AS the Palisades starts to the rebuilding process a unifying voice is needed.
After the Palisades Fire, some residents felt there was a need for many groups to form to deal with the different situations arising.
Now more than a year later, it seems that some groups are duplicating efforts. Governmental officials are sometimes confused about which group speaks for the community.
Suggested by governmental officials, a decision was made to bring all groups under the Pacific Palisades Community Council, an elected body, so that all Palisadians could work together in unison to bring results.
The letter (below) was shared with the many active groups.
This coming Tuesday will be the final All Pacific Palisades Community Groups meeting. Moving forward, meetings will take place at a Advisory Task Force (ATF)/Committee level under the community council.
Volunteers are sought to serve on the following Task Forces/Committees:
- Infrastructure – Already formed. If any openings become available, Reza Akef, chair of the committee will reach out.
- Logistics and Evacuation Planning
- Advocacy and Media Relations
- Community Engagement
If you are interested in participating, please click here and indicate:
- The committee/topic you are interested in
- Your relevant expertise or background
- Whether you can commit to serving at this time or would prefer to be considered as an alternate
Please note that participation is not guaranteed. Each ATF will be limited in size and structured to ensure broad community representation.
Each group will determine its own meeting schedule and coordinate monthly or bi-monthly meetings with their respective City counterparts.
And if you do not currently belong to a group, but would like to volunteer with the community council, please use the email above.
