE FORMATION OF A LIGHTING DISTRICT WITHIN SAID CITY, TO THE WORK DESCRIBED IN THE
RESOLUTION OF INTENTION TO FORM THE DISTRICT, TO THE LEVY, COLLECTION AND ENFORCEMENT
OF ASSESSMENTS FOR SAID WORK AND TO THE ASSUMPTION OF JURISDICTION THEREOVER FOR SAID
PURPOSES was read by title. Councilman Dyda moved, seconded by Councilwoman Hein to
ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 79-38.
Councilman Buerk moved, seconded by Councilman Ryan to strike from Section 2. of the
proposed resolution the following: ". . . and the levying, collecting and enforcing of
any and all assessments necessary to cover the expenses of said work. . . ."
Council then discussed if other alternatives were available: the formation of a
City Lighting District and lobbying for funding of state revenues to be used for
these districts.
The amendment to strike the wording from Section 2 of the proposed resolution failed
on the following roll call vote:
AYES: RYAN AND BUERK
NOES: HEIN, DYDA AND MAYOR SHAW
ABSENT: NONE
Council Meeting -4- May 1, 1979
The motion to ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 79-38 carried on the following roll call vote:
AYES: HEIN, DYDA AND MAYOR SHAW
NOES: RYAN AND BUERK

Council instructed Staff to summarize the results of the street lighting questionnaire
survey and publish in the City's NEWSLETTER.
Councilman Dyda moved, seconded by Councilman Ryan, to instruct Staff to gather all
the necessary information to identify the costs of a separate lighting district
administered by the City. The motion carried unanimously.
Councilman Buerk moved, seconded by Councilman Dyda to request the Mayor to send a
letter to the Board of Supervisors in conjunction with Resolution No. 79-38 urging
them to look to the State Government for funding instead of the cities. The motion
carried unanimously.
Councilman Dyda moved, seconded by Mayor Shaw to concur with the intent of the County
Board of Supervisor's Resolution of Intention (5B) to include Rancho Palos Verdes.

NOES: RYAN AND BUERK
RECESS At 9:30 P.M. Mayor Shaw declared a recess.
At 9:40 P.M. the meeting reconvened with
the same members present.
FEDERATED DEPARTMENT STORES Joseph T. Doino, Regional Real Estates
(RALPHS) Manager for Federated Department Stores,
(1503) told the Council that his company wanted
to develop the property at Crest & Hawthorne
but felt that without median cuts and "U" turns, it would create severe traffic hazards.
He referred to the Company's letter of April 23, 1979 which requested that the Council
either reconsider the earlier application or accept a new one.
In response to Council's inquiry, Mr. Doino indicated that he would not be presenting
any new evidence for their consideration.
Councilman Ryan moved, seconded by Councilman Buerk to receive and file this commu-
nication and not reconsider the decision on this matter. The motion carried on the
following roll call vote:
AYES: RYAN, BUERK AND DYDA
NOES: HEIN AND MAYOR SHAW
Mr. Doino was advised that the applicant had the right to prepare a new application.
LETTER FROM OCEAN TERRACE Director Pikus summarized the Staff
HOMEOWNER'S ASSOCIATION memorandum of April 25, 1979 which explained
REGARDING TRAFFIC PROBLEMS that the Traffic Committee discussed this
ON PASEO DEL MAR matter at their December meeting. It
(808 X 1502) was their conclusion that the problem was
caused by juveniles using this isolated
area for drag racing. It was their
feeling that this problem could only be solved by enforcement and requested the
Sheriff's Department provide this enforcement.
Staff recommended that the Council request the Sheriff's Department to provide
additional enforcement in this area.

He felt that it was appropriate at this time for the Council to register their
concerns with the planned project for the Peninsula Center because of its major
impact on the lifestyle of the Peninsula. He cited the fact that it would generate
an additional two and one-half million cars per year on the Peninsula.
Councilman Dyda moved, seconded by Councilman Ryan to reject the offer from Rolling
Hills Estates to annex the Peninsula Center roads. The motion carried unanimously.
Council then discussed mailing a questionnaire to residents who live close to the
Center and who will be directly affected by this development; scheduling a Council
Work Session to establish a policy regarding the Peninsula Center.
Councilman Buerk requested that the motion be amended by adding: "Since at this time
the Rancho Palos Verdes Council has not had a chance to look at the whole project
and discuss with the representatives of the Rolling Hills Estates City Council."
The amendment failed on the following roll call vote:
AYES: BUERK AND HEIN
NOES: RYAN, DYDA AND MAYOR SHAW
Council suggested that Staff develop some means of gathering public input from the
area most heavily impacted by this development. One suggestion was the inclusion of
a fact sheet in the City's NEWSLETTER which would list such items as the two and one-
half million cars and the fact 40% of the traffic would be coming from off the Peninsula.
CITY REPRESENTATION AT Mayor Shaw reported that she would be
LAFCO HEARING attending the LAFCO hearing and suggested
(105) that as many Councilmembers as possible
attend that meeting. She felt that it
was important for them to continue to lobby in support of the compromise resolution
adopted by the Council.
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE GOLF TROPHY Mayor Shaw reported that the City had
(305) received a request for a donation for
a golf trophy from the Chamber of Commerce.
Councilman Ryan moved, seconded by Councilman Dyda to receive and file this request.
The motion carried on the following roll call vote:
AYES: RYAN, BUERK, HEIN AND DYDA
NOES: MAYOR SHAW
GEOLOGY REPORT ON ABALONE Councilman Dyda reported that the Abalone
COVE SLIDE AREA Slide ad hoc committee (Dyda/Ryan) would
(1801) be reviewing the boundary of the slide
area as outlined in the latest report from
the geologist. The committee will report back to the Council.
GEOLOGIC HAZARD ABATEMENT City Attorney Coughlan reported that
DISTRICT LEGISLATION the legislation was sent to the printer
(1801) and State Senator Beverly was preparing
to introduce .
AUDIENCE QUESTIONS - ITEMS
NOT ON THE AGENDA:
Neil Atkinson, 6162 Arrowroot Lane, representing the Abalone Cove Homeowner's
Association, told the Council about the members' concern for the drainage at
Barkentine Canyon coming down from the development on Crest Road. Also mentioned was
the drainage at Deadman's Canyon.
Council Meeting -8- May 1, 1979
Director Hightower reported that the condition at Deadman's Canyon is under investi-
gation.
The suggestion was made that perhaps the drainage system designed for Barkentine
Canyon should be re-evaluated at this time.
Staff is to investigate the situation and report back to the Association.
LANDSCAPE AND OPEN SPACE Director Pikus summarized the Staff report
MAINTENANCE DISTRICT NO. 1 of May 1, 1979 which noted that the
AND NO. 2 Landscaping & Lighting Act of 1972
(901) requires that an annual report be prepared
for each such district. This report is
used as the basis for levying annual assessments.
There are two landscaping and lighting districts within the City: District No. 1
comprises Tract No. 32673 (Alta Vista) , and District No. 2 comprises Tract No. 31617
(Presley Tract.) Both of these districts were formed in 1978, however the improve-
ments have not been completed and accepted for maintenance purposes. Consequently,
none of the money collected in fiscal year 1978-79 has been expended and therefore
the assessments for 1979-80 will be zero.
In order to begin the process of levying the annual assessment, it is necessary that
the Council adopt the proposed resolutions ordering the preparation of the Engineer's
report for each district.
RESOLUTION NO. 79-40 OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES ORDERING
THE PREPARATION OF AN ENGINEER'S REPORT IN CONNECTION WITH A LANDSCAPING MAINTENANCE
DISTRICT (LANDSCAPE AND OPEN SPACE MAINTENANCE DISTRICT NO. 1) was read by title.
Councilman Buerk moved, seconded by Councilman Dyda TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 79-40.
The motion carried unanimously.
RESOLUTION NO. 79-41 OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES ORDERING
THE PREPARATION OF AN ENGINEER'S REPORT IN CONNECTION WITH A LANDSCAPING MAINTENANCE
DISTRICT (LANDSCAPE AND OPEN SPACE MAINTENANCE DISTRICT NO. 2) was read by title.
