BACKGROUND:
Each year, the City Council establishes City Council Goals (Goals), which are policies
and programs that are prioritized over and above normal city operations. These Goals
provide a clear plan for the Council and staff to focus the City’s resources on throughout
the fiscal year.
Each quarter, the City Council and the public receive a status update on these Goals,
providing a forum for discussion and change in direction if needed. On June 3, 2025,
Staff presented the fourth quarter update on the FY 2024-25 Goals and the proposed FY
2025-26 Goals that City Council vetted during a Goals workshop on March 17, 2025.
11
Tonight, Staff presents a first quarter update (between July and September 2025) on
those FY 2025-26 Goals for discussion, and to receive and file by the City Council.
DISCUSSION:
FY 2025-26 Goals – First Quarter Status Report
The FY 2025-26 City Council Goals remain unchanged from the prior year and include
the following:
1. Public Safety
2. Public Infrastructure
3. City Lands and Facilities
4. Citizen Involvement
5. Quality of Life
These Goals are comprised of 15 Projects with 46 subtasks, which are all underway. Of
these 15 Projects, 6 are In Progress (without any barriers to completion), 5 Need
Attention, and 4 are At Risk due to various circumstances outlined in this report.
It should be noted that Staff recently added the “Needs Attention” category to provide
greater clarity on the status of projects that are not considered “At Risk” but require
additional input or follow-up as they progress.
Details on each Goal and Project are available in the Implementation Plan (Attachment
A) and Gantt chart (Attachment B) that provide a high-level overview of the City’s progress
on each Goal and major Project. Some of the more salient updates are as follows:
Goal 1: Public Safety
Emergency Preparedness and Response – In Progress
• Staff are preparing for several events to strengthen community resilience and
readiness. Events include the Home Hardening Expo (September 27, in partnership
with the Council of Homeowners Associations), the Great ShakeOut Drill (October 16),
the Prepared Peninsula Expo (October 26), the Know Your Zone outreach campaign,
and a Youth Home Hardening Model Contest developed with the Emergency
Preparedness and Youth Advisory Committees.
• To prepare staff for an emergency response, the City is actively preparing for an
Emergency Operations Center (EOC) functional exercise in November 2025, an
update to the Emergency Operations Plan by December 2025, and a Peninsula-wide
22
Joint Hazard Mitigation Plan and Mass Care/Evacuation Plans to be completed by
March 2026.
• These efforts are supported by outside grants that Staff have applied for and/or
received, including a $250,000 Hazard Mitigation grant, $135,000 in federal funding
for mutual aid coordination with Area G cities, and a pending $240,000 Cal Fire grant
application currently under review.
• In addition, staff will begin reviewing the Rancho Palos Verdes Municipal Code in Fall
2025 to explore potential amendments that could enhance fire resiliency by
encouraging fire-resistant building materials and defensible landscaping practices
around homes.
Crime Reduction and Traffic Safety – Needs Attention
• Staff continue to coordinate with the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department (LASD) to
provide targeted crime data, crime suppression and traffic enforcement efforts.
Examples include the recent intensive patrols along the Palos Verdes Drive East
switchbacks to enforce speeding in June and July 2025.
• Since July 2025 LASD has used approximately $4,000 (100 overtime hours) out of a
$70,000 budget for traffic and crime suppression overt-time details, including focused
patrols along PVDE’s Switchbacks; however, deputy staffing shortages often limit
overtime deployment based on availability.
• The City continues to work with individuals and Homeowners Associations (HOAs) to
apply for a Public Safety Reimbursement Program. Recently the City was able to
increase its program budget from $40,000 to $45,000 for FY 2-25-26 to accommodate
additional applicants and also assist with the increase in surveillance camera
maintenance fees paid by HOAs.
Public Safety Division - In Progress
• Staff is implementing the new Public Safety Division through a mix of public outreach,
community meetings, interagency program development with LASD, and staff
recruitment/training.
• Outreach campaigns already launched include “When to Call the Sheriff,” with
additional campaigns (“See Something, Say Something,” “9pm Routine,” and an e-
bike safety campaign with YAC) underway
• The City has hired a Public Safety Manager, two Public Safety Liaisons and a Field
Training Officer and is recruiting a Senior Analyst, with field training started in Summer
2025 and continuing into Winter 2025.
Small Wireless Facilities Master Plan – At Risk
• At this time, 3rd-party wireless carriers are unwilling to participate in the development
of a Master Plan. They are selecting sites for small wireless facilities (SWF) based on
what they consider proprietary criteria.
• However, the City continues to work towards hiring a consultant who can assist with
strategies to improve coverage throughout the City. City Staff is also working with
carriers to modify the City’s Municipal Code to incentivize and facilitate the installation
of additional sites to complete coverage gaps on public (primarily rights-of-way) and
private properties.
33
• The City is coordinating with Crown Castle to facilitate the permitting of 3 SWF by the
end of 2025, with the remaining 9 permit applications expected to be submitted before
the end of the fiscal year.
Goal 2: Public Infrastructure
Portuguese Bend Landslide - At Risk
• Staff continue to operate and maintain the existing deep dewatering wells and perform
2025-26 winterization work; re-scope, engineer, and environmentally clear a modified
long-term mitigation project based on City Council budget approvals. However, this
long-term project is heavily reliant on obtaining outside funding, which staff is actively
applying for through state and federal programs like the FEMA Hazard Mitigation
Grant Program.
Detailed Inventory of the City’s Infrastructure - At Risk
• In prior years, the City completed inventories and maintenance schedules for the
City’s roadways and facilities. The City is now focusing on its storm drain infrastructure
and recently issued a Request for Proposals in September 2025 from qualified
engineering firms to begin this work. Staff anticipate completing this work in June
2026.
• The Staff also planned to complete an inventory for its Sanitary Sewer Infrastructure.
However, staff has had to prioritize emergency repairs to the Abalone Cove Sewer
System, due to landslide damage. Given the ongoing changes, this item is at risk.
Staff will return to this item once land movement has slowed to a manageable level.
Western Avenue Traffic Flow Improvements Project – Needs Attention
• Staff has completed final engineered plans for traffic flow improvements in June 2025.
Next steps include obtaining Caltrans permits and interagency agreements to
complete work, and begin construction by Q3 of FY 2025-26. The City application has
been filed with Caltrans and is under review.
• However, the Due Date is highly dependent on obtaining Caltrans permits, along with
coordinating with Caltrans and City of Los Angeles to implement improvements across
all jurisdictions. At this time, there appears to be little to no risk but is labeled as "Needs
Attention" due the 3rd party dependency.
Goal 3: City Lands and Facilities
Updated Trails Network Plan (TNP) - Needs Attention
• Staff is updating the City's 5 separate trail planning documents into one with updated
trails, user friendly maps, and other features. This work will involve completing
corresponding GIS layers, following by extensive community outreach prior to seeking
City Council approval.
• However, due to extensive staff involvement in completing the separate Wildlife
Corridor CIP Project (which includes a strict deadline issued by the State), the TNP
Due Date has been delayed from 1/2026 to 6/2026.
44
• Furthermore, land movement impacted trails and resulted in closures throughout the
landslide area. Staff will continue to update the draft for unaffected trails and return to
impacted trails after access is restored in the future.
Emergency Operations Center (EOC) (Pre-Planning Phase) – At Risk
• City Council previously directed staff to prioritize the emergency components of the
Civic Center Master Plan in FY 2025-26. This effort includes lifting the federal deed
restrictions on the EOC site and/or securing a time extension to construct (from 4 to 6
years or more), as well as securing outside funding for design and construction.
• Given these hurdles, Staff has re-scoped the Project to focus on pre-Planning tasks,
while removing existing Planning Tasks such as the CEQA review and design
competitions. These will return in future years.
• This Project is "At Risk" as it is highly contingent on the Federal government's
willingness to provide - at a minimum - a time extension, as well as securing several
million dollars to begin planning and construction. Staff is seeking assistance from
our federal representatives on lifting the restrictions or extending the compliance
deadline.
• Furthermore, the Due Date is "TBD" since it is reliant on the Federal government’s
prioritization of this effort.
Acquisition of Coast Guard Properties – Battery Barnes and Lighthouse - Needs
Attention
• The City and its lobbyist have been actively reaching out to the U.S. Coast Guard, the
General Services Administration (GSA), and all Federal legislators to explore the
possibility of acquiring both properties through the National Defense Authorization Act
(NDAA). Several site tours and meetings have been conducted; conversations will be
continuing this year.
• In FY 2025-26, the Project will focus on acquisition. If and when acquired, future fiscal
years will focus on the next Phase that includes planning and construction.
• This Project "Needs Attention" because it is contingent on the Federal government
agreeing to divest these properties. It is not considered "At Risk" since there has been
no indication the Federal government is unwilling to discuss divestiture of the
properties.
• Conversations continue with Wayfarers on relocating its facilities at the Battery Barnes
site through a lease agreement if ownership is transferred to the City by the U.S. Coast
Guard.
Goal 4: Citizen Involvement and Public Outreach
Implement Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) Goals and Programs – In Progress
• The YAC is working towards their goals that include hosting a mental health event for
youth, volunteering at Whale of a Day, participating in conferences (i.e. Contract Cities
in Sacramento), and engaging in legislative advocacy for bills that will benefit the City
and are also supported by Council.
• The YAC appointed 6 new members, and the YAC held their first meeting of the school
year on September 8, 2025. They have begun revisiting their plans and goals for FY
55
2025-26 with emphasis on programs and events. Changes and new ideas may be
forthcoming as the newly formed YAC continues to meet.
Goal 5: Quality of Life
Arterial Walls and Fences Master Plan - In Progress
• Staff continues to update the City's inventory of walls and fences along arterial
roadways, in order to recommend uniform fencing/wall designs and materials moving
forward. A draft is expected to be ready for public input by January 2026.
• Next steps will include presenting these recommendations to a Planning Commission
subcommittee for their input and City Council consideration by June 2026.
Western Avenue Streetscape Beautification Master Plan (Pre-Construction) – Needs
Attention
• Staff completed engineered plans in August 2025 and is working to submit for a
Caltrans permit in September 2025. However, Funding is not currently available due
to investments in landslide mitigation. Staff are actively searching for grant funding
opportunities.
• Given these challenges, Staff rescoped the Project to focus on Pre-Construction this
year, while removing Construction tasks such as procuring a construction contractor
and completing improvements to parkways, bus shelters, street furniture, medians and
crosswalks. These improvements will return when funding is identified.
Support and grow local businesses in RPV - In Progress
• City Council approved a $50,000 budget to continue the Western Avenue Storefront
Improvement Program in FY 2025-26. In the first quarter, Staff opened Round No. 3
of grant applications that will be reviewed and awarded in November 2025. Last fiscal
year, the City opened 2 rounds of applications and awarded 4 grants totaling $53,000.
Enhance Fiscal Sustainability to support City operations and capital projects - In
Progress
• Staff has been researching and implementing tools and strategies to strengthen the
City's fiscal sustainability, as directed by the City Council. For example, the City
formed a Fiscal Sustainability Council Subcommittee to strategize on these efforts,
adopted a Master Fee Schedule with an annual 3% Consumer Price Index (CPI) on
all fees, adopted a Landscaping and Lighting Maintenance District Assessment, and
issued an Request for Proposal to conduct a Community Needs Survey.
• Staff is now preparing to issue an Request For Qualifications (RFQ) in September to
conduct a Developer Impact Fee study.
In prior years, the City has provided City Council Goals updates on a quarterly basis.
However, the City Manager is in regular communication with the City Council on major
changes to the aforementioned Goals that may require their attention. The Goals updates
are also time intensive, and as a measure to increase staff efficiency, Staff recommends
that future City Council Goals updates be conducted on a twice-yearly basis as follows:
66
• February – Host the City Council Goals Workshop during this month to receive an
update on the current Goals. This Workshop will also be an opportunity to set new
Goals or affirm any existing ones for the following fiscal year; this will allow the
Finance Department with time to factor in any budget impacts for the following
fiscal year as part of its comprehensive budget development process.
• June – Receive an update on the current Goals, affirm the following year’s goals
while considering how to reset the goals for upcoming fiscal year.
CONCLUSION:
Staff requests City Council to receive and file the first quarter update of the FY 2025-26
City Council Goals and direct staff to provide City Council Goals updates on a twice-yearly
basis (February and June), in lieu of quarterly moving forward.
ALTERNATIVES:
In addition to Staff’s Recommendations, the following alternative actions are available for
the City Council’s consideration:
1. Do not receive and file the first quarter update and request additional information
and updates from staff.
2. Continue the discussion on the FY 2025-26 City Council Goals Update to a future
meeting and provide staff with direction.
3. Direct Staff to continue providing City Council Updates on a quarterly basis.
4. Take other action, as deemed appropriate.

2. Complete the Emergency Components including an
Emergency Operations Center (Phase 0 - Pre-Planning)
(Public Works and Rec/Parks Depts.)
15%TBD
High Level Overview:
- City Council directed staff to prioritize the emergency components of the Civic Center
Master Plan in FY 25-26. This effort includes lifting the federal deed restrictions on the EOC
site and/or securing a time extension to construct (from 4 to 6 years or more), as well as
securing outside funding for design and construction.
- Given these hurdles, staff has re-scoped the Tasks below to focus on these pre-Planning
tasks, while removing existing Planning Tasks such as the CEQA review and design
competitions. These will return in future years.
- This Project is "At Risk" as it is highly contingent
on the Federal government's willingness to provide -
at a minimum - a time extension as well as securing
several million dollars to begin planning and
construction. Staff is seeking assistance from our
federal representatives.
- Due Date is "TBD" since it is reliant on the Federal
gov'ts prioritization of this effort.
2-1. Seek lifting of federal deed restrictions and secure time
extension to construct on the EOC site.25%TBD
- On 8/19/24, GSA indicated that the City has approx. 4 years to build out the emergency
zone. This info was presented to Council on 10/15/24. Staff is actively working with GSA and
Federal legislators to appeal this decision and to either lift the restrictions or seek a 2 year
extension.
See above. The City received a second Notice of
Non-Compliance on July 14, 2025 with an action
date of September 30, 2025.
2-2. Seek funding opportunities to fund development Ongoing Ongoing - Staff is exploring potential funding opportunities with the City's grant firm and legislative
advocates to seek federal and state grants and earmarks in 2025.See above
2-3. Prepare a conceptual plan for the EOC 25%4/2025
- Identified City staff to oversee the EOC project.
- Staff is preparing an RFP for a consultant to prepare a concept plan for the EOC.
- Previously, City has received City and Federal approval of the general Civic Center
conceptual site plan on 5/2024 and 6/2024, respectively.
See above
3. Pursue acquisition of Coast Guard properties of Battery
Barnes and the Point Vicente Lighthouse (Administration
and Rec & Parks Depts.)
25%TBD
High Level Overview:
- City and City's lobbyist have been actively reaching out to the US Coast Guard (which owns
both properties), the General Services Administration (GSA), and all Federal legislators to
explore the possibility of acquiring both properties through the National Defense
Authorization Act (NDAA). Several site tours and meetings have been conducted;
conversations will be continuing this Fiscal Year.
- In FY25-26, the Project will focus on acquisition. If and when acquired, future fiscal years
will focus on the next Phase that includes planning and construction.
- This Project "Needs Attention," because it is
contingent on the Federal government agreeing to
divest these properties. It is not considered "At
Risk" since there has been no indication the Federal
gov't is unwilling to discuss divestiture.
- Due Date is "TBD" since it is reliant on the Federal
gov'ts prioritization of this effort.

proprietary criteria. In addition, the carriers indicated that RPV facilities may not be their highest priority at this time, creating challenges to expanding coverage in the city.

Comments:Project 1 - At risk, since long-term landslide mitigation work is heavily reliant on receiving outside funding, which staff is actively seeking.
Project 2 - Task 2-2 for Sanitary Sewer is at risk, due to diverting staff resources to emergency response and maintenance of the Abalone Cove Sewer System landslide-related damage.
Project 3 - Needs attention, since the project is dependent on obtaining Caltrans permits and coordination with Caltrans and City of LA to implement improvements across all jurisdictions. At this time, there appears to be little to no risk but is labeled as "Needs
Attention" due the 3rd party dependency.

PROJECT : Complete the Emergency Components including an Emergency Operations Center (Phase 0 - Pre-Planning)
Project 1 - Due to extensive staff involvement in completing the Wildlife Corridor CIP Project (which includes a strict deadline), the TNP project continues to be delayed. The timeline has been adjusted from 1/2026 to 6/2026.
Project 2 - This Project is "At Risk" as it is highly contingent on the Federal government's willingness to provide - at a minimum - a time extension as well as securing several million dollars to begin planning and construction. Staff is seeking assistance from our federal
representatives. Due Date is "TBD" since it is reliant on the Federal gov'ts prioritization of this effort.
Project 3 - This Project "Needs Attention," because it is contingent on the Federal government agreeing to divest these properties. It is not considered "At Risk" since there has been no indication the Federal gov't is unwilling to discuss divestiture. Due Date is "TBD"
since it is reliant on the Federal gov'ts prioritization of this effort.
PROJECT: Pursue acquisition of Coast Guard properties of Battery Barnes and the Point Vicente Lighthouse
