Yes, at least for now. The Rancho Palos Verdes City Council moved forward on Tuesday night with a 12 -month pilot pro- gram for an off -leash dog beach. In addition, the council has asked for additional safety signage at the beach and access trails, and increased enforce- ment of Hiles. Council also requested that the city's Plan- ning Commission look at vari- ous options for the beach. including sectioning off an area for dogs, instituting special days or hours that dogs are allowed on the beach, and establishing a permit require- ment, which could help offset the cost of maintaining the beach. The 5 -acre beach, located below Trump National Golf Club, has received a lot of media attention as it is one of two off -leash dog beaches in Los Angeles County; the other is in Long Beach. This has resi- dents concerned that the beach will attract a higher volume of dogs and dog owners from out of the area. Residents say there already has been an increase in the beach's use since news orga- nizations have publicized the city's dog beach outreach pro- gram. "The word is out that leash laws are not enforced in Ran- cho Palos Verdes Beach, and dog owners from all over the Los Angeles area are swarming the beach with their off -leash dogs in ever-increasing num- bers," said Jeffrey Dorsett, a Seaview resident and dog owner who opposes the off -leash dog beach. Dorsett added that he and his wife used to take their grandchildren to the beach, but no longer do so because of the increased number of uncon- trolled dogs. He said in pre,! - BEACH B3 * - - L The 5 -acre off -leash dog beach has attracted a high volume of dogs and dog owners, partly because of the media attention surrounding it. RPV Beach rules • Dogs are not permitted on the beach at any time other than scheduled hours, or at any place along the shoreline other than the designated recreational area and direct access to and from it. • Dogs are not permitted to trespass on any private property. • The off -leash dog area must be accessed from the Sunset Trail or the Sunrise Trail from Founders Park. • Dog owners must possess a leash for the dog that shall be worn by the dog at all times that the dog is outside of any off -leash dog areas. • Each dog must be under the control of an adult, and only one dog per adult is permitted. The dog must be under visual and voice control by the owner at all times. • Dog owners must be able to demonstrate that they have a suitable container or instrument to remove dog feces and shall dispose of it in waste containers provided for that purpose. • All dogs must wear a collar with current tags. • Current vaccinations and licenses are required. • Aggressive dogs are not permitted, and any dog exhibiting aggressive behavior must be removed from the beach immediately. • Owners are legally responsible for any injury caused by dogs. • Female dogs in heat are not permitted on beach. • An adult must supervise children under the age of 14. • Owners accept responsibility for the actions of their dogs.

At that time, the greenbelts in the City of Palos Verdes Estates were well established. The trail easements in the City of Rolling Hills were dedicated and many trails on them had been graded. The City of Rolling Hills Estates was incorporated while The Plan was being written so the dedication of the first mile of trail was easily recorded. What is now the City of Rancho Palos Verdes was essentially undeveloped. There were trails, fire roads and farming access roads all over The Hill. Preserving a perimeter trail was a good idea. Unfortunately, the County forgot about it. Fortunately, the County was reminded and tunnels were included with the construction of Crenshaw and Hawthorne Boulevards. Then, it was forgotten, again. It was rediscovered in 1984. Private citizens did the leg work. A 100% possible and 85% currently "pathway in use" IDEAL ROUTE was documented and presented to each of our four cities. The Palos Verdes Loop Trail Project coalesced. MISSION STATEMENT The ongoing purpose of The Project is to create, maintain and legally preserve public access to an approximately 26 mile long continuous loop of unpaved pathway around the Palos Verdes - Peninsula for non -motorized recreational us RECEIVED FROM )dL1L'11 I LLL AND MADE A PART OF THE EIEC RD AT TH COUNCIL MEETING OF -3 OFFICE OF THE CITY CLERK CARLA MORREALE. CITY CLERK --F� fY I ` i <% SO YOU MIGHT LIKE TO ADOPT A SEGMENT OF THE PALOS VERDES LOOP TRAIL... The goal of the Project is to create, maintain and legally preserve a 26 -mile -long unpaved pathway around the Peninsula for non -motorized recreational use. It is unrealistic to expect to provide for emergency vehicles, horse drawn carriages and wheelchair users all the way around. However, if we can link together our parks and open spaces for hikers and little wild critters, maybe, just maybe, other types of trail users will get to enjoy more and more of the Peninsula's trail network. Approx. 26 miles divided into 100 Segments makes each Segment approx. one-quarter mile in length. Every Segment Adopter is expected to monitor the condition of their Segment, coordinate the continuity with the Segment Adopters at each end and develop a friendly relationship with the owners of the property that the trail crosses. Segments are "complete", need physical improvements, need legal dedication or need both physical improvements and legal dedication for trail use. Above and beyond the basic monitoring, we need money for signs, labor for trail improvements and attention to political opportunities. Each Segment is unique so each Adoption Commitment is taylored to suit the circumstances. Please complete and mail in the attached QUESTIONS FOR PROSPECTIVE SEGMENT ADOPTERS. Your answers will be the basis for a discussion which may lead to a match between you and an available Segment which needs the care that you are willing to give. Even if we can't make a match immediately, you will be invited to help other Segment Adopters' efforts and will receive occasional updates from the Project. Our secondary goal is to provide and maintain identification signage and kudos to the people who have supported this dream. Take a short walk and check out our sample signs on each side of the Crenshaw tunnel. (Segment #100/1, park at RHE City Hall and walk through Chandler Park to the northeast corner of the park. Segment #1/2, park at the north end of Branding Iron Lane and walk north to the trail and look east.) (Bring a few baby wipes, the signs always need cleaning.) Walk from one sign to the other through the tunnel to get an idea of how long a Segment can be. Congratulations for discovering that there are trails in Palos Verdes and thank you for considering doing a little more than just use them. WAN 13 HS 3'- � • / �47.-Oo n.

Various solutions have been considered including the trails oriented Goals in the Transportation Element in the General Plan and the adoption of a Conceptual Trails Plan (CTP). Historic trails were still being lost. On 11/06/1991 the RPV City Council adopted Amendment 22 to the General Plan in an effort to make it more clear which Department was responsible for preserving and making an effort to improve which sort of trails based on the legal status of the public's access. Staff is still destroying historically used trail connections. Simply acquiring a trail easement without designing, funding and constructing the revised trail tread in a timely fashion increases the liability of the City at large and reduces the public's access to emergency and recreational circulation. In the case of 10 Chaparral (CASE NO. ZON2010-00025), Staff is recommending another easement acquisition and trail connection obliteration. This is not the Applicant's fault. City Council should not have to delay this application, again, in order for Staff to come up with both a more immediate and a more permanent solution. In the RPV General Plan, the "concept" (figure 22) is to preserve the trail connection through the Bronco neighborhood to both Rolling Hills Estates and Rolling Hills. The existing trails cross 10 Chaparral. The RPV CTP indicates that 0 D Section Five, Trail F2, Bronco Trail is to meet the Pedestrian/equestrian ° 0 0 "Intermediate" standard and "The exact route is to be designed prior to easement 0 F o m solicitation." (Emphasis added.) Staff's current recommendation does not do m D that. Too steep. The RPV Open Space Planning and Rec.& Parks Task Force m � �0,0 proposed a Trails Development/ Maintenance Criteria. Staff has not yet ° � 0 produced an analysis of this design specification tool. c� = 0 0 0 It is our position that the City of Rancho Palos Verdes should avail themselves of m all the professional and volunteer skills needed to design, negotiate the public y, access and arrange to construct a TYPE 5 trail corridor between the south end of the Stein -Hale Trail in RHE to the south end of Bronco Road prior to approving this GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENT, ZONE CHANGE, ENVIRONMENTAL M ASSESSMENT, HEIGHT VARIATION & GRADING PERMIT. There is an abundance of "nexus".

State and local governments use a wide variety of banking services for the deposits, disbursement, and safekeeping of public funds. Prudent procurement practices require the reevaluation of banking services on a periodic basis. In addition, continual changes in technology, treasury management practices, and banking industry structure offer public funds managers opportunities to reevaluate banking services and costs. Recommendation. The Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) recommends that state and local governments establish a procurement process and assure periodic reviews of banking services. Adhering to a defined due diligence in selecting banking services and establishing proper controls will help a government achieve its objectives of appropriate and cost-effective banking services while protecting its funds and reducing risk to its reputation. Governments should consider including the following practices in their procurement of banking services: 1. Periodically initiate a process of competitive procurement in accordance with the state and local laws and regulations, for major banking services. The process should use a request for proposals (RFP) that should include services, fees, earnings credit rates, and availability schedules for deposited funds. In addition, it is important to utilize independent bank evaluation services to verify creditworthiness of the financial institution prior to award of a contract and throughout the contract period. 2. Have contracts for banking services that specify services, fees, and other components of compensation. If applicable, this should include tri -party depository contracts that require that the custodian complies with collateral requirements. 3. Identify a primary relationship manager who will serve as a central point of contact, understand the needs of the entity and be able to offer recommendations for service improvements. 4. Evaluate the relative benefits and costs of paying for services through direct fees, compensating balances, or a combination of the two (blended). Factors to consider in this evaluation are the earnings credit rate, reserve requirements and insurance fees on deposits. 5. Evaluate the government's needs in comparison to the costs and benefits of specific banking services, including: Electronic balance and transaction -reporting services (image access and usage) • stop payments • payment capabilities • deposit capabilities • transmitted analysis and statements MADE APART OF THE E ORD AT THE VCIL MEETING OF OFFICE OF THE CITY CLERK CARLA MORREALE, CITY CLERK rn� http://www.gfoa.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1651 2/13/2012 GFOA of the US & Canada - Procurement of Banking Services (1997, 2004, 2005, and 2...

A treasury management review and comprehensive evaluation should be performed prior to the issuance of an RFP to ensure that the treasury manager asked for all required and optional banking services. Consider using a Request for Information (RFI) or meeting with several banks in advance of the RFP process to determine if there are any products/seryices available that your jurisdiction would be interested in adding. This preliminary work is necessary periodically to take advantage of changes in banking services and technology as new services become available. In the event that these services are procured through the use of a request for proposal, the request for proposal and the vendor response should be included as part of the contract.

We are concerned that the city of RPV uses Bank of America. We consider big banks like B of A a threat to our nation's financial system and therefore to all of us. Before the 2008 financial crash Bank of America and other big banks engaged in what has been found by numerous courts to be widespread fraud. These banks in effect took huge risks and became gambling houses. They have not been held accountable. Necessary regulations to prevent a repeat of the 2008 meltdown have not been implemented. Therefore it is only prudent that all of us avoid doing business with banks that continue to present a high risk to our financial system and perhaps to us and our city as well. We respectfully request that the city of RPV move the city's money to a smaller, safer bank. We are in the process of gathering signatures from RPV residents to urge the city to do so. You may sign the petition at our table at the Sunday farmers market in RHE or at our website: _ www.occug�/pv.comule.com/petition.php FCOUNCIL M ART OF THE C RD AT THE TING OF - 2 L, 2- E OF THE CITY CLERK ORREALE, CITY CLERK From: A Marinovich [amarinovich@verizon.net] Sent: Tuesday, March 06, 2012 4:43 PM To: cc@rpv.com Subject: Goals and Priorities for 2012 In response to an article in todays Daily Breeze, I offer the following recommendation for the City's financial stabilization: . Revise the City's Tree Trimming and Removal Ordinance (Chapter 12.08). . Replace the current tree trimming contractor. A more proactive approach to tree trimming will result in significant savings to the City as follows: 1. Reduced litigation costs. 2. Reduced staff costs by eliminating some of the Review Restoration positions. 3. Reduced costs of replacing and repairing streets, sidewalks, curbs and storm drains. A more proactive approach would also provide a service to the City's residents and taxpayers that does not currently exist. Summary Public Works Department believes that the City's Tree Trimming, Planting and Removal Policy and Guidelines do not allow for trimming the tops of trees. The tree trimming company only trims lower tree branches and the sides of trees to accommodate UPS trucks. The tree trimming practices result in ugly -looking trees with intrusive roots that damage sidewalks, streets, curbs and storm drains. When trees are properly maintained, the roots will remain more manageable. Properly maintained trees may result in fewer lawsuits, etc. as a result of slips and falls because of uneven pavement. Maintenance of the trees will result in fewer View Restoration applications and better service to the residents of Rancho Palos Verdes. Recently, when we asked Public Works to trim the tops of trees to keep them from moving into our viewing area, we were told that we needed to take the issue up with View Restoration. The trees are not in our viewing area yet, but will be in the next couple of years if not maintained. Residents shouldn't have to pay exorbitant fees for review restoration because the trees are not properly maintained. In addition, View Restoration efforts can cause discord among neighbors that result in costly lawsuits. I also recommend that the City consider revising the ordinance to require residents to maintain their trees at a certain level if they live in an area with views of City light, landmarks, ocean, etc. This action would reduce the need for view restoration applications; thereby, reducing staff costs. The City hired the tree trimming company that provided the lowest bid; however, a recent conversation with the owner of the company revealed that they may not be the most knowledgeable arborists. He is reluctant to trim the tops of trees for fear that they will die. City residents would benefit from a more knowledgeable tree trimming company even if it costs a little more money. The City may be overpaying the current company for the work performed. Please feel free to contact me for additional information.

I have read scores of financial statements and have reviewed countless settlement statements and other financial reports. I have never seen a received deposit be entered as a debit nor a disbursement entered as a credit. This is not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principals. You have it backwards.

This is about as basic as accounting can get. Can someone please explain the manner in which our finances are being reported, which defies all known accounting rules? Are the numbers simply being entered in the wrong columns or what? I look forward to a response before Tuesday's meeting. Thank you. Sharon Yarber 3/6/2012 Y #1. EXHIBIT THIS IS CREST ROAD, LOOKING EAST TOWARD CRENSHAW BLVD. THE WHITLEY COLLINS ENTRYWAY TO MESA IS ON THE LEFT. THE EMERGENCY ENTRYWAY TO ISLAND VIEW AND THE DAYCARE CENTER ARE ON THE RIGHT. THE ENTRYWAY TO ISLAND VIEW IS CLOSED OFF WITH A CRASH GATE. THE BOTTOM PICTURE, AT THE SAME LOCATION, IS LOOKING WEST TOWARD HIGHRIDGE RD. THIS INTERSECTION IS LOCATED A QUARTER MILE FROM CRENSHAW BLVD. AND 3/10 OF A MILE FROM HIGHRIDGE RD. THE CREST ROAD RIGHT OF WAY IS 100 FT. WIDE. THE DISTANCE BETWEEN THE TWO CURBS IS 80 FT. TO GET AN IDEA OF WHAT 80 FT. LOOKS LIKE, 1 MEASURED THIS ROOM. IT IS 50 FT. FROM FRONT TO BACK AND 30 FT. ACROSS FROM SIDE WALL TO SIDE WALL. SO, IF YOU TAKE THE LENGTH OF THE ROOM AND ADD THE WIDTH YOU HAVE 80 FT. THERE IS A 6 FT. BIKE PATH AND A 12 FT. AND A 13 FT. TRAVEL LANE ON EACH SIDE WITH AN 18 FT. MEDIAN. THE MEDIAN HAS A 10 FT. WIDE LEFT TURN LANE TO EACH SIDE AT THIS LOCATION. 1. 4 #5. EXHIBIT THIS IS A MAP OF MESA PV THAT INCLUDES 423 HOMES AND THE RIDGECREST INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL. WHITLEY COLLINS IS THE COLLECTOR STREET THAT CHANNELS THE TRAFFIC FROM THE INTERNAL RESIDENTIAL STREETS OUT TO CREST RD. AND HIGHRIDGE RD., SCOTWOOD IS KIND OF A BACK DOOR EXIT THAT ALSO TAKES TRAFFIC OUT TO HIGHRIDGE RD. THE SCHOOL WAS LOCATED IN THE NORTH- WEST CORNER OF THE DEVELOPMENT IN ORDER TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO THE SCHOOL FROM HIGHRIDGE RD. FOR THE STUDENTS THAT LIVE OUTSIDE OF MESA. IT IS EXACTLY ONE HALF MILE FROM THIS CORNER ON CREST RD. TO THE FRONT DOOR OF THE SCHOOL. 1 BELIEVE THIS DISTANCE WOULD TAKE A CROSSING AT THIS LOCATION OUT OF THE JURISDICTION OF BEING A DESIGNATED SCHOOL CROSSING. THE NUMBERED CROSS -HATCHED AREAS ARE THE 10 ZONES OF THE MESA HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION. EACH ZONE HAS AN ELECTED z. DIRECTOR. THE 4 OFFICERS AND THE 10 ZONE DIRECTORS MAKE UP THE GOVERNING BODY OF THE MESA HOA. (BACK TO #1. EXHIBIT) THE LOCATION WHERE WHITLEY COLLINS ENTERS CREST RD. IS BY DEFINITION AN INTERSECTION. HOWEVER, THE TRAFFIC AT THIS LOCATION HAS MORE OF THE CHARACTERISTICS OF A MID -BLOCK LOCATION THAN THAT OF A STANDARD 4 -LEGGED INTERSECTION; THE MAIN REASON BEING THAT TRAFFIC AT A 4 -WAY CONTROLLED INTERSECTION IS STOPPED, WHEREAS AT A MID -BLOCK LOCATION, TRAFFIC IS MOVING. THE TRAFFIC ON CREST ROAD AT WHITLEY COLLINS IS UNCONTROLLED AND IS MOVING AT A VERY HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THERE HAVE BEEN ANY NUMBER OF TRAFFIC STUDIES TAKEN AT THIS LOCATION TO DETERMINE IF STOP SIGNS WERE WARRANTED. WITH THE AVERAGE DAILY TRAFFIC ON CREST RD. BEING OVER 13,000 VEHICLES AND THE IN - AND -OUT MESA TRAFFIC ON WHITLEY COLLINS 3, AVERAGING 2,000 VEHICLES A DAY, AND WITH VERY LITTLE TRAFFIC BEING GENERATED BY THE DAYCARE CENTER, IT HAS BEEN DETERMINED, EACH TIME, THAT THE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS AT THIS INTERSECTION DO NOT MEET THE WARRANTS REQUIRED FOR STOP SIGNS BEING PLACED AT THIS LOCATION; MEANING SIMPLY, THAT IF STOP SIGNS WERE TO BE INSTALLED AT THIS LOCATION, THERE WOULD BE A GREATER RISK OF TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS OCCURING HERE THAN THERE WOULD BE WITH CONDITIONS REMAINING AS THEY CURRENTLY EXIST. THIS DOES NOT MEAN THERE IS NO TRAFFIC PROBLEM AT THIS LOCATION, BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME VERY SERIOUS, ONES AS YOU WILL SEE. SINCE THE TRAFFIC CHARACTERISTICS AT THIS INTERSECTION MORE CLOSELY RESEMBLE THOSE OF A MID -BLOCK LOCATION THAN 4 LEGS BEING CONTROLED, I FEEL THAT WARRANTS FOR MID -BLOCK CROSSWALKS SHOULD BE USED IN DETERMINING THE VALIDITY OF A MARKED CROSSWALK AT THIS LOCATION. THE REASONING IS SIMPLY THIS: TO BEGIN WITH, THE APPROACH SPEED ON CREST RD. IS IN EXCESS OF 45 MILES PER HOUR. AT THAT SPEED, A VEHICLE WOULD NEED OVER 400 FT. OF SIGHT DISTANCE TO STOP SHOULD A PEDESTRIAN STEP OUT INTO TRAFFIC. THE SCHOOL PEDESTRIAN VOLUME DOES NOT MEET THE WARRANTS DURING PEAK HOURS. THE PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC COUNT TAKEN TWO YEARS AGO SHOWED TWO PEDESTRIANS CROSSING FROM THE ISLAND VIEW SIDE OVER TO THE MESA SIDE FROM 7:00 AM TO 8:00 AM; HOWEVER, AT THE SAME TIME, 11 PEDESTRIANS CROSSING IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION. I SUSPECT THEY WERE OLDER PEOPLE CROSSING TO TAKE THEIR MORNING WALK ON THE ISLAND VIEW MEANDERING TRAIL. THE TWO MORNINGS THAT 1 WAS AT THIS LOCATION DURING THIS SAME TIME PERIOD, THERE WERE NO PEDESTRIANS CROSSING EITHER WAY. THERE HAS TO BE AT LEAST 10 KIDS CROSSING DURING THIS TIME TO MEET THE WARRANTS. GAPS IN THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC AT THIS HOUR ARE FEW AND FAR BETWEEN. THIS COULD MEAN THAT PLACING A MARKED CROSSWALK WITH A PEDESTRIAN -ACTIVATED FLASHING YELLOW LIGHT AT CREST RD. AND WHITLEY COLLINS DR. COULD INCREASE THE POTENTIAL RISK OF PEDESTRIAN INJURIES OVER WHAT MIGHT OCCUR WITH THE EXISTING UNMARKED CROSSWALK AT THIS LOCATION. THE RISK OF LULLING BOTH PEDESTRIANS AND DRIVERS INTO A FALSE SENCE OF SECURITY IN THE BELIEF THAT A MOTORIST CAN AND WILL STOP IN ALL CASES EVEN WHEN IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DO SO. #2. EXHIBIT THESE PHOTOS WERE TAKEN AT 7:30 AM ON A SCHOOLDAY MORNING. THEY PRETTY MUCH SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. SCHOOL TRAFFIC STACKS UP IN THE LEFT TURN LANE WAITING FOR A GAP IN THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THE TURN ONTO WHITLEY COLLINS. VISUALIZE A MARKED CROSSWALK RIGHT AT THIS LOCATION TO FURTHER COMPLICATE MATTERS. MESA ?4 a BLOCKED BY THE SCHOOL TRAFFIC TRYING TO GET OUT ON CREST TO GET OVER TO CRENSHAW AND DOWN THE HILL TO WORK. #3. EXHIBIT SAME TIME THE FOLLOWING DAY FROM THE SOUTH SIDE OF CREST. A REPEAT PERFORMANCE OF THE PREVIOUS DAY SINCE IT'S THE SAME TRAFFIC. THE SAME MORNING. THE CLOSE CALL IS PRETTY NORMAL. THE CAR AT THE HEAD OF THE LINE IS UNDER PRESSURE TO MOVE ON OUT. HOWEVER, THE CONFLICT IS USUALLY WITH THE EASTBOUND TRAFFIC. THEY CAN FIND A GAP IN THE TRAFFIC COMING FROM THE EAST BUT COORDINATING IT WITH A GAP *', TRAVELING IN THE OPPOSITE, OR EASTERLY DIRECTION, ISN'T ALL THAT EASY. I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THE COUNCIL TO CONTINUE THE MATTER OF A MARKED CROSSWALK AT CREST AND WHITLEY COLLINS UNTIL SUCH TIME AS SUFFICIENT DATA IS COMPILED TO INSURE ALL WARRANTS ARE MET AND THAT IT IS SAFE TO MAKE THE INSTALLATION. 3/6/12 RAY MATHYS (310)377-3713 / MATHYSRW a@AOL.COM A From: L.

Actually, trails provide emergency off-road circulation. This is much more than an "enhancement" issue. This is a necessary infrastructure issue for our city of RPV. Since what you have been asked about seems limited to those areas under the supervision of the PVP Land Conservancy, that ignores the rest of the City's Trails Network. I am appalled! How did this happen? Don't you want to seethe emergency off-road circulation element completed and maintained? This is a crucial safety issue to the entire Palos Verdes Peninsula when a disaster such as a large earthquake makes the roadways impassible. We need trails as part of the infrastructure priorities for safety, not just for recreation. Please include. I am also awaiting improvements on the neglected portion of Lower Pt. Vicente Parkland (LPV) for "passive" recreation as well as for segments of the Trails Network, whether as an item in the Goals and Priorities or as City Policy. As you are aware, the City agreed to make improvements when the City signed the contract accepting ownership of the property (for free) thru the federal "Lands to Parks Program" . Therefore improvement of Lower Pt. Vicente is already a City Goal/Policy. As such, I ask that you please direct the staff accordingly. (The goats were helpful on a limited portion of LPV.) You cannot keep relegating the LPV contractual agreement to a future time, putting it on a back burner. The State Office of Grants and Services is monitoring our parkland for the National Park Service. I'm sure nobody wants to risk reversion of the property. There are many volunteer groups able, ready and willing to work on Lower Pt. Vicente to provide greater public access trails and amenities on the site. With some clearance/trimming of invasive and overgrown vegetation by the Public Works Dept., the neglected area could be enhanced by volunteer efforts which would minimize cost to the city. I ask that you include these items in your immediate plans for RPV. Thank you for all you do for RPV!

PROVI DING YOU CHANGE THE TITLE TO, "FOCUS ON CRIME PREVENTION & TRAFFIC SAFETY." AFTER ALL, SAFETY IS THE KEY ROLE OF OUR CITY GOV'T ! REASONS FOR MAKING THIS VITAL CHANGE ARE..... 1.E FFECTIVE TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT & SAFETY HAS DRAMATICALLY DETERIORATED IN THE PAST 1-2 YEARS! From adequate staffing of one RPV Dedicated Traffic Enforcement Deputy plus 3 Shared Deputies, our city now employs only 2 Shared Deputies! Originally, RPV received 112 hours of enforcement per week. Currently, RPV receives only 48 hours (42%) of original coverage. Note: When/if motorcycle deputy is replaced, Hourly coverage will still equal only 64%.

Our City Manager is not running for President. She is not in a position to ask you which previous Council directives you would prefer that she ignore. She is not in a position to ask you which State and Federal laws you would prefer that she ignore. I don't want to know how many tax payer dollars were spent on getting you to stick colored dots onto some chart. What is absurd is the options you were given. You get to establish her priorities for implementing the City's General Plan, Coastal Specific Plan, Roadways Master Plan, Parks Master Plan and Trails Network Plan by approving a detailed Budget. OMG. "Citywide Street Maintenance" was omitted in error on your worksheet. Do you suppose that means we will have no more of that? You are being asked to cut down your list from 13 to 8. What I see is "fuzzy" words. The City Manager asking the Council for a more detailed description of each priority is like asking one's Mother if it would be better to "focus", "improve", "consider", "enhance", "provide full transparency", forge", "share", "increase" or "evaluate" one's morning visit to the toilet. Certain things are expected to be done. As if the whole exercise is not disturbing enough, I did notice one very deceiving item on the Project/Task list that made it to the Top 13... See 3/6/2012 VA"i"hil OR Eld the bottom of page 1 of 5 of the matrix and page 4A-4 in the Staff Report. Trail System Enhancement / REC / In coordination with the Land Conservancy / 9. Apparently preserving existing emergency off road circulation outside of the Land Conservancy's purview is something that Council needs to remind Staff about. Now is your chance.

In the interest of perhaps saving you some time, I'd like to include here a draft of what I plan to talk about. I believe you have been sent some pictures and summary of the chaotic weekend at RPV Beach. Please don't expose RPV residents and taxpayers to liability claims in the event of a major problem at RPV Beach. Thank you My name is Gary Randall, I live in Ladera Linda and have been a resident of RPV for 40 years. Last week, as we know, the City Council discussed uses at RPV Beach below Trump Golf Course. A motion was passed which I believe directed the Planning Commission to perform various studies, including environmental analysis and rules and regulations, leading up to a pilot dog beach program to be kicked off in the October timeframe. While I am opposed to designating this beach as a dog beach for many reasons, as an RPV taxpayer I have a great concern that I do not think was adequately addressed at the City Council meeting two weeks ago. During the discussion, the subject of liability was brought up. I could be mistaken, but I believe the input from the city attorney was that, as long as specific rules and regulations regarding dogs were clearly posted, there would be little to no risk of liability to the City for the actions of a dog. That responsibility and liability would fall upon the dog owner. My specific immediate concern is as follows. The city has not changed City Ordinance 6.04.050, which currently prohibits dogs from all city beaches. There are absolutely no signs posted at this location that cite this ordinance. I sincerely hope this does not happen, but if someone were attacked and bitten (or worse) by a dog on this beach over the next few months, I am worried that the City will find itself in a lawsuit. I am not an attorney, but I would imagine the plaintiffs would argue that the City was well aware of dog usage at this beach and did nothing to educate visitors about current rules and laws, let alone enforce them. Whether they would be successful in their arguments, I have no idea. But it seems like a plausible approach. I would like to ask that the Council members discuss this with the City Attorney to determine if my concerns have legal foundation. If in fact they do, then as a tax paying resident, I implore the City to act immediately to mitigate exposure to this 3/5/2012 a /'vg�rG GSM liability. I believe the most immediate action the city can take is to simply post signs with the current law. This requires no changes to existing ordinances or rules. If, during the course of the studies for the pilot dog beach program, the Council decides that City Ordinance 6.04.050 should be modified and various rules for a dog beach adopted, with appropriate opportunity for local input via public hearings, then the signs can be changed at that time. I have purposely made my comments less than 3 minutes in the hopes that you might use the remaining time to discuss this important matter with the City Attorney. Thank you for your consideration. 3/5/2012 e From: Ron Dragoo [rond@rpv.com] Sent: Monday, March 05, 2012 2:02 PM To: Bjhilde@aol.com Cc: cc@rpv.com; 'Carolyn Lehr'; 'Tom Odom' Subject: RE: Item "A" on Consent Calendar 3/6/12 Mr. Hildebrand, The repairs to the pump station are funded through the Abalone Cove Sewer Maintenance District which was established to provide a means to maintain the private sewer system which serves many homes in the Portuguese Bend community. Item A on the March 6, 2012 City Council Agenda asks the City Council to "Review and reconfirm by four/fifths (4/5) vote, the City Council's previous action taken on February 21, 2012, authorizing staff to continue with the actions taken to perform emergency repairs to the Abalone Cove Sewer Pump Station located within the Abalone Cove Shoreline Park." The pump station the City is working on is located on the south side of PVDS at the Abalone Cove Beach parking lot, it is maintained by the City and not part of the Sanitation District which operates a much larger pump station on the north side of the roadway in the same general area. The pump station at Abalone Cove is not in a condition of imminent failure — it has failed. Our maintenance contractor was able to resurrect one of the two pumps, which is currently operating. I am attaching a link below, to the February 21, 2012 Staff Report which explains the ongoing maintenance problems and the emergency nature of the project. httr)://www.palosverdes.com/rpv/citycouncil/agendas/2012 Agendas/MeetingDate-2012-02- 21/RPVCCA CC SR 2012 02 21 L Abalone Cove Sewer Pump Station Reoairs.pdf It is important to note that last year Staff requested the last Council approve one emergency item which exempted normal bid procedures. This was the storm drain repair in Portuguese Bend south of PVDSouth. When a situation arises that requires immediate action and waiting to develop the required bidding documents (plans specifications and estimates) is not feasible, to protect its citizens, the City Council can declare that an emergency exists to expedite repairs. This is what was required with regard to the recent sewer problem. Again I would like to reassure you that funds being used for the repairs have been set aside through a special maintenance district and the ongoing maintenance issues and failure of the pump station triggered the emergency project. If you have additional questions feel free to contact me at the number below. Best regards, Ron Dragoo, P.E.

I can definitely understand the need for rapid action if the station is in a condition of imminent failure, but these kind of problems do not normally escalate to that point if someone is paying attention to the machinery's condition. It appears to me that too many public works problems fall into 3/5/2012 A. the "emergency" category thereby bypassing the normal bid procedures that prudent businesses operate under. In addition, according to my property tax bill, the LA County Sanitation District is responsible for the maintenance of sewer lines in RPV; this pumping station feeds the S/D main lines that follow PVDS to the White's Point pumping station and thus belongs to S/D as far as maintenance goes. As an aside, I recently received a brochure in the mail from the S/D which touted how many miles of sewer lines it maintains, etc. (for the taxes that I pay) and I can attest that they do. Normally I would consider that to be government hype, but approximately once every two years the County crew is out in front of my home with a manhole cover removed and flushing out the sewer line, so I know they're for real. In addition, whenever the PB landslide moves a bit, the county has a crew there installing lengthening sections of pipe into the afore -mentioned above -ground sewer lines. SO, why is RPV (i.e. me and other citizens) paying for any maintenance of the pumping station????? and (worse) without obtaining competing bids.

The RPV Emergency Preparedness (EP) Committee Chair briefed our CHOA members meeting that your City EP program focuses only on sustaining government emergency operations. Neither your constituents or community is limited to RPV civil servants and emergency responders. RPV geography & demographics ensure that minor children and seniors constitute a majority of probable casualties in major regional earthquakes &/or wild fires. What action will RPVCC take to reset goals and priorities to improve this demonstrated lack of concern for our citizens? What public-private partnerships can be developed which would provide whole community resiliency during any major regional disaster? What RPV City contracts include emergency priority clauses providing essential goods, materials and services to our community in the event of regional disasters. It is repeatedly stated that citizens must be prepared for up to 72 hours without emergency or utility services. What is RPV CC doing to enable this activity? In my opinion small contract cities are adversely impacted as LAFD & SD reduce forces resulting in State & Federal officials, without local knowledge or experience, taking charge during regional emergencies. RPV and Federal officials, demonstrating a one size fits all emergency response program, do not consider our unique locality; e.g. PVP children & seniors can not evacuate by land in major regional disasters.

Respectfully Yours, Bob and Donna Lauck 3/5/2012 From: Tom Redfield [tmredfield@cox.net] Sent: Sunday, March 04, 2012 12:44 PM To: cc@rpv.com Cc: clehr@rpv.com; carolynnp@rpv.com; 'Tom Odom'; nicolej@rpv.com Subject: RE: CITY COUNCIL GOALS & PROCEDURES... CITY COUNCIL MEETING ON MARCH 6, 2012 TO: RPV CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS: RE: GOAL #1. FOCUS ON CRIME PREVENTION Our recent participation in last week's TRAFFIC & SAFETY COMMISSION MEETING... made it extremely clear that we must approach our Council Members immediately, as you plan to discuss our city's goals and priorities on Tuesday evening. At the very beginning of the T & S C. meeting, David Kramer, Chair, directed specific questions to Sgt. Tony Blanchard, Lomita Sheriff Dept's leader of our city's traffic and safety deputies, concerning the status of Traffic & Safety Enforcement in our city ... whether the Sheriff Dept. has adequate resources to enable them to achieve their goals... whether they are fully staffed at present. His reply was of great concern to us ... and should be of vital concern to our city council. The Sgt. replied... I paraphrase..." The Sheriff Dept. does not have the resources to deliver our key assigned traffic and safety goals... in fact, are currently understaffed vs. our approved manpower." He went on to explain that, " In add. to losing our previous authorized Dedicated Traffic Enforcement Deputy, the dept, is currently down one Shared Deputy... the motorcycle deputy .... and, it may be months before that position is filled." During my three minutes under Public Comments at the meeting, I pointed out to the commission members and staff that THE PRIMARY REASON FOR THE EXISTENCE OF THE T & S COMMISSION IS TO ENSURE THAT TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT AND SAFETY IS ACHIEVED... THAT THE PRIMARY REASON OF CITY GOVT IS TO TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF ALL OUR RESIDENTS! I THEN RECOMMENDED THAT THE COMMISSION IMMEDIATELY CONSIDER TWO STEPS...1) AGENDIZING THIS MOST SERIOUS ISSUE AND 2) FORMALLY NOTIFYING THE CITY COUNCIL THAT THE COMMISSION/CITY/SHERIFF DEPT. LACKS SUFFICIENT FUNDING TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF OUR RESIDENTS WHILE DRIVING OUR STREETS. Next, I must make it clear that none of the many city residents that I have spoken to, have any quarrel with our council taking appropriate steps to deal with the increases in several crime categories during 2011 ... we certainly want to curtail any negative trends ASAP. WE DO HOWEVER STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT THE COUNCIL BROADEN YOUR #1 GOAL OF JUST FOCUSING ON CRIME PREVENTION. WE RECOMMEND THAT THE GOAL SHOULD STATE, " FOCUSING ON THE SAFETY OF OUR RESIDENTS... BOTH CRIME PREVENTION & TRAFFIC & SAFETY ENHANCEMENT." The logic for this is: 1) The Attorney General of Calif. has clearly stated, " THAT THE DEATHS/INJURIES/ECONOMIC COSTS INCURRED IN OUR STATE EXCEED THE TOTAL COST OF ALL CRIME FIGHTING ACTIVITIES COMBINED!" 2) While our city of RPV remains quite safe vs. surrounding cities in crimes, there has been a dramatic deterioration of traffic safety and enforcement in our city. It has been recognized that speeding in particular is out -of -control since July 1, 2011 ... the date when the Dedicated Traffic Enforcement Deputy was eliminated by the previous city council. We have had more than 8 months of experience that proves, once again, that RPV has never been, and continues to be, well served by the Shared Deputy concept. Sgt. Blanchard has confirmed the value of having a Dedicated Traffic & Enforcement Deputy. RECOMMENDATIONS... - INCREASE BUDGET 2012 FUNDING TO INCLUDE THE REINSTATEMENT OF OUR RPV DEDICATED TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT DEPUTY. - BROADEN GOAL #1 TO FOCUS ON BOTH TRAFFIC & SAFETY ENFORCEMENT AND CRIME PREVENTION. OVERALL SAFETY OF OUR RESIDENTS IS ALWAYS THE PRIMARY ROLE OF GOVT. - ENSURE THE T & S COMMISSION IS ADEQUATELY RESOURCED TO ACHIEVE THEIR KEY ROLES.

As in, done and pretty much irreversible. Now is the time to get back to addressing the rest of the City's infrastructure and amenities like stream beds, parks and emergency circulatui/trails.

TO Carolynn Petru, senior most Staff Member supporting the RPV OSP, R&P Task Force. RE: The motion on the table. The Open Space Subcommittee approved a motion, provided Staff with a hard copy version of the specific language and it is in the May 12, 2004, Minutes that Staff was directed to provide an analysis of said motion prior to the June 29 workshop with City Council. The analysis has not been done. Before the deadline for input to be provided for inclusion in the packet for said workshop, the Open Space Subcommittee also provided Staff with a sample document of how the Trails Network Plan would appear if all of the policy suggestions in the motion were approved. Said document was not given to Council. Language in the Conceptual Trails Plan has been added to the General Plan. The Open Space Subcommittee recommended changes to the language in the text of the General Plan as opposed to the Goals and Policies. They were never addressed by the Task force nor were they forwarded to the General Plan Update Steering Committee. 3/5/2012 The General Plan Update Steering Committee has referred the matter back to their Subcommittees. In Matt Waters' absence, the Open Space Subcommittee's submittal can't be found. The General Plan Update Steering Committee would like to make an end. The OSP, R&P Task Force has been nicely thanked. However, I for one have not received any specific notice that I have been relieved of my obligations under the Brown Act. At the risk of being reprimanded, again, I am copying everyone and hoping that someone is in a position to arrange for us to take care of our unfinished business and make a clean end, too. 3/5/2012 From: lindorfer [lindorfer1@cox.net] Sent: Saturday, March 03, 2012 4:31 PM To: cc@rpv.com Cc: carolynn@rpv.com; clehr@rpv.com Subject: City Council Goals and Priorities I frequently stop at Lower Point Vicente during my bike rides. It is pretty clear that the number of visitors to this fantastic location is on the rise, and placing heavier demand on the existing infrastructure. So as my input to the upcoming CC Agenda item of Goals and Priorities infrastructure project/task "Increase Citizen Involvement in Infrastructure Goal -Setting & Planning", I urge the council to move forward on improving the neglected parkland, acreage at Lower Pt. Vicente for "passive recreation" as outlined in the Deed restrictions. The City agreed to make the improvements when the City signed the contract accepting ownership of the property (for free) through the federal "Lands to Parks Program". It is already a City Goal/Policy and I hope that you will move soon to fund this infrastructure improvement. You may also consider this improvement as part of the "Trail System Enhancement" recreation project/task and I hope that you will keep this task as a council priority. Maybe some funding RPV received for the California Coastal Trail can be used on Point Vicente acreage. Thank You, Joe Lindorfer 3/5/2012 From: Kathryn Downs [kathrynd@rpv.com] Sent: Saturday, March 03, 2012 9:04 AM To: cc@rpv.com Subject: Budget Meeting 1 Attachments: 20120306_City Council Worksheet.xls Honorable Mayor Misetich and Members of the City Council The attached General Fund expenditure summaries will help you wrap your arms around the City's operating budget; and provide you with some generalizations about the activities and programs that we must engage in (e.g. by law), and the activities that the City chooses to engage in. The categorizations are not perfect, as many expenditures have elements that fall into all 4 categories (non -discretionary, current service levels, revenue generation, and discretionary). You may not agree with Staffs categorizations, and that's okay. Their only purpose is to help improve your general understanding of the budget. Like every budget season, we have a limited amount of time and resources to prepare the FY12-13 budget with concurrent presentations before the Finance Advisory Committee, storm drain Oversight Committee and the Planning Commission. Please be prepared to offer your suggestions of expenditures that you prefer to be analyzed further during the Zero -Based Budgeting exercise. Please feel free to suggest any expenditure be added to the exercise, even if Staff has categorized it as non -discretionary, as those services can often be provided in a different manner. As requested, I have attached a spreadsheet that includes General Fund expenditures as presented in the summaries. We look forward to the discussion on March 6th. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments prior to the meeting.
