Civic Issues
Topics getting the most attention in Rancho Palos Verdes public meetings, ranked by how frequently they are discussed.
2 issues in general with critical priority
Landslide response and funding
Landslide spending has reached $56.9 million since 2022, and members estimate $13 million a year in permanent ongoing costs with no matching revenue. The CIP fund balance has dropped from $24.6 million to a projected $8.3 million, and members say residents everywhere on the hill will eventually pay through taxes or fees.
Landslide costs and buyout program
Quietly bundled in the consent calendar: the landslide emergency declaration was reconfirmed with new emergency contracts (including $1.5 million for on-call sewer repairs), and appraisal contracts for the voluntary property buyout program were extended into 2028 to keep Round 2 appraisals moving.
