EXTERNAL EMAIL: Do not click links or open any aƩachments unless you recognize the sender and know the content is
safe!!!.
Please read this during the city meeƟng tonight for agenda item 1, regarding the Portuguese Bend Landslide.
Good evening city council members and city team, Dennis Jaconi here a longƟme resident of PBC and KCLAD.
I appreciate your conƟnued diligence in miƟgaƟng the destrucƟon caused by our landslide complex. I wanted to
specifically echo support for KCLAD's 5 point Project Plan that was presented to the city earlier this month and is being
disseminated to state and federal agencies.
I also wanted to share my concern that we may be missing out on funding from Representa Ɵve Ted Lieu's office as they
have yet to receive applicaƟons for funding from RPV, and both GHADs. His office has communicated that they are
wanƟng to help us, but need these applicaƟons submiƩed.
Lastly, i wanted to request a Town Hall meeƟng for our affected communiƟes- aƩended by city council, city management
team, our geologist, and ideally a hydrologist. We really need this opportunity to have a live Q and A session around the
81 page plan and report. Our community meets weekly and has already aggregated many ques Ɵons around the plan that
we'd appreciate answers to.
Thank you for your support in helping to save our homes and surrounding areas.
Thanks.

Please read this letter at the RPV City Council meeting tonight, 3/19/24
Thank you.
This is David & Shelly Roth, residents of Seaview.
We would like to recommend that the city council, city manager, city engineer and all
appropriate parties plan a public town hall type of meeting where concerned residents of Rancho
Palos Verdes can ask questions regarding the Landslide Report that was just released. All parties
that were involved in crafting the report should be present. We feel that a Q & A would be of
enormous benefit to the community.
Thank you.

Please read this during the city meeting tonight for agenda item 1 regarding the
landslide.
Hello Mayor, City Council and City Managers,
My name is Tony Buesing and I own a home on Exultant Drive since 2001.
I am not happy with the current management of the landslide. As home owners we
entered into a state of emergency in October of 2023. We have roads closed, we have
lost a historical site, Palos Verdes Dr South is dangerous to drive and our home values
have plummeted. We can't get mortgages to fix our homes and we are watching streets
bubble in a speed bump in new areas of Exultant. As homeowners we have watched
bandages pasted in several areas. Take a look at the tarps below the Klondike Canyon,
those tarps only covered the fissures. Why wasn't there some swells dugged out and
an installation of rocks to have water run off the tarps to the swells and then to the outlet
that feeds under PV Dr South?
The tarps at the bottom of Klondike Canyon is all torn. Did we accomplish anything with
these tarps? The homeowners above Klondike Canyon listen to streams of water
flowing below and as you follow the plastic black pipe up the canyon, it's all soaked
soils. This problem existed since the 80s and it is discussed in the reports attached to
your website but not one action has been taken to stop the trespassing water flows from
above. There were over 100 water pipes in Portuguese Bend alone and Seaview had
approximately 80 pipe breaks. Just this last week there were approximately 6 or more
breaks in Portuguese Bend, PBC and Seaview. How much water is flowing from all
these breaks? Cal Water was stationed in Seaview temporarily and that is great to shut
off the water quickly and to monitor the systems 24 hours a day. Can we have them
stationed 24 hours a day monitoring and turning off water when breaks happen? We
need Cal Water stationed full time between Seaview, PBC and Portuguese Bend. We
have no professional engineers that understand storm drainage management. We
need to hire a full time hydrologist and engineer to stop the water trespass into the
canyons. The team that completed the San Ramon project, are they going to be

involved in the landslide project ? Was your most current report reviewed by a
hydrologist and engineers that specializes in draining issues in the canyon ? Why was
the San Ramon project completed in June 15, 2015 and here we are in 2024 and have
no drainage system in place for the largest landslide in North America ? It's been 5
months since the state of Emergency was announced and Ted Lieu has not received a
plan from RPV or any of the districts. Ted Lieu office left a message that they have no
place from our city to address the landslide. Why is that ? Meanwhile we have more
homes that are on the verge to get red tagged and no plans to Ted Lieu yet ? How are
you hitting the soil with a shovel if nothing has been communicated to Ted Lieu yet ?
The reason is that your office is too busy with planning the new City Civic Center and
spending money on beautification of Western Avenue when our community residents are
loosing their homes now. We need to know why Ted Lieu has not received your plans and
why aren't there more serious actions from you.
I would like to see a town hall meeting with a Q and A performed asap. We need to know more about
the next plans you are planning to perform on the landslide.
Thank you Tony Buesing

SECOND AMENDMENT TO MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
between the City of Rancho Palos Verdes and the
Rancho Palos Verdes Employee Association
for the Period of July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2025
Pursuant to the requirements of the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (“MMBA,” commencing
at California Government Code § 3500 et seq.), the City of Rancho Palos Verdes
(“CITY”) has recognized the Rancho Palos Verdes Employees Association (“RPVEA”)
as the majority or exclusive representative, as those terms are interchangeably used under
the MMBA, for those CITY employees in the bargaining unit defined as non-
management, full-time employees in the classifications listed on Exhibit “A” to the
Memorandum of Understanding between the CITY and RPVEA for the period July 1,
2022 through June 30, 2025 (“RPVEA MOU 2022-25”), and adopted by Resolution No.
2023-032 on June 20, 2023.
Thereafter, the parties entered into a First Amendment to the RPVEA MOU 2022-25 dated
October 9, 2023 (“First Amendment”), which became effective upon City Council
adoption on October 17, 2023, to address the CITY’s contribution to employee health
insurance plans, with all other terms and conditions of the RPVEA MOU 2022-25
remained in full force and effect.
Thereafter, the parties met and conferred pursuant the requirements of the MMBA
regarding the findings of the Public Sector Personnel Consultants’ (“PSPC”)
Classification and Compensation Study (“Study”) previously contracted for by the CITY.
The parties reached the Tentative Agreement set forth below based in part upon the
recommendations from the Study and these ensuing negotiations, which Tentative
Agreement have been memorialized in this Second Amendment of the RPVEA MOU
2022-25 (“Second Amendment”), with all other terms and conditions of the RPVEA MOU
2022-25 and the First Amendment thereto remaining in full force and effect. This Second
Amendment becomes effective upon City Council adoption.
RPVEA MOU 2022-25 Article IV Compensation is hereby modified to include the
following additional language under Section E. Compensation Adjustment:
1. Effective retroactive to July 1, 2023, the Salary and Hourly Schedule for
Association represented employees shall be the ranges reflected in the
attached Exhibit A hereto, which reflects the agreed upon market
competitiveness comparison in the 75th percentile. These ranges include
adjustments of 3% and the RPVEA's requested 0.56% to the employee pay
ranges based on the market survey.
2. On July 1, 2023, according to the existing MOU, individual represented
employees received a 3% COLA to their base pay within the assigned pay
ranges, which reflects in the attached Salary and Hourly Schedule Exhibit A.
D-4
Page | 3
3. Any current represented Association employee compensated below the
bottom of their new salary range prior to July 1, 2023, will be brought up to
the bottom of the new pay range prior to the 3% individual base pay COLA
being implemented within their new range according to the current MOU.
4. Employees who received an evaluation and performance bonus during FY
2023-24 prior to the 2nd Amendment to the MOU being approved will have
the entirety or a portion of their performance bonus changed to a merit
increase based on their new salary ranges, pursuant to an agreed-upon
payment program between the Director of Finance and the represented
Association employee.
5. City Council authorizes up to $120,000 for the City Manager to adjust current
employee pay by up to 5% based on high performance retroactive to July 1,
2023 for FY 2023-24 only. This one-time increase to pay up to 5% is for
employees currently employed by the City at the time of the adoption of this
Second Amendment and will not apply to employees who have separated
from the City since July 1, 2023, and will be at the discretion of the City
Manager, who will determine high performers based on the FY 2023 -24
Annual Performance Evaluation rating of “Exceptional.” This pay increase
will be in addition to the 3% base pay COLA all employees received on July
1, 2023 and any merit increase of between 5% and 6% for an “exceptional”
rating in the annual evaluation for FY 2023-24. In other words, an exceptional
employee may be eligible to receive up to a 14% base pay increase for FY
2023-24 only. Any Association represented employee “exceptional”
performance evaluation merit adjustments will be implemented retroactively
to July 1, 2023 using the new COLA adjusted pay ranges.
6. Association represented employee regular annual performance evaluation
merit increases will then be implemented effective upon the employee’s
anniversary date.

Subject: FW: Cal OES Response Letter -Request for an SOE -Greater Portuguese Landslide Complex
Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers,
Attached is CalOES's response letter to the City's February 20 request to the Governor to declare a state of
emergency to suspend and/or waive state permitting requirements and to consider requesting the President
declare a federal disaster.
As we know, the City's request was not granted because we are covered by the Governor's State of Emergency
declared on February 4 for 8 counties in California, including Los Angeles County, as a result of the winter storms.
The City and the two GHADs are moving forward with its projects under those orders.
I do want to point out that the letter states that landslides (in and of itself) are not grounds for declaring a federal
disaster by the Presidents. However, if part of weather-related disaster and if proclaimed by the President, FEMA
resources, including potentially financial, may be deployed to the City for land movement. The letter also states
that the Governor is still considering whether to request a federal disaster be declared.
Let me know if you have any questions.
This email and attachment will be provided as late correspondence for the March 19 meeting.

Attached please find the Cal OES Letter in response to the City of Rancho Palos Verdes' letter dated
February 20, 2024. Specifically, this February 20, 2024, letter details the request for a State of
Emergency (SOE)for the greater Portuguese Bend Landslide Complex.
Although the landslide does not warrant a Governor's SOE, please know Cal OES is committed to a
continued partnership with the City of Rancho Palos Verdes, and will continue to support the City in
its recovery and mitigation efforts.
This letter is addressed to the Mayor of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes. Please notify all necessary

RE: Response to February 20, 2024, Letter Regarding the greater Portuguese
Bend Landslide Complex
Dear Mayor Cruikshank,
NANCY WARD
DIRECTOR
Thank you for your letter dated February 20, 2024, and for meeting with me and
my staff on February 23, 2024, regarding the land movement in the greater
Portuguese Bend Landslide Complex that has accelerated due to severe winter
storms in 2023 and 2024. The California Governor's Office of Emerg~ncy Services
{Cal OES) understands the significant impacts that these storms and the land
movement continue to have on the City of Rancho Palos Verdes (the City) and
its residents.
The City has requested the Governor proclaim a State of Emergency (SOE)
Proclamation in order to waive and suspend permitting laws for the purpose of
expediting remediation work. As discussed during our February 23 meeting, Cal
OES has consulted with our state agency partners, including those identified in
your February 20 letter, and has been informed that there are emergency
permitting processes, either under the open SOEs or existing state law, that the
City can utilize to remediate the effects of the substantial precipitation that has
accelerated the land movement over the last two years. Given that the
requested authorities are already available, the landslide event does not
warrant a Governor's SOE Proclamation separate from the February 2024 winter
storms.
Additionally, as discussed during our meeting, a landslide event would not
qualify for a Presidential Major Disaster Declaration (MOD) under current Federal
Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) policy. However, as further discussed,
last year the Governor requested, and the President approved, two MDDs for
the severe winter storms in California, both of which included Los Angeles
County. Similarly, Cal OES and FEMA continue to assess damages to determine

(916) 845-8506 TELEPHONE (916) 845-851 l f AX
www.CalOES.ca,gov
The Honorable John Cruikshank
Portuguese Bend Landslide Complex
whether another MOD is warranted for the early February 2024 storms, which
could bring financial assistance for emergency protective measure projects.
During our February 23 meeting, we also discussed other assistance programs
that the City has been pursuing in consultation with Cal OES, including FEMA's
Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC) program, which has
notably been selected for further review at the national level. I understand that
on February 26, the City, FEMA, and my staff had a productive meeting in which
the City's BRIC application was discussed and FEMA committed to assessing the
City's planned storm remediation projects to determine how these projects may
impact the City's BRIC application. My staff will continue to work with the City in
support of its BRIC application, as well as any other similar opportunities. Cal OES
is committed to maximizing federal assistance to support the City's mitigation
efforts.
Cal OES appreciates your continued partnership to address the effects of these
events on your community and will continue to support the City in its recovery
and mitigation efforts. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any
questions.
Sincerely,
;J.~Lv~d

Mr. and Mrs. Smalling,
Thank you for taking the time to express your concerns and request funding assistance for the work to be
performed by the Klondike Canyon Landslide Abatement District (KCLAD). The City is in receipt of your email and
similar emails from your neighbors.
As you may know, KCLAD was formed in 1981 as a Geologic Hazard Abatement District (GHAD), the second in
California (the first being the Abalone Cove Landslide Abatement District ((ACLAD)). KCLAD's charter is to mitigate
and remediate land movement using funds generated by property owner assessments. Over the years, KC LAD has
managed the landslide primarily using dewatering wells. With the recent increased rate of movement, KCLAD has
repaired and installed dewatering wells, as well as developed a 5 step plan.
The City has been working closely with KCLAD's Board of Directors to assist in the implementation of these
landslide mitigation measures. The City has also been assisting KC LAD to seek financial assistance from
governmental programs such as Disaster Recovery Assistance and Congressional Project Grants.
While this may take time, due to the urgent situation and the Local State of Emergency proclaimed by the City
Council on October 3, 2023, at the upcoming March 19 meeting, the City Council will consider assisting KCLAD
with in-kind services (engineering, etc.) and financial assistance in the form of a loan.
The Staff Report will be published Friday afternoon, and can be accessed on the City's website at the following

Dear Ara Mihranian,
Rancho Palos Verdes is in desperate need of funds to help slow/stop the land movement due to the extreme rains we
received. Several homes are already red tagged in my neighborhood. Klondike Canyon Geological Hazard Abatement
District (KCGHAD) has projects ready to be funded to save the 107 homes in the Klondike slide zone. We are just waiting
on the money. The longer we wait, the more houses we will lose. This is truly an emergency.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this important issue.

Subject: Portuguese Bend Landslide Issue
Hello, Mayor Cruikshank, my name is Evelyn Booth.
My husband, Curt, and myself are long-time residents of Portuguese Bend Beach Club
in Rancho Palos Verdes, CA. As you are likely aware, the beautiful community we live
in, as well as our own personal home, have been greatly affected by the landslide that
continues to intensify in our area. Sadly, we are now experiencing almost weekly events
on our property that are extremely costly and time consuming to repair. They include:
broken concrete in multiple locations on the sides and front of our home; indoor and
outdoor gates and entry doors that no longer operate correctly; warped flooring; cracked
drywall; fences that are moving and are at risk of falling over; and the list goes on.
As taxpayers in this community, we need your help and we need it quickly. Our
Geological Hazard Abatement District (Klondike Canyon Geologic Hazard Abatement
District) and Homeowners Association have worked tirelessly to put together a 5-step
plan of action (attached) to help mitigate the landslide that is putting all our homes at
risk. PLEASE TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION.
Several homes in our area are already red tagged and many more are at risk. As
mentioned above, Klondike Canyon Geologic Hazard Abatement District (KCGHAD)
has outlined and submitted the projects that need to be funded in order to save 107
homes in the Klondike slide zone. We are in desperate need of your assistance as we
are awaiting approval of these funds. The longer we wait, the more houses we will lose.
We are asking for your prompt attention to this important issue so that we can ensure
the safety of the citizens and our homes in this area.

Your quick response to this matter and assistance in securing aid is greatly appreciated!
Thank you,
Evelyn & Curt Booth

Ms. Stevenson,
Thank you for taking the time to express your concerns and request funding assistance for the work to be
performed by the Klondike Canyon Landslide Abatement District (KCLAD). The Mayor and City Councilmembers
are in receipt of your email and similar emails from your neighbors, and they share your concerns.
As you may know, KC LAD was formed in 1981 as a Geologic Hazard Abatement District (GHAD), the second in
California (the first being the Abalone Cove Landslide Abatement District ((ACLAD)). KCLAD's charter is to mitigate
and remediate land movement using funds generated by property owner assessments. Over the years, KC LAD has
managed the landslide primarily using dewatering wells. With the recent increased rate of movement, KCLAD has
repaired and installed dewatering wells, as well as developed a 5 step plan.
The City has been working closely with KCLAD's Board of Directors to assist in the implementation of these
landslide mitigation measures. The City has also been assisting KCLAD to seek financial assistance from
governmental programs such as Disaster Recovery Assistance and Congressional Project Grants. You may want
to consider contacting your County, State and Federal representatives as well stressing the importance for their
support.
While this may take time, due to the urgent situation and the Local State of Emergency proclaimed by the City
Council on October 3, 2023, at the upcoming March 19 meeting, the City Council will consider assisting KC LAD
with in-kind services (engineering, etc.) and financial assistance in the form of a loan.

Dear Mayor Cruikshank,
As a resident of the Portuguese Bend Club, I am writing to ask for your intervention to secure the funds
needed to save our community. Obviously, you are aware of the tremendous problems we have faced
due to the heavy rains of 2023 and 2024. The landslides have affected us all in a most disastrous way.
Our community engineers, with the help of numerous others, have researched and developed a 5 point
plan to save our homes and our community. The plan has been discussed in depth with the residents
here and we are in total support of it.
Thus, I am asking you to help us fund the project. Your love of our community is very clear so I feel
confident that you have our backs and will do what you can to support this funding.
Thank you.

Carole,
We are doing everything possible to identify outside funding sources to help stabilize our unprecedented Land
Flow movement in the Ancient Land Flow complex. We are also trying to ensure that we have identified effective
technical solutions to help remove, and prevent recharging, of the slip-plane water table. I know it appears that
we are not making fast enough progress, but we are doing everything possible within the Laws and Regulations of
the State of California. We are here to help support KC LAD and will continue to help you identify potential grant
opportunities for additional resources. This is in my mind the #1 issue/ priority for the city and for the Peninsula in
general.

Dear Mr. Bradley,
As a resident of RPB I am asking for your support to obtain funds to help those of us who have been
affected by the recent land movement due to the extreme rains in 2023 and 2024.
RPB is in desperate need of funds to help slow and stop the land movement due to the extreme and
unprecedented rains from last year and into 2024.
Our home has been damaged and several homes have already been red tagged. Our community has a
very specific 5 point plan to address these issues and what we need now is the money to move
forward. The Klondike Canyon Geological Hazard Abatement District has projects ready to be funded to
save the 107 homes in the Klondike slide zone.
Please help us and make this request a priority.
Thank you.

Dear Mayor Cruikshank,
I am writing to you representing Betty Helford and the entire Helford family, long-time residents of Portuguese
Bend Club within Rancho Palos Verdes -currently owning 127 & 129 Spindrift, former owners of 120 and 122
Spindrift. Before his death in August 2022, Irwin Helford along with his wife, Betty, were very active in the
community supporting the PV Performing Arts Center and many local charities. Betty spends most of her time now
at 127 Spindrift and is 91 years old with limited mobility and round the clock care. While everyone in the
community is of course concerned with the acceleration of land movement, it would be extremely difficult for Mrs.
Helford to relocate at her age should immediate steps to improve the situation not be taken.
Our Geological Hazard Abatement District (Klondike Canyon Geologic Hazard Abatement District) and PBC
Homeowners Association have worked tirelessly to put together a 5-step plan of action to help mitigate the
landslide that is putting all our homes at risk. A quick summary of the KCGHAD Plan Forward is attached.

Good morning,
Thank you very much for your detailed response and the efforts that you and the City Council are taking
on behalf of the PBC and RPV residents. I have contacted other local, state and federal representatives
and hope that they will also be as attentive to the current crisis.
Best,

Thank you for taking the time to express your concerns and request funding assistance for the work to be
performed by the Klondike Canyon Landslide Abatement District (KCLAD). The Mayor and City Councilmembers
are in receipt of your email and similar emails from your neighbors, and they share your concerns.
As you may know, KCLAD was formed in 1981 as a Geologic Hazard Abatement District (GHAD), the second in
California (the first being the Abalone Cove Landslide Abatement District ((ACLAD)). KCLAD's charter is to
mitigate and remediate land movement using funds generated by property owner assessments. Over the years,
KC LAD has managed the landslide primarily using dewatering wells. With the recent increased rate of movement,
KC LAD has repaired and installed dewatering wells, as well as developed a 5 step plan.
The City has been working closely with KCLAD's Board of Directors to assist in the implementation of these
landslide mitigation measures. The City has also been assisting KCLAD to seek financial assistance from
governmental programs such as Disaster Recovery Assistance and Congressional Project Grants. You may want
to consider contacting your County, State and Federal representatives as well stressing the importance for their
support.
While this may take time, due to the urgent situation and the Local State of Emergency proclaimed by the City
_ Council on October 3, 2023, at the upcoming March 19 meeting, the City Council will consider assisting KC LAD
with in-kind services (engineering, etc.) and financial assistance in the form of a loan.
The Staff Report will be published Friday afternoon, and can be accessed on the City's website at the following

Subject: FEMA funding for PBC/Klondike
Dear Mayor Cruikshank,
Before I ask for a few minutes of your time, I want to thank you for your service to the City of
Rancho Palos Verdes. As a former elected public official myself, I understand and appreciate the
time and resources you spend on your constituents' behalf!
I am a homeowner in the Portuguese Bend Beach Club (PBC) in Rancho Palos Verdes. I have family
members who have lived in PBC since the 1970s, and currently both my brother and a cousin own
homes in this special community. We all are extremely concerned, and frankly, scared, about what is
happening to our homes and greater community.
As you know and as has been reported in the Los Angeles Times and beyond, our particular area of
the Palos Verdes Peninsula has experienced unprecedented land movement. Several homes in our
vicinity are already red tagged and many more are at risk of significant damage. Our doors no
longer close quite right, the pavement continues to buckle and new cracks are noticeable weekly,
and there are homes that have suffered much more damage. The main road that provides access to
my elderly parents appears to shift daily, causing frequent repairs to ensure the safety of the many
cars that use this thoroughfare connecting the cities on the Peninsula.
It is not too late to take action to mitigate the harm caused by the land movement. Attached is a 5-
step plan of action developed and submitted by the Klondike Canyon Geologic Hazard Abatement
District (KCGHAD) to address the movement that is putting all our homes at risk. But the cost of
implementing this action plan is exorbitant and beyond the financial means of individual
homeowners. We desperately need the government's financial help to avoid imminent disaster in
this area.
Typically, FEMA has provided financial assistance to homeowners AFTER they have been adversely
impacted by disasters. Here, we know we have a disaster in progress --doesn't it make sense to
get FEMA assistance NOW to try to STOP the disaster from getting worse? Please help us obtain
disaster relief as soon as possible when it can still be prevented, instead of after the fact when it is
too late.
HOW YOU CAN HELP: Please continue to advocate on our behalf to obtain government funding to at
least save the 107 homes in the Klondike area. The longer we wait to get funding, the more homes
we will lose.
Thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this important issue and your advocacy on your
constituents' behalf so that we can all ensure the safety of the citizens and homes in this area.

Dear City Manager Mihranian:
My family owns the home at 130 Spindrift Drive, Rancho Palos Verdes, CA 90275.
As I am sure you are aware, Klondike Canyon Geological Hazard Abatement District (KCGHAD) has A 5-
STEP PLAN ready to be funded to save the 107 homes in the Klondike slide zone. KCGHAD is just waiting
on the money needed to complete those projects.
The longer we wait, the more houses we will lose. Please help us secure FEMA funding ASAP.
These plans are not aspirational, or over engineered, they are well thought out by people with boots on
the ground. They will work!
My family has lived in this area for close to 70 years. My father was raised in RPV. My brother and I were
raised here in RPV, and visited my grandparents at 130 Spindrift every day after school.
My 95-year old grandmother now lives in this home. She will not leave for an assisted care community
because this is where the memories she still has live.
This area isn't just a pretty area or a nice drive, it is where people have put down roots. This area is where
families have found each other, loved each other and have been there for each other.
Please aid us in gaining access to any state, federal or other government funds to aid in protecting this
beloved area and community.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this important issue.

Subject: STOP THE LANDSLIDE -WE NEED YOUR HELP!
Dear Mayor Cruikshank,
Nearly 40 years ago my parents, Don and Dorothy Pierson purchased a humble cottage in the
Portuguese Bend Club in Rancho Palos Verdes. My father grew up in San Pedro, starting one of the
first trash pickup services in the area. It had always been his dream to live at the beach.
Though well into their golden years, hard work and creativity were in my parents' DNA. For years,
they worked to make that simple cottage a magical gathering spot for our family. Using Palos Verdes
stone inside and out, they created a whimsical, one-of-a-kind home where they welcomed their
children and grandchildren.
With the recent accelerated land movement, the stonework they painstakingly cemented into place is
being ripped apart. Unless the movement is mitigated, the house Don and Dot hoped would welcome
their descendants for generations, could crumble.
My neighbors' homes face the same fate. Several homes in our area are already red tagged and
many more are threatened. However, our Geological Hazard Abatement District (Klondike Canyon
Geologic Hazard Abatement District) and Homeowners Association have worked tirelessly to put
together a 5-step plan of action to help mitigate the landslide that is putting all our homes at risk. That
plan is attached.
We are in desperate need of your assistance as we are awaiting approval of the funds needed to
save the homes in the Klondike slide zone. The longer we wait, the more houses we will lose. We are
asking for your prompt attention to ensure the safety of citizens who live and recreate in the area and
to avoid catastrophic property losses.

Your quick response to this matter and assistance in receiving aid is greatly appreciated!

Hello City Council,
First of all a big thank you to all the work being done right now to try and save our homes from the
land slide.
I have been rallying behind my fellow residents at PBBC and our GHAD (Klondike Canyon Landslide
Abatement District) in hopes to receive emergency funding for the 5 step plan we submitted to slow
the landslide in our area. I truly believe you all have been supporting us in a massive way.
I was disappointed to see that a message (email below) from Ted Lieu's office went out celebrating
$11 million in funding for cities including Rolling Hills but not RPV. Do you all have any insight as to
why we would be second in line to Rolling Hills from this round of funding?
I look forward to hearing from you and also seeing what we can continue to do as a city to support
one another.
Thank you.

Dear neighbor,
I'm pleased to announce that I secured over $11 million in federal funding for local
projects in our community! These funds will support landslide and flood mitigation
efforts, reduce homelessness, improve community safety, protect our environment and
more. I fought for this money to be included in last week's government funding bill
because I know how important these projects will be for our community. To learn more
about the projects receiving funding, read my full statement here.

l'M NOT WITH HUR: Former Special Counsel Robert Hur testified before the House
Judiciary Committee about his investigation into President Biden's handling of
classified documents. My Republican colleagues on the Committee tried their best to
compare this investigation to the investigation of Donald Trump's handling of classified
documents.
There was just one issue: the two cases aren't remotely similar. While President Biden
fully cooperated with investigators, Trump repeatedly tried to conceal his possession of
documents and mislead both investigators and the American public. I laid out the
significant differences between these cases during my series of questions for Mr. Hur.
Watch our full exchange below.
D
SUPPORTING DEMOCRACIES ABROAD: It has been over two years since Putin's
illegal invasion of Ukraine. Ukrainian troops have bravely held the line against Russian
aggression and so far prevented Putin from expanding his attacks into neighboring
countries. But this battle has not been easy for the Ukrainian forces-they are relying
on their international allies, including the United States, for support to counter Russia's
anti-democratic incursion.
Last month, the Senate passed a national security supplemental funding package that
includes much-needed support for Ukraine. Unfortunately, House Speaker Johnson
and the extreme MAGA Republican majority have not allowed this bipartisan bill to
come before the House for a vote.
Without this critical aid, Ukraine's democracy is on the line. If Putin is not stopped in
Ukraine, he will continue his attacks on sovereign nations. This could potentially
endanger U.S. troops stationed in NATO countries and cost our country more in the
long run. I joined my House and Senate colleagues at a press conference hosted by
VoteVets earlier this week to call on Speaker Johnson to let the House vote. Watch my
full remarks here.
FOLLOW THE MONEY: President Biden earlier this week shared his budget proposal
for Fiscal Year 2025. Budgets are a statement of values, and President Biden's budget
reflects our shared priorities of lowering costs, creating jobs and protecting Social
Security and Medicare. House Democrats and President Biden are united to make life
better for American families and defend against MAGA extremism. To read more about

MEANINGFUL MEETING: I was honored to meet Juli Shamash and Perla Mendoza
recently. Juli and Perla both tragically lost their sons, Tyler and Elijah, to accidental
fentanyl overdoses. Their advocacy inspired Tyler's Law, a bipartisan bill I introduced
to make fentanyl testing a standard practice in emergency rooms, potentially saving
lives. I am grateful to Juli and Perla for sharing their stories with me.

Subject: March 19, 2024 City Council Meeting Agenda Item #3: ParkMobile Parking Solution along Crenshaw Boulevard
Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers,
Del Cerro residents support Staff's recommendation to return 8 of the 14 non-ADA parking spaces on Park
Place to general public usage, while designating 6 of the 14 spaces for PV Park Place HOA visitor parking, City
1 3 .
Staff, City contractors, and PVP Land Conservancy volunteers, and converting 10 parking within ParkMobile
Zone Con Crenshaw to Residential Recreational Parking spaces.
The changes will comply with the Del Cerro Park program of utilization, while continuing to provide parking
spaces for RPV residents who have Residential Recreational Parking permits. We believe that these changes
will not adversely impact the residents near the Park.
We appreciate Staff's effort in working with the National Park Service to find a solution that brings the parking
into compliance with the POU, provides parking for Park Place residents' guests, enables RPV residents to have
convenient parking, and preserves the peace and quiet of neighboring communities.
Sincerely,
Kathy Edgerton

Comments to City Council
Regarding the proposed housing development in the Silver Spur neighborhood, I am against anything
other than a single-unit home to be built on the lot involved. I'm concerned with high-density housing,
increased traffic, safety, and the loss of the pastoral views on which Rancho Palos Verdes prides itself.
People move to the Palos Verdes Peninsula because of its beauty. Slowly but surely, RPV is ruining the
smaller neighborhoods and our larger community. (Examples of other downgrades to RPV are the
proposed high-density unit along the current Brick Walk (which I'm also against), and the allowed
business card design (with photo) signage of the business for "Spiritual Healing" on the corner of PV Dr. N
and Crenshaw.) RPV is a suburb. Let's keep it that way.
Sincerely,
Mary Bernard

BACKGROUND:
On October 3, 2023, the City Council conducted a discussion regarding the conditions of
the Greater Portuguese Bend Landslide Complex (Landslide Complex). After considering
information presented that evening, including public testimony, the City Council
unanimously adopted Resolution No. 2023-47 declaring the existence of a local
emergency within the geographic boundaries of the Landslide Complex. (Attachment G)
On November 14, 2023, December 19, 2023, and February 6, 2024, the City Council
received updates on conditions in the Landslide Complex and activities underway by
various entities to reduce landslide movement. The local emergency was extended at
each of those meetings by 60 days. (Attachments H, I, and J)
During the February 20, 2024 City Council meeting, in consideration of the unprecedented
changes in the landslide and the threat to public health , safety, and property; the City
Council directed Staff to complete the Final Environmental Impact Report (Final EIR) and
final engineering for the Portuguese Bend Landslide Remediation Project (Project) based
on the original concept design while continuing to study whether revisions could be made
to the project footprint to reduce the environmental impact. (Attachment K)
The City Council also authorized the Mayor to sign a letter to the Governor requesting his
consideration to declare a State of Emergency by invoking his emergency powers to
suspend or waive certain state requirements and to consider requesting the President
2
declare a Federal Emergency Disaster (as well as a follow up joint letter with co -
signatures from other elected officials).
DISCUSSION:
Current Conditions in the Landslide Complex
The Landslide Complex encompasses four historically active landslide areas: the
Portuguese Bend Landslide (PBL), the Abalone Cove Landslide (ACL), the Klondike
Canyon Landslide (KCL), and the Beach Club Landslide (BCL). However, it also includes
areas outside of the historical boundaries of those known landslides, predominantly uphill
from the Portuguese Bend and Abalone Cove landslides, within the Ancient Portuguese
Bend Landslide Complex as mapped by various agencies (i.e., U.S. Geological Survey,
California Geological Survey) and other researchers.
Since the last update to the City Council on February 6, 2024, the City Geologist, Mike
Phipps of Cotton, Shires, and Associates, Inc. conducted additional field mapping
throughout the Landslide Complex; observed conditions at various site-specific locations
impacting residential neighborhoods, public infrastructure, and where trails have been
impacted; reviewed additional survey and rainfall data; and participated in the weekly
Portuguese Bend Landslide Complex Working Group meetings.
The City Geologist is reporting that movement continues to manifest at the ground surface
in the form of landslide scarps, fissures, grabens/sinkholes, tensional cracking, shear
zones, and thrust features. The ground movement features have continued to enl arge,
expand, widen, or grow depending on the type of feature and location. Rainfall and
accompanying infiltration and runoff into the Landslide Complex continue to adversely
affect the landslide area.
Upon review of ground movement survey data for separate monitoring surveys performed
on the Wayfarers Chapel between November 28, 2023 and January 27, 2024; the City
Geologist is reporting that movement velocities have accelerated on that property from
December 2023 to January 2024 with total land movement of 0.20 to 1.41 feet over the
two month period. This land movement is predominantly outside of the known western
boundary of the Abalone Cove Landslide and appears to be reactivation of a portion of
the mapped Ancient Portuguese Bend Landslide Complex.
In summary, the City Geologist findings continue to be that a large portion of the Ancient
Portuguese Bend Landslide Complex above the historically mapped PBL, ACL, and KCL
boundaries is involved in significant active landslide movement that is impacting trails,
roads, private property, and infrastructure. The current area of major landslide movement
involves approximately 675 acres of land as shown in the updated map . (Attachment B)
The City Geologist will be attending the March 19 meeting to provide the City Council and
public with an updated report since the February 6 meeting.
The City Council is being asked to receive and file an update on current conditions in the
Landslide Complex.

Current Palos Verdes Nature Preserve Trail Conditions within the Landslide Complex
Large parts of the Palos Verdes Nature Preserve (Preserve) are located within the
Landslide Complex. Specifically, the Portuguese Bend Reserve, Abalone Cove Reserve,
and parts of the Forrestal and Filiorum Reserves are located within the Landslide
Complex. Many of these areas are seeing landslide -related damage including fissures,
rockslides, sink holes, unstable trails, and significant erosion. Out of concern for public
safety, and in consultation with the City Geologist, the City Manager has temporarily
closed large areas of these Preserve consisting of approximately 8 miles of passive
recreation trails. Staff continues to monitor these and other trails, and extensive repairs
will likely be needed before these trails can be reopened for public use after the area has
been stabilized.
Since the last update to the City Council, land movement has continued in the
Preserve; most notably in areas along Burma Road Trail and on Peppertree Trail,
Landslide Scarp Trail, Garden Trail, and in the surrounding landscapes. Portions of
Burma Road are no longer accessible by vehicle and are difficult to traverse on foot.
These areas saw additional significant damage during the recent February/March 2024
storms, including elevation changes, large increases in erosion, and additional and
expanded fissures. New developments have been observed in multiple locations in the
Preserve, most notably on Garden Trail, Ishibashi Trail, Burma Road Trail, and in the Lay
Reserve. These new developments tie in closely to the previously noted areas and show
the expansion and connectivity of land movement throughout the Preserve. Infrastructure
such as utility poles and water mains continue to be impacted in these areas. The photos
below show recent conditions.
The City has recently obtained drone footage of the Preserve and it will be posted on the
City’s website in the near future.

Activities in the Portuguese Bend Landslide Complex
To respond to the increased movement, Staff formed a working group that meets weekly
(virtually) every Wednesday at 3 p.m. and posts meeting minutes to the City’s website
under the Land Movement homepage. The purpose of the working group is to coordinate,
develop and implement actions with participating members to minimize land movement
and its impact on private property as well as public infrastructure. Although many of the
measures are the responsibility of other parties, the City is proactively supporting and
facilitating various measures. The working group is comprised of the following:
• Abalone Cove and Klondike Canyon Landslide Abatement Districts (ACLAD and
KCLAD) and their geologist;
• California Water Service (Cal Water)
• Southern California Gas Company (SoCalGas)
• Southern California Edison (SCE)
• Seaview Residential Association
• Portuguese Bend Community Association
• Portuguese Bend Beach Club Homeowners Association
• Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy (PVPLC)
• Los Angeles County Public Works Sanitary Sewer Maintenance (LACPW)
• Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts (LACSD)
• City of Rolling Hills
• Rolling Hills Community Association
• Area residents
• Staff and consultant program manager, geologists, and civil engineers
A summary of key recent activities is presented below:
Fissure Filling:
A combined effort including the Recreation and Parks Department, Public Works
Department, ACLAD, and KCLAD continues to be underway to fill as many fissures
as possible (especially in advance of forecasted rain), with geologists providing
direction on priorities. Additionally, the PVPLC Volunteer Trail Crew is assisting with
maintenance to repair fissures and erosion on trails to keep as many trails within the
landslide area open as possible.
Roadway Repairs:
The City continues to inspect Palos Verdes Drive South (PVDS) and roadways in the
Seaview Neighborhood on a regular basis. Repairs continue to be conducted as
needed, particularly on PVDS.
Staff, through consultants, performed a review of heavy vehicle restrictions on PVDS
with respect to geotechnical impacts on the roadway, particularly at the area locally
known as the “Ski Jump”. Because the impact of a vehicle on the road structure is
dependent on the speed, the geotechnical engineering consultant’s review
recommended certain speed limits based on vehicle classification. The review
concluded that light vehicles should be restricted to a speed limit of 45 miles per hour,
8
heavy vehicles should be restricted to a speed limit of 35 miles per hour, and very
heavy vehicles (three or more axles) should be prohibited. PVDS already has a speed
limit of 35 miles per hour, therefore the speed limit restrictions are already in effect.
Additionally, the use of PVDS as a haul route is prohibited, therefore, the heavy vehicle
restriction is already in effect. Additional signage reinforcing this condition will be
installed in the coming weeks. Overall signage on PVDS is also being reviewed, to
include a traffic engineering and geometric conditions analysis. Signage modifications
will be made, if recommended by the City’s traffic engineering consultants.
Overall, it has become apparent that the “ski jump” is a separate lobe of the PBL that
is breaking off. The ground on both sides of the rift/scarp at the ski jump is moving,
with the east side dropping relatively faster than the west side. The elevation
difference at this break is increasing rapidly and jeopardizing PVDS. It is possible that
PVDS will need to be closed in the near future because it could become unsafe.
Therefore, the City’s consultants are developing construction documents to regrade
the road, which may require a temporary closure of PVDS. In the event PVDS has to
be closed, staff is exploring if a detour route can be developed. PVDS typically
accommodates 15,000 daily trips.
The regrading is likely to be accomplished by building up the east side of the “ski jump”
and even potentially cutting the west side. The City is exploring building up the east
side using innovative materials such as geofoam blocks, which are synthetic
lightweight blocks with similar compression strength as traditional fill materials. The
design will be very closely coordinated with the Los Angeles County Sanitation
Districts to carefully consider impacts on the sanitary sewer trunk lines.
A construction plan is being developed and will be presented to the City Council for
approval consideration on April 2, 2024.
Water Distribution Pipes:
In the Portuguese Bend Community Association neighborhood (PBCA), Cal Water
started construction to bring certain water distribution pipes above ground. Work
started on bringing a segment of watermain at Clovetree Place and near Cinnamon
Lane above ground. Installing swing joints on existing above-ground water lines on
PVDS south of Wayfarers Chapel has also started. These projects are expected to be
complete by the end of March 2024. Cal Water is continuing planning work on several
other projects including bringing the water main at Vanderlip Drive near Vanderlip Trail
as well as between PVDS and Yacht Harbor Drive above ground, installing swing
joints throughout Narcissa Drive, and replacing watermains in the Seaview
neighborhood. (Attachment E)
Sanitary Sewers:
Inspection and repair of the underground sanitary sewers in the Seaview
neighborhood is being regularly conducted by the Los Angeles County Public Works,
who maintains and operates the system. Due to repeated sanitary sewer breaks in
certain areas, the City is discussing possibly re-routing certain segments of the sewer
to avoid the areas of greatest movement.
9
Utility Poles in Preserve:
SCE is currently engaged in a project to remove 40 de-energized utility poles from the
Portuguese Bend Reserve because the land movement has made ongoing
maintenance of these poles untenable. The work is occurring in consultation with the
City Geologist and includes the use of crews with all-terrain type vehicles as well as
helicopters (when approved by the City Manager). The helicopter staging area is
located adjacent to the Forrestal Reserve off Main Sail (Intrepid) Drive. The schedule
is variable depending on field conditions and notification is provided to nearby HOAs
whenever possible.
Land Movement Surveying:
Staff ordered a GPS land movement survey of select locations representative of the
Landslide Complex in February 2024 to understand land movement rates in
comparison to recent surveys (January 2024, December 2023, and October 2023).
Due to ongoing rain and resultant ground conditions limiting access, the survey was
conducted in early March 2024 and a report is being developed for public distribution,
which is expected to occur in late March 2024. Initial raw data has been provided to
the City Geologist for his early review.
Staff continues to coordinate with the City Geologist and Land Surveyor to identify
whether additional monitoring points are warranted in response to increased and
expanded land movement.
KCLAD Activities
KCLAD now has a total of 4 operational wells which are pumping a total of
approximately 225 gallons per minute at the time of publication of this report. A fifth
well is currently being repaired and is expected to become a productive pumping well.
The tarps installed to prevent water infiltration at the high priority Klondike Canyon
Landslide boundary fissure continues to be maintained by City crews on a regular
basis, especially in advance of forecasted storms.
The City and KCLAD have been meeting with the Los Angeles County Flood Control
District (LACFCD), which has jurisdiction over Klondike Canyon, to discuss surface
drainage in Klondike Canyon to minimize recharging the water table thereby reducing
landslide movement. LACFCD is peer reviewing drainage solutions proposed by
KCLAD for Klondike Canyon to reduce surface water infiltration and resultant land
movement. The City shared available information with LACFCD and will continue to
coordinate with LACFCD to facilitate their peer review.
ACLAD Activities
Four City-funded dewatering wells south of PVDS that were recently installed are
operational. Additionally, two ACLAD-funded wells north of PVDS have been installed,
with power and drainage lines scheduled to be connected in March .
ACLAD and the City have cleared vegetation to provide access to the Kelvin Canyon
10
Spring and are now assessing potential actions to prevent surface water from
infiltrating into the ground and contributing to land movement by recharging the water
table.
The City and ACLAD have been meeting with LACFCD, which has jurisdiction over
Altamira Canyon, to discuss Altamira Canyon as it relates to reducing landslide
movement. LACFCD is peer reviewing the Altamira Canyon Drainage / Erosion
Control project study report prepared by the City (through tis consultant Harris &
Associates, Inc.). The City shared available information with LACFCD and will
continue to coordinate with LACFCD to facilitate their peer review.
The City Council is being asked to receive and file an update on activities in the Landslide
Complex related to the emergency declaration.
Building Inspection Update
Building Division Staff have been proactively conducting windshield inspections of the
residential neighborhoods (PBC, Seaview, and PBCA) within the landslide complex
multiple times per week to monitor conditions particularly structures. Staff have also
visited commercial/institutional sites to evaluate the safety of the structures. After
discussions held during site visits to Wayfarers Chapel, on February 15, 2024, the
leadership of that facility chose to voluntarily close access to the site to address the
shifting conditions. The Building Division has visited the Portuguese Bend Nursery School
and determined that facility is safe to continue operations.
To date, the City’s Building Official has red-tagged two homes in the Seaview
neighborhood due to structural damage sustained as a result of land movement. No other
structures have been yellow- or red-tagged within the landslide complex which limits
and/or prohibits occupancy. It is the City’s obligation to ensure and protect public health
and safety. Accordingly, site and building inspections will occur when warranted with
voluntary compliance, unless an inspection warrant is deemed necessary.
The City Council is being asked to receive and file an update on building inspections in
the Landslide Complex.
Portuguese Bend Landslide Remediation Project and Associated Grants
On February 20, 2024, Staff presented the City Council with an update on the final
engineering and final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Portuguese Bend
Landslide Remediation Project (Project), which consists of the following components:
• Infill surface fractures (fissures) to prevent storm water runoff from easily becoming
part of groundwater.
• Install surface drainage systems, including natural swales, to convey storm water
runoff to the ocean and prevent it from becoming part of the groundwater.
• Install hydraugers to extract underground artesian water and reduce pressure to
slow down landslide movement.
In light of current conditions in the Landslide Complex, the City Council directed Staff to
11
expedite the final EIR and complete final engineering based on the original concept
design rather than re-analyzing the project to determine if changes could be made to
reduce environmental impact of the project. This approach does not preclude future
changes to the design to reduce the environmental impact.
The City’s EIR consultant, LSA has been working on completing the Final EIR while the
City’s design consultant, Geo-Logic Associates (GLA), has been working on completing
the final engineering. Based on the progress to date, Staff expects to present the final
engineering documents and the Final EIR for the City Council’s consideration in May
2024.
Upon certification of the Final EIR and approval of the final engineering documents, the
permitting process will begin. Staff have already been holding meetings with some permit
agencies, including the California Coastal Commission,the California Department of Fish
and Wildlife, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife to alert them of the dire conditions being faced
and request that they expedite permits. Meetings with other permit agencies such as the
Regional Water Quality Control Board and the United States Army Corps of Engineers
will be scheduled shortly. Based on early discussions with the various permit agencies
and the State of Emergency proclaimed by the Governor, Staff expects the permitting
process with these agencies to be significantly expedited. An estimate of the duration of
permitting is still being developed.
In January 2023, the City submitted an application to the Federal Emergency
Management Agency’s (FEMA) Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC)
FY22 cycle grant program to fund 70%, or $23 million, of the project’s estimated cost of
approximately $33 million. The BRIC program requires the balance of the project cost to
be funded through non-federal sources.
The City’s BRIC grant was vetted, and subsequently submitted to FEMA by the California
Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (CalOES), the administrators of the grant for
California on behalf of FEMA. On August 28, 2023, FEMA announced the selection of
124 projects, from a total of 803 applications, for the BRIC National Competition, including
the City’s project with $23 million being allocated, not obligated, for the City’s project . This
means that the projects met the basic eligibility requirements and enter the next phase of
the awards review process. This includes a programmatic review before making a final
funding decision. The review process, including environmental, is expected to have a
duration of two to three years, at which point funding would be obligated. The final step
in the process leading up to construction is the solicitation of construction bids, which is
expected to have a duration of up to three months including advertising of the project and
execution of a construction contract. City Staff are meeting regularly with the CalOES and
FEMA project team to ensure the review process is proceeding seamlessly and to identify
any potential measures to expedite the process to allow remediation work to stabilize the
landslide sooner than later.
Additionally, on February 20, 2024, the office of Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice
Hahn pledged $5 million towards the City’s landslide remediation.
Separate from the BRIC grant, the City applied for a Legislative Pre -Disaster Mitigation
12
(LPDM) grant. The City was selected for a $2 million dollar LPDM grant through Senator
Feinstein’s Office. Because the 30% funding match for the BRIC grant cannot be from
other federal sources, the LPDM grant is being applied towards the Palos Verdes Drive
South at Peppertree Drive Drainage Project. This project will rebuild the drainage system
in the area to convey stormwater runoff to the ocean rather than allow it to infiltrate into
the ground and contribute to land movement, as it currently does.
The City Council is being asked to receive and file an update on the Portuguese Bend
Landslide Remediation Project and associated grants.
Emergency Measures for the Portuguese Bend Landslide
Due to the alarming increase in the rate of land movement in the Landslide Complex, the
City is developing plans to implement certain components of the Portuguese Bend
Landslide Remediation Project discussed above as emergency stabilization measures.
GLA recommends the immediate installation of Hydrauger A1 from the Portuguese Bend
Landslide Remediation Project, to extract artesian water creating pressure and
contributing to land movement, as the most beneficial immediately available action (see
map below). However, because of the current rate of movement, GLA recommends
relocating Hydrauger A1 to the turn-out area adjacent to the formerly known Gateway
Park, adjacent to PVDS. This is because the area is stable, easily accessible from PVDS,
and drainage lines can be efficiently directed to Klondike canyon where they continue into
a pipe under PVDS. This new location is now referred to as Hydrauger E1 as shown in
Exhibit 1 (see map below). In advance of this work, borings will need to be taken in vicinity
of the hydrauger arrays to validate modelling calculations. (Attachment C)
Additionally, GLA also recommends the immediate installation of Hydrauger A2 from the
Portuguese Bend Landslide Remediation Project, or another array in very close proximity
as shown in Exhibit 2, to help capture water that has infiltrated into the ground at the top
of the Portuguese Bend Landslide. This hydrauger array is now referred to as Hydrauger
E2 as shown in Exhibit 1. (Attachment C)

Exhibit 1: Conceptual Locations of Hydraugers E1 and E2
Attached are the project plans for the proposed emergency work (Attachment C). If
approved this evening, Staff will bring the construction contract for the City Council’s
consideration at its April 2, 2024 meeting. If the construction contract is approved,
construction is anticipated to begin in May. The estimated cost to install Hydraugers E1
and E2 is a total of approximately $8 million.
In considering funding options for the proposed emergency work, a criterion of the BRIC
grant is that work cannot commence in the project boundary until final award of the grant
because it could change the benefit-cost analysis (BCA), which is a fundamental criterion
of the grant evaluation. Proposed Hydraugers E1 and E2 are proposed to extend into the
project boundary to be most effective and could change the BCA. Therefore, the City has
requested that FEMA allow the Portuguese Bend Landslide Remediation P roject
boundaries to be re-drawn accordingly and the BCA to be re-calculated. On March 11,
2024, the City was notified that FEMA agreed to this request, which means that
proceeding with implementation of Hydraugers E1 and E2 as emergency work does not
eliminate the Portuguese Bend Landslide project from BRIC grant award eligibility.
However, FEMA also notified the City that Hydraugers E1 and E2 are not eligible for
funding through FEMA’s hazard mitigation assistance grant programs, including the BRIC
grant. But that doesn’t preclude the emergency work from being funded through other
assistance programs.
Alternatively, the FEMA disaster recovery program is a potential avenue for receiving
reimbursement for the costs of Hydraugers E1 and E2, which are estimated be in the
range of a total cost around $8 million.
On February 4, 2024, Los Angeles County and the Governor both proclaimed a State of
14
Emergency due to the early February 2024 atmospheric river. The early February 2024
storms may also become a federal disaster, in which case emergency stabilization
measures may be eligible for funding. In light of this, the City collaborated with ACLAD
and KCLAD to submit cost estimates for its Initial Damage Estimate (IDE) on our local
response and recovery to the storms. The IDE was submitted to Los Angeles County
Office of Emergency Management (LACOEM) for inclusion in the County’s Preliminary
Damage Assessment (PDA) that was submitted to CalOES.
Among other response and recovery costs, t he City’s IDE requested disaster recovery
funds from CalOES and FEMA for Hydraugers E1 and E2 as well as the re-grading of
PVDS, depending on which category is included in the federal disaster proclamation, if
there is one.
The City is also exploring amending the January-March 2023 winter storms
reimbursement request to FEMA as part of the Governor’s State of Emergency and the
President’s proclaimed Federal Disaster, in the event that the early February 2024 storms
are not declared a federal disaster. The amendment would be on the basis that the
damages were incurred as a result of the January-March 2023 winter storms, but that the
extent of those damages and emergency measures did not become clearly known until
after the initial damages were submitted by the City.
Staff is exploring other funding reimbursement options such as the $5 million pledge by
Los Angeles County Supervisor Janice Hahn or applying congressionally directed
spending grants (if they do not conflict with FEMA requirements).
The City Council is being asked to approve the plans for Hydraugers E1 and E2 this
evening. Should the City Council approve the plans, Staff will obtain bids and present a
construction contract to the City Council for approval consideration on April 2, 2024. While
Staff continues to explore other grant funding sources, an additional appropriation of
approximately $8 million from the Capital Infrastructure Program (CIP) Fund will also be
requested on April 2, 2024 to initiate the project immediately. The CIP’s estimated
unallocated fund balance at the end of FY 2023-24 is $25.4 million. Any grant sources
received in the future will replenish the CIP Fund.
ACLAD and KCLAD Assistance
ACLAD and KCLAD, which are Geologic Hazard Abatement Districts (GHADs), were
created with the authority and responsibility to address and mitigate land movement within
their boundaries. These GHADs are governmental districts, independent of the City,
formed for the prevention, mitigation, abatement, or control of a “geologic hazard”, which
is defined as an actual or threatened landslide, land subsidence, soil erosion, earthquake,
fault movement, or any other natural or unnatural movement of land or earth. The GHADS
have the ability to assess properties within their districts to fund their activities.
To date, the City has been coordinating very closely with the GHADs on their various
mitigation activities. Due to the severity of the emergency, Staff recommends that the City
Council direct Staff to directly assist ACLAD and KCLAD by providing in-kind services
such as geology, engineering, and project management; as well as financial assistance
15
in the form of no-interest loans or grants.
KCLAD shared with Staff a proposed 5-step plan to significantly reduce movement in the
Klondike Canyon landslide with a cost estimated by KCLAD to be $5.4 million (Attachment
D). Staff recommends that the City Council direct Staff to explore how the City could
provide financial assistance to KCLAD to implement this plan and return with details for
the City Council’s approval consideration on April 2, 2024. Staff recommends that the
financial assistance be conditioned upon the plan being endorsed by a licens ed
geotechnical engineering company as assurance that the plan will achieve its intended
goals. Staff is expecting a similar plan from ACLAD and recommends the same approach.
Any financial assistance, at approximately $3 million in total, considered by the City would
be funded from the estimated unallocated fund balance of $25.4 million in the CIP Fund.
ACLAD and KCLAD are requesting reimbursement for as part of the disaster declarations
noted earlier in this report. As political subdivisions of the State, the GHADs are eligible
for such funding. Additionally, the GHADs are exploring County, State, and Fe deral
funding assistance, including grants.
Finally, it is important to note that KCLAD has indicated to Staff that they are investigating
an increase in assessments of properties in the district to replenish their reserves.
The City Council is being asked to direct Staff to return on April 2, 2024 with details of
funding assistance to the GHADs, contingent upon their landslide mitigation plans being
endorsed by a licensed geotechnical engineering company.
State of Emergency Declaration
On February 20, 2024, the City Council authorized the Mayor to request the Governor
declare a State of Emergency by suspending and/or waiving certain state requirements
for work to stabilize the Landslide Complex due to the immediate threat to public safety,
and consider requesting the President declare a Federal Emergency Disaster. Such a
declaration would allow the City to streamline or bypass permitting for measures to reduce
land movement.
The City submitted the request to the Governor, following the process of submitting the
request to the LACOEM, who then submits the request to CalOES on behalf of the City.
The City did not request financial assistance as part of the request to the Governor
because such a request would take the Governor’s Office a significant amount of time to
process and time is of the essence for the emergency work to commence immediately to
stabilize the area due to the immediate threat to public safety.
On February 23, 2024, City Staff met with the Director of CalOES, Nancy Ward; her staff;
the Director of LACOEM, Kevin McGowan; and his staff, to discuss the City’s request. It
was at this virtual meeting that the City was notified that the City’s request was covered
under the February 4, 2024 State of Emergency proclaimed by the Governor for 8
counties, including Los Angeles County. City Staff was informed that state permitting
requirements were relaxed and/or suspended, and would follow emergency orders f or
work needed to stabilize the landslide.
16
At the February 20 meeting, the City Council also directed staff to have a joint letter signed
by the City’s county, state and federal representatives supporting the City’s request for
the Governor to declare a state of emergency and to request a federal disaster to be
declared. While collecting signatures for the joint letter, the letter was no longer needed
because a determination by the Governor was made.
As previously reported, in response to the February 2024 storms, the city submitted an
IDE to the LACOEM, detailing the financial impact on both the City as well as ACLAD and
KCLAD. This submission is required to be considered for federal assistance related to the
February 2024 storms via FEMA. While the approval process is ongoing, the City is
diligently documenting preliminary expenses related to landslide stabilization efforts
aimed at protecting life and property. It is anticipated that the Governor will seek a federal
disaster declaration once the County's comprehensive preliminary damage assessment
(PDA) surpasses the necessary threshold.
Should a federal disaster be declared, FEMA offers two principal types of assistance
following major disasters The first is Individual Assistance (IA) which supports directly
impacted households and businesses through various means, including grants for
temporary housing and emergency home repairs. The U.S. Small Business
Administration also offers low-interest disaster loans to help individuals and businesses
recover from the disaster. The second is Public Assistance (PA) which focuses on
repairing or replacing damaged public facilities and infrastructure, with FEMA covering at
least 75% of eligible costs and the remaining portion shared by state and local
governments. The PA program aims to restore essential services and infrastructure to
their pre-disaster condition.
The City Council is being asked to receive and file this update report on the City’s request
to the Governor to declare a State of Emergency for the Greater Portuguese Bend
Landslide Complex
Extension of the Local Emergency Declaration
On October 3, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2023-47 declaring a local
emergency. The emergency declaration is deemed to continue to exist until its termination
is proclaimed by the City Council in accordance with law. Government Code § 8630
requires the City Council to review of the need for continuing the local emergency at least
once every 60 days until the City Council determines the local emergency within the
geographic boundaries of the Landslide Complex has been abated or mitigated to
insignificance. At this time, the City Council is being asked to extend the local emergency
declaration an additional 60 days through May 18, 2024, which does not require a public
hearing. The state of emergency was continued by the City Council on Novembe r 14,
2023, pursuant to Resolution No. 2023-56, again on December 19, 2023, pursuant to
Resolution No. 2023-61, and again on February 6, 2024, pursuant to Resolution No.
2024-05. If extended this evening, the Council would consider renewing the local
emergency declaration again during the next landslide update on May 07, 2024.
The City Council is being asked to adopt Resolution No. 2024 -__ thereby extending the
17
Declaration of Local Emergency by 60 days (Attachment A).
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Coordination with the City of Rolling Hills
The Flying Triangle Landslide (FTL) in the City of Rolling Hills is one of the five landslides
that make up the greater Landslide Complex. The FTL is situated above the KCL and
drains into Klondike Canyon. City officials from Rolling Hills are participating in the weekly
Working Group Meetings and are coordinating with their team. Both cities are
coordinating approaching the land movement wholistically. As more information becomes
available from Rolling Hills, it will be conveyed to the City Council and at future Working
Group meetings.
It should be noted that City Staff have stressed to Rolling Hills officials the importance of
addressing the FTL in terms of studying the current hydrological conditions of Klondike
Canyon within the entire watershed and collectively developing remediation measures.
Public Outreach
The public was made aware of tonight’s agenda item through the City’s listserv, as well
as an update at the March 13 Landslide Working Group meeting. Some public comments
have already been received requesting the City Council’s support of KCLAD’s 5-step
project and to support other landslide remediation efforts (Attachment F). Any additional
comments received after publication of this staff report will be provided to the City Council
as late correspondence. The public can submit comments via email to cc@rpvca.gov.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends that the City Council receive and file an update on landslide conditions
and activities to mitigate landslide movement and adopt the attached rResolution
continuing the local landslide emergency declaration by 60 days until May 18, 2024. Staff
also recommends that the City Council approve concept plans for installation of two
emergency stabilization hydrauger arrays with associated work, and return at the April 2,
2024 City Council meeting for approval consideration of a construction contract. Finally,
Staff recommends that the City Council direct Staff to explore assisting the Abalone Cove
Landslide Abatement District and the Klondike Canyon Landslide Abatement District with
in-kind services and financial assistance in the form of a loan for landslide mitigation
measures prepared by a licensed geotechnical engineering company and return to the
April 2, 2024 meeting for the City Council’s consideration.
ALTERNATIVES:
In addition to Staff’s discussed option, the following alternative actions are available for
the City Council’s consideration:
1. Take no action and simply receive and file this report.
2. Do not approve the plans, specifications, and construction documents for installation of
two emergency hydraugers to stabilize the Portuguese Bend Landslide.
3. Take such other action as the Council deems appropriate.

RE: Update on Land Movement Conditions Within the Greater Portuguese Bend
Landslide Complex, Rancho Palos Verdes
DATE: March 15, 2024
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The following information was prepared in response to the City’s request for an update on current land
movement conditions, observations, and our activities over the past month within the Greater
Portuguese Bend Landslide Complex (Landslide Complex). The Landslide Complex encompasses four
historically active landslide areas: the Portuguese Bend Landslide (PBL), the Abalone Cove Landslide
(ACL), the Klondike Canyon Landslide (KCL), and the Beach Club Landslide (BCL). However, it also
includes areas outside of the historical boundaries of those known landslides, predominantly uphill
from the Portuguese Bend and Abalone Cove landslides, within the Ancient Portuguese Bend
Landslide Complex as mapped by various agencies (i.e., U.S. Geological Survey, California Geological
Survey) and other researchers.
Since our presentation to the City Council on February 6, 2023, we have conducted additional field
mapping throughout the Landslide Complex, including areas within the Portuguese Bend, Filiorum
and Abalone Cove Reserves, and made specific visits to Kelvin Canyon, properties along Vanderlip
Road, and the Wayfarer’s Chapel property. We have also participated in the weekly Portuguese Bend
Landslide Complex Working Group meetings, provided input to OSM staff related to non-native brush
removal and habitat restoration projects, reviewed additional survey and rainfall data, and
corresponded with Wayfarer’s Chapel’s geotechnical consultant. We have also responded to numerous
interview requests from regional newspapers, radio stations, and both local and national television
media outlets.
Rainfall and the accompanying infiltration and runoff into the Landslide Complex continue to
adversely affect the landslide area. The 2023-24 season rainfall total was 7.23 inches through January
31, 2024 (Rolling Hills Fire Station 56 ALERT gauge); however, 8.29 inches of rain fell over the following
week, raising the season total to 15.52 inches through February 9, 2024. February’s total rainfall was
11.22 inches, the second wettest February in the 69-year history of this rain gauge (February 1998 being
the wettest). The current season rainfall total is 19.73 inches, about 145% of the season average over the
past 69 years.
B-1
SC6163 2
Our previous update (CSA 1/29/24) noted that average land movement velocities within the Landslide
Complex from October 10, 2023 to January 10, 2024 had accelerated by a factor of 3x to 4x compared to
the previous 12-month (Oct 2022-Oct 2023) monitoring period. This movement continues to manifest
at the ground surface in the form of landslide scarps, fissures, grabens/sinkholes, tensional cracking,
shear zones and thrust features. The ground movement features have continued to enlarge, expand,
widen, or grow depending on the type of feature and location.
Preliminary GPS survey data prepared by McGee Surveying Consulting, covering the period January
10-March 12, 2024 were recently received in raw form (i.e., Excel spreadsheet) and have been
preliminarily reviewed. The data generally indicate that land movement velocities within the
Landslide Complex have accelerated an additional 1.3x to 2.2x compared to the movement velocities in
the October 2023-January 2024 timeframe. The acceleration appears to be greatest in the Abalone Cove
Landslide (2.2x) and areas upslope of it in the Ancient Portuguese Bend Landslide (2.1x). The lowest
acceleration (1.3x) was for points in the Klondike Canyon Landslide. Ground movement survey data
were also received and reviewed for separate monitoring surveys performed on the Wayfarer’s Chapel
property between November 28, 2023 and January 27, 2024. These data indicate an acceleration of
movement velocities on that property from the December 2023 to January 2024 readings and total land
movement of 0.20 to 1.41 feet over the two-month monitoring period. This land movement is
predominantly outside of the known western boundary of the Abalone Cove Landslide and appears to
be reactivation of a portion of the mapped Ancient Portuguese Bend Landslide Complex.
Road conditions on Palos Verdes Drive South (PVDS) continue to deteriorate in response to the
accelerated land movement. The most severe area requiring immediate and significant remedial
measures is the colloquially known “ski jump” at the west margin of the PBL. The ski jump area is
impacted by differential movement between the Abalone Cove Landslide west of the ski jump and the
Western Subslide of the PBL east of the ski jump. The Western Subslide of the PBL is moving about 1.9
times faster than the portion of the ACL that is overriding the Portuguese Point promontory. The road
displacement is occurring at the side scarp of the Western Subslide of the PBL. GPS monitoring point
PB-70 is located approximately 80 feet southeast of this side scarp within the landslide lobe and is a
reasonable proxy for land movement that is affecting the ski jump area of PVDS. PB-70 has moved
nearly 15 feet horizontally and 5.5 feet vertically since 2015, and in the past five months alone it has
moved 6.03 feet horizontally and 0.47 feet vertically (downward).
The landslide is too deep in this area to consider permanent structural solutions such as shear pins,
soldier piles with tiebacks, etc. Because the elevation difference at this landslide boundary is increasing
so rapidly, the need for regrading of the road in this area is apparent. We have discussed alternative
approaches for this grading with the City’s staff and other consultant teams, including the use of
Geofoam blocks or lightweight cellular concrete in lieu of compacted fill material (because it adds
substantially less driving force to the landslide), use of geogrid or other geotextiles in the road subgrade
(to reduce pavement deformation), and lowering of the grade on the west side of the ski jump (cut
grading). These measures are temporary and may reduce the road deformation at the ski jump area;
however, the need for continuing maintenance should be expected given the current rate of land
movement.
B-2
SC6163 3
In summary, our findings continue to be that a large portion of the Ancient Portuguese Bend Landslide
Complex above the historically mapped PBL, ACL and KCL boundaries is involved in significant active
landslide movement that is impacting trails, roads, private property and infrastructure. The current
area of major landslide movement involves approximately 675 acres of land. Please see Figure 1,
attached, for updated mapping of ground features and current limits of major landslide movement
superimposed on a February 12, 2024 orthophoto of the area. Figure 2, attached, presents the same
mapping information on a hillshade topographic map.

Mr. and Mrs. Booth,
Thank you for taking the time to express your concerns and request funding assistance for the
work to be performed by the Klondike Canyon Landslide Abatement District (KCLAD). The Mayor
and City Councilmembers are in receipt of your email and similar emails from your neighbors,
and share your concerns.
As you may know, KCLAD was formed in 1981 as a Geologic Hazard Abatement District (GHAD),
the second in California (the first being the Abalone Cove Landslide Abatement District
((ACLAD)). KCLAD’s charter is to mitigate and remediate land movement using funds generated
by property owner assessments. Over the years, KCLAD has managed the landslide primarily
using dewatering wells. With the recent increased rate of movement, KCLAD has repaired and
installed dewatering wells, as well as developed a 5 step plan.
The City has been working closely with KCLAD’s Board of Directors to assist in the
implementation of these landslide mitigation measures. The City has also been assisting
KCLAD to seek financial assistance from governmental programs such as Disaster Recovery
Assistance and Congressional Project Grants. You may want to consider contacting your
County, State and Federal representatives as well stressing the importance for their support.
While this may take time, due to the urgent situation and the Local State of Emergency
proclaimed by the City Council on October 3, 2023, at the upcoming March 19 meeting, the City
Council will consider assisting KCLAD with in-kind services (engineering, etc.) and financial
assistance in the form of a loan.
The Staff Report will be published Friday afternoon, and can be accessed on the City’s website
at the following link:

Your email will be attached to the March 19 Staff Report for the Council’s consideration.

Hello, Mayor Cruikshank, my name is Evelyn Booth.My husband, Curt, and myself are long-time residents of Portuguese Bend Beach Clubin Rancho Palos Verdes, CA. As you are likely aware, the beautiful community we livein, as well as our own personal home, have been greatly affected by the landslide thatcontinues to intensify in our area. Sadly, we are now experiencing almost weeklyevents on our property that are extremely costly and time consuming to repair. Theyinclude: broken concrete in multiple locations on the sides and front of our home;indoor and outdoor gates and entry doors that no longer operate correctly; warpedflooring; cracked drywall; fences that are moving and are at risk of falling over; and thelist goes on.
As taxpayers in this community, we need your help and we need it quickly. OurGeological Hazard Abatement District (Klondike Canyon Geologic Hazard AbatementDistrict) and Homeowners Association have worked tirelessly to put together a 5-stepplan of action (attached) to help mitigate the landslide that is putting all our homes atrisk. PLEASE TAKE IMMEDIATE ACTION.
Several homes in our area are already red tagged and many more are at risk. Asmentioned above, Klondike Canyon Geologic Hazard Abatement District (KCGHAD)has outlined and submitted the projects that need to be funded in order to save 107homes in the Klondike slide zone. We are in desperate need of your assistance as weare awaiting approval of these funds. The longer we wait, the more houses we willlose. We are asking for your prompt attention to this important issue so that we canensure the safety of the citizens and our homes in this area.
Your quick response to this matter and assistance in securing aid is greatlyappreciated!

Dear Mayor Cruikshank,
I am writing to you representing Betty Helford and the entire Helford family, long-time residents
of Portuguese Bend Club within Rancho Palos Verdes – currently owning 127 & 129 Spindrift,
former owners of 120 and 122 Spindrift. Before his death in August 2022, Irwin Helford along
with his wife, Betty, were very active in the community supporting the PV Performing Arts Center
and many local charities. Betty spends most of her time now at 127 Spindrift and is 91 years old
with limited mobility and round the clock care. While everyone in the community is of course
concerned with the acceleration of land movement, it would be extremely difficult for Mrs.
Helford to relocate at her age should immediate steps to improve the situation not be taken.
Our Geological Hazard Abatement District (Klondike Canyon Geologic Hazard Abatement
District) and PBC Homeowners Association have worked tirelessly to put together a 5-step plan
of action to help mitigate the landslide that is putting all our homes at risk. A quick summary of
the KCGHAD Plan Forward is attached.
Several homes in our area are already red tagged and many more are at risk. As mentioned

Date:Thursday, March 14, 2024 9:14:39 PM

Hi Tashia,
Thank you for taking the time to attend last night’s Council meeting.
As you know, water is the culprit to the land movement. In October, after the City Council
proclaimed a Local State of Emergency, the City issued orders requesting residents in the
Landslide area to stop irrigating and to hand water plants on occasion to prevent over
saturation. This was not a mandate nor is the City penalizing residents for non-compliance. The
intent, again, was to minimize ground saturation.
You can look at it both ways when comparing hand watering to automated sprinklers.
For that reason, we are asking residents to use good judgment.
The ground is saturated from all the rain we received, so I suggest taking a break from watering.
You will save on your water bill and help prevent the ground from becoming overly saturated.
I hope this response helps, and if not, let me know if you have any follow up questions.

EXTERNAL EMAIL: Do not click links or open any attachments unless you recognize the sender and know the

Conflicting information and communication from the city and CalWater has been
circulating over the last year regarding homeowners' use of automatic or drip watering
systems and permissible days and time. Following receipt of the Mandatory Water
Restrictions Notice within the bounds of the “Landslide Complex”, it is unclear whether
we are still not allowed to use any automatic sprinklers or drip watering systems.
It seems illogical and impractical to only allow hand watering. That wastes everyone’s
time, does not control how much water is put into the ground, and can easily add more
water to the ground than if a homeowner were to set their automatic sprinklers and/or
drip sprinkler system to water for less than 10 minutes two or three times a week.
Depending on the topography and size, some yards are not feasible to hand water.
Allowing plants to die due to lack of water will also increase the fire risk in our area.
In addition, much of the soil around here is adobe clay. That is similar to the conditions in
the “soils” area of South Torrance. Since most of us have slab foundations, I thought that
it was advisable to keep the soil evenly moist around our homes to limit the amount of
cracks in our foundations and walls from the expansion and contraction of the soil.
Can you please further advise in detail regarding this matter? It has become a community
question and debate among our neighbors here at PBC.

Dear Mayor Cruikshank,
Before I ask for a few minutes of your time, I want to thank you for your service tothe City of Rancho Palos Verdes. As a former elected public official myself, Iunderstand and appreciate the time and resources you spend on your constituents’
behalf!
I am a homeowner in the Portuguese Bend Beach Club (PBC) in Rancho Palos Verdes.I have family members who have lived in PBC since the 1970s, and currently both my
brother and a cousin own homes in this special community. We all are extremelyconcerned, and frankly, scared, about what is happening to our homes and greatercommunity.
As you know and as has been reported in the Los Angeles Times and beyond, our
particular area of the Palos Verdes Peninsula has experienced unprecedented landmovement. Several homes in our vicinity are already red tagged and many more are
at risk of significant damage. Our doors no longer close quite right, the pavementcontinues to buckle and new cracks are noticeable weekly, and there are homes thathave suffered much more damage. The main road that provides access to my elderly
parents appears to shift daily, causing frequent repairs to ensure the safety of themany cars that use this thoroughfare connecting the cities on the Peninsula.
It is not too late to take action to mitigate the harm caused by the land
movement. Attached is a 5-step plan of action developed and submitted by the
F-16
Klondike Canyon Geologic Hazard Abatement District (KCGHAD) to address themovement that is putting all our homes at risk. But the cost of implementing this
action plan is exorbitant and beyond the financial means of individual homeowners. We desperately need the government’s financial help to avoid imminent disaster in this
area.
Typically, FEMA has provided financial assistance to homeowners AFTER they have
been adversely impacted by disasters. Here, we know we have a disaster in progress-- doesn't it make sense to get FEMA assistance NOW to try to STOP the disaster from
getting worse? Please help us obtain disaster relief as soon as possible when it can stillbe prevented, instead of after the fact when it is too late.
HOW YOU CAN HELP: Please continue to advocate on our behalf to obtain governmentfunding to at least save the 107 homes in the Klondike area. The longer we wait to get
funding, the more homes we will lose.
Thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this important issue and youradvocacy on your constituents' behalf so that we can all ensure the safety of the
citizens and homes in this area.

Robin,
Thank you for taking the time to express your concerns and request funding assistance for the
work to be performed by the Klondike Canyon Landslide Abatement District (KCLAD). The Mayor
and City Councilmembers are in receipt of your email and similar emails from your neighbors,
and they share your concerns.
As you may know, KCLAD was formed in 1981 as a Geologic Hazard Abatement District (GHAD),
the second in California (the first being the Abalone Cove Landslide Abatement District
((ACLAD)). KCLAD’s charter is to mitigate and remediate land movement using funds generated
by property owner assessments. Over the years, KCLAD has managed the landslide primarily
using dewatering wells. With the recent increased rate of movement, KCLAD has repaired and
installed dewatering wells, as well as developed a 5 step plan.
The City has been working closely with KCLAD’s Board of Directors to assist in the
implementation of these landslide mitigation measures. The City has also been assisting
KCLAD to seek financial assistance from governmental programs such as Disaster Recovery
Assistance and Congressional Project Grants. You may want to consider contacting your
County, State and Federal representatives as well stressing the importance for their support.
While this may take time, due to the urgent situation and the Local State of Emergency
proclaimed by the City Council on October 3, 2023, at the upcoming March 19 meeting, the City
Council will consider assisting KCLAD with in-kind services (engineering, etc.) and financial
assistance in the form of a loan.
The Staff Report will be published Friday afternoon, and can be accessed on the City’s website
at the following link:

Your email will be attached to the March 19 Staff Report for the Council’s consideration.

Dear Mayor Cruikshank,
Nearly 40 years ago my parents, Don and Dorothy Pierson purchased a humble
cottage in the Portuguese Bend Club in Rancho Palos Verdes. My father grew up in
San Pedro, starting one of the first trash pickup services in the area. It had always
been his dream to live at the beach.
Though well into their golden years, hard work and creativity were in my parents’
DNA. For years, they worked to make that simple cottage a magical gathering spot for
our family. Using Palos Verdes stone inside and out, they created a whimsical, one-of-
a-kind home where they welcomed their children and grandchildren.
With the recent accelerated land movement, the stonework they painstakingly
cemented into place is being ripped apart. Unless the movement is mitigated, the
house Don and Dot hoped would welcome their descendants for generations, could
crumble.
My neighbors’ homes face the same fate. Several homes in our area are already red
tagged and many more are threatened. However, our Geological Hazard Abatement
District (Klondike Canyon Geologic Hazard Abatement District) and Homeowners
Association have worked tirelessly to put together a 5-step plan of action to help
mitigate the landslide that is putting all our homes at risk. That plan is attached.
We are in desperate need of your assistance as we are awaiting approval of the funds
needed to save the homes in the Klondike slide zone. The longer we wait, the more
houses we will lose. We are asking for your prompt attention to ensure the safety of
F-19
citizens who live and recreate in the area and to avoid catastrophic property losses.
Your quick response to this matter and assistance in receiving aid is greatly
appreciated!
Thank you,
Robin Pierson

Dear Mayor Cruikshank,
As a resident of the Portuguese Bend Club, I am writing to ask for your intervention to
secure the funds needed to save our community. Obviously, you are aware of the
tremendous problems we have faced due to the heavy rains of 2023 and 2024. The
landslides have affected us all in a most disastrous way.
Our community engineers, with the help of numerous others, have researched and
developed a 5 point plan to save our homes and our community. The plan has been
discussed in depth with the residents here and we are in total support of it.
Thus, I am asking you to help us fund the project. Your love of our community is very clear
so I feel confident that you have our backs and will do what you can to support this
funding.
Thank you.

Carole,
We are doing everything possible to identify outside funding sources to help stabilize our
unprecedented Land Flow movement in the Ancient Land Flow complex. We are also trying to
ensure that we have identified effective technical solutions to help remove, and prevent
recharging, of the slip-plane water table. I know it appears that we are not making fast enough
progress, but we are doing everything possible within the Laws and Regulations of the State of
California. We are here to help support KCLAD and will continue to help you identify potential
grant opportunities for additional resources. This is in my mind the #1 issue / priority for the city
and for the Peninsula in general.

Dear Mr. Bradley,
As a resident of RPB I am asking for your support to obtain funds to help those of us who
have been affected by the recent land movement due to the extreme rains in 2023 and
2024.
RPB is in desperate need of funds to help slow and stop the land movement due to the
extreme and unprecedented rains from last year and into 2024.
Our home has been damaged and several homes have already been red tagged. Our
community has a very specific 5 point plan to address these issues and what we need
now is the money to move forward. The Klondike Canyon Geological Hazard Abatement
District has projects ready to be funded to save the 107 homes in the Klondike slide zone.
Please help us and make this request a priority.
Thank you.

Dear City Manager Mihranian:
My family owns the home at 130 Spindrift Drive, Rancho Palos Verdes, CA 90275.
As I am sure you are aware, Klondike Canyon Geological Hazard Abatement District
(KCGHAD) has A 5-STEP PLAN ready to be funded to save the 107 homes in the Klondike
slide zone. KCGHAD is just waiting on the money needed to complete those projects.
The longer we wait, the more houses we will lose. Please help us secure FEMA funding
ASAP.
These plans are not aspirational, or over engineered, they are well thought out by people
with boots on the ground. They will work!
My family has lived in this area for close to 70 years. My father was raised in RPV. My
brother and I were raised here in RPV, and visited my grandparents at 130 Spindrift every
day after school.
My 95- year old grandmother now lives in this home. She will not leave for an assisted
F-30
care community because this is where the memories she still has live.
This area isn't just a pretty area or a nice drive, it is where people have put down roots.
This area is where families have found each other, loved each other and have been there
for each other.
Please aid us in gaining access to any state, federal or other government funds to aid in
protecting this beloved area and community.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this important issue.
Feel free to call or email me anytime at (310) 941-5718 or wwillens@gmail.com.

William “Alex” Willens
