A. CONSIDER AND APPROVE PROPOSAL FROM THE PALOS VERDES
PENINSULA LAND CONSERVANCY TO REMOVE ACACIA SHRUB AND
MUST A PLANT NEAR THE BORDER OF THE CITY OF ROLLING HILLS
AND THE NATURE PRESERVE.
City Manager Jeng referenced this agenda item at several previous City Council meetings where
the City Council expressed the desire to reach out to the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy
to discuss fuel modification. Staff reached out to the Conservancy Executive Director Adrienne
Mohan and conducted several meetings discussing opportunities to extend the Conservancy's
current fuel modification work to the border between Rolling Hills and the Conservancy. City
Manager Jeng reported that in response, Adrienne provided a proposal. Staff also discussed with
Adrienne if there is a possibility for eradication of Mustard plants rather than funding on-going
work on an annual basis. City Manager Jeng stated that the Conservancy has experience elsewhere
eliminating Mustard plants via the mow-and-kill method for a period of three years. Adrienne
included a long term plan to eradicate Mustard Plant in her proposal. After the three-year period,
the Conservancy would assess if replanting is appropriate based on the amount of seeding removed
through the mow-and-kill process. City Manager Jeng noted that the proposal for consideration is
comprised of two things: the first is immediate action to remove fire fuel along the border in the
Preserve. The second is the long term work shown on page 7 through 14 of the Conservancy's
proposal. City Manager Jeng introduced a staff member from the City of Rancho Palos Verdes
and from the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy in the audience who are available to
answer questions.
Councilmember Black pointed out on page 8 of 14 of the proposal and noted that the proposed
location of the work is too far from the City. Councilmember Black expressed desire to do the
fuel modification work proposed but preferred the work to be along the east-west direction rather
than along the north-south direction.
Mayor Pro Tern Pieper agreed with Councilmember Black that the fuel modification is important.
Mayor Mirsch asked to hear from the representative from the Conservancy. City Manager Jeng
introduced Cris Sarabia from the Conservancy.
Councilmember Black re-stated his preference for the locations of work for Mr. Sarabia. Mainly
the locations expressed are along the east-west directions along the border of Rolling Hills and the
Conservancy.
Mr. Sarabia responded that he would have to revisit the site to determine if the preferred locations
can allow a tractor mower to traverse the subject area. Areas with pockets of native plants cannot

City Council Meeting

be worked on with the mower but rather require a field crew to use smaller equipment to maneuver
around the native plants.
Mayor Pro Tem Pieper inquired if the Conservancy will perform the work or have a contractor
perform the work.
Mr. Sarabia responded that the Conservancy is exploring both options. The reason for the
identified locations is to provide flexibility as the selected areas allow large machinery and
continuous work.
Discussion ensued between Councilmember Black and Mr. Sarabia with respect to fuel
modification work locations depicted in several pages of the Conservancy's proposal. James
O'Neill, Public Works Department, City of Rancho Palos Verdes assisted in the discussion with
information related to the locations of recent fuel modification work conducted by Rancho Palos
Verdes.
Mr. O'Neill provided a possible explanation for Councilmember Black's observation of the
patches of fuel modification work near Mr. Alfred Visco's property. Mr. O'Neill noted that per
the Fire Department's requirement of 200 feet of clearance from structures,there may be a 30-foot
distance of the required 200-foot radius closest to the structure referenced while the remaining is
within the Nature Preserve.
Councilmember Black expressed that he does not feel that the 150-foot radius per the Fire
Department is adequate.
Mr. O'Neill inquired regarding the width of the barrier strip desired.
Mayor Pro Tem Pieper responded the wider the better. If 200 feet is the starting point, start with
that and move on to the next 200 feet.
Councilmember Wilson inquired about the eradication of the Mustard Plant and the optimal
timeframe for mowing, for budgeting purposes.
Mr. Sarabia responded that the Conservancy has extensive experience with eradicating Mustard
Plant. It is a long term process. Outlining the process, Mr. Sarabia noted that before the Mustard
Plant flower, the Conservancy will mow the plant before the seeds are dropped. Mowing now
when the Mustard Plant is dry will not help the seed bank but will eliminate the fuel load. But
next year,the Mustard Plant will be mowed before becoming dry and before the seeds are dropped
to reduce the seed bank. Mr. Sarabia noted that depending on the rainy season, the mowing are
scheduled for the Spring, Spring into Summer and Summer.
City Manager Jeng confirmed with Mr. Sarabia that there is $12,000 budget set aside per year.
The $12,000 covers the mowing prior to the rainy season but if there is second mowing needed in
that rainy season, the $12,000 would cover the second mowing.
Councilmember Dieringer inquired if Rancho Palos Verdes would be willing to cost share the
work since locations of the proposed work is not quite the desired areas of work. Also, the
proposed areas of work are all located in the Conservancy.
Mr. O'Neill responded that Rancho Palos Verdes' areas of responsibility are dictated by the Fire
Department's requirement of 200-foot radius from structures. The City of Rancho Palos Verdes
already fulfilled their responsibilities this year and will continue on an annual basis. Mr. O'Neill
noted that the City Council's desire is to create a fire strip outside of the areas of the 200-foot
radius from structures. In response to Councilmember Dieringer's inquiry, Mr. O'Neill clarified
that the City of Rancho Palos Verdes will perform fuel modification within 200 feet radius of
structures in Rolling Hills within the Nature Preserve with considerations for native habitat, if any
is present.
Mayor Mirsch inquired if the native vegetation within the 200-foot radius is dead, would the dead
vegetation be removed.
Minutes
City Council Meeting
10-14-19 -3-
Mr. Sarabia responded that the dead native vegetation would be removed.
In response to Councilmember Dieringer's inquiry, Mr. O'Neill responded that he could not
respond on behalf of the City of Rancho Palos Verdes City Council on the monetary contribution
for additional fuel modifications beyond the Fire Department's requirements.
Councilmember Black noted that the City should facilitate access to sites from the City of Rolling
Hills.
Mayor Mirsch clarified with Councilmember Black that access should be provided to the City of
Rancho Palos Verdes not only for the fuel modification work paid for by Rolling Hills but also for
the fuel modification work performed with the City of Rancho Palos Verdes on an annual basis.
Councilmember Dieringer inquired how long it would take to have a cost figure to provide a fire
strip along the border. She also inquired if there is a guarantee that three years of mow-and-kill
would eradicate the Mustard Plant.
Mr. Sarabia responded that it will take about two weeks to have a cost estimate for the fire strip
along the border. The Conservancy will not provide a guarantee for the expressed timeframe to
eradicate the Mustard Plant. It all depends on the type of seed bank.
Discussion ensued on the action to be taken by the City Council.
Councilmember Dieringer inquired about quality assurance about the scope of work that would be
performed. She also inquired about the time needed for the City of Rancho Palos Verdes to
respond to the request to cost share the fuel modification work.
Mr. Sarabia responded that photographs and monitoring documentation will be provided. The
Conservancy has an interest to eradicate the Mustard Plant. Mr. O'Neill responded that he will
discuss the cost share request with his City Manager.
Mayor Mirsch inquired if there is value to conduct a site visit with the Land Conservancy.
Councilmember Black expressed he does not want to slow the process down.
Alfred Visco, 15 Cinchring Road expressed that it is his understanding that the proposed work
does not need to go back to the City of Rancho Palos Verdes for approval for the work. He asked
for confirmation. Mr. Visco pointed to the pages of the proposal showing his property. He is
intimately aware of the fuel modification work adjacent to his property including giving
permission to the City of Rancho Palos Verdes to conduct the fuel modification work. Mr. Visco
provided his understanding of the Rancho Palos Verdes' fuel modification requirements. Mr.
Visco recommended to perform the annual mowing and Acacia removal right now. Anything
performed this year would be helpful. The City of Rancho Palos Verdes and the Land Conservancy
have completed their fire fuel modification for the year and will not be taking additional action on
this front. Mr. Visco also expressed that the City Council should take legal remedies against the
City of Rancho Palos Verdes.
Arval Witte expressed that we are close to a breakthrough. Mr. Witte provided information on
homes lost in past fires in the City of Rolling Hills. Mr. Witte also noted that he contributed to the
Land Conservancy.
Carol Witte noted that she walked down from the fire station, (Rim Trail) and she observed a lot
of fire fuel. It would take a spark to affect her home. Please do something about the fire fuel near
the fire station.
Mayor Pro Tem Pieper moved to approve the proposal as presented excluding the long term work.
The motion did not get a second.
Councilmember Black moved to approve the dollar amount including the on-going three year
annual work but modify the locations of work to be closer to and along the border of Rolling Hills.
Mayor Pro Tem Pieper seconded the motion.
Minutes
City Council Meeting
10-14-19 -4-
Discussions ensued on the proposed motion.
Mr. Sarabia clarified that the Conservancy only looked into the scope of work as far as Paint Brush
Trail.
City Manager Jeng expressed that the City Council appeared to be agreeable to page 9 of 14 and
page 10 of 14. She suggested that the City Council move forward with the scope of work that is
agreeable. She spoke with Cris and suggested to readjust the work on page of 8 of 14 to swing it
closer to the City border. The dollar amount dedicated to page 8 of 14, if it is reallocated may not
go far since the work is closer to the border which would need more manual labor and it would be
more costly. City Manager Jeng suggested to allow staff to further discuss with the Conservancy
regarding modified areas of work as requested by the City Council.
Discussions ensued on the modified areas of work.
Mayor Pro Tem Pieper expressed that any removal of fire fuel will be helpful. He expressed why
would the City not remove the big swath of Mustard Plant for $7,000. Mayor Pro Tem Pieper
noted that the City Council should approve as presented and the action might be approving a few
thousand dollars beyond what the City wanted but the work will eliminate fire fuel. If the work is
piecemealed, Mayor Pro Tem Pieper expressed that the City Council will continue to talk about
the matter and it will be weeks before any work commences. Mayor Pro Tern Pieper noted that
the only question is when the work will start.
Councilmember Black withdrew his motion.
Mr. Sarabia stated that he can mobilize crews to start the work within the next 10 days.
Mayor Mirsch asked the Conservancy to expedite the mobilization as soon as possible.
Mayor Pro Tenn Pieper motioned to approve the item as presented. Mayor Mirsch seconded the
motion.
Discussions ensued on re-directing work to the east-west direction as much as possible.
City Clerk Coronel repeated the motion as follows: Mayor Pro Tern Pieper motioned to approve
the item as presented. Councilmember Wilson seconded the motion and the motion carried without
objection by a voice vote as follows:
AYES: COUNCILMEMBERS: Mayor Mirsch,Pieper, Dieringer, Black, and Wilson
NOES: COUNCILMEMBERS: None.
ABSENT: COUNCILMEMBERS: None.
ABSTAIN: COUNCILMEMBERS: None.
B. CONSIDER AND APPROVE JOINT FEASIBILITY STUDY PROPOSED BY
THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS VERDES TO INSTALL SEWER MAN
LINES NEAR THE FLYING TRIANGLE AREA.
City Manager Jeng informed the Council that City of Rancho Palos Verdes reached out to discuss
opportunities for a joint sewer project that would address RPV's land movement and Rolling Hills'
desire for sewer mains. A subcommittee of the City Council of RPV requested several meetings
with two members of the City Council of Rolling Hills. Subsequent to Council's meeting with
RPV, RPV provided a proposal from the engineering consultant NV5 to perform a feasibility for
sewer main lines in the Flying Triangle area. RPV requested to cost share NV5's fees.
Councilmember Black motioned to approve the item as presented and approved the cost share
amount. Mayor Pro Tem Pieper seconded the motion.
Mayor Mirsch asked for public comments.

9. MATTERS FROM THE CITY COUNCIL AND MEETING ATTEND CE
REPORTS
A. DISCUSS ON-GOING CUSTOMER SERVICE ISSUES WITH COX
REPRESENTATIVE.
City Manager Jeng stated that at the last City Council meeting,Dr. Black requested an agenda item
to discuss customer service issues with COX. City Manager Jeng invited two members of the
COX team to the meeting. City Manager Jeng introduced Kristen Camuglia,the Government and
Regulatory Affairs Liaison and Rey Castro, Construction Supervisor for the Peninsula.
Mr. Castro informed the City Council that the company is investing in a five-year plan to improve
customer service.
Ms. Camuglia and Mr. Castro provided a presentation of the company with specific statistics for
the four Peninsula cities.
Councilmember Black requested confirmation that there is one group of technicians that address
the plant miles to the tap and another group of technicians that address from the tap to the home.
Councilmember Black inquired if there is another group that addresses issues within the home?
Mr. Castro responded yes they are the universal home technicians.
Mayor Mirsch inquired the contractors and if the level of service of the contractor should be the
same as technicians?
Mr. Castro responded yes the level of service should be consistent.
Councilmember Wilson noted that Rolling Inns is a gated community and trucks entering the City
showing COX on the truck is not a problem. However if the service truck does not have COX on

the truck, the truck would be turned away at the gate house.
Mr. Castro stated the company provides magnetic logo to contractors and the contractors are
required to have the magnetic logos on all trucks. COX inspects contractors' trucks for logos. Mr.
Castro will follow up on this matter.
Ms. Camuglia added that the contractors need to have an annual permit with the Association in
order to operate in the City.
Mayor Mirsch inquired if COX is converting to fiber in Rolling Hills.
Mr. Castro responded yes COX is conducting conversion to fiber in Rolling Hills.
Councilmember Black inquired if the conversion would replace existing poles.
Mr. Castro responded that COX does not own poles and rents pole for equipment.
Discussions ensued on customer site visit requests, missed visits, and COX's service window.
Mr. Castro informed the City Council that he can pull up specific service calls and address
customer service issues.
Councilmember Wilson outlined an incident that required six service requests to successfully
troubleshoot the issue. Councilmember Black discussed that COX equipment (panoramic wifi)
does not work for one story homes.
Ms. Camuglia informed the City Council data showing intermittent service in the Peninsula is
primarily due to squirrel chew and moisture depending on the time of day.
Councilmember Black inquired about the diagnostic process from squirrel chew and deteriorating
wires from moisture.
Ms. Camuglia informed the City Council that the COX company is a franchise of the State of
California. The California Public Utilities Commission left the customer oversight with the City
Council. On COX's bill, the City Hall's number is listed for customer complaints. COX has an
escalation program with a dedicated email and phone numbers to take service calls. Ms. Camuglia
will email the dedicated email and phone numbers to all City Councilmembers.
Mr. Castro offered to conduct a service study for Rolling Hills.
City Manager Jeng informed the City Council Rey was instrumental in starting the monthly utility
meetings aimed at moving forward with undergrounding project. City Manager Jeng suggested
that if Rey can have staff stay after the monthly utility meeting to have an outlet for residents to
get face to face customer service.
Mr. Castro committed to being available monthly to address existing customer service issues.
Councilmember Dieringer inquired if a secondary call is made, immediately after a technician
leaves a site, does the service call go back in the queue?
Ms. Camuglia recognized this has been the issue: the repeat call for service gets placed back into
the queue. Ms. Camuglia outlined a program that is changing the computer system to recognize
follow up calls should not be designed as tier one (introductory) calls.
Councilmember Black inquired what the City Council can do if COX does not follow up on these
customer issues.
Ms. Camuglia noted that the City of Rolling Hills Estates implemented a service standard. It is in
the ordinance.
City Manager Jeng said that staff will focus on addressing residents' customer service issues

through the monthly meetings and coordinate with the City of Rolling Hills Estates and the other
Peninsula cities on a regional effort to establishing service standards.
10. MATTERS FROM STAFF
A. RECEIVE AND FILE THIRD QUARTER 2019 REPORT ON FIRE FUEL
ABATEMENT ENFORCEMENT CASES.
Planning Director Schwartz reported that there were data errors in the City Council's packet and
the errors were corrected. The corrected data was provided on the dais. Planning Director
Schwartz provided statistics on the code cases for the quarter. There were four dead vegetation
enforcement cases that required the expertise of the arborist.
Mayor Mirsch inquired about the date the Code Enforcement Officer was employed on a full time
basis.
City Manager Jeng responded on October 9, 2019.
Mr. Visco discussed the location of the property at 7 Ranchero Road. Mr. Visco reported that the
said property showed little progress in eliminating fire fuel and discussed the adverse impact of
the lack of progress to the surrounding properties. Mr. Visco also reported that the City is being
too easy on Mr.Mok and he needs to comply with the City's dead vegetation ordinance. Mr.Visco
informed the City Council that he will sue someone to motivate progress on the said property.
Councilmember Black inquired about the code enforcement case on 2 Appaloosa.
Planning Director responded that the case should have noted the complaint unfounded.
Mayor Mirsch commented that there are 10 cases over one year old that are being monitored. This
is unacceptable. There needs to be more information beyond monitoring. Who does Delia report
to?
City Manager Jeng responded that Delia reports to the Planning Director. City Manager Jeng
reported that the previous Senior Planner created the initial list and there have been multiple lists
created by different staff. With more people working on code enforcement cases,it was discovered
that staff s nomenclature are different. One address may have multiple cases. Staff used addresses
as the reference. Of the multiple enforcement cases at an address,the address would be designated
active even though cases have been closed. The address would be designated closed only if all
cases on the address are closed. In the future staff will keep cases as separate line items to capture
the true duration of open cases.
The City Council received and file the item.
B. UPDATE ON TENNIS COURT IMPROVEMENTS (ORAL).
City Manager Jeng stated that she does not have new information to report on the cost of the
amenities proposed by the Association. Based on the conversation with the Association Manager
in the afternoon,the cost estimate requested would depend on if prevailing wage is required. City
Manager Jeng also reported that she had a conversation with the City Attorney with respect to
prevailing wage. If the Association requests contribution from the City,the project would have to
pay prevailing wage. If the projects were kept separate, the City would be required to pay
prevailing wage but the Association can proceed in the matter of their choice.
Mayor Pro Pieper inquired if there could be clear delineation of the projects.
City Manager Jeng outlined the components of the overall project and the sequence of the
components and reported that the Association Manager informed her that she will be taking the
project to the Association Board to confirm if they will be requesting contribution from the City.
More discussion is needed depending on the Association Board's vote.
Minutes
City Council Meeting
10-14-19 -9-
In response to Mayor Mirsch's inquiries, City Attorney Jenkins questioned if there is sufficient
savings from separating the project with having to manage the logistics needed to keep the projects
separate and successfully completed.
Discussions ensued on project sequencing.
City Manager Jeng noted that the lease agreement required the Association to get approval from
the City Council to move forward with the proposed amenities. City Manager Jeng reminded the
City Council that the decision was delayed to get cost estimate infoiiiiation on the proposed
amenities.
Mayor Pro Tem Pieper suggested that the Association provide the City a clear delineation of the
projects to move forward with constructing the projects separately.
Councilmember Dieringer inquired if it is possible for the City to move forward with the ADA
component of the project.
City Manager Jeng responded that yes it is feasible for the City to move forward with the A II A
component in advance of the Association's proposed amenities however the new improvement
may be cut into in order for the Association to place the septic tank and the plumbing needed for
the above ground amenities. City Manager Jeng outlined a sequence of work potentially to
separate the projects into three components.
City Manager Jeng noted that in the agenda items discussed earlier in the meeting, except for the
signing and striping,have been approved for funding from the budget set aside for the tennis court
improvement project. Given the status on the tennis court project it is unlikely that the budget set
aside for the project will be expended this fiscal year hence the recommendations to use the funds
for other priorities such as the Mustard Plant removal with the Conservancy.
City Manager Jeng noted that she will bring the item back once additional information is provided
by the Association.
The City Council received and filed the item.
At 10:14pm, the City Council took a 10 minute recess.
11. CLOSED SESSION
A. ANTICIPATED LITIGATION
The City Council finds, based on advice from the City Attorney, that discussion in
open session of the following described matter will prejudice the position of the
City in anticipated litigation:
ANTICIPATION OF LITIGATION: Government Code section 54956.9(d)(2)
and (e)(5)
A point has been reached where, in the opinion of the City Council on the advice
of its legal counsel,there is a significant exposure to litigation against the City.
Number of Potential Cases: One matter of threatened litigation
City Attorney Jenkins reported that there is no reportable action from closed session.
12. ADJOURNMENT
Hearing no further business before the City Council, Mayor Mirsch adjourned the meeting at
11:23p.m. The next regular meeting of the City Council is scheduled to be held on Monday,
