Councilman Misetich reported that Dr.Brophy lost the lawsuit against the City Council
regarding the Argument Against Measure P and in another lawsuit the same judge
found that the Rebuttal to the Argument Against Measure P by Marymount College
contained misleading statements.Councilman Misetich stated that he had voted in
favor of the Council-approved Marymount College Expansion Project and noted that the
Initiative was unnecessary.He stated that the Marymount Initiative was really about
Marymount's Plan to build two high-density dormitories in a single-family residential
neighborhood.He continued that Marymount College did not ask the Council for
approval of the dormitories and choose instead to qualify an Initiative to create a Special
District to become a land-use island unto itself,to eliminate important City oversight as
an end-run around the City's processes.He concluded that he was sending a letter
requesting a retraction of the use of his name without his permission and an apology
from Marymount College.

PUBLIC COMMENTS:
Mark Wells,Rancho Palos Verdes,stated that even though a Superior Court Judge
orders something to be done,it does not necessarily get done by the folks that are
responsible for getting it done;that one can be chastised for using their first amendment
rights regarding mailings;that CRA stands for California Republican Assembly;that
Marymount has a new advertisement regarding the silence on campus after the new
dormitories are built;and that members of Marymount College community have not kept
to the high road as they promised they WOUld.

James Gordon,Rancho Palos Verdes,stated that he had recently received a
Marymount College mailer containing false and misleading statements and referred the
public to the October 2007 Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR)project description,
which discusses Marymount College's previous approval of the dormitories,noting
differences in the height and size of the dormitory structures and the number of students
to be allowed to live in the dormitories.He stated that he has reported Marymount
College to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)and the Attorney General of the State
of California for false and misleading information in advertising,and noted that he was
pleased that there was a legal judgment that states the same.
Ken Dyda,Rancho Palos Verdes,stated that a recent Marymount College mailing
seems to have as its theme a desperate need for dormitories,noting if that were the
major issue,the initiative could have been one page long instead of 51 pages in length.
He opined that the 51 page long initiative contains much detail designed to hide the real
thrust of the initiative,which is land use.He stated that the initiative includes a special
zone for one owner on one property,which is spot zoning;the removal of any resident
or City review approval without the owner's consent;reduces the City's to a ministerial
clerical function of approving the submitted applications and occupancy permits;enjoins
the City of any review approval,public hearing,or deliberation on the issues;is not
limited to dormitories;and is a departure from the land use controls for which the City
was formed 37 years ago.He noted that 37 years later,Save Our Coastline members
and the League of Women Voters have taken a position of opposition to Measure P on
the November ballot.
Jeff Lewis,Rancho Palos Verdes,stated that the false tactics described by Councilman
Misetich is a campaign tactic that Marymount College is using daily in its fliers and other
communications.He reviewed several slides with statements from the Marymount
College website that contain false and misleading statements regarding the following:
on-campus student housing/dormitories;the benefits of the library facilities,pool and
gym;and,the time-frame of 36 months for the construction of the project.He concluded
that on September 8,2010,Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Yafee concluded that
Marymount College included false and misleading statements in its Rebuttal to the
Argument Against Measure P,which were stricken by the Court;and he inquired if the
Marymount College Trustees had authorized this conduct.
Ellen November,Skatepark PV,Rancho Palos Verdes,spoke regarding the need for a
Skate Park on the Hill.She stated that the children and Peninsula Community need a
skate park and raised concerns regarding safety and the provision of a welcoming area
where skateboarding can be practiced.She stated that the skateboarding is a
mainstream sport which ranks third in popularity among US youth;requested that an
item be placed on the Council agenda regarding the matter;and suggested that a skate
park facility could be located at Lower Hesse Park or Robert Ryan Park.
Julie Turner,Executive Director,San Pedro &Peninsula YMCA,San Pedro,spoke in
support of a skate park,noting that the YMCA was focused on building foundations of a

community and nurturing children to become all that they can be;expressed interest in
an opportunity for a program to link kids with adult mentors to teach them properly,
show them how to be safe,and keep them healthy and active.She noted that the
YMCA wants to be a provider and manage this kind of program on the Hill,and noted
that there were many good examples of YMCA skateboarding programs around the
country,with one of them located in Orange County.
Mike Ortega,Skatepark PV,Palos Verdes Estates,stated that he and his children have
been very athletic,involved in many of the traditional sports on the hill,noting that he
had coached sports including two successful competitive club baseball teams.He
spoke in support of a skate park on the Peninsula.
Kenny Anderson,Skatepark PV,Rancho Palos Verdes,stated that he is a resident of
the City of Rancho Palos Verdes,has three children,and is a professional
skateboarder.He reported that he has been skateboarding for 24 years,12 years as a
professional, noting that skateboarding taught him how to focus on success,failure,
determination,health, passion and life in general.He shared his success as a skate
boarder and spoke in support of a skate park on the Peninsula.
Jim Knight,Rancho Palos Verdes,stated that he was present to speak about Measure
P.He reported that the dormitories were part of the original proposal that was before
the Planning Commission,and that a team of independent consultants concluded that
the dormitories had a significant and unavoidable impact to the land use Development
Code.He provided a background of the Marymount College project history,stating that
after the submittal of the Draft EIR,the Planning Commission took a courtesy poll to see
if there was support for making the necessary findings to make the dormitories an
overriding consideration,noted that the Planning Commission could not make the
necessary findings for the dormitories,and Marymount College staff voluntarily removed
the dormitories from the original Marymount College project.He stated that Measure P
brings the dormitories back into the project,overrides the Conditional Use Permit,
represents the danger of ballot box development,and usurps current zoning laws,
General Plan,Coastal Specific Plan,which preserves the character of the community to
allow balanced and uniform development.He concluded that Measure P would take
away the rights of the voters to petition their elected officials if something does not go
right with the Marymount College Plan,and the voters would have to petition to have
another initiative placed on a ballot to make a change,noting that he hoped the voters
would make an informed decision on the issue.
Ron Smith,Rancho Palos Verdes,Directorffreasurer,West Basin Municipal Water
District,stated that the Water District recently completed a DVD and asked that the City
partner with the West Basin Municipal Water District to broadcast and air the public
education DVD regarding the West Basin's initiative,Water Reliability 2020,to bring and
create autonomous local sources of water in the Southern California area.

ITEM REMOVED FROM CONSENT CALENDAR:
Establishing Pedestrian-Activated Traffic Controls on Crest Road at Whitley
Collins Drive
Senior Engineer Jules provided a brief staff report regarding establishing pedestrian-
activated traffic controls at the intersection of Crest Road at Whitley Collins Drive.
Erin LaMonte,Mesa Palos Verdes Homeowners Association (HOA),Rancho Palos
Verdes,stated that the Board of the HOA discussed this item and was in support of
staff's recommendation of no sign or traffic signal at the intersection of Crest Road and
Whitley Collins Drive.She stated that the Board was concerned that the flashing
beacon and crosswalk may provide the students with a false sense of security at this
location.
Joe Locascio,Rancho Palos Verdes,stated that he applauded staff's recommendation
to not install a traffic signal at the intersection,but questioned the wisdom of placing the
pedestrian-activated traffic control beacon and crosswalk at the intersection since the
area often has heavy fog.He stated that the expenditure of $28,000 for the
recommended traffic control was not too much for safety,but he opined it was not
money well-spent due to the false sense of security it may provide for those who might
cross the street.
Ray Mathys,Mesa Palos Verdes HOA,Rancho Palos Verdes,stated that he had the
following concerns regarding Crest Road:1)the use of this street as a major
thoroughfare for emergency vehicles;and,2)use by automobiles as a detour during
high commuter hours,during congested school traffic hours,and for Peninsula
Shopping Center traffic.He noted that the importance of the following:that the free
flow of traffic be maintained;the traffic should be moving at the posted speed limits;and
traffic conditions at Whitley Collins and Crest Road do not warrant the installation of a
four-way stop sign or traffic signal.He opined that a pedestrian-activated flashing
yellow light and marked crosswalk without stop signs or signals have a history of being
hazardous,noting his preference for a continuous flashing yellow light with more
frequent use of a radar gun at this location.
Councilman Misetich moved,seconded by Councilman Campbell,to approve the staff
recommendation to:1)ADOPT RESOLUTION NO.2010-84,A RESOLUTION OF THE
CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES,ESTABLISHING
TRAFFIC CONTROLS ON CREST ROAD AT WHITLEY COLLINS DRIVE;and,
