LADWP DS 104 Task Force Meeting #7 Summary


LADWP DS 104 Task Force Meeting #7 Summary
Wednesday 12/12/2012
Report by Jim Rea, Task Force Member

The comments on this meeting will be limited.

The Task Force met and did finalize the placement of the sites into Tiers 1, 2 and 3.  Given an overwhelming desire by the members of the Task Force to not interrupt the spirit of the holidays, it was agreed that any reports regarding the specifics of sites assigned to any of the Tiers would be embargoed until after the end of the year.  At that time, LADWP will issue an announcement in the Palisadian Post regarding the placement of sites into the Tiers.

A public workshop will be held on Tuesday, January 15, 2013 from 6:00 to 8:00 PM at the Palisades Charter High School.  Members of the Task Force and LADWP staff will be on hand to answer questions regarding the selections and to solicit feedback from the community regarding their preferred sites.  All interested members of the community are encouraged to attend.  

The members of the Task Force wish everyone in the Pacific Palisades community a happy holiday season and we look forward to continuing our process in the new year.

LADWP DS 104 Task Force Meeting #6 Summary

LADWP DS 104 Task Force Meeting #6 Summary
Thursday 11/28/2012
Report by Jim Rea, Task Force Member

My apologies for the delay in getting these notes published, but I left town immediately after the last meeting and am just getting dug out from an overloaded inbox.

There was little to report from this latest Task Force meeting.  We reviewed the last seven sites under consideration.  Several of the sites were very similar to sites that we have already reviewed.

We next began the process of placing sites in Tiers I, II and III. To recap, Tier I is for the four most preferred sites, Tier II is for four sites to serve as backups to the Tier I sites in the event they are eliminated during the CEQA process and Tier III is for sites that either have minimal feasibility or minimal support within the community.

We will go through a series of votes to place sites into the tiers until a consensus can be developed.  It is not clear how long this will take, but given the ability to register multiple votes per meeting, it is expected that the process will be completed during the next one or two meetings.

In the meantime, given that the Tiering is a "work in progress", the members of the Task Force have agreed not to discuss the interim results of the Tiering votes until the Tiering exercise has been completed.
