This coming Tuesday is the Palisades Residents Association Annual Meeting. Come meet your neighbors and hear about pressing issues. You will have an opportunity to ask questions to local neighborhood representatives. Some of the topics to be touched upon will be the demolition on LAUSD property at Angels Gate and the installation of new lighting at Pacific Heights Air Force Base housing above White Point Nature Preserve.

We will also be electing a new board of directors. There are quite a few open seats so, if you are interested in helping out once a month, please consider joining us. We will be taking nominations from the floor.

Renters, homeowners, and business owners are all invited. Don’t be the only one not there!

This year’s Palisades Residents Association annual meeting had a record attendance. Topics such as the proposed South Region High School #15 at Angels Gate and the Clearwater Program were a big draw.

LAUSD’s Rod Hamilton answers questions about proposed SRHS#15.

Many thanks go out to the the community representatives that came out to the meeting to talk with the residents and address their concerns: Janice Hahn, Councilwoman, 15th District; Brian Dietrich, Sr. Engineer, Cleanwater Program; Chuck Boehmke, Section Head, Cleanwater Program; David Kooper, Chief of Staff, Board District 7, LAUSD; Rod Hamilton, South Region Development Director, LAUSD; Linda Del Cueto, Superintendent, Local District 8, LAUSD.

Chuck Boehmke of the Clearwater Program presented a slideshow showing proposed construction areas where a new wastewater tunnel may be located. The chosen 4–8 acre site will have between 50 to 100 truck trips per day for seven (7) years to bring in equipment and remove dirt. The Palisades locations being considered are White Point Nature Preserve, Royal Palms Beach and Angels Gate Park.
