Jesse, Re: the action items listed below mentioning SCE: J SCE is always willing to discuss and review, however, SCE presently does not have an underground strategy for Edison lines in Rancho Palos Verdes. We have been and will continue to harden the above ground infrastructure. As you know, Rule 20 Tariffs identify the requirements for Undergrounding. Those are the requirements that have to be met, in addition, to not endangering the placement/safety of SCE facilities. Also, environmental impacts/sensitivities have to be considered by the city when reviewing the possibilities of doing its’ underground projects. In addition, the California Public Utilities Commission governs the authority of SCE to design its transmission & distribution system for reliability and safety of the power grid. Please let me know if I can answer any questions for you. Thanks.

My comments are purely my opinion and do not reflect the position of any entity or organization I may be involved with, and nothing in this message should be considered a commitment on behalf of those entities or organizations. A bit of background. I lead the volunteer trail crew for PVPLC. My experience covers 35 years of trail design, construction and maintenance on a national basis as a volunteer. I have been supporting RPV trails in various forms since 1992. Trail maintenance of any type, whether a responsibility of a government organization, privately or publicly held company, usually competes with budget and resource pressures that often result in a lower priority. Related to Trump National Golf Club the business is maintaining their primary revenue source. As a public amenity the recreational trails are an asset but are minimal contribution to their primary business. Maintenance staff at Trump National Golf Club may not always have the experience, labor or materials for timely and routine maintenance. As a result certain aspects of maintenance may have fallen behind. Recognizing the agreement between the City and Trump National Golf Club puts the burden of maintenance on Trump National Golf Club, I'd like to recommend a concept that may enhance the existing agreement. The concept would allow for the volunteer trail crew from PVPLC to provide labor and expertise for minimal to moderate maintenance of the trails. As needed, materials for certain projects would be a covered cost by Trump National Golf Club. Any project would be coordinated and approved by the three parties involved: RPV, PVPLC and Trump National Golf Club. The benefits of this arrangement provide available experienced labor, minimized labor and cost for Trump National Golf Club, and public trail amenities maintained in a regular fashion. Similar to the existing trail crew process in place today, a project would be submitted and the scope, tools and estimated material cost (if required) submitted. Also similar to the existing process the crew would operate under PVPLC auspices. As an option the City may utilize volunteers under their purview to perform maintenance, with guidance from experienced crew members. In general this is a workable plan that may involve an appropriate mechanism to augment the existing agreement. It is best if all involved agree, however this would require an initial dialog to define roles and responsibilities, including an approval process that allows projects to move forward. To that end I am more than happy to participate. This is only a concept recommendation and deserves the appropriate follow up if there is a desire to implement. I understand any changes to an agreement and putting in the appropriate structure to implement may require time and will not happen overnight. The volunteer trail crew has provided trail maintenance on the Preserves for over 12 years and has an ability to offset any labor or resource gaps affecting maintenance challenges atTcu mp Nafona I Golf Club ;fall Involved a re open to :he concept.

When I joined the board three years ago, it was because I believe that our quality of life is substantially enhanced when we have the ability to enjoy natural, open spaces. I wanted to be a part of an organization whose mission it is to protect those open spaces, and I believe that I found it in the Conservancy. My wife and I walk on trails managed by the Conservancy nearly every day. The joy that those daily walks bring to our life would be impossible to overstate. We are enormously grateful to live in a place that offers this opportunity. This action will be instrumental in ensuring that present and future generations will have the same opportunity to enjoy natural, open spaces. The City Council is to be commended for taking this action and as a board member I look forward to working with you as the process moves forward. Dave Pilon PVPLC Board of Directors 1 3.

My involvement with the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve dates back to the early 2000's when I was a member of the Finance Advisory Committee and was a member of the task force that coordinated the initial purchase of the Preserve. I hope you continue your support of this important expansion of the Preserve by approving the Memorandum of Understanding and eventual funding of the Lower Filiorum and Plumtree properties.

Dear Mayor Bradley and City Council Members, As a Peninsula resident, I'm grateful for the City of RPV's leadership in preserving and restoring open space. The 1400- acre Palos Verdes Nature Preserve holds the crown jewels of the Peninsula I I often enjoy quiet solitude in the Filiorum and Three Sisters Reserves and have been delighted to spot threatened species like the Coastal Cactus Wren and California Gnatcatcher in the preserves. I urge approval of the subject MOU. Doing so, and following thorough with the purchase of the subject parcels, will help fulfill the original vision for the Preserve by creating an important wildlife corridor between existing reserves.

I am writing to express my appreciation to the City of Rancho Palos Verdes for its action in purchasing the Lower Filiorum and Plumtree properties. My late husband's family has lived on the peninsula since 1975 and I have lived in Rolling Hills Estates since 7995. We raised our children to appreciate the unique beauty of the peninsula. They have grown to respect and value biodiversity and healthy ecosystems as integral to the well-being of the planet. The actions of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes in facilitating the establishment of a wildlife corridor between the preserves will protect endangered species, support the long term success of the preserves, and benefit generations of children far into the future.

The City's parks and preserves are highly valued-and contribute directly to residents' quality of life. The 96 acre parcel at issue will provide a vital link enhancing the quality of life for wildlife, as mandated by the NCCP (Natural Communities Conservation Plan), while preserving the expansive vistas so revered by both residents and visitors. As a long-time walk leader for the PVPLC, I've crisscrossed the nature preserves from the McBride Trail, to the Fire Station Trail, to Barkentine Rd. on the south. In fact, back in my high school days I lived on the north side of Tarragon Rd. (off Barkentine Rd.) and the land at issue was part of my extended back yard, where I spent many hours exploring and watching wildlife! So for over half a century I've had a special attachment to this land. Again, I urge you to proceed with this MOU and commit the City to joining forces with the PVPLC to preserve this vital wildlife corridor for present and future generations. 1 Sincerely, Allen Franz 2 From: Sent: To: Cc: Subject: Catzilla <carolynn.petru@gmail.com> Monday, April 4, 2022 7:37 PM cc CityClerk CC Agenda Item #3 -MOU with PVPLC Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Council - Please unanimously approve the Memorandum of Understanding with the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy as the first official step in the acquisition of the Lower Filiorum and Plumtree properties. What was once an ambitious dream to provide a critical wildlife corridor as part of the City's Natural Communities Conservation Plan is now within touching distance. We have a willing seller and funding from a wide array of sources to secure the last major piece of the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve. The positive impact this land acquisition and its subsequent restoration will have on the future of rare species like the Palos Verdes blue butterfly, cactus wren and California gnatcatcher simply cannot be overstated. It's not only a tremendous win for Nature, but for the entire community. This acquisition will permanently preserve an absolutely stunning vista of open hillsides from above and below, and restore a key hiking trail connection along the northern edge of the property. As others have so appropriately pointed out, this acquisition aligns with many of the reasons Rancho Palos Verdes fought so hard to incorporate five decades ago. As a former RPV staff member and a current PVPLC Board Member, I am thrilled to witness the culmination of nearly 35 years of effort. I want to express my sincere appreciation to the City Council and staff for considering another opportunity to partner with the PVP Land Conservancy. We have had many successful collaborations over the years, and this one has the potential to be the best one yet. So, here we are -the stars have finally aligned. Let's celebrate this moment and take that first big step together! Best regards, Carolynn Petru RPV Resident 1 3. From: Sent: To: Subject: Attachments: Please see the attached.

April 4, 2022 David Bradley, Mayor City Council Members Rancho Palos Verdes Re: City Council Agenda Item 3 - Memorandum of Understanding regarding purchase of Lower Filiorum and Plumtree properties Dear Mayor Bradley and Council Members: As a Board member of the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy for the last ten years and its current President, I want to express my appreciation for the City Council's time and consideration of the purchase of the Lower Filiorum and Plumtree properties. Our board of directors is in unanimous support of this collaboration which will create a Wildlife Corridor further connecting both habitat and trails in the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve, the benefits of which are well stated in the RPV Staff Report. This acquisition has attracted substantial funds from federal, state and county agencies. Notably, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service made this habitat acquisition one of its highest priorities with the largest funding of any project for the year in the nation. The connectivity created by this property will enable the critical mass of future restored habitat to ensure a healthy biodiversity in the Preserve. This is necessary to sustain the endangered species and the ecosystems that support them for the long term, with unknown importance for future scientific research. In continuing this historic effort of RPV and PVPLC over almost 35 years, we wholeheartedly support this addition to make a total of 1500 acres in the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve.

Protecting RPV land, especially on/around an active landslide is incredibly important! This issue addresses: safety, liability, traffic, environment, habitat and water use. There is no downside. Please do make this happen and protect RPV.

Nearly 20 years ago I was walking along dirt Crenshaw (the Burma Road) when a stranger on the path said that technically I was trespassing on private property, and that this area, with its magnificent views, would probably be built up and off-limits in the very near future. This encounter triggered my long time and on-going involvement in volunteering and working for the Land Conservancy, to help preserve the 1600 acres of Open Space on the Peninsula. The available land to add to Open Space is rapidly diminishing. The parcel to be acquired is an important missing piece of the puzzle that will join up the existing lands in the Portuguese Bend Reserve. Since 90% of the acquisition costs will be raised through the PVPLC's efforts, this makes it a highly leveraged, cost effective and prudent decision for the Council. As a 39-year resident of RPV, with 3 kids who have graduated from RPV schools, I urge you to enthusiastically complete this important acquisition.

Property Rancho Palos Verdes City Council: Honorable Mayor Bradley Mayor Pro Tern Ferraro Members: Alegria, Cruikshank and Dyda As a Board member of the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy, I applaud the City's consideration of partnering with the Conservancy in the purchase of the York Point View Properties LLC property. This purchase will preserve critical coastal habitat and open space against the encroachment of urbanization. In restoring this land to its natural state and creating a contiguous wildlife corridor, the benefits to endangered species and biodiversity will be incalculable. The acquisition would be congruent with a major motivation for the original incorporation of the City in 1973, which was to prevent over-development of the coastline. As natural habitat loss escalates, the necessity of those in control of land use decisions to mitigate the consequences of those losses only intensifies. We at the Conservancy understand and greatly appreciate the City's awareness of this. I wish to express appreciation for the City's consideration of partnering with the Conservancy in the purchase of the Lower Filiorum and Plumtree properties owned by York Point View Properties LLC. In closing, I strongly urge the Council to approve this partnership with the Conservancy. It's a one time, historic, opportunity that will greatly benefit nature and our community for generations to come. Sincerely, Lewis A.

Cassie Jones, DVM 1 March 31, 2022 Re: Purchase of Yark Point View Properties, LLC Parcels Rancho Palos Verdes City Council: Honorable Mayor Bradley Mayor Pro Tern Ferraro, Council Members Alegria, Cruikshank and Dyda Dear City Council, I am very pleased to see the Closed Agenda Item 1 up for consideration. As a former board member and past president of the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy, I cheer and wholeheartedly support the City's consideration of partnering with the Conservancy in the purchase of the Yark Point View Properties, LLC parcels. I know that cities all over the state are up against an order to produce more housing, likely by increasing density for most communities. It is therefore even more special and imperative that this transaction be completed. We will preserve critical coastal habitat and open space against the encroachment of urbanization. By creating a contiguous wildlife corridor, the benefits to endangered species and biodiversity will be immeasurable. This acquisition would be right in line with the major motive for the incorporation of the City in 1973, namely to prevent the overdeveloprnent of the coastline. Natural habitat losses are increasing here and around the globe. It becomes necessary that those in control of land use decisions mindfully mitigate the consequences of that loss. This is an awesome step you are taking. I understand and greatly appreciate the City's awareness of this. In closing, of course, I strongly urge the Council to approve the City's partnership with the Conservancy in this remarkable opportunity. Sincerely, Cassie L.

Mr Gregor, SoCal TRACON was again out of control this morning {4/2/22) with one LA departure after another shortcut over the Palos Verdes Peninsula . Between 6 AM and 7:20 AM fifteen noisy jets were shortcut over/near our community despite the fact the nearest Standard Instrument Departure routes (OSHNN, DOTSS) lie at least five miles off our coast. As usual, there was no inclement weather, safety concerns, or unusual conditions to justify ATC ignoring the FAA's published procedures. This is now happening routinely but is particularly bad on weekends. I've documented the activity from 4/2/22 below with virtually identical activity seen on the past three weekends (available upon request). Who is being assigned to work the LAX area Del Rey sector during this period? Why isn't the OM on duty correcting this behavior immediately? Rancho Palos Verdes Council members -Several years back the City sent the FAA a notice informing it of the City's intent to take legal action if this did not stop. The City did not proceed after it was assured by the FAA this would not continue. That promise has not been kept. The City of Laguna Beach solved this identical problem permanently but it took a lawsuit and settlement. I will address this during public comments at the next city council meeting.

As a result, we were asked to identify an alternative collateral property. Based on the City Council Facilities Subcommittee approved list of potential collateral properties, we requested Chicago Title Company to pull the title for Hesse park which appears to be clear of any encumbrances and able to be used as collateral. In order to formally make this change to the collateral property, a new resolution needs to be approved by the City Council -and time is of the essence. The 1.98% interest rate was locked in until March 18. However, Trang was able to get BOW to agree to extend the closing date to April 8 without any increase to the interest rate, and this is despite the recent rise in interest rates. BOW is telling us that if we are not able to close by April 8, they will have to amend the rate to the current market rate. Therefore, the April 5 agenda will be amended and this item will be placed on the consent calendar for the City Council's consideration to replace PVIC with Hesse park as the collateral property. The Mayor and City Clerk will need to sign and notarize all documents after the meeting so that the documents can be recorded with the County and sent to the BOW by April 6 to meet this tight deadline. Please contact me directly with any questions. The amended agenda should post no later than tomorrow. Ara Ara Michael Mihranian City Manager 30940 Hawthorne Blvd. L.

There are 2 drinking fountains in Marylin Ryan Sunset Point Park. One is completely dead, the other has had its drain blocked for several years, making its drinking bowl foul. A 3rd drinking fountain on the north side of P.V. Dr. South near the intersection with P.V. Dr. East is also dead, without water. I walk by these drinking fountains all the time and the lack of maintenance has driven me crazy. Should these public drinking fountains be maintained by the Golf Club? I searched the Maintenance Matrix for anything about these drinking fountains and came up with nothing. I cannot tell if the Golf Club is required to maintain these drinking fountains, in part because of item 1), but 3 mostly because there are so many other documents which ran through the City to get Tract 50666 recorded that it is not possible for an outsider to know where to look. Would you please let me know if the Golf Club has any responsibility to maintain the 3 drinking fountains noted above, and whether this is the right time to get the required maintenance onto the Maintenance Matrix? I believe the Golf Club is supposed to maintain all amenities in the parks, open spaces, trails etc. However, I will verify with the Recreation, Parks, and Open Space Staff and get back to you. If the Golf Club is supposed to maintain these, I'll make sure they get added to the matrix, or addressed in some way, shape, or form. 3. As you know, there was a fire last week near the bridge to the Club House, fortunately quickly extinguished, but the fire treat from the habitat shrubs to my tract is real. There is new landscaping adjoining my tract which might be dangerous if not maintained properly. This new landscaping to the west of the driving range, on Tract 50666 Lot D, has been planted, irrigated, and is growing vigorously in most places. This landscaping covered what was a vacant dirt lot which was formerly a fuel load control area. The former bare dirt lot gave my tract (16540) some protection from possible fires in the habitat area to the south of the driving range. Several years ago my tract's HOA met with the former planning director, the L.A. County fire department and a representative of the Golf Club and we all agreed that the planting to the west of the driving range was to be maintained "in park-like condition", which meant watered and maintained in such a way that it would not carry a fire across Lot D into our tract. I do not see anything about this planting in the Maintenance Matrix, and I am hoping this would be a great time to get it onto the Maintenance Matrix schedule. I know that irrigation was installed for the plantings on Lot D. Please see the sentence that starts with: "The Maintenance Obligations and the area ... " towards the bottom of page 5, as that mentions the maintenance of the landscaping. I will review the project documentation to find additional information regarding the maintenance of Lot D and will get back to you. 4. The "Fencing /Wall Plan for Tract 50666" calls for the construction of a 30" slumpstone wall on the west side of the entrance to Costa de las Islas. This was included to reduce noise and light from cars entering and leaving Costa de las Islas which would otherwise bother my tract neighbors (see the plan's Fencing and Construction Notes, item 5). There is no sign of this wall yet. Is the construction of this wall part of the Golf Club's compliance with the plans? If not, can you let me know when this wall was removed from the list of things the Golf Club was going to do? Thank you for the reminder but please note I am aware and have reminded the Trump Contractor in writing that this wall is still required. I will be working with them on a specific location, as the approved fencing plan included only a general location and dimensions. I will also be working with them on a possible material change, to make the wall more aesthetically pleasing than the currently required "slumpstone". This change, as well as others that have been requested and/or implemented, will be shown on an updated fencing plan that the Trump contractor is currently working on, and will be documented as a minor change to the existing conditions of approval for the project. These changes will include other revisions to the approved fencing plan, and will be either presented or provided to the City Council along with a few other (relatively) minor project changes, which include a change to the storm drain plan for Tract No. 50666. Staff is currently working on the prerequisites to the storm drain revisions, which include updates to the City's NCCP and an addendum to the MND for the storm drain project. 4 I hope I am not being too much of a pain in the neck here as you are probably pretty busy, but I am hopeful these points can be considered as part of the City's compliance review. Its very easy for things to fall between the cracks. Thank you for considering my comments and requests. No problem at all! Please always feel free to reach out to me with any questions. I can add these items to my presentation to the Council on Tuesday. Please also note that I am working on numerous other items with the Trump Golf Club staff to ensure they are meeting the conditions of approval as well as mitigation measures for the new development, including the trimming of foliage that has extended above the southern berm, review of the irrigation plans with the City Geologist, following up on their compliance with the water quality inspections, etc. Thank you, Amy Seeraty Senior Planner amys@rpvca.gov Phone -(310) 544-5231 City of Rancho Palos Verdes 30940 Hawthorne Blvd. Rancho Palos Verdes, CA 90275 Website: www.rpvca.gov Conmrd with th., Ciity hom your phon¢' or toblctl DOWNLOAD 'ltt_frf Avoilobl'"" in the App Store-and Google Play .....

I do not see anything about this planting in the Maintenance Matrix, and I am hoping this would be a great time to get it onto the Maintenance Matrix schedule. 4. The "Fencing /Wall Plan for Tract 50666" calls for the construction of a 30" slumpstone wall on the west side of the entrance to Costa de las Islas. This was included to reduce noise and light from cars entering and leaving Costa de las Islas which would otherwise bother my tract neighbors (see the plan's Fencing and Construction Notes, item 5). There is no sign of this wall yet. Is the construction of this wall part of the Golf Club's compliance with the plans? If not, can you let me know when this wall was removed from the list of things the Golf Club was going to do? I hope I am not being too much of a pain in the neck here as you are probably pretty busy, but I am hopeful these points can be considered as part of the City's compliance review. Its very easy for things to fall between the cracks. Thank you for considering my comments and requests. With thanks and best regards, Kelvin Vanderlip 4105 Sea Horse Lane, R.P.V.

If I click on this item as a URL I get to a user/password protected page at Microsoft.online .

I'm so sorry about that Kelvin, I'm not sure what occurred with the link, but please see what should be a working link be low: lrnJ 2018 -1187784 REC ALL (Restated Maintenance Agrmt) .pdf 2. There are 2 drinking fountains in Marylin Ryan Sunset Point Park. One is completely dead, the other has had its drain blocked for several years, making its drinking bowl foul. A 3 rd drinking 2 fountain on the north side of P.V. Dr. South near the intersection with P.V. Dr. East is also dead, without water. I walk by these drinking fountains all the time and the lack of maintenance has driven me crazy. Should these public drinking fountains be maintained by the Golf Club? I searched the Maintenance Matrix for anything about these drinking fountains and came up with nothing. I cannot tell if the Golf Club is required to maintain these drinking fountains, in part because of item 1), but mostly because there are so many other documents which ran through the City to get Tract 50666 recorded that it is not possible for an outsider to know where to look. Would you please let me know if the Golf Club has any responsibility to maintain the 3 drinking fountains noted above, and whether this is the right time to get th e required maintenance onto the Maintenance Matrix? I believe the Golf Club is supposed to maintain all amenities in the parks , open spaces, trails etc . However, I will verify with the Recreation , Parks, and Open Space Staff and get back to you. If the Golf Club is supposed to maintain these , I'll make sure they get added to the matrix , or addressed in some way, shape, or form. 3. As you know, there was a fire last week near the bridge to the Club House, fortunately quickly extinguished, but the fire treat from the habitat shrubs to my tract is real. There is new landscaping adjoining my tract which might be dangerous if not maintained properly. This new landscaping to the west of the driving range, on Tract 50666 Lot D, has been planted, irrigated, and is growing vigorously in most places . This landscaping covered what was a vacant dirt lot which was formerly a fuel load control area. The former bare dirt lot gave my tract (16540) some protection from possible fires in the habitat area to the south of the driving range. Several years ago my tract's HOA met with the former planning director, the L.A. County fire department and a representative of the Golf Club and we all agreed that the planting to the west of the driving range was to be maintained "in park-like condition", which meant watered and maintained in such a way that it would not carry a fire across Lot D into our tract. I do not see anything about this planting in the Maintenance Matrix, and I am hoping this would be a great time to get it onto the Maintenance Matrix schedule . I know that irrigation was installed for the plantings on Lot D. Please see the sentence that starts with : "The Maintenance Obligations and the area ... " towards the bottom of page 5, as that mentions the maintenance of the landscaping . I will review the project documentation to find additional information regarding the maintenance of Lot D and will get back to you. 4. The "Fencing /Wall Plan for Tract 50666" calls for the construction of a 30" slumpstone wall on the west side of the entrance to Costa de las Islas. This was included to reduce noise and light from cars entering and leaving Costa de las Islas which would otherwise bother my tract neighbors (see the plan's Fencing and Construction Notes, item 5). There is no sign of this wall yet. Is the construction of this wall part of the Golf Club's compliance with the plans? If not, can you let me know when this wall was removed from the list of things the Golf Club was going to do? Thank you for the reminder but please note I am aware and have reminded the Trump Contractor in writing that this wall is still required . I will be working with them on a specific location, as the approved fencing plan included only a general location and dimensions. I will also be working with them on a possible material change , to make the 3 wall more aesthetically pleasing than the currently requi red "slumpstone". This change , as well as others that have been reques ted and/or implemented , will be shown on an updated fencing plan that the Trump contractor is currently working on, and will be documented as a minor change to the existing conditions of approval for the project. These changes will include other rev isions to the approved fencing plan, and will be either presented or provided to the City Council along w ith a few other (relatively) minor project changes, which include a change to the storm drain plan for Tract No . 50666 . Staff is currently working on the prerequ isites to the storm drain revisions, which include updates to the City's NCCP and an addendu m to the MND for the storm drain project. I hope I am not being too much of a pain in the neck here as you are probably pretty busy, but I am hopeful these points can be considered as part of the City's compliance review . Its very easy for things to fall between the cracks. Thank you for considering my comments and requests . No problem at all! Please always feel free to reach out to me with any questions . I can add these items to my presentatio n to the Council on Tuesday. Please also note that I am working on numerous other items with the Trump Golf Club staff to ensure they are meeting the conditions of approval as well as mitigation measures for the new development , including the t r imming of foliage that has extended above the southern berm, review of the irrigation plans with the City Geologist , following up on their compliance with the water quality inspections , etc .
