2014 City Council Goals
(last updated April 21, 2015)
Public Safety and Traffic Control
Priorities include:
1. Continue with focus on crime prevention
Response by: Report to City Council on options to enhance crime prevention
programs by April 15, 2014
Assigned to: City Manager's Office
Actions taken to achieve goal:
• Based on recommendations from the Lomita Sheriff's Station, the adopted
FY14-15 Budget for Public Safety Special Programs included additional
funds for annual targeted enforcement and outreach programs ($72,000).
To date, the Lomita Sheriff's Station has used these funds for "Surf and
Saddle" Coastal Patrol, participation in the Abalone Cove Safety Task
Force, and a bicycle patrol along Western Avenue aimed at reducing crime
along this commercial corridor.
• The Regional Law Enforcement Committee considered law enforcement
technology options to deter crime, such as video cameras placed along
major arterials and entrances to the community, and enhancements to the
Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) systems on Sheriff's patrol
units. The RPV staff took the lead in conducting the research and preparing
the staff reports for this item. On November 13, 2014, the Committee
forwarded a recommendation to each respective City Council to purchase
one additional ALPR-equipped patrol unit for the region. On April 7, 2014,
the City Council directed Staff to include the RPV share for one regional
ALPR system, and the cost of one RPV dedicated ALPR system in the draft
FY15-16 budget.

meeting regarding the Lomita Sheriff's Station Community Policing
Program. The program includes increased community outreach in the form

at City events, such as Whale of a Day and the Fourth of July Celebration.
In addition, the Station continued to send a representative to City Council
and Traffic Safety Committee meetings. The Station Captain and other
senior staff have accompanied Council members to HOA and community
meetings to answer questions and speak about crime prevention.
3. Create joint powers agency for emergency management for the Peninsula
Response by: Report to City Council on process to form a JPA or alternative
by May 31, 2014
Assigned to: City Manager's Office
Actions taken to achieve goal:
The City has been unsuccessful so far in moving forward the idea of an emergency
management joint powers agency for the Peninsula. However, the City continued
to actively improve its own emergency preparedness, work cooperatively with the
other Peninsula cities and to promote personal emergency preparedness in the
community through public outreach. The following specific actions were completed
during 2014:

Hazards Recovery & Mitigation Course to fortify the City's resilience against
natural and/or human -made disasters — March 2014.
• The City Council completed the State Standardized Emergency
Management System (SEMS) Executive Level Course — May 2014.
• Public outreach emergency preparedness presentations were made by Cal
Water (June 2014) and So. Cal. Edison (November 2014). This outreach
program will continue into 2015 with the So. Cal Gas Company and COX
Cable scheduled to make emergency preparedness presentations of their
own.
• The City supported its Fireworks ban by producing banners and roadside
signs notifying the public that Fireworks are illegal in the City — July 2014.

Palos Verdes, Rolling Hills, Rolling Hills Estates and Palos Verdes Estates,
was placed in the Peninsula Directory and Peninsula News - October 2014.
• The City, using several advertising methods, publicized Ebola Fact Sheets
as a community outreach project — October 2014.
• The City participated in the Los Angeles Operational Area Communications
Exercise — October 2014.

Conference (IAEM) to bring back a national level perspective to the City in

"Beauty and the Beast" emergency preparedness presentations as part of
its annual community outreach program — 2014.

types of media (i.e. the City's Emergency Preparedness Webpage,

4. Ambulance service on the south side of the City
Response by: Report to City Council on options to establish an ambulance

options with the County's service provider to establish an ambulance station
at the Golden Cove Shopping Center, Fire Station No. 53 and the
Wayfarer's Chapel office building on Palos Verdes Drive South.
Unfortunately, none of these locations have proven to be viable, due to
current land use restrictions or space available. With the presentation of
the Parks Master Plan Update anticipated in spring 2015, the Council can
consider the potential and desirability of locating an ambulance station at
the Ladera Linda Community Center.
Infrastructure
Priorities include:
1. Infrastructure Management Plan funding and alternatives

conducive to adequate flow within the well. Another dewatering well has
been re -drilled and is in operation. Negotiations for a new well easement
are in process to accommodate placement of the new well.
Two locations for new wells adjacent to Burma Road have been identified.
It is anticipated that these wells will need to be drilled deeper than normal
to recover perched water which is common in areas with impervious clay
layers. Staff is working with the well contractor who has installed wells in
Abalone Cove for ACLAD, to develop a contract to perform well drilling
services for the City.
A purchase order for dewatering well pumps is scheduled for City Council
