The meeting provided an opportunity for updates on two (2) issues that the City has previously monitored as Border Issues: Defense Fuel Support Point (DFSP) San Pedro and the Highpark (formerly Ponte Vista) project. • At DFSP San Pedro, the Navy has completed the filling of all underground fuel storage tanks with concrete. Bio-remediation of fuel residue in the soil surrounding the tanks is expected to take ten (10) years to complete. The Little League fields, LAPD shooting range and PVPLC plant nursery and blue butterfly breeding program will all continue to operate on the property. However, the Navy’s long-term plan is to lease a portion of the property—including the remaining three (3) aboveground fuel storage tanks and supply pipeline—for twenty-five (25) years. The Navy will issue a request for proposals (RFP) from potential lessees during the next eighteen (18) months, with the anticipation that any lease(s) granted would commence in 2020. Staff will monitor the RFP process for any potential future use(s) of DFSP San Pedro that could adversely affect the City and its residents. • With respect to Highpark, its new owners, Harridge Development Group (Harridge), expect to continue with the completion of the “horizontal development” of the site (e.g., sewers, storm drains, streets, rough-graded building pads, etc.) so that subareas of the project can be sold off to individual homebuilders to begin the “vertical development” (e.g., buildings, final grading, etc.). The existing land use entitlements for the project tied the implementation of various off-site traffic mitigation measures to specific trip-generation thresholds (e.g., the 1st, 151st and 301st peak-hour trip). However, Harridge would prefer to accelerate and compress the timing of these mitigation measures so as to get as many as possible in place prior the occupancy of the first new home. Finally, Harridge expressed its dislike for the Highpark name, suggesting that they may go back to Ponte Vista. A straw poll of meeting attendees suggested there may be too much negative “baggage” tied to Ponte Vista, and that the project needs a completely new name. Staff will continue to monitor this project, particularly in relation to the implementation of traffic mitigation measures in Rancho Palos Verdes. Update on the Murder of Susan Leeds: On May 18th, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) held a press conference to announce that a suspect in the murder of Susan Leeds had been arrested the previous day in Victorville. LASD shared additional information about the victim’s and suspect’s vehicles (see below), as well as surveillance video from the parking garage at the Promenade on the Peninsula. The facts of the case were presented to the District Attorney’s (DA) Office, which worked with LASD Homicide Detectives through the weekend reviewing all the associated documents known at the time. On May 21st, DA prosecutors requested additional follow-up to be conducted and declined to press charges against the suspect, who was subsequently released from custody. LASD states that the focus of its investigation has not changed. The investigation is progressing and it is not unusual for prosecutors to request additional information. Investigators also have 3 ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT May 23, 2018 Page 4 had the opportunity to obtain key statements from a suspect and collect physical evidence that is now undergoing rigorous forensic examination at the LASD Crime Lab. LASD Homicide Investigators still believe that this remains an isolated incident in a historically-safe community. As a measure of reassurance, LASD has increased the visibility of their deputies in Rolling Hills Estates and remains in close contact with the Peninsula cities on further developments in this case. Finally, LASD asks anyone who was at the Promenade on the Peninsula shopping center in Rolling Hills Estates on May 3rd between 9:30 AM and 12:30 PM to contact LASD Homicide Detective Quintero or Detective Austin at (323) 890-5500. Community Open House for Palos Verdes Peninsula Water Reliability Project: CalWater will host another community open house for this project at Palos Verdes High School on Thursday, June 21st.

There will be a one-day delay in residential trash collection for all routes next week. Press releases were sent to the local papers, announcements were made on Nextdoor, on the City’s website “Spotlight” and list servers were sent out. Spring Brush Clearing Complete: EDCO completed its bi-annual excess brush-clearing event. The five-week event collected 20.65 tons of excess green waste. The event is scheduled to help property owners meet the annual Fire Department June 1st deadline for brush clearing without incurring disposal costs. 6 ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT May 23, 2018 Page 7 Kickoff Meeting with Siemens Industry: Staff held its first kickoff meeting with Siemens Industry representatives. Siemens is the contractor who will be assisting the City with the acquisition of streetlights from SCE, and performing an audit of the streetlights prior to converting the light fixtures to LED lighting. On May 1, 2018, SCE send a letter to the California Public Utilities Commission (PUC) requesting the PUC to authorize SCE to sell and convey certain streetlight facilities to the City of Rancho Palos Verdes. See attached letter. The exact schedule of the process is dependent on various factors, mostly SCE related. However, it is anticipated that the ownership of the street lights to be transferred to the City by fall and the conversion to LED lighting is completed before the end of the year. Staff will continue to provide timely updates regarding the process.

  • Construction of a Recreation Facility at Harbor Hills
    BORDER ISSUES STATUS REPORT Revised December 15, 2020 The following is a listing of the history and most recent status of all of the Border Issues that are currently being monitored by the City. PALOS VERDES PENINSULA WATER RELIABILITY PROJECT (ROLLING HILLS ESTATES, RANCHO PALOS VERDES AND UNINCORPORATED LOS ANGELES COUNTY) Last Update: December 15, 2020 California Water Service Company (CWSC) made a presentation to the City Council regarding its master plan for the Palos Verdes District on February 17, 2004. Part of this plan envisioned placing two (2) new water mains under Palos Verdes Drive North to replace an existing line serving the westerly Peninsula (the so-called “D-500 System”); and to supplement existing supply lines to the existing reservoirs at the top of the Peninsula (the so-called “Ridge System”). Another previous Border Issue upon which the City commented in 2003 was the Harbor-South Bay Water Recycling Project, proposed jointly by the Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) and the West Basin Municipal Water District (WBMWD) to provide reclaimed water for irrigation purposes. One of the proposed lines for this project (Lateral 6B) would be placed under Palos Verdes Drive North to serve existing and proposed golf courses and parks in Rolling Hills Estates, Palos Verdes Estates and County territory, as well as Green Hills Memorial Park in Rancho Palos Verdes. Adding to these water line projects is a plan by Southern California Edison (SCE) to underground existing utility lines along Palos Verdes Drive North between Rolling Hills Road and Montecillo Drive. All of these projects would require construction within the public right-of-way of Palos Verdes Drive North, which is already severely impacted by traffic during peak-hour periods.
