BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
The following is the regular bi-monthly report to the City Council on various "Border
Issues" potentially affecting the residents of Rancho Palos Verdes. The complete text
of the current status report is available for review on the City's website at:
http://www.rpvca.gov/781 /Border -Issues -Status -Report
Current Border Issues
Gaffey Street Conceptual Plan, Los Angeles (San Pedro)
On February 19, 2016, 15th District Los Angeles City Councilman Joe Buscaino
announced the release of the final Gaffey Street Conceptual Plan. The final plan is
available for review on-line at http://bit.ly/1 QhiB23. A construction contract for the
Gaffey Street project has been signed to begin implementation, which is set to start by
the end of 2016 and continue into 2018. Staff will remove this project from future
Border Issues reports.
Closure of Defense Fuel Support Point San Pedro, Los Angeles (San Pedro)
On March 4, 2016, the Navy announced the availability of the final Environmental
Assessment (EA) and Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the proposed
closure of Defense Fuel Support Point (DFSP) San Pedro (Attachment A). The
complete EA/FONSI is available for review on-line at the following link:
http://www.cnic.navy.mil/regions/cnrsw/installations/nws seal beach/om/environmental
suDDort/dEA-DFSP.html
The Navy has selected the partial closure of DFSP San Pedro (i.e., Alternative 4). This
will involve placing the existing above -ground steel storage tanks back into service, and
abandoning or demolishing some other site infrastructure. Staff will remove this project
in future Border Issues reports.
Friendship Park Observation Stations, Rancho Palos Verdes/Los Angeles (San Pedro)
At the November 18, 2015, follow-up meeting with residents in the El Prado Estates
neighborhood, the County announced that the second observation station would be
relocated away from nearby homes. The County also committed to replacing and
installing fences and other barriers to prevent unauthorized nighttime access to the park
from 25th Street and from Calle Aventura.
County Staff has recently confirmed that the second observation station is under
construction at the new location (see aerial photo below). On March 29, 2016, the
Board of Supervisors was scheduled to consider the reallocation of $252,000 to the
Friendship Park General Improvements Project, which would include the additional
2
fences and barriers. Staff will continue to monitor this project in future Border Issues
reports.
Energy Conservation Facilities Project, PVPUSD Campuses Citywide
On February 2, 2016, the District completed the first round of public outreach meetings
for its solar energy project. At meetings attended by Staff at Silver Spur and Point
Vicente elementary schools, Superintendent Don Austin stated that the proposed site
plans for many campuses had been or would be revised based upon comments
received at the public outreach meetings. Superintendent Austin also stated that the
Board of Education would probably be reviewing the final recommendations for each
campus in March 2016.
Revised draft site plans for the placement of solar panel shade structures/carports at
ten (10) PVPUSD campuses located in or adjacent to the City are attached to tonight's
report (Attachment B). On February 24, 2016, the Board of Education received a status
report on the solar panel project from District Staff (Attachment C). The Board
approved the revised proposals for several PVPUSD campuses, including the following
four (4) campuses in Rancho Palos Verdes:
• Cornerstone @ Pedregal
• Miraleste Intermediate
• Ridgecrest Intermediate
• Soleado Elementary
9
On March 17, 2016, the Palos Verdes Peninsula News reported that the District was
conducting additional public outreach meetings with parents and neighbors at the other
four (4) campuses in Rancho Palos Verdes on March 17-18, 2016:
• Mira Catalina Elementary
• Point Vicente Elementary
• Silver Spur Elementary
• Vista Grande Elementary
As of the date that this report was completed, the District had not responded to inquiries
from the City about the outcome of these additional outreach efforts. According to
media reports, the Board is expected to consider the proposals for the remaining
campuses in April 2016. Staff will continue to monitor this project in future Border
Issues reports.
New Border Issues
There are no new Border Issues on which to report at this time.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVY
FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL
ASSESSMENT FOR THE COMPLETE OR PARTIAL CLOSURE OF DEFENSE FUEL
SUPPORT POINT, SAN PEDRO, CALIFORNIA
Pursuant to the Council on Environmental Quality regulations (40
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 15001-1508) implementing
the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and United States
(U.S.) Department of the Navy (Navy) NEPA regulations (32 CFR
Part 775), and Chief of Naval Operations Manual 5090.1, the Navy
gives notice that an Environmental Assessment(EA) has been
prepared. Based on this Finding of No Significant Impact, an
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is not required for the
Proposed Complete or Partial Closure of Defense Fuel Support
Point (DFSP) San Pedro, California.
Proposed Action: The purpose of the Proposed Action is to
achieve efficiencies in receiving, storing, and distributing
fuel to Department of Defense facilities. The DFSP San Pedro
fuel facility includes the Main Terminal, the Marine Terminal,
and off-site pipelines. The project is needed to address aging
infrastructure and to limit environmental risk.
Under the Proposed Action, the Navy and the Defense Logistics
Agency (DLA) propose to completely or partially close DFSP San
Pedro. Under this proposal, the existing DLA and Navy Host
Tenant Real Estate Agreement would be terminated and the fuel
facility infrastructure, or a portion of the infrastructure,
would be physically disconnected and closed in place, abandoned
in place, dismantled, and/or demolished, depending on the
alternative selected. NAV(+d'PNSTA Seal Beach would continue as the
Class I property owner of DFSP San Pedro.
Public Participation: The public participation process comprised
both a Public Scoping Process and two Public Review Periods.
The public scoping process was initiated with the publication of
a public scoping meeting notice in two local newspapers: The Los
Angeles Times and the Daily Breeze on February 27, 28, and March
1, 2015. The public scoping meeting was held on Wednesday, March
18, 2015, at the Crowne Plaza Los Angeles Harbor Hotel from 6
P.M. to 8 P.M. The 15 -day public scoping comment period began on
A-1
FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FOR THE
COMPLETE OR PARTIAL CLOSURE OF DEFENSE FUEL SUPPORT POINT SAN PEDRO,
CALIFORNIA
March 18 and ended on April 3. Thirty-seven persons attended the
public meeting and 19 written comments were received during the
public scoping comment period.
The first public review period was initiated with the
publication of the Notice of Availability of the Draft EA in two
local newspapers: The Los Angeles Times and the Daily Breeze on
August 7, 8, and 9, 2015. The Draft EA was made available for
review at three local public libraries (the San Pedro Regional
Branch Library, the Harbor Gateway City Library, and the Los
Angeles Public Library Wilmington) and via the Navy Region
Southwest website (www.cnic.navy.mil/sealbeach). The public
review period began. on August 7 and ended on August 24, 2015.
Eight written comments were received during the public review
period.
Based on comments received during the public review period held
in August 2015, the Navy reopened public review between 20
November 2015 and 9 December 2015 to allow for additional public
participation. The second public review period was initiated
with the publication of the Notice of Availability of the Draft
EA in two local newspapers: The Los Angeles Times and the Daily
Breeze on November 20, 21, and 22, 2015. The Draft EA was made
available for on-line review at www.cnic.navy.mil/sealbeach,
along with certain documents incorporated by reference in the
Draft EA (i.e., the DFSP San Pedro Integrated Natural Resources
Management Plan, the 2010 Biological Opinion, the 2014 Draft
Biological Assessment, and the 2015 Draft Biological
Assessment). Three written comments were received during the
reopened public review period.
Alternatives Analyzed:
1) Proposed Action (Alternative 1): Under Alternative 1, DFSP San
Pedro would be completely closed with partial demolition of
existing infrastructure.
2) Alternative 2: Under Alternative 2, DFSP San Pedro would be
completely closed with minimal demolition of existing
infrastructure.

FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FOR THE
COMPLETE OR PARTIAL CLOSURE OF DEFENSE FUEL SUPPORT POINT SAN PEDRO,
CALIFORNIA
3) Alternative 3: Under Alternative 3, DFSP San Pedro would be
completely closed with complete demolition of existing
infrastructure.
4) Alternative 4; Under Alternative 4, only a portion of DFSP San
Pedro would be closed and partial operations would resume;
however, unneeded infrastructure would be closed with minimal
demolition.
5) No Action Alternative: Under the No Action Alternative, a
reversal of temporary closure and presumed eventual resumption
of full operations at DFSP San Pedro would occur.
Alternative to be Implemented: Alternative 4 has been selected
for implementation as it best meets the purpose and need for the
project, and would have no significant impacts to the human or
natural environment.
]due to recent clarification of the Navy's anticipated future
operational requirements, Alternative 4 has been slightly
changed so that six (6) steel underground storage tanks (USTs)
would be closed, filled with inert solid and abandoned in place.
Under Alternative 4 as initially presented, both these steel
USTs and a number of steel aboveground storage tanks (ASTs) at
the Main Terminal would have been re -opened for future
operational use. Alternative 4 would now reflect closure and
abandonment in place of the steels USTs and reopening of a
number of the steel ASTs. The Navy and DLA have carefully
evaluated including such closure and abandonment within
Alternative 4 and believe that doing so is consistent in scope
with the original Alternative 4, so long as the steel USTs would
be filled in with foamcrete or concrete, as opposed to being
opened and filled with soil. The filling in of the tanks with
foamcrete or concrete would be done through existing conduits,
resulting in little or no surface disturbance. Equipment to
conduct the filling operation—including a batch plant as needed—
can be brought to the site along established roads and situated
on previously-paved/developed surfaces. Furthermore, any risk
of future contamination around and beneath USTs would be
lessened by closing the steel USTS and abandoning them in place,
since fewer tanks would be returning to operational. status.

CALIFORNIA
Thus, any change in impacts associated with Alternative 4 as a
result of closure and abandonment in place of the steel USTs
would be de minimis, and would in fact likely result in an
overall lessening of impacts over time.
The potential filling in of the six steel USTs was already
contemplated and analyzed in the EA under Alternatives 1 and 2,
and was found to have only minimal impacts so long as foamcrete
or concrete were used (EA Sections 3.1.3.1 and 3.1.3.2). Impacts
associated with the potential filling in of these USTs would be
the same if performed as part of Alternative 4. Further,
closing the steel USTs and abandoning them in place would be
consistent with the kinds of activities already proposed and
analyzed under Alternative 4 in the Draft. EA—combining closure
of most of the facilities at DFSP San Pedro along with a partial.
re -opening of facilities—since Alternative 4 already included.
the filling in of DFSP San Pedro's more -numerous concrete USTs.
Accordingly, the Navy and DLA have determined that incorporating
closure and abandonment in place of the six steel USTs as part
of Alternative 4 does not change the nature or scale of the
alternative, and fits within the range of activities already
contemplated by the alternative; does not appreciably alter the
environmental impacts associated with the alternative, and
likely even reduces said impacts; and therefore does not
represent "substantial changes in the proposed action ... relevant:
to environmental concerns" or "significant new circumstances ...
relevant to environmental concerns and bearing on the proposed
action or its impacts" which would require preparation and
circulation of a supplemental draft of the EA under 44 C.F.R. §
1502.9(c).
An Errata Sheet has been prepared and included in the Final EA
to reflect this change.
Existing Conditions: The Proposed Action would occur at DFSP San.
Pedro, a Navy -owned fuel facility. DFSP San Pedro consists of a
Main Terminal, located in San Pedro; a Marine Terminal, located
in the west Basin of Long Beach Harbor;. and off-site
interconnecting pipelines. DFSP San Pedro is a Special Area
assigned to NAVWPNSTA Seal Beach located in the community of San.
Pedro, California..

Operation of DFSP San Pedro is currently the responsibility of
the DLA. DLA uses DFSP San Pedro in accordance with a Host
Tenant Real Estate Agreement established with the Navy. DLA has
been a tenant to the Navy at DFSP San Pedro since 1980.
The federally listed threatened or endangered species known to
occur or that have the potential to occur within the project
area or immediate vicinity include the Palos Verdes blue
butterfly (PVB) (Glaucopsyche lygdamus palosverdesensis
[federally listed as endangered]), the coastal California
gnatcatcher (CAGN) (Polioptila californica [federally lasted as
threatened]), and the California least tern (Sternula antillarum
browni) [federally listed as endangered] .
Environmental Effects and Mitigation Measures; The impact
avoidance and minimization measures as described in Appendix B
of the EA would be implemented. The following is a summary of
the environmental consequences of the selected alternative:
Biological Resources: With the successful implementation of the
impact avoidance and minimization measures listed in Appendix B
of the EA, direct temporary impacts to biological resources
under Alternatives 4 would occur to approximately 16 acres of
vegetation and land cover types. Indirect temporary impacts to
wildlife species may occur within adjacent habitat due to an
increase in dust, noise, or other demolition -related
disturbances. Alternative 4 would temporarily disturb 0.18 acre
of potentially occupied PVB habitat, which is approximately 0.6
percent of the total PVB habitat at the Main Terminal, and 0.09
acre of potentially occupied CAGN habitat, which is
approximately 0.1.6 percent of the total CAGN habitat at the Maid
Terminal. Biological resources would continue to be managed in
accordance with the Integrated Natural Resources Management
Plan. Through consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service, the Navy has completed an effects evaluation, and the
U.S. Fish and. Wildlife Service has concurred with the Navy's
effects evaluation that with the implementation of the
identified impact avoidance and minimization measures, the
proposed activities are not likely to jeopardize the continued
existence of the PVB, and may affect but are not likely to
adversely affect the CAGN and California least tern. Therefore,
with implementation of impact avoidance and minimization
Page 5 of 9
FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FOR THE
COMPLETE OR PARTIAL CLOSURE OF DEFENSE FUEL SUPPORT POINT SAN PEDRO,
CALIFORNIA
measures proposed, implementation of Alternative 4 would not
have a significant impact to biological resources.
Geological Resources: Under Alternative 4, minor surface
disturbance ,and minor grading would occur. Through
implementation of engineering measures and erosion controls
identified in the geotechnical/engineering evaluation, arty
increased risk for landslides and erosion would be minimized.
There would be no or negligible impacts to mineral resources,
bedrock, or soils. There would be no increased risk of
earthquake -related hazards - ground shaking, liquefaction,
tsunamis, and seiches. if the soil backfill option were to be
chosen for filling the underground storage tanks (apart from the
six steel USTs incorporated into Alternative 4 per discussion
above), a minor change in topography in the Operational Area
would occur. Therefore, implementation of Alternative 4 would
not have a significant impact to geological resources.
Water Resources: Under Alternative 4, no direct impacts to
surface waters or floodplains would occur. Any potential impacts;
to groundwater resources would be negligible. implementation of
and adherence to the project -specific construction Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) and associated best management
practices would minimize the potential for pollutants to enter
receiving waters at the Main Terminal and Marine Terminal during
demolition and abandonment activities. Post -closure, new SWPPPs
would be prepared for the Main Terminal and Marine Terminal in
compliance with all regulatory requirements applicable to post -
closure site conditions and activities, and partial resumed
operations would be conducted in compliance with these new
SWPPPs and associated BMPs. Therefore, implementation of
Alternative 4 would not have a significant impact to water
resources.
Transportation: Under Alternative 4, activities associated with
partial closure and demolition would generate approximately 224
average daily trips (including construction worker trips,
delivery of materials, and removal of demolition debris). The
temporary increase in daily trips would not result in
unacceptable operating conditions during peak traffic periods.
The bulk of additional truck trips would not occur during peak
hours. During partial closure, there would be a negligible
Page 6 of 9
we
FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FOR THE
COMPLETE OR PARTIAL CLOSURE OF DEFENSE FUEL SUPPORT POINT SAN PEDRO,
CALIFORNIA
increase of 36 daily trips during peak hours. Wherefore,
implementation of Alternative 4 would not have a significant
impact to transportation.
Air Quality: Alternative 4 would generate dust that could
migrate off-site during certain conditions. However, Alternative
4 would not exceed de minimis levels for VOCs, NOx CO, Sat, PM10
or PM2.5, and a Clean Air Act Conformity Determination would not
be required. Therefore, implementation of Alternative 4 would
not have a significant impact to air quality.
Noise: Under Alternative 4, noise associated with demolition.
activities would range from approximately 74 to 90 decibels at
50 feet (15 meters) and then decrease with increasing distance
from the source. In addition to increasing distance, the
topography would shield sensitive noise receptors from
demolition noise. Noise impacts would be spread out over a large
area in a transitory and temporary manner. While the schools,
residences, and commercial structures located near proposed
demolition activities might hear noise generated by temporary
demolition activities, the noise levels would not be noticeably
distinct from the existing noise environment. Noise from
partial operations would be less than historical levels and
would be indistinct. Therefore, implementation of Alternative 4
would not have a significant impact to sensitive noise
receptors.
Hazardous Materials and Wastes: Under Alternative 4,
infrastructure would be closed, demolished, and/or abandoned in
place in accordance with applicable regulations. Proposed
demolition activities could encounter contamination associated
with existing Navy Installation Restoration Program sites and/or
DLA restoration sites. In addition, underground pipelines and
valve pits to be demolished may be located beneath aboveground
remediation equipment and/or in proximity to subsurface wells.
Implementation of the identified impact avoidance and
minimization measures, in conjunction with compliance with all
applicable legal requirements, would prevent risk of human
exposure to contamination and would protect equipment and
facilities associated with on-going environmental remediation
efforts at the Main Terminal. Under partial operations, existing
plans would be followed to minimize potential for inadvertent
Page 7 of 9
FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT FOR THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FOR THE
COMPLETE OR PARTIAL CLOSURE OF DEFENSE FUEL SUPPORT POINT SAN PEDRO,
CALIFORNIA
release. on-going site assessments and remediation activities
would continue. Therefore, implementation of Alternative 4 would
not have a significant impact related to hazardous materials and
wastes.
Cultural Resources: Under Alternative 4, there would be no
impact to cultural resources as no known National Register of
Historic Places (NRHP)-listed or NRNP -eligible cultural
resources are located within the Area of Potential Effect.
Although unlikely, if previously unrecorded archaeological
resources were encountered, work in the affected area would
stop. Adherence to the DFSP San Pedro integrated Cultural.
Resources Management Plan would continue. Based on the results
of the records search and field investigation, the State
Historic Preservation Officer has concurred with a finding of No
Historic Properties Affected. Therefore, implementation of
Alternative 4 would not have a significant impact to cultural
resources.
Visual Resources: Under Alternative 4, proposed demolition and
abandonment activities would result in temporary and transitory
negative impacts to the visual environment. Visual impacts
associated with resumption of partial operations would be
visually consistent with the historical and regional activities,
but at a reduced level compared to historic operations.
Therefore, implementation of Alternative 4 would not have a
significant impact to visual resources.
Finding: Based on the analysis presented in the EA, the Navy
finds that implementation of Alternative 4 would not
significantly impact the quality of the human or natural
environment.

3. Allocate County Excess Funds, available to the Fourth Supervisorial District, in an amount not to
exceed $121,000, to the Department of Parks and Recreation for the Friendship Park General
Rehabilitation Project.
4. Authorize the Acting Director of the Department of Parks and Recreation, in his capacity as Acting
Director of the Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District, to award a grant to the
Department of Parks and Recreation when applicable conditions have been met, and to administer
the grant as of the date of award and pursuant to guidelines in the Procedural Guide for Specified,
Per Parcel, and Excess Funds Projects; otherwise funds shall remain in the Excess Funds account.
PURPOSE/JUSTIFICATION OF RECOMMENDED ACTION
Approval of the recommended actions will allow the Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) to
utilize unspent Specified Funds of the Safe Neighborhood Parks Proposition of 1992 (1992
Proposition) by approving a Revised Plan of Expenditure of an amount not to exceed $131,000 in
Specified Funds under Section 8.a.1 to fund the Friendship Park General Rehabilitation Project
(Project).
Approval of the recommended actions will also allocate County Excess Funds, available to the
Fourth Supervisorial District pursuant to the Los Angeles County Safe Neighborhood Parks
Proposition of 1996 (1996 Proposition), in an amount not to exceed $121,000, to DPR for the
Project.
The proposed Project involves general rehabilitation at Friendship Park, including the purchase and
installation of fencing and bollards throughout the park to improve safety and security and
replacement of section of roofing. The total estimated project cost is $252,000 and will be fully
funded with the recommended 1992 Proposition Specified Funds and 1996 Proposition County
Excess Funds.
It is also recommended that the Acting Director of the Department of Parks and Recreation (Acting
Director), in his capacity as Acting Director of the Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open
Space District, be authorized to award a grant to DPR when applicable conditions have been met.
Applicable conditions include grantee qualifications, consistency between the project and
requirements of the 1996 Proposition, as well as grantee agreement with California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) requirements for the project. It is further recommended that the Acting Director
be authorized to administer the grant under procedures previously approved by the Board.
Implementation of Strategic Plan Goals
The proposed recommendations further the Board approved County Strategic Plan Goals of
Operational Effectiveness/Fiscal Sustainability (Goal 1) by providing grant funds to enhance healthy
activities in the Fourth Supervisorial District.
FISCAL IMPACT/FINANCING
Sufficient appropriation for the grant, in an amount not to exceed $252,000, is budgeted in the Los
Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District's (RPOSD) Assessment and Excess Project
Funds, HD4 and HD6.
The Honorable Board of Directors

FACTS AND PROVISIONS/LEGAL REQUIREMENTS
The 1992 Proposition provided funding for projects that were specified in the measure and identified
a procedure for revision of those projects prior to July 1, 1998. That procedure remains the method
by which specified project funds may be approved by the Board for other uses. An agency may
submit a revised plan of expenditure to use the funds for a project that is consistent with the
purposes of the 1992 Proposition after the grantee's governing body considers and approves the
revision of its project at a public meeting.
The 1996 Proposition requires that agencies to which funds were allocated under the Safe
Neighborhood Parks Propositions of 1992 and 1996 encumber all such funds prior to receiving
grants of Excess Funds. After this grant agreement is executed, DPR will be eligible to receive
Excess Funds.
The 1996 Proposition provides a method for determining, each fiscal year, the amount of funds
available in the following fiscal year to fund capital improvement projects in addition to the amounts
specifically identified for projects in the Safe Neighborhood Parks Propositions of 1992 and 1996.
The recommended grant will be funded from the Excess Funds available to the Fourth Supervisorial
District for County projects.
The Board may establish additional conditions on grants of Excess Funds. The Acting Director will
be authorized to award grants when all applicable conditions have been met. Any funds allocated by
the Board, but not encumbered by award of a grant contract in the same fiscal year, shall be
available for allocation by the Board in the following fiscal year.
On June 2, 2009, the Board approved the Procedural Guide to govern the administration of RPOSD
grants. The Procedural Guide will appropriately govern the administration of the recommended
grant as well.
ENVIRONMENTAL DOCUMENTATION
All projects funded by RPOSD are required to comply with CEQA as a condition of the grant. The
lead agency is responsible for preparing the appropriate environmental documentation for the
project. The County is the lead agency for the proposed Project
The proposed Project is categorically exempt from CEQA. The Project, which consists of
replacement of section of roofing and installation of fencing and bollards, is within certain classes of
projects that have been determined not to have a significant effect on the environment in that it
meets the criteria set forth in Sections 15302 and 15303 (e) of the State CEQA Guidelines, and
Classes 2 (a) and 3(b) of the County's Environmental Document Reporting Procedures and
Guidelines, Appendix G, because the Project involves replacement or reconstruction of structures
with a new structure of substantially the same size, purpose and capacity and construction of
accessory structures.
The proposed Project will not involve the removal of healthy, mature, and scenic trees. Additionally,
the proposed Project is not in a sensitive environment, and there are no cumulative impacts, unusual
circumstances, or other limiting factors that would make the exemption inapplicable based on the
proposed Project's records.
The Honorable Board of Directors
3/29/2016
Paqe 4
CONTRACTING PROCESS
A Project Agreement will be entered into and administered under authority delegated to the Acting
Director and pursuant to the Procedural Guide approved by the Board in 2009 only if all applicable
conditions of the grant have been met. The Project Agreement will be approved as to form by
County Counsel.
IMPACT ON CURRENT SERVICES (OR PROJECTS)
The recommended actions will have no impact on any other projects funded by RPOSD. The
recommended Project will promote healthy activities in public spaces in the Fourth Supervisorial
District.
CONCLUSION
Please instruct the Executive Officer -Clerk of the Board to return one adopted copy of this action to
the Chief Executive Office, Capital Programs Division, and to the Department of Parks and
Recreation.

Parents opposing solar project at 4 schools

Officials from the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District and PFMG Solar are scheduled to
visit four elementary schools Thursday and Friday in an attempt to build support for installing solar
panels on the schools' campuses.
The informational meetings are intended to address the specific concerns of parents of students and
residents who live in the immediate area of Point Vicente, Mira Catalina, Silver Spur and Vista
Grande elementary schools, said Superintendent Don Austin.
At last week's board of education meeting, several parents and neighbors of Vista Grande, as well as
other schools, attended to oppose the solar project for reasons ranging from aesthetics to the proposed
placement of the installations. The school board approved the 25 -year contract with PFMG Solar in
November by a 3-2 vote despite concerns that the work was awarded without a competitive bidding
process.
The contract is expected to provide an energy savings to the district of about $6 million over the 25
years and solar educational opportunities for students, officials said.
Since the contract was approved, district officials and representatives of PFMG Solar have conducted
outreach meetings with parents and neighbors to determine the placement of the solar panels at each
of the 16 school campuses.
At the Feb. 24 meeting, board of education members voted 3-1, with Suzanne Seymour dissenting, to
approve plans for solar installations at ten schools. Several schools fall within the jurisdiction of the
Palos Verdes Homes Association, which is reviewing the latest plans and may give the district
additional feedback on the placement of the panels.
Construction work is expected to begin this summer.
The informational meetings at the four remaining elementary schools are intended to build consensus
for the solar project among parents and neighbors with misgivings.
Charla Martinez, who has worked as a district teacher and substitute teacher for more than 30 years,
told the school board March 9 that she has never complained to the school district about anything in
the 53 years she has lived next to Vista Grande.
"This solar project bothers me," Martinez said. "It bothers me that my own and my neighbor's views
will be impaired."

Other parents complained that too much of the school's play area would be reduced with the
installation of solar arrays. They hoped to stop the solar project at Vista Grande, just as no solar
arrays are planned to be installed at Lunada Bay Elementary School and the Malaga Cove district
office campus.
Austin has said that Lunada Bay and Malaga Cove will not receive solar panels because the electrical
demand of those sites is not large enough to generate the necessary cost savings to justify solar
installations.
However, parents cited previous comments by PFMG representatives before the school board that
indicated as many as three small schools could refuse solar panels and the project would still be
financially viable for the company, and that preserving views as well as a lack of cost savings were
the reasons solar panels were not proposed for the Malaga Cove campus.
In an interview, Austin acknowledged that aesthetics played a role in the decision, though he
described it as minimal.
"Little to none" Austin said. "Almost nothing."
Tom Barrett, the homeowners association president for Palos Verdes Village, which surrounds Vista
Grande, provided the News with a Sept. 24 email from Alex Smith of PFMG to Austin, which was
obtained through a public records request by activist Joan Davidson. The email indicates that Austin
removed the Malaga Cove campus from the project before PFMG performed an electrical analysis of
the schools. However, Austin would not comment on the email to the News.
"We will have no further comment on aspects of the project that have already been decided," Austin
said.
Austin added that making a statement on the possibility of removing a school from the solar project
would be "premature."
"We have had outreach after outreach effort, and we're still continuing that," Austin said, adding that
some Vista Grande neighbors had spearheaded a change in the location of the solar arrays on the
campus but are now complaining about the current placement of the panels.
"It's interesting how some of the feedback we've taken from the same exact people is now being
questioned by those people who gave us the feedback in the first place," Austin said. "So we're
working through it."
Barrett said Friday's informational meeting is not effective outreach.
"In my opinion, scheduling a meeting at 2 p.m. when a majority of the residents will be at work is a
deliberate way to avoid public comments and participation," Barrett said.
Austin said he remains upbeat about the project. He anticipates that the board of education will make

a review of additional schools to approve for solar panels at the April 27 meeting.
"We already have ten projects ready to go, and I think we're very close on these last handful," Austin
said, adding that the board of education is not required to approve the individual school site projects
because the contract already was approved in November. However, the school board is taking the
"extra step" as part of the outreach effort, he said.
More than 80 revisions have been made to the original solar panel proposals at the 16 schools,
demonstrating a collaboration between district and PFMG officials and parents and neighbors of the
schools, Austin said. The solar contract also includes upgrades to the electrical capacity at Point
Vicente, Ridge Crest and Rancho Vista elementary schools, work worth about $1 million, Austin
said.
The solar project informational meetings are scheduled for Thursday at 8:30 a.m. at Point Vicente;
10 a. m. at Mira Catalina; and 11: 30 a. m. meeting at Silver Spur On Friday, officials will meet with
parents and neighbors of Vista Grande at 2 p.m.
