RECOMMENDATION
1. Receive and file the draft 2014 Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan (GIP); and
2. Provide direction to Staff regarding any changes to the planned funding of projects
over the next five years.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The GIP is a guide for the efficient and effective provision of resources for improving and
maintaining public infrastructure and facilities. The GIP is segregated into both Funded
and Unfunded projects and includes detailed "project sheets" that provide a project
description, project type (e.g. Roadway Infrastructure), location, department responsible,
estimates of cost, and the justification (e.g. safety, City Council goal, outside funding
available). The GIP document does not include any projects with estimated costs below
the infrastructure capitalization threshold of $100,000.
Although the GIP document presents project funding for five years, the City Council
approves GIP projects for the upcoming fiscal year only. This gives the City Council the
ability to shift priorities when needed, while at the same time identify future projects and
potential funding mechanisms.

Projects are generally added to the Funded list as available funding sources are identified.
Projects are usually funded first from restricted funds, to be conservative in allocating
General Fund monies only when necessary. Staff recommends planning for use of the
GIP Reserve (funded with General Fund money equivalent to transient occupancy tax
revenue and prior year favorable General Fund expenditure variance).
On May 13, 2014, the Planning Commission reviewed the GIP Document and adopted
P.C. Resolution 2014-15, finding it to be consistent with the General Plan.
The GIP list of funded projects (totaling $49.6 million) has been integrated into the draft
2014 Five-Year Financial Model, which is a separate item on the June 3, 2014 City
Council agenda. Projects listed in Year 1 of the GIP (totaling $11.0 million) have been
included in the draft FY14-15 budget, which is also on the June 3, 2014 agenda for City
Council consideration.
The purpose of this agenda item is to receive direction from the City Council regarding
any changes to the GIP. After direction is received, Staff will prepare a final document
for City Council to consider adopting on June 17, 2014.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
Programming capital facilities and improvements over time can promote better use of the
City's limited financial resources, reduce costs and assist in the coordination of public and
private development. Based on guidelines of the framework and those set forth by the
City Council, Staff developed an inventory of capital projects. This inventory was
compiled through a comprehensive review of existing reports, infrastructure plans,
community input and the City Council's direction, goals and priorities. Some of these
plans include the following: the Pavement Management System, Vision Plan, Sanitary
Sewer Master Plan, Public Use Master Plan, Trails Network Plan, Storm Drain Master
Plan and the General Plan.
Staff evaluated every project quantified during the establishment and update of the GIP
and established Criteria justifications that are reflected on each project sheet. These
justification categories include: safety, support of essential City services, support of
Council plan goals, economy and efficiency, outside funding, and community
quality/sustainability. The Criteria justifications and the availability of restricted (non-
General Fund) monies, are utilized to establish the priority level of GIP projects. Staff has
included columns on the Funded and Unfunded lists (pages 11 & 68 of the document) to
indicate whether the project supports public safety or another City Council priority.

INTRODUCTION
A Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is a guide toward the efficient and effective provision of public
infrastructure and facilities. Programming capital facilities and improvements over time can
promote better use of the City’s limited financial resources, reduce costs and assist in the
coordination of public and private development. In addition, the planning process is valuable as a
means of coordinating and taking advantage of joint planning and development of facilities and
infrastructure where possible. Careful management of these assets keeps the City poised for
flexible and responsive strategic planning that allows the City to proactively prepare the groundwork
for capital projects so when funding opportunities arise, a plan is ready to be implemented. By
looking beyond year-to-year budgeting and projecting what, where, when and how capital
investments should be made, capital planning enables public organizations to maintain an effective
level of service for the present and future population.
THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN (CIP)
The result of this continuing planning process is the CIP, which is the City’s five-year plan for
infrastructure projects. The CIP addresses the City’s needs relating to the acquisition, expansion,
and rehabilitation of long-lived facilities and infrastructure. The CIP serves as a planning instrument
in conjunction with the City’s General Plan and the City Council’s Goals to identify needed capital
projects and coordinate the financing and timing of improvements in a way that maximizes the
return to the public. It provides a planned systematic approach to utilizing the City’s limited financial
resources in the most responsive and efficient manner to meet its service and infrastructure needs.
It serves as the “blueprint” for the future of the community and is a management and planning tool,
rather than a binding document.
The underlying strategy of the CIP is to plan for necessary land acquisition, construction and
maintenance of public facilities necessary for the safe and efficient provision of public services in
accordance with City policies and objectives adopted in the City’s General Plan. A critical element
of a balanced CIP is the provision of funds to both preserve or enhance existing facilities and
provide new assets to respond to changing needs and community growth. While the program
serves as a long range plan, it is reviewed and revised annually in conjunction with the budget.
Priorities may be changed due to funding opportunities or circumstances that propel a project to a
higher importance. Along the way, projects may be revised for significant costing variances.
The CIP is primarily a document that assists in addressing the City’s long-term needs. As such,
the projects and their scopes are subject to change from year to year as the needs of the community
become more defined and projects move closer to final implementation. The adoption of the CIP
is neither a commitment to a particular project nor a limitation to a particular cost. As a basic tool
for scheduling anticipated capital projects, it is also a key element in controlling future capital
financing. For this reason, the CIP includes some “unfunded” projects in which needs have been
qualified, but specific solutions and funding sources have not been determined.
When adopted, the CIP provides the framework for the City’s management team and the City
Council with respect to investment planning, project planning and the managing of any debt. This
document is independent of the City Council’s goals and is intended to serve as a mid-term planning
document.
THE CIP PROCESS
The capital improvement plan and budget is the result of an ongoing infrastructure planning
process. Infrastructure planning decisions must be made with regard to both existing and new
facilities and equipment. For existing facilities, the planning process addresses appropriate capital
renewal strategies and repair-versus-replacement of facilities. New service demands are also
considered since they often affect capital facility requirements. Planning for the five-year CIP
period and subsequent years, includes linking the General Plan to the capital plan requirements,
conducting needs assessments and allowing for flexibility to take advantage of opportunities for
3
6-7
capital investment. The FY14-15 through FY18-19 CIP is developed through input from
professional staff, citizens of Rancho Palos Verdes, and elected or appointed City officials.
CIP REVIEW TEAM
A CIP Review team is responsible for annually reviewing capital project requests and providing
recommendations to the City Manager. This team is comprised of staff from the Office of the City
Manager, Finance, Public Works, Community Development, and Recreation and Parks
departments, and the City Attorney. This team conducts an in-depth analysis of the impact of the
CIP on present and future cash flows and financial obligations, as well as the City’s ability to
finance, process, design, and ultimately maintain projects. The team will also analyze the fiscal
impact for each individual project; including future maintenance and replacement costs, associated
monetary benefits (e.g. future maintenance savings), as well as any applicable future revenue
opportunities. The team meets periodically throughout the year to evaluate the progress of
projects, and examine future needs of the City.
The overall goal of the CIP Review Team is to develop CIP recommendations that:
Preserve the past by investing in the continued upgrade of City assets and infrastructure;
Protect the present with improvements to City facilities and infrastructure;
Plan for the future.
Projects are identified by staff, professional consultants, residents and/or elected officials. There
are typically more proposals than can be funded in the five-year CIP period, so the team conducts
an internal project ranking process. The criteria used in this internal ranking includes, but is not
limited to, safety, support of essential City services, support of City Council’s goals, economy and
efficiency, outside funding committed (or eligible for), and community quality/sustainability.
Projects are prioritized based on the criteria outlined in this plan in the following section. If a project
receives a lower ranking, it just means that other projects in that period of time are more critical for
the City to address. While ratings are important in determining recommended projects, the realities
of the City’s financial situation are critical to all decisions.
CIP CRITERIA
Safety: Enhance or improve the overall safety of the City and delivery of services. Protect the
health and welfare of residents.
Supports Essential City Services: Maintenance and development of existing or new facilities and
infrastructure which allows the City to deliver essential services to residents of Rancho Palos
Verdes.
Supports City Council Goals: Supports the goals annually established by the City Council in the
CITY COUNCIL. Meets citywide long-term goals and is in compliance with the City’s General Plan.
Economy and Efficiency: Maintain and enhance the economy and efficiency of providing services
in Rancho Palos Verdes. This criterion would include projects which improve business processes
and overall efficiency while also evaluating environmental impacts.
Outside Funding Committed or Eligible: Support a project which outside funding has been
committed to or may be obtained through restricted revenue sources.
Community Quality/Sustainability: Maintain and enhance the infrastructure and services which
supports our residential and business community. This criterion would include projects which
preserve and enhance the overall quality of life in Rancho Palos Verdes and projects which ensure
economic viability to support a the community.

PROJECT LISTS
The CIP includes a comprehensive listing of all projects contained in the Five-Year Plan and also
projects beyond the five-year period. Detailed project sheets are contained in the plan for all
projects included in the CIP. Another list of unfunded projects is also contained in the plan to
highlight quantified projects beyond the five-year period. Projects which are included in the CIP
were evaluated based on the criteria approved by the City Council and are in compliance with the
goals set forth in the City’s General Plan. Application of these criteria ensures that each project
recommended for Council consideration does indeed support the policy objectives of the City’s
long-term planning documents and identifies a basis for scheduling and allocation of resources.
Cost estimates have been developed for each project based on preliminary project descriptions,
and include all estimated costs for land acquisition, permits and inspections, project management
and project engineering, consultant design, construction, utilities, information technology
infrastructure and other associated project fees. Estimates are in today’s dollars.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT POLICIES
Time Period
The Finance Department, in cooperation with all other City Departments and the City Attorney,
shall produce a working document designed to identify capital needs annually in conjunction with
the budget process. This Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is submitted to the City Council
to utilize in reviewing and prioritizing capital projects. After adoption by Council during the budget
process, the CIP becomes the City’s plan for capital improvements for the next five years, adjusted
annually.
Type of Project
Definitions
Capital asset: An asset with a cost in excess of $5,000 and an expected useful life of more than
one year, such as automobiles, equipment, and furniture. These items will continue to be included
in the operating budget. Items such as automobiles, minor equipment, and furniture will continue
to be accounted for and funded using the Equipment Replacement Fund and are not included in
the capital improvement plan.
Capital project: A project expected to have a useful life greater than ten years and an estimated
cost of $100,000 or more. Capital projects include the construction, acquisition, or major renovation
of buildings, roadways, utility systems, or other structures, purchase of land, and major landscaping
projects.
5
6-9
Projects meeting the above definition will be included in the CIP document in addition to the City’s
budget document. The information will be tied to the capital budget and totals for each project in
the CIP will be included in the capital budget.
Selecting the Projects for the CIP
The comprehensive capital project planning process has the following essential components:
The General Plan (Long-term Plan - 10 Years)
The Capital Improvement Plan (Mid-term Plan - 5 Years)
The Capital Budget (Short-term Plan - 1 Year)
City Council Goals (Long-term and Short-term evaluated each year)
All projects selected for the CIP should be consistent with the goals identified by the City Council
or as outlined in the City’s General Plan. The project selection process strives to achieve a
balanced plan for the community to include all necessary and high priority projects, while also
enhancing City services and facilities.
Operating Budget Impact Identified in the CIP
The operating impact of proposed capital projects, including personnel, operating expenditures,
capital outlay, and debt service, as applicable, will be identified in the CIP document and considered
in preparing the annual operating budget and Five-Year Financial Model.
Moving Projects from the CIP to the Capital Budget
All projects approved in the annual capital budget are appropriated at the estimated cost to
complete the project. At the end of each fiscal year, the remaining appropriation for uncompleted
portions of the project will be carried forward to subsequent fiscal years.
Staff will identify the estimated costs, potential funding sources, operating impact, and project
schedule for each capital project proposal before it is submitted to the City Council.
Staff will coordinate development of the capital improvement budget with the development of the
operating budget. All costs for internal professional services needed to implement the CIP will be
included in the capital budget as part of the budget document for the years the CIP is to be
implemented.
Cost tracking for components of the capital improvement program will be updated semi-annually to
ensure project completion against budget and established time lines.
Funding of the CIP Reserve Fund
City Council Policy No. 41 regarding the City’s Reserves provides for a minimum CIP Reserve level
of $3,000,000 for emergency projects, the transfer of the total annual Transient Occupancy Tax
(TOT) revenue into the CIP Reserve, and the transfer of any prior year General Fund favorable
expenditure variance to the CIP Reserve. The TOT revenue for FY14-15 is estimated to be about
$4 million.
Definition of Capital Budget Year
A capital budget year runs concurrent to the operating budget fiscal year beginning July 1st and
ending June 30th.
Types of Financing
The nature and cost of the project generally determines the financing options as do projected
revenue resources. The following financing instruments could be used in the following preferred
order:
Outside funding that does not require repayment, including grants, federal, state and
county restricted funding (i.e. transportation funding), and donations;
6
6-10
Developer Fees;
City restricted revenue imposed by voters (i.e. environmental excise tax, storm drain user
fee);
Accumulated Fund Balances in Restricted Funds;
General Fund;
Debt secured by a Restricted Revenue Source; and
General Obligation Debt.
Remaining Balances
It is the City’s policy to apply restricted funding sources after a project is completed and final cost
is identified, or at the close of each fiscal year, whichever occurs first.
Evaluation of Capital Projects
Capital project and program reviews are to monitor existing project performance and to update the
Five-Year CIP. Each project must be actively managed and semi-annual reports on the physical
and fiscal status of each project should be made available to the City Council in conjunction with
the budget adoption and Mid-Year Financial Review.
Green Building Standards
The City of Rancho Palos Verdes requires the incorporation of green building principles and
practices into the design, construction, and operation of all City facilities, and to evaluate all land
purchases for future development on the basis of reducing environmental impacts whenever
feasible.
Standards for Maintenance
It is important to have standards in place for the various infrastructure systems throughout the City
to maintain this investment and be positioned to provide adequate services for the residents of
Rancho Palos Verdes. Staff will develop maintenance standards and schedules as appropriate.
Contingency Policy
The need for contingencies will be evaluated with each project and be included in the CIP on a
case-by-case basis.
Project Change Orders
Project change orders will be made in accordance with the policy stated in Section 02.44 of the
Municipal Code.
GENERAL PLAN GOALS
The goals stated below are included in the City’s General Plan which serves as the City’s long-term
strategic planning tool. All CIP projects should contribute to fulfilling one or more of the goals listed

Buildings and other facility improvements may include any proposed new City
facility or renovation or improvement of any existing City facilities. The City owns
and maintains the following public buildings:
City Hall Administration Building at Point Vicente Park
City Hall Community Development Building at Point Vicente Park
City Hall trailer leased by Palos Verdes on the Net at Point Vicente Park
City Hall Emergency Communications Center trailer at Point Vicente Park
Fred Hesse Jr. Community Center Building
Pointe Vicente Interpretive Center (PVIC) at Lower Point Vicente Park
Robert Ryan Park Building
Ladera Linda Community Center Buildings (5)
RPV TV Studio Building
Buildings at Abalone Cove Shoreline Park, currently used for staffing, public
restrooms, and a nursery school on the beach.
Pelican Cove Restroom Building
Except for PVIC, these buildings are 25 years old or older and showing the signs
of daily use. Many of the facilities were purchased from the school district or
transferred to the City from the federal government, and little to no improvements
have been made since their acquisition. It is important to perform adequate
maintenance to extend the life of these facilities. It will be necessary to renovate
these buildings as they age to meet the needs of the community and ensure that
all building and safety guidelines are satisfied. PVIC, the most recently remodeled
City facility, was built in 1984 and expanded in 2005. The City Hall buildings and
Ladera Linda Community Center buildings are the best examples of buildings that
are in great need of renovation to meet organizational needs, comply with safety
and code requirements, and comply with all Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
guidelines. The projects listed on the following pages have been developed based
on individual staff assessments, input from the community and professional
consultants’ assessments and studies.
In November 2010, the City’s consultants completed a Civic Center Facilities
Assessment, which offered alternatives and general cost estimates for building
improvements to serve municipal functions, as well as optional public amenities
with a view to the long-term needs of the City. The alternatives identified range
widely from a “no-frills” structural, HVAC and ADA retrofit to the existing
administration facility--to newly-constructed civic facilities which could incorporate
community-serving amenities (public meeting rooms, community center, etc.). In
light of competing CIP demands, the City Council has directed Staff to focus on
cost-effective renovation of existing City Hall buildings. Therefore, the full-
expansion, new construction alternative is not included in the Unfunded project list
within this document. The City Council ad-hoc subcommittee for the Point
Vicente/Civic Center Master Plan is working with Staff on a critical needs
12
6-16
assessment, including the seismic retrofit of City Hall buildings, improvements to
address ADA compliance throughout the campus, as well as heating, ventilation,
and air conditioning. Once those projects are fully considered by the Council, the
project description and associated costs will be incorporated in accordance with
Council’s direction into the CIP schedule.

PROJECT: CITYWIDE ADA TRANSITION PLAN
IMPLEMENTATION
TYPE: Buildings and Other Facility Improvements
LOCATION: Various
DEPARTMENT: Public works
DESCRIPTION:
The Citywide ADA Transition Plan, adopted by the City Council on
June 4, 2013, identified total costs of $11.85 million for
implementation. The cost estimate included improvements to ADA
compliance at the Civic Center (buildings and grounds) totaling
$1.36 million, and those at Ladera Linda Park totaling $1.72 million.
Any future improvements at those sites are expected to bring the
facilities into ADA compliance. Additionally, the total cost of $11.85
million includes right-of-way improvements totaling $2.64 million,
including curb ramps and bus stops. Those improvements will be
addressed as part of each roadway rehabilitation project. The
remaining identified costs of $6.12 million will be addressed through
this annual implementation allocation.
Total project costs to remove barriers categorized as “potential
hazard” and “severe” was estimated to be about $800,000. Phase
1 of ADA Transition Plan (TP) implementation for those categories
was appropriated in FY13-14 for $400,000. The FY14-15
appropriation is for Phase 2 of TP implementation for the same
categories. The allocations in Years 2 through 5 are for other
improvements included in the $6.12 million cost estimate noted
above.

FIBER OPTIC CABLING: ABALONE
COVE SEWER LIFT STATIONS/
SHORELINE PARK/LADERA LINDA
TYPE: Buildings and Other Facility Improvements
LOCATION: Ladera Linda/Abalone Cove Shoreline Park
DEPARTMENT: Administration and Public Works
DESCRIPTION:
This project includes the installation of fiber optic cabling for unified
communications and data transmission between remote City park and
infrastructure facilities and the Civic Center administration facility. It
is essential to establish communications to Abalone Cove Shore Line
Park, the Abalone Cove Sewer Lift Stations and Ladera Linda
Park. Improved connectivity with Ladera Linda is essential to provide
full communication services to the eastside community park in
conjunction with its rehabilitation. The entire fiber optic run could
occur by a combination of aerial and underground line placement.
The project includes running a single line of fiber optic cabling on its
own network from City Hall to Abalone Cove Shoreline Park, Abalone
Cove Sewer lift stations and on to Ladera Linda Park, with the cost of
approximately $1.6M. The work would entail installing 24-48 strand
fiber in 3” conduit within the public right of way along Palos Verdes
Drive South by either open cut or boring construction methods.
Due to challenges with running fiber through the landslide area, the
option of leasing fiber from an Internet Service Provider between the
Civic Center and Ladera Linda will be included in the scope of the
project. Cox Communications currently has fiber that connects to
users along the road adjacent to Ladera Linda.

TYPE: Buildings and Other Facility Improvements
LOCATION: Ladera Linda Park
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
DESCRIPTION:
The initial stage of this project, for which a budget has been
appropriated, is to create a master plan which will lay the
groundwork for the site’s long-term redevelopment and phased
implementation. This stage involves a study of community needs
through public outreach along with contemplating the City’s needs
for public service facilities. This work will be followed by
programming, quantifying the needs, planning and preparing a
feasibility report to create a master plan which can be phased for
design and construction.
The cost calculation for Ladera Linda Buildings Replacement
project is based on an estimated need for 12,000 square-feet of
buildings to replace the existing 18,000 square-feet. The
anticipated square footage could include park restrooms, a staff
building, multipurpose room, activity rooms, discovery room and a
Park Ranger/Deputy Sheriff drop-in office. Other improvements
include park grounds landscaping & irrigation, picnic tables,
benches and an emergency generator. The project can be divided
in three phases. The first phase will include Hazmat abatement,
removal of all buildings, installation of all utility infrastructures, the
construction of 6,000 SF of new building, park grounds, landscaping
& improvements. The second and third phase will include 3,000 SF
of new buildings each.

ROADWAY INFRASTRUCTURE
Roadway infrastructure is one of the most widely used major capital investments
of a municipality. Without a well-maintained street system, the transportation
needs of the public, business, industry and government cannot be met. The roads
are also part of a critical public safety need, as they contribute to the general health
and welfare of the community. Maintaining quality roadway infrastructure is also
important for maintaining property values. It has been shown that property values
tend to suffer from adjacent poorly maintained streets. Roadway infrastructure
includes residential streets, arterial streets and traffic safety improvements. In the
City of Rancho Palos Verdes, there are 44.3 miles of arterial streets and 104.2
miles of residential streets. The total for all streets and alleys mileage is 148.5
centerline miles.
To manage the City’s residential and arterial streets, the City hires a consultant
that completes a full-detailed assessment of all streets every three years. This
report, known as the Pavement Management Program (PMP), helps to identify any
serious issues and provides the City with a rating for each street. The report
includes the overall Pavement Condition Index (PCI). The City of Rancho Palos
Verdes maintains a minimum standard for PCI for a municipal street system at 80.
The City’s current PCI is 81.8 based upon the PMP report prepared by Bucknam
Infrastructure Group, Inc. in 2013. Since 1997 the City has maintained a pavement
rating between 80 and 90. The report also helps in defining a schedule to complete
the work. The City has been divided into nine zones for residential streets, but in
the case of some areas, zones may be completed together in one year for added
efficiency.

UTILITY UNDERGROUNDING
Pursuant to a formula set out in Tariff Rule 20A by the California Public Utilities
Commission (CPUC), Southern California Edison is required to set aside an annual
amount of work credits for the purpose of undergrounding electrical utilities within
each city. Work credits are not funds available to the City to expend; they are utility
company funds budgeted to perform engineering and construction work. To
qualify, cities must determine that
• Undergrounding will avoid or eliminate an unusually heavy concentration of
overhead electric facilities
• The street or road or right-of-way is extensively used by the general public
and carries a high volume of pedestrian or vehicle traffic.
• The street, road or right-of-way adjoins or passes through a civic area or
public recreation area or an area of unusual scenic interest to the general
public.
• The street or road or right-of-way is considered an arterial street or major
collector as defined in the Governor's Office of Planning and Research
General Plan Guidelines.
Under the tariff, work credits not committed to a qualifying project in one year are
carried over to the next year. Annually, the City receives approximately $80,000
in Rule 20A funds. As of May 2012, the City’s Rule 20A fund balance was
$839,749. In 2009, the CPUC amended the code to allow for governments to
“mortgage” their current year’s work credits up to an additional five years in order
to be able to undertake a qualifying Rule 20A project sooner than otherwise
possible.
The following project(s) has been identified that meet the criterion for the usage
of Rule 20A work credits and would benefit the City as whole.

STORM DRAIN SYSTEM
In June 2004, the City’s consulting engineers prepared an Update to the Storm
Drain Master Plan. The updated plan identified serious storm drain deficiencies
that required significant repair. The update identified 38 high-priority projects,
which were the basis for establishing a “user fee.” Since then, some projects have
been completed, and others have been reassessed to meet changing priorities and
needs. A new Master Plan of Drainage is underway and expected to be completed
in FY14-15. It is expected that new projects and priorities will be identified as the
City seeks to eliminate deficiencies in the storm drain system infrastructure and
add the structural improvements required for both water quality and flood
protection. The 38 projects identified in the 2004 Master Plan have been grouped
into 12 project areas, as listed below; however, these groupings may become
obsolete with the new Master Plan.
Area 1: Sunnyside Ridge
Area 2: McCarrell Canyon Storm Drain System

years. CMP dating back to the 1940s have been discovered and
require rehabilitation along with those most recently installed in the
1970s. A large number of drainage problems citywide can be
overcome by relining deteriorated pipes and improving inlets and
outlet structures.

LANDSLIDE MITIGATION PROJECTS
The City’s Landslide Mitigation Projects refers to projects that lessen the effect of
erosion on the Portuguese Bend Landslide, which is the only continuously active
landslide in the United States. These projects are intended to address landslide
movement and public safety risks by using proven methods such as runoff
diversion, dewatering and geospatial monitoring.

PROJECT: INSTALLATION OF LANDSLIDE
DEWATERING WELLS
TYPE: Landslide Project
LOCATION: Portuguese Bend and Abalone Cove
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
DESCRIPTION:
Dewatering Wells are a high priority and are considered to be the
most effective method of minimizing runoff from entering the
landslide, which helps slow land movement within the landslide.
All runoff that percolates into the ground eventually becomes part
of the groundwater and will cause an increase in the depth of the
groundwater table. Removing groundwater through dewatering
wells helps to lower the groundwater table, relieving soil pressures
at depth and minimizing the negative effects groundwater has on
the landslide. These new wells should improve the system’s
effectiveness by increasing the system’s water removal capacity
and by removing water more rapidly. The cost to install each well
is estimated to be $90,000.

PROJECT: LANDSLIDE EARLY WARNING
SYSTEM (LEWS)

LOCATION: Palos Verdes Drive South in the Portuguese Bend Landslide Area
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
DESCRIPTION:
The main sewer trunk line owned and operated by the Sanitation
Districts of Los Angeles County, and which serves a significant
portion of the residential properties in RPV, parallels the PVDS
roadway aboveground in the landslide area. Both facilities require
constant maintenance due to landslide movement, which poses a
significant operational hazard should the landslide experience rapid
land movement. Closure of these facilities would be highly
disruptive to the city’s economic vitality, transportation, public health
and safety and use of public open space and trails. Sewer overflows
from the trunk line could potentially threaten the ecosystems of the
nearby Pacific Ocean coastline. A landslide early warning system
(LEWS) would provide critical advanced knowledge of changed
landslide conditions by alerting public safety and public works first
responders, who would be able to respond sooner and more
proactively with public safety information and preventative
measures.

STORM WATER QUALITY
In order to comply with the new Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System (MS4)
Permit requirements in California, the Peninsula cities are working together to
address storm water quality issues by developing an Enhanced Watershed
Management Plan (EWMP). The plan may require capital improvements as well
as operational changes. Capital improvements will likely include treatment
projects, as well as water quality monitoring stations in storm drain outfalls to be
used in wet or dry weather. To meet requirements of the Regional Water Quality
Board, it is anticipated that automated data collection systems will need to be
designed and installed in several locations in the various watersheds of the City.

SEWER PROJECTS
The City’s sanitary sewer system is essential for City operations, yet it has not
required significant expenditures in past years due to an inter-local agreement with
Los Angeles County for maintenance activities. The City owns the system, but the
County has the primary responsibility for ongoing maintenance. The County
collects a sewer fee from the City’s property owners that may be inadequate to
maintain the system. Although the County maintains the City’s sewer system, the
City retains responsibility for its operation, public safety and welfare. The City, not
the County, maintains legal and regulatory responsibility (i.e. any state or federal
fines resulting from spillage).
The City conducted a survey of the system, and in 2004 the Sanitary Sewer Master
Plan was created to help in the management of this asset. The study examined
sample areas throughout the City and assessed the overall system as “fair.” The
inspection revealed root intrusion in the pipes and cracking in the pipes, in addition
to accumulated fats and grease clogging certain areas. It appeared that the
County had not been performing preventative maintenance in prior years. Without
regular maintenance, overflows due to root and grease blockages will occur. To
minimize the potential for overflow and to restore and maintain the system in
“good” condition, a significant investment in pipeline inspection, repair and
maintenance is required. The County is nearing completion of a full inspection and
cleaning of all RPV sewer mains.
The projects identified herein were included in the City’s Wastewater Master Plan
Update which was completed in 2009 to address potential locations of under-
capacity (the ability of the existing pipe to convey sewage flows without overflowing
into the street). The County maintenance and repair program does not provide for
replacement of pipeline due to capacity issues.
The Abalone Cove Sewer District is a unique system serving 110 developed
parcels in an active landslide area, and is maintained by the City. Sewer user fees
are collected from property owners, but are not sufficient to provide for
maintenance and rehabilitation of the system. The Abalone Cove Sewer District
is heavily subsidized by the City.

RECREATION, PARKS & OPEN SPACE
The development and maintenance of community parks, recreational areas and
open space has been established as a top priority for the City as stated in the
General Plan and various other planning documents. The General Plan states,
“It is the goal of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes to conserve, protect and
enhance its natural resources, beauty and open space for the benefit and
enjoyment of its residents and the residents of the entire region. Future
development shall recognize the sensitivity of the natural environment and
be accomplished in such a manner as to maximize the protection of it.”
Many park sites and open space areas have been acquired throughout the City,
and some have been developed for use by the general public. Some sites remain
vacant or underutilized. The City Council approved the Vision Plan in September
2008 which outlines various trail and park projects which have been included in
this plan. The Public Use Master Plan has also outlined a strategy for the
development of trails. These recreational projects add to the vibrancy of the
community and they are designed to contribute to all residents’ quality of life.
Parks and other open spaces have been carefully planned to take advantage of
the beautiful coastline and natural landscape of the peninsula.

TYPE: Buildings and Other Facility Improvements
LOCATION: Various
DEPARTMENT: Public W orks
DESCRIPTION:
The Citywide ADA Transition Plan, adopted by the City Council on
June 4, 2013, identified total costs of $11.85 million for
implementation. The cost estimate included improvements to ADA
compliance at the Civic Center (buildings and grounds) totaling
$1.36 million, and those at Ladera Linda Park totaling $1.72 million.
Any future improvements at those sites are expected to bring the
facilities into ADA compliance. Additionally, the total cost of $11.85
million includes right-of-way improvements totaling $2.64 million,
including curb ramps and bus stops. Those improvements will be
addressed as part of each roadway rehabilitation project. The
remaining identified costs of $6.12 million will be addressed through
an annual implementation allocation that began in FY13-14. Project
costs “funded” through FY18-19 total $1.45 million. The remaining
portion of the $6.12 million, which has not been moved to the
“funded” list is included here.

existing corporations/storage yard is located on the Point Vicente
Park site which had been identified for various other community
uses due to its prime location.
It may be feasible to create a central location for the storage yard
with satellite locations throughout the City, serving the storage and
other construction needs of the Public Works Department. The
central location of the storage yard will be situated at or near City
Hall for administrative purposes. This central location will control all
satellite locations through the use of maintenance personnel and
through the efficient use of the City’s network.

DESCRIPTION:
The RPV Infrastructure Management Plan (IMP) will be the tool to
chart an operations and financial course for the actions and funding
required to maintain and preserve community public property, which
will improve the condition of each infrastructure category. The IMP
will provide a comprehensive basis to create a reality-based capital
improvement program by allowing the City Council and the
community to determine the impact of different funding
strategies/scenarios and prioritize project delivery over the course
of multiple planning decades. The IMP will also estimate technical
and funding requirements and make recommendations of policies
to assist the City Council with program implementation, goal-setting,
and prioritization.
The IMP will include:
• Integration with the City’s geographic information system
(GIS) and the future use of an asset/maintenance
management system
• A civic engagement process to invite, assess, evaluate, and
include citizen-initiated capital improvement projects (CIP)
• Identification of best management practices and key
performance indicators for each infrastructure category to
help guide policy formulation and decision-making
• A web-based tool for “what-if” scenarios based on priorities

PROJECT: PRESERVE TRAILS PLAN - NEW
TRAIL IMPLEMENTATION
TYPE: Recreation, Parks, & Open Space
LOCATION: Palos Verdes Nature Preserve
DEPARTMENT: Community Development/Public Works
DESCRIPTION:
In October 2012, the City Council adopted an updated Preserve
Trails Plan (PTP) for the NCCP’s Palos Verdes Nature Preserve
which identifies trail routes and trail uses within the Preserve.
Pursuant to the approved management agreement between the
City and PVPLC, the PVPLC is responsible for maintenance and
repair of existing unimproved trails in the Preserve while the City is
responsible for the construction of new trails identified in the PTP.
According to the PTP, there are 3 approved trail routes that
currently do not exist and need to be constructed at some point by
the City. Since projects are moving forward on two of the three new
trails needed (the Smugglers Trail in the Abalone Cove Reserve
and the Switchback Trail in the San Ramon Reserve, construction
of the Crystal Trail (.12 mile) in the Forrestal Reserve remains as
the only new trail that needs construction. In addition, the Rim Trail
will need to be relocated since the current route passes over private
property in Rolling Hills.
