________
At our last meeting in October, on October 15, 2026, we heard from our guest speaker CW Traci Park, who first gave an update on the status of the fire in Malibu, and then provided information about the proposed Disaster Recovery District (DRD) for the Palisades. She and her Planning Director Craig Bullock stressed the importance of a DRD for the Palisades’ recovery, noting that there will be a special community meeting in the coming weeks to discuss the DRD in greater detail (TBA), with the City Council Budget & Finance Committee expected to take up the matter in November (date TBD). They requested that community members attend the hearings in City Council to demonstrate support. Craig Bullock also explained that the a critical first step will be for the Council to pass a “Resolution of Intention” (ROI) by the January 7th deadline, to allow for further determination and an eventual decision on establishment of the DRD. We will inform the community as soon as the expected hearing dates are known. We also had an update from our Grants Committee on the status of grants awarded by PPCC to date, as well as further updates and reports from board members, government reps and the PPCC Awards Committees and Infrastructure Committee.
