shall be responsible for obtaining approval of the structural section of La
Rotonda and starting re-construction. The re-construction shall be
completed by November 11 2002.
Further, subject to review and approval by the Director of Public Works,
the developer shall be responsible for resurfacing of portions of La
Rotonda Road. The re-surfacing shall begin by October 1, 2001 and shall
be completed by November 1, 2001.
Nothing in this condition shall preclude the City from requiring the
Developer to contribute to the cost of reconstructing Palos Verdes Drive
South (25th Street) from La Rotonda Drive to the eastern City limits
pursuant to Condition E.8 of this approval, if it is determined that the
construction of the Ocean Trails project by the Developer has damaged
this street segment. If the City and the Developer do not agree as to
whether the construction of the Ocean Trails project by the Developer has
damaged this street segment, then they shall mutually agree upon a third
party geotechnical engineer (the 11 Engineer") to make such determination.
The Engineer shall determine, as soon as reasonably feasible after his or
her appointment, as to whether, and the extent to which, the construction
of the Ocean Trails project by the Developer is responsible for having
damaged such street segment. The decision of the Engineer shall be
binding and non-appealable. If the Engineer determines that the
construction of the Ocean Trails project by the Developer is partially or
fully responsible for damaging such street segment, then the Developer
shall be responsible for making a financial contribution towards the
reconstruction costs in proportion to the extent of such damage caused by
the construction of the Ocean Trails project by the Developer. Each party
shall pay for the costs and expenses of its engineer, with the parties
sharing equally the cost of the Engineer. Additionally, if it is determined as
set forth above that the Developer is responsible for making a financial
contribution towards the reconstruction costs, the Developer shall receive
a credit against that cost, due to the additional amount being incurred by
the Developer to reconstruct La Rotonda Drive in accordance with this
amended condition. The amount of credit shall be equal to the difference
between (1) the cost of resurfacing 25th Street from La Rotonda Drive to
the easterly City limits plus the cost of resurfacing La Rotonda Drive from
Palos Verdes Drive South to the Fire Access Road, and (2) the cost to

You don't often get email from jabekahnke@cox.net. Learn why this is important
Rancho Palos Verdes City Council:
I write in opposition to the proposed extension of the trail review at Trump National Golf Club. I live near
enough to these trails to wall< to them. My family uses them on a regular basis. They become overgrown
making passage difficult at time in many places. The footing can become treacherous in places due to
rain and other conditions. It seems to us that conditions only improve in association with the annual
review. If the review is biennial, the interval between improvement will double.
Many of the trail users are seniors, like me. We use the trails for exercise and to enjoy our beautiful city.
When conditions deteriorate, it is more difficult to do so. When the footing becomes difficult, the danger
of falling and injury rises.
If the motivation for the request is to save money, spend less on trail maintenance, the result is obvious:
worse trail conditions, fewer walkers, diminishing the enjoyment by us of a magnificent stretch of the
RPV coastline.
This public entitlement was an obligation undertaken by the original developers and assumed by the
current owners when they acquired the development. I urge the council to maintain the current review
period so that conditions will not deteriorate even more and for longer periods than they currently do.
Thank you for your thoughtful consideration.

June 2, 2026
Dear Mayor See and City Council Members:
My name is Uday Patil, and I am a registered geotechnical engineer residing in
Seaview. I am writing to bring to the attention of the city council a significant
issue regarding the trails at the Trump Golf Course that has been neglected by
the Trump organization and the city staff for the past five years.
The Catalina Trail at the golf course has been closed for the past five years
without any substantial effort to reopen it. The trail was closed in 2021 following
the appearance of some cracks in the vicinity of a bridge on the trail. A
preliminary report was prepared by a consultant regarding possible repairs.
However, when I inquired about the status of any repairs with the city, I
discovered that no tangible progress has been made beyond repeated site
visits, meetings, and plans for additional studies by the city staff and the Trump
organization.
This issue is not so complex to resolve. If repairs had been implemented
promptly upon the observation of the cracks, further deterioration of the situation
could have been avoided, and a simpler, permanent solution would have been
sufficient. Unfortunately, all responsible parties have procrastinated, taking no
action to address the matter. I have no doubt that if this bridge was needed for
the golf course operations, this would have been repaired in no time.
I urge the city council to take this matter up for immediate and concrete action to
reopen the trail. The maintenance review period should be reduced, not
increased, with specific schedule assigned to each identified task and the
responsible parties held accountable. The applicant's request to increase the
review period must be denied.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Uday K. Patil

Dear City Council
The discussion about the maintenance review for Trump golf course and trails. I am a frequent walker on
the trails including and around the golf course. I do not believe that annual review is necessary by the
city and that every other year would be satisfactory and saving the city funds that could be used more
appropriately. The trails and passages are always well cared for and are immaculate.

Dear Ms. Seeraty,
I assume by early next week, Ocean Trails visitors will be needing to bring a machete
for continued trail access in areas of the trail. Overgrown bushes have grown well beyond
their respectful borders . A dead tree is still wobbling to fall. 3 fence posts remain broken at
cliff side .
Interesting that the TNGC golf trails are a pristine example of hard surface trail maintenance
yet somehow Ocean Trails are filled with leaf debris, animal waste, significant areas of sand
accumulation on the hard surface trails.
Disappointing.

[Case No. PLMH2026-0002)

Dear Ms. Seeraty and City Council,
Would it surprise you to learn that nothing has changed on the Ocean Trails trail system since the April
21, 2026 City Council Meeting? Indeed, really, the level of trail maintenance effort by TNGC on behalf of
the Ocean Trails trail system remains rather modest in a changing, changed environment.
The Ocean Trails are a valued community asset, offering exceptional coastal views and serving as an
important recreational space . Their current condition, however, detracts from the natural environment
and presents some safety concerns. Current issues :
• Broken fence posts -cliff side -remain .
• Overgrown shrubs, a dead tree, and extended branches obstructing pathways remain .
• Significant accumulated leaf debris and significant sand on walkways remain.
• Widespread pet waste, both recent and long -neglected, remain.
• Old litter in the parking lot remain. Litter from weekend visits= most pervasive .
• Opportunity for additional dog waste and trash cans along the trail system not implemented
currently.
• Reposition dog waste station from TNGC parking lot to trail head still considered?
• Dog waste station bag outages -frequent .
Yet the Ocean Trails trail system is seeing a significant visitor rate, significant dog walkers, increase likely
due landslide -related trail closures at Abalone Cove Reserve and the Portuguese Bend Reserve. We are
now seeing unsightly and in some cases, unsafe conditions. It's been going on for some time now and is
inconsistent with the standards expected for a public-access trail system of this prominence . In this
changing, changed environment, what additional is being asked by the City of RPV of TNGC in this
biennial approval? What additional is TNGC proactively stepping up to help maintain?
Again, respectfully requesting that the City thoroughly investigate these conditions as part of the trail
monitoring and maintenance review and take appropriate action to ensure that the trails are maintained
to a well-maintained state. Routine upkeep -such as vegetation trimming, debris removal -would
significantly improve both safety and the visitor experience.
Thank you for including this comment in the public hearing record . I plan on attending the public hearing
via Zoom on Tuesday, June 2, 2026. I look forward to the City's response and to ANY MEANINGFUL STEPS
being taken by the City and TNGC to preserve and protect these important community trails.
Respectfully submitted,

Dear Ms. Seeraty,
I am submitting this letter as public comment for the upcoming hearing on the Trump National Golf Club
trail monitoring and maintenance review. Since December 2024, as you may be aware, I have written to
the City multiple times-each time including photographs-documenting the observable and worsening
deterioration of the Ocean Trails adjacent to the Trump National Golf Course. Despite these repeated
submissions, the conditions have not improved and, in many areas, have continued to decline.
As a frequent user of these trails, I have witnessed that maintenance has become virtually nonexistent,
even though as I understand, the responsibility lies with the Trump National Golf Course. This is
particularly concerning given the substantial resources clearly available on -site, including a full
greenskeeping staff and extensive John Deere maintenance equipment . With this level of staffing and
machinery, it is difficult to understand how the Ocean Trails cou ld be allowed to fall into suc h disrepair.
Trail maintenance requires time, effort, and basic stewardship -none of which appear to be occurring by
Trump National Golf Course .
The Ocean Trails are a valued community asset, offering exceptional coastal views and serving as an
important recreational space . Their current condition, however, detracts from the natural environment
and presents safety concerns. Issues I have personally observed include:
• Broken fence posts
• Overgrown shrubs and extended branches obstructing pathways. Neglect for native plant
species, care.
• Significant accumulated leaf debris and, at times, golf course sand on walkways. Significant trail
sand accumulations in spots.
• Widespread pet waste, both recent and long-neglected
• Litter in the parking lot and along the trails, including bottles and other discarded items
This level of neglect is unsightly, unsafe, and inconsistent with the standards expected for a public-access
trail system of this prominence.
I respectfully request that the City thoroughly investigate these conditions as part of the trail monitoring
and maintenance review and take appropriate action to ensure that the trails are restored to a safe and
well-maintained state. Routine upkeep-such as vegetation trimming, debris removal, and basic
infrastructure repairs-would significantly improve both safety and the visitor experience.
I also invite you and other City officials to join me for a brief walk-through of the affected areas. I would
be glad to meet at the La Rotonda Drive parking area for a 30-minute tour to provide firsthand insight
into the concerns described above.
Thank you for including this comment in the public hearing record. I do plan on attending the public
hearing on Tuesday, April 21, 2026@ 7:00pm. I look forward to the City's response and to meaningful
steps being taken to preserve and protect these important community trails.
Sincerely,
Robert Eichler Rancho Palos Verdes Resident

I am writing to express my support for the Rancho Palos Verdes staff recommendation to adopt the
resolution for case number PLM H 2026-0002, which shifts the city's review process for the golf course
maintenance agreement from an annual to a biennial schedule. This change represents a prudent
approach to oversight, specifically regarding the ongoing responsibility for maintaining public amenities,
habitat conservation areas, trails, parks, and open space. By streamlining this administrative process it
could effectively allocate resources while ensuring responsible management of these vital community
resources.
Thank you,
Jeff Peterson

Dear RPV City Council,
I live in Rancho Palos Verdes in the Ladera Linda Community. I agree with the staff report that suggests
amending the Trump Maintenance Agreement's review of maintenance obligations to be biennial instead of
annual.
Trumps track record has been excellent in maintaining their maintenance obligations. They are in contact
with the City throughout the year with Zoom meetings when necessary. They are also monitored through a City
software program for any trail issues that may occur.
Thank you for your consideration of this issue.

I support the staff recommendation to revise the Trump Maintenance Agreement so that maintenance
obligations are reviewed every two years rather than annually. This adjustment appears reasonable and
appropriate.
Trump has consistently met its trail maintenance responsibilities to a high standard. The organization
maintains regular communication with City staff throughout the year and participates in Zoom check-in
meetings as needed. In addition, trail conditions are monitored through the City's tracking software,
allowing any issues to be identified and addressed promptly. Based on their strong history of compliance
and responsiveness, a biennial review process is justified.
Thank you,
Suzie Wolfrum

We both agree with the staff report suggesting amending the Trump maintenance agreement's periodic
review of maintenance on a biannual instead of an annual review.
We walk the trails often, Trump's maintenance team does a great job maintaining the trails.

From my personal observation, I walk these trails at lease twice a week, and have so for a number of years, and find them
to be as pristine as any I have ever seen. They are constantly patrolled by Trump ground personnel, constantly seeing to
needs as the arise.

To whom it may concern,
I wish to express my approval for amending the Trump Maintenance Agreement review period from once
a year to twice a year.
I feel the trails and surrounding areas have been well maintained by Trump. I assume this same level of
upkeep and maintenance will continue with the additional annual review.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Signed,
Beth Shirley
