QUESTION: IN TERMS OF ACTIVITIES (BUSINESS OR OTHERWISE), WHAT
IS THE KID'S CORNER? AND THE SOUTH BAY CREDIT UNION?
QUESTION: WHILE NOT CURRENTLY LISTED ON THE ENTRANCE SIGN,
THERE ARE BUILDINGS AT THE SITE THAT REFLECT VANIR
CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, INC. AND FIRST TRANSIT, WITH DESIGNATED
PARKING FOR THESE BUSINESSES:
WHAT.DO THEIR RESPECTIVE OPERATIONS ENTAIL?
HAVE THEY BEEN RESPECTIVELY OKAYED FOR BUSINESS
OPERATIONS AT THE LOCATION?
AND WHO AUTHORIZED THESE BUSINESS OPERATIONS AT
THE LOCATION?
2. DURING THE LAST SITE INSPECTION AT THE LOCATION, SECURITY
ISSUES WERE RAISED, STEMMING FROM -- AMONG OTHER THINGS
-- A RECENT "ATTEMPTED BURGLARY" ARREST WITHIN THE CITY,
WHERE THE SUSPECT WAS APPREHENDED AFTER PARKING HIS
VEHICLE AT THE RANCHO DEL MAR HIGH SCHOOL PARKING LOT.
THAT BEING SAID, THE RESIDENTS NOTED THAT, ASIDE FROM
OTHER INTERIOR SECURITY. GATES AT THE BUS PARKING AREA
AND MAINTENANCE YARD -- THERE ARE THREE "SECURITY" GATES
AT THE LOCATION.
ONE SECURITY GATE IS SITUATED AT THE ENTRY.
IT WAS NOTED THAT THE SECURITY GATE IS
NEVER CLOSED, LET ALONE LOCKED. A LOCK FOR
THE GATE NONETHELESS USELESSLY HANGS ON
AN ENTRY POST.
A SECOND SECURITY GATE IS SITUATED NEAR THE

SCHOOL ASSURED THE RESIDENTS THAT THE BUSSES WOULD NOT BE
OPERATED BEFORE 7:00 A.M., AND THAT THE BUS DRIVER'S WOULD BE
BUSSED TO THE LOCATION FROM OFF -SITE:
A. WHY ARE THE DRIVER'S PERMITTED TO "START THEIR
ENGINES AS EARLY AS 6:00 A.M.;
B. WHY ARE THE DRIVER'S PERMITTED TO BE AT THE
LOCATION, BEFORE 6:00 A.M.; AND

Re: Palos Verdes Peninsula School District
Palos Verdes Transit Authority
Dear Council:
,0:.; iN HILLS.
Reference is made to the "Broken Promises List" ("List") left by Richard
Colyear at the November 27 Council meeting.
Before adjourning, the Council advised that it would "look into" the
matter of the commitments made by the School District and Transit Authority when they
sought approval to utilize the site for bus parking several years ago. Having attended
ALL of the meetings and having listened to the joint presentation of the School District
and the Transit Authority, it is fair to say that the promises they made and referenced in
the List do. in fact, represent the promises that were made. And, I think it fair to say that
the promises made were reasonable.
Among other things, it was and is reasonable to expect that (a) operations
will not commence until 7:00 a.m. and will end at 4:00 p.m.; (b) the buses will be depart
once in the morning and once in the late afternoon, when being returned, and not
operated into and out of the facility all day long; (c) the gate to the access road will be
kept locked at night; (d) the area will be properly maintained, with no dumping allowed;
and (e) the parking area will be camouflaged with hillside planting.
Request: kindly advise who has been tasked to "look into" the matter
of honoring these commitments. Or, if no one will be tasked to do so, the courtesy of
being so advised would be appreciated.
One of the Council members, Godfrey Perncll, suggested that we caucus
on these issues with the School District -- and implicdly the Transit Authority -- direct.
Please let us know with whom we need to speak. Our repeated prior complaints to the
School District. the Transit Authority and the City, with rare exception, have gone
ignored; hut, since it appears our family should not expect the City's assistance, we are
willing to make another attempt to deal with the problem on our own. Regrettably, the

School District representatives at last night's Council meeting were sufficiently
unconcerned with "our problems" to remain long enough to discuss them. 'Once the
School District problem was solved, they left. Accordingly, it appears necessary to
contact them during their regular working hours. We would be quite willing to phone
them, at home, when the 4:30 a.m. "day begins" at 38 Crest Road West and my family is
woken up; however, I. suspect they and their families are still asleep and would not want
to have their sleep int.enupted at such an "ungodly" hour. Contact names and
telephone numbers of these individuals are requested. Perhaps someone from the
City administration could'fax that information to me at (310) 377-6718.

THIRD AMENDED AGREEMENT
THIS THIRD AMENDED AGREEMENT ("Third Amended Agreement") is entered
into this 2 6 day of November, 2001 by and between the CITY OF ROLLING HILLS, a municipal
corporation ("City") and the PALOS VERDES PENINSULA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT, a
school district organized under the California Education Code ("District").
RECITALS
A. On November 25, 1985, City and District entered into an agreement ("the
Agreement") settling and resolving a dispute over the use of the La Cresta Elementary School ("La
Cresta" or "the Site") as a continuation high school generally known as the Rancho del Mar
Continuation High School. The purpose of the Agreement was to avoid both litigation between the
parties and to avoid the District's exercise of its override powers under California Government Code
Section 53094. Among other things, the Agreement set forth certain conditions under which Rancho
del Mar was to operate so as to assure that it would be a good neighbor to the nearby residences.
B. The Agreement was amended twice thereafter, on November 16, 1987 (First
Amended Agreement) and on May 8, 1990 (Second Amended Agreement).
C. District has operated Rancho del Mar Continuation High School at La Cresta
without incident since 1985, and now seeks to utilize the facility for certain adult education classes.
D. The parties desire to bring the Agreement (as it has been amended) current,
to establish certain conditions governing District's use of the Site for adult education classes, and to
continue to provide for cooperation between the parties in the event District at some future time
seeks to change its use of the Site.
E. It is the purpose of this Third Amended Agreement to accomplish the
aforementioned objectives of the parties and to supersede the Second Amended Agreement dated
May 8, 1990.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1. District agrees to operate the Rancho del Mar Continuation High School at the
Site, and use classrooms in the facility for District sponsored adult education classes, subject to the
operating conditions set forth herein for as long as this Third Amended Agreement remains in effect.
1
2. District is engaged in a long-range planning process regarding utilization of
District -wide facilities in light of its expanding student population. As its plans develop, District
agrees to meet with City to discuss its plans for the Site. Should District decide to relocate Rancho
del Mar from the Site and replace it with another District use, District shall negotiate in good faith
with City in an attempt to resolve any conflicts among the objectives of the parties to this Third
Amended Agreement.
3. District shall comply with the following conditions in respect of its classroom
operations at the Site:
(a) If City determines after observation of school operations and discussions with
District officials that it would prefer the gate at the foot of the stairway leading to the
residential area to be chain locked with the key to be administered by City, City may give
notice of its determination to District. Within 60 days after receiving such notice from City,
District shall completely enclose the stairway by installing fencing 5 feet in height along both
sides of the entire length of stairway, chain lock the gate at the bottom of the stairway, and
furnish the key to the lock to the City to be maintained in City Hall and administered by City;
(b) District shall maintain the existing landscaping along the south side of Crest Road
along the northern boundary line of District's property. Said maintenance shall include
irrigation, pruning, replacement of dead or diseased landscaping and any other measures
reasonably necessary to maintain the landscaping in a flourishing and attractive condition;
(c) Rancho del Mar Continuation High School shall operate only between the hours
of 7:30 A.M. and 4:00 P.M.; no evening Rancho del Mar Continuation High School activities
of any kind shall occur on the property except for specific events agreed upon by the parties.
Adult education classes may be conducted throughout the day provided that the last classes
shall end and students departed from the site by not later than 9:30 P.M.;
(d) Average daily attendance of the Rancho del Mar Continuation High School shall
not exceed 150 students. No more than 100 adult education students shall be in attendance
at the Site at any given time. Between the hours of 7:30 A.M. and 2:30 P.M., the combined
attendance of high school and adult students shall not exceed 250; after 2:30 P.M. the
combined attendance shall not exceed 200.
(e) Any operation (other than that contemplated by this Third Amended Agreement)
utilizing the Site under lease or other arrangement not serving District's student population
for classroom purposes (other than civic center uses mandated by law) shall comply with
City's conditional use permit requirements. The parties acknowledge the existence of one
such arrangement as of the date hereof — the Joint Powers Transportation Authority
maintenance and vehicle storage facility operating on the site by virtue of a Conditional Use
Permit issued on April 21, 1998;
2
(f) Smoking is prohibited at the Site;
(g) The fields on the site shall be kept free and clear of dry brush and weeds and
non -paved areas shall be regularly watered to eliminate dry and hazardous conditions;
(h) District shall not increase the number of freestanding outdoor lighting fixtures
on the site unless it believes itself required to do so in order to protect the safety of students and
faculty, but District will do so only after entering into good faith negotiations with City (relative to
the number, type, intensity and other issues pertaining to the environmental impact of the new
lighting) to minimize the impact of any increase in the number of lighting fixtures to be installed; and
(i) District may temporarily locate a maximum of four portable classrooms on the
site during renovation of the facilities. Not more than two may be retained on the site permanently,
provided they are located as unobtrusively as possible adjacent to the existing buildings in the
direction of the maintenance yard.
At City's request, District agrees to meet and confer in good faith with City to resolve
any operational issues that may arise in connection with District's use of the Site pursuant to this
Third Amended Agreement.
4. District agrees that it shall not sell all or any portion of the Site without first
complying with the provisions of Education Code Section 17464 and Government Code Sections
54220 et seq.
5. It is understood and agreed that the terms and conditions recited hereinabove are
not to be construed as an admission of liability on the part of the parties hereto and that the parties
have entered into this Third Amended Agreement as evidence of their mutual goodwill and
willingness to cooperate in resolving a dispute without resort to litigation or a zoning override by
District.
6. The parties represent and warrant that this Agreement has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered in the manner required by law, that all official action necessary to authorize
and approve the Third Amended Agreement has been taken.
7. This Third Amended Agreement may not be amended without further written
agreement of both parties.
8. This Third Amended Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the laws of California. The parties acknowledge and agree that in the event of any breach of this
Third Amended Agreement, by either party, money damages would be an inadequate remedy.
Accordingly, this Third Amended Agreement may be enforced by specific performance, mandatory
or prohibitory injunction or other appropriate order or decree.

9. Any notice required or contemplated by this Third Amended Agreement shall be
given in writing by personal delivery, or by prepaid registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, and shall be effective upon receipt. Notice shall be given to the following addresses (which

(hereinafter "City") and the PALOS VERDES PENINSULA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
(hereinafter "District").
RECITALS
1. On November 25, 1985, City and District entered into an agreement settling
and resolving a dispute over the use of the La Cresta Elementary School (hereinafter
"La Cresta") as a continuation high school generally known as the Rancho del Mar
Continuation High School.
2. In the agreement the parties agreed to the location of the Rancho del Mar
Continuation High School at the La Cresta site for a period of twenty-four (24) months
during which time the parties were committed to meet and negotiate with respect to the
long-term utilization of that site. The agreement also set forth certain conditions under
which the school was to operate so as to assure that it would be a good neighbor to
the nearby residences.
3. That agreement was first amended on November 16, 1987. During the course
of the past two years, the parties have met and engaged in discussions concerning the
long-term future development of the La Cresta site as contemplated by the agreement
but no definitive conclusions have been reached and no definite plans on the part of
the district have been prepared.
4. District desires to extend the period of time within which it may continue to
use the La Cresta site for the Rancho del Mar Continuation High School and during
which time it will both develop plans for the long-term development of the site and
meet with the City to accomplish the District's objectives and best integrate any future
development into the City. It is City's desire to obtain assurances that District's
development plans will either require relocation of the continuation high school or
integration of the high school into a total overall development that will be harmonious
with other uses proposed for the entire site.
5. It is the purpose of this Second Amended Agreement to accomplish the
aforementioned objectives of the parties and to supersede the First Amended agreement
dated November 16, 1987.

continue to locate Rancho del Mar Continuation High School temporarily at the La
Cresta site and that such decision shall be effective for a period not to exceed twenty-
•
four (24) months.
2. During this twenty-four (24) month period, District and City agree to meet and
negotiate in good faith for the purpose of evaluating the highest and best use of the La
Cresta site, and the means by which the site's value for sale and development may be
increased, with the objective of either relocating the high school to a different permanent
campus or integrating the high school into the total site plan design in a harmonious
manner. The parties agree to meet on a regular basis to fully explore the alternatives
available for the development of the La Cresta site and on a regular basis as
determined by the parties to provide progress reports on actions taken in that regard.
3. During the period that the Rancho del Mar Continuation High School is
temporarily located at La Cresta, District shall comply with the following conditions in
respect of the school's operations:
(a) If City determines after observation of school operations and
discussions with District officials that it would prefer the gate at the foot of
the stairway leading to the residential area to be chain locked with the key
to be administered by City, City may give notice of its determination to
District. Within 60 days after receiving such notice from City, District shall
completely enclose the stairway by installing fencing 5 feet in height along
both sides of the entire length of stairway, chain lock the gate at the
bottom of the stairway, and furnish the key to the lock to the City to be
maintained and administered by City at the gate house;
(b) District shall maintain the existing landscaping along the south
side of Crest Road along the northern boundary line of District's property.
Said maintenance shall include irrigation, pruning, replacement of dead or

the front windshield of the car. A separate parking area with sufficient
spaces shall be reserved for Rancho del Mar Continuation High School
students. The school reserves the right to limit parking privileges of its
students and may also reserve parking for guests and business visitors;

• •
students;

Hills at this location without first providing the City not less than ninety days written
notice of its intention to do so. In the event the District proposes to sell all or any
portion of the site and to continue operating the school on a portion of the site, the
parties shall renegotiate this Agreement to ensure that such a mixed use proposal is
consistent with the neighborhood. Until and unless such a new agreement is
renegotiated, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect.

time the parties were committed to meet and negotiate with
respect to the long-term utilization of that site. The agreement
also set forth certain conditions under which the school was to
operate so as to assure that it would be a good neighbor to the
nearby residences.
3. The agreement is now due to expire on November 25,
1987. During the course of the past two years, the parties have
met and engaged in discussions concerning the long-term future
development of the La Cresta site as contemplated by the agree-
ment but no definitive conclusions have been reached and no
definite plans on the part of the District have been prepared.
4. District desires to extend the period of time
within which it may continue to use the La Cresta site for the
Rancho del Mar Continuation High School and during which time it
will both develop plans for the long-term development of the site
and meet with the City to accomplish the District's objectives
and best integrate any future development into the City. It is
City's desire to obtain assurances that District's development
plans will either require relocation of the continuation high
school or integration of the high school into a total overall
development that will be harmonious with other uses proposed for
the entire site.
5. It is the purpose of this First Amended Agreement
to accomplish the aforementioned objectives of the parties and to
supersede the agreement dated November 25, 1985.
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
• •
1. District agrees to take such action of its Board as
is legally necessary to continue to locate Rancho del Mar Contin-
uation High School temporarily at the La Cresta site and that
such decision shall be effective for a period not to exceed
twenty-four months.
2. During this twenty-four month period, District and
City agree to meet and negotiate in good faith for the purpose of
evaluating the highest and best use of the La Cresta site, and
the means by which the site's value for sale and development may
be increased, with the objective of either relocating the high
school to a different permanent campus or integrating the high
school into the total site plan design in a harmonious manner.
The parties agree to meet on a regular basis to fully explore the
alternatives available for the development of the La Cresta site
and on a regular basis as determined by the parties to provide
progress reports on actions taken in that regard.
3. During the period that the Rancho del Mar Continu-
ation High School is temporarily located at La Cresta, District
shall comply with the following conditions in respect of the
school's operations:

operations and discussions with District officials that it
would prefer the gate at the foot of the stairway leading to
the residential area to be chain locked with the key to be
administered by City, City may give notice of its determina-
tion to District. Within 60 days after receiving such
notice from City, District shall completely enclose the
stairway by installing fencing 5 feet in height along both
sides of the entire length of stairway, chain lock the gate
at the bottom of the stairway, and furnish the key to the
lock to the City to be maintained and administered by City
at the gatehouse;
(b) District shall maintain the existing landscaping
along the south side of Crest Road along the northern
boundary line of District's property. Said maintenance

attractive condition;
(c) Rancho del Mar Continuation High School shall
operate only between the hours of 7:30 A.M. and 4:00 P.M.;
no evening Rancho del Mar Continuation High School activi-
ties of any kind shall occur on the property except for
specific events agreed upon by the parties;
(d) All students who drive an automobile to Rancho
del Mar Continuation High School shall register their

(e) Average daily attendance of no more than 150 high

(f) Any operation (other than Rancho del Mar) utiliz-

vised area;
(h) Community members shall continue to have permis-

4. District agrees that it shall not sell all or any
portion of its property in Rolling Hills at this location without
first providing the City not less than ninety days written notice
of its intention to do so. In the event the District proposes to
sell all or any portion of the site and to continue operating
the school on a portion of the site, the parties shall renegoti-
ate this Agreement to ensure that such a mixed use proposal is
consistent with the neighborhood. Until and unless such a new
agreement is renegotiated, the terms and conditions of this
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
5. It is understood and agreed that the terms and con-
ditions recited hereinabove are not to be construed as an admis-
sion of liability on the part of the parties hereto and that the
parties have entered into this Agreement as evidence of their
mutual goodwill and willingness to cooperate in resolving a dis-
pute without resort to litigation.

Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered in the
manner required by law, that all official action necessary to
authorize and approve the Agreement has been taken, and that the
Agreement constitutes the legally binding obligation of the
parties, enforceable in accordance with its terms.
