All drainage devices should be clear of any debris, dirt, and vegetation to protect properties from flooding and to prevent debris from entering into the canyons and eventually the ocean. Sandbags and sand are available behind the RHCA building. Monthly Sheriff's Dept. Activity �. Over the past several years, the City has "�llltn reported in this newsletter when there is a "^ crime in the community. it is the same information reported to and printed by the Daily Breeze and. Peninsula News as provided by the Sheriit's Department. Fortunately and comparatively, the crime rate is very low. However, not every call to, or response by, the Sheriff corresponds to a crime in the City. Calls for loud music, a suspicious person or response to a false alarm, for example, rarely are represented as crimes. Although these are generally private matters, these response calls catch the attention of residents with the visibility of the Sheriff in the community. To address this, the City newsletter will now also provide, on a monthly basis, the total number of response calls for the previous month inclusive of crime and non -crime responses. For the month of November, the total number of all calls for service was 17. Additionally, Sheriff Deputies will self - initiate activities when on patrol and observing, for example, a suspicious or illegal activity. It is our intent to also report on a monthly basis the total number of these observations; for November, it was 67.

The ./iilloivi.ng responds to ,Jiequenth, asked questions: Row are "view" and "view impairment" defined? A View is defined in the Municipal Code as "a visually impressive scene or vista not located in the immediat,� .vicinity of the residence, such as a scene of the Pacific Ocean. off shore islands, cii.y lights c f the: Leis Angeles basin, the Palos Verdes Hills or Los Angelcs Harbor". View impairment is defined as a "significant interference with and obstruction of a view by landscaping, trees or any other planted vegetation". Why isn't there a slate upon which a view is established and preserved for a property owner: The view ordinance intentionally specifies no date because the forms is on the .characteristics of the property, not the longevity of the current ownership. As such, the ordinance provides that both new and long -tern property owners equally have an opportunity a± any time to correct a view impairment if the existing view is .signaficantly obstructed. Why is the view ordinance written as it iF, providing for discretion? The determination as to whether a view exists and whetJier it is significantly impaired is necessarily so newhat subjective and calls for the exercise of discretion. Further, solution: for resolving an impaired view can vary. Is the view ordinance applied to everyone in, the City? Yes, the ordinance governs all property in the City. The process is triggered by the tiling of a enmplete complaint application with thy: City. Can or evils tbll' City force ane to prnvisde a view to my neighbor ,Ind req -.Are that I crit down my trees? it is preferable that view impairments be resolved privately betv,een the parties. without City involvement. That is why, after submittal of an application, the process begins with mediation, to assure that the neighbors have exhausted their ability to wort: out the problem amicably. If mediation fails, the Committee. or Trees and Views is charged with developing a balanced solution that takes into consideration the effect of view rrstoration on the environment and on the privacy and enjoyment of tile property. View- complaints are resolved by crown reduction, lacing, thinning and/or tree removal. Nothing in the ordinance, requires that. a restored view be panoramic. Bulling Hills Trespassing Law fruspassine on private property, per the City's Municipal Code, is not permitted.. For there to be to be action against an individual who is violating the trespassing law, the violator must be advised by i.he resident to leave the private property and/or be notified not to entci, the property by visible `no trespassing' signage. Then, the resident must cAl the Sheriff' Department al .110-530-1661 If the trespasser leaves the property in advm)ce the Shcrifl`s Deputy's arr;val. but can be located, the resident will be asked to, and must be willing to, E0j ov, Phe proceetures for a "Private persons Arrest" in order ror tlu: violator to be arrested.

The good weafier this past week allowed the contractor to begin removing the large hump in Poppy Trail Road near Portuguese Bend. In the next week crews will be rebuilding the road itself and correct the slumping along the cast side of the roadway. This will be accomplished by reinforcing the base of the road so it will not fail in the future. All the excess material has been removed from riding ring and the surface has been regraded. Following this work, RIICA and Caballeros representatives inspected the ring. Next, the .ring specialist for the R14CA will visit the site to provide input on how to finish the surface of the ring to best accommodate riders and their horses. The landscape contractor is making great progress. Water service to the two building pads was installed, which means that the irrigation system can be fully energized and tested. In the past two weeks several overgrown trees were removed, and several others were trimmed and thinned out. This week the contractor will bring new trees and shrubs to the site and begin planting soon thereafter. ]Text week, crews will begin the trenching for the utilities to serve; the new building sites. Eventually, Edison, the Gas Company, Cox and the phone company wil! all install their respective utilities in tine trench. While the work is underway, traffic on .Poppy 'Trail may be delayed, however the road will be open at all times. Once the utilities are installed Poppy Trail will be paved with asphalt. Due to the recent rains, the prgject schedule has once again leen pushed back. At this time, it is estimated that the project will be completed in raid -May. This projection is dcpendent on several factors, including how long it takes take the utility companies to complete, their work, and of course: the: r�reathcr.

Issue No. 12-06 Poppy Trail Project Update erThe rains returned causing another delay of the project. However, before the skies opened much was accomplished. In the last two weeks work crews were able to: Pave the two driveways leading to the new pads at #0 and 41 Poppy Trail. * Complete and test new water lines in Poppy Trail; new lines are now in place where the slide occurred. New water meters were installed to serve the new lots. With completion of the water line the contractor will install utilities under the road. Shortly thereafter paving of the road will commence. Removal of the excess soil began. When the ground dries out the rest of the soil will be removed. In the next two weeks all the soil will be removed from the Hesse Gap Ring. Most of the irrigation system was installed and will be tested in the next two weeks. A new catch basin was installed along Poppy Trail and two small walls were built to protect the creek and the riding trail. Despite the inclement weather the project is moving forward. However, the rain delay does move completion of the project to the first week of April.

Issue No. 12-06 Poppy Trail Project Update erThe rains returned causing another delay of the project. However, before the skies opened much was accomplished. In the last two weeks work crews were able to: Pave the two driveways leading to the new pads at #0 and 41 Poppy Trail. * Complete and test new water lines in Poppy Trail; new lines are now in place where the slide occurred. New water meters were installed to serve the new lots. With completion of the water line the contractor will install utilities under the road. Shortly thereafter paving of the road will commence. Removal of the excess soil began. When the ground dries out the rest of the soil will be removed. In the next two weeks all the soil will be removed from the Hesse Gap Ring. Most of the irrigation system was installed and will be tested in the next two weeks. A new catch basin was installed along Poppy Trail and two small walls were built to protect the creek and the riding trail. Despite the inclement weather the project is moving forward. However, the rain delay does move completion of the project to the first week of April. If you would like more information or have any questions regarding the project, please call the project manager, Andy Lazzaretto at 818-438-4995 or send email inquiries to andy@aclazz.com.

The long-range weather forecast calls for clear skies for the next 7-10 days so this was an ideal time to start working on the new roadbed. The rei.aining wall adjacent to Poppy Trail •:eras completed in the lust tm o weeks. So now the contractor will loNver a portion of Peppy Trail, install a new waterline, excavate the utility trench and install utilities. backfill and compvct the trench, and finally, lay down base material, and pave Poppy'lrad Road. h4camvhile the landscape contractor began work by installing a portion of the irrigation system, retrtoving a number of unwanted rices, and lessening :he fire: danger by eliminating over„rovin shrubs and other amdeggrowfil. These removals were; in keeping with a planting and `Fuel Modification' plan previously approved by the City of Rolling Hills and the Fire Department. Last week the Rolling Hills Community Association tentatively approved the design of the guardrail that will be built adjacent to Poppy Trail. The developer has to provide written assurances that the guardrail design is sate given the traffic on Poppy Trail, however once the assurances are approved by the RHCA, tiie ni.;ardrails can he installed. Mangy; people may be anxious to learn about the condition and status of the Nesse Gap riding ring. Approximately half the soil which was originally stored on the ring has been removed and is no longer on site. However, there is still �t suhstaMial amount of dirt on the arena. Readers will recall that before the soil was placed on the ring the contractor put down heavy duty Visqueen plastic, and then the soil wUs put on top; the Visqueen is still in place protecting the surface of the ring. All the soil will be removed by the end of the project then the ring will be regraded and restored to the condition it was in before the start of construction. Based on the work which still needs to he done, and the number of days lost to rain and heavy vvinds, it is now estimated that dtiv project will be completed in late March. As alw ys, this projection is dependent on the .weather; if tho,re is niore rain or windy days the project cordal he further delayed.

Initiative Process — FAQ's The City periodically receives a variety of questions about the ballot initiative process. Following is an overview thief provides answers to frequently asked questions. What is an initiative? The initiative is a process under the State Constitution and State law that allows resi,icttts 'to propose adoption of an ordinance. An ordinance is a to-aatl law. How does the initiative process work? The proponents of an initiative first must draft a proposed ordinance. Then, they circulate a petition within the community in ordcr to collect sufficient signatures to compel consideration of the ordinance by the City Council. What does the petition cw-Rviv? off:' The petition includes a title and summary prepared by the City Attorney that constitutes an impartial summary of the purpose of the initiative. It also includes the text of the proposed ordinance. How many signatures are required? The minimum number of signatures required to qualify a petition is 10% of the number of registered voters; in Rolling hills, that is 145 signatures. Who may sign the initivtivp petition? Only registered voters in Rolling Hills may sign tht petition. If a person signs the petition and then changes their mind, can they remove their name? Yes, as long as the parson submits to the City Clerk a written request to remove thoir name before the petition is submitted to the C43, ling certification. How long do the proponents have ter roflec, signatures? Signatures must be collected within six months from the start of the process; otherwise, the petition is invalid. What happens if a sufficient number of signatures are collected? If the City Clerk determines that sufticiont signatures have been properly collected, and the ordinance is not clearly unconstitutional or unlawful, the City Council must either adopt the ordinance without alteration or must place it on the ballot for a vote of the electorate, If the City Council chooses to place the Initiative ordinance on the ballot, how many votes are required for it to pass? Usually an initiative ordinance passes with a majority vote. Tax measures require a 213 vote. If the initiative ordinance is approved by the electorate, can it later be amended? An ordinance approved by the electorate through the initiative process can generally only be amended or repealed by another vote of the electorate; it cannot be amended or repealed by the City Council unless the initiative expressly allows such action.
