Pacific Palisades Community Council

06/23/2026

This afternoon was beautiful overlooking Castellammare in Pacific Palisades at Villa de Leon which was built in 1927, and miraculously survived the January 7th fire.

Please join us for the latest PPCC Meeting this Thursday, June 25th at 6 pm via Zoom.

What’s on the agenda? ⁉️

This week will be the last meeting of the Current PPCC Officers’ Term.

The Board will hear remarks and thanks from our respected outgoing President Sue Kohl. The Board members and incoming officers will also thank all the current/outgoing officers: President Kohl, Vice-President Quentin Fleming, Treasurer Jenny Li, and Secretary Beth Holden-Garland, for their incredible service to the Board and community during these excruciating past 1+1/2 years — the most difficult time in Palisades history!

Area & At-large Election News
The names of Area & At-large incumbents running for re-election will be announced, along with the names of the Election Committee members, who will oversee the Palisades-wide Area & At-large Elections to take place later this summer. Stay tuned for more information about how to become a candidate — notice to be distributed on or before July 1st!

Grants Recommendations ~
The Grants Committee is recommending two more grants to worthy recipients for Board approval on the 25th: the Lowe Family YMCA and the Palisades Americanism Parade Association (PAPA). See the agenda for more details.

LADWP Presentation on Palisades Water Infrastructure.

**Last but not least, we will have an informative and important presentation by LADWP officials on Water Infrastructure in the Palisades — organized by the PPCC Infrastructure Committee**.

Committee Chair and VP-elect Reza Akef will moderate the discussion with LADWP.

There will be a lot to discuss and learn this week. A Zoom link and agenda are available on our website at www.pacpalicc.org (and in our bio).

We hope to see you there! Palisades Strong! 💙💪💫

Congratulations to PPCC President Sue Kohl for being honored today at City Hall with great introductory remarks by CD11 Councilwoman Traci Park.

Sue Kohl was acknowledged for her incredible and calm-under-pressure style during these past challenging 18 months since the January 7th fire. Bravo to Sue for her continuous dedication, hard work, and commitment to our Palisades community.

Thank you to those who attended today, and here’s to further collaboration and teamwork in the years ahead. ♥️🏆🙌

There is still so much natural beauty in the Palisades, and so very fitting to remember Will Rogers and his family for bequeathing this land for us all to enjoy.

A few photos taken today overlooking Will Rogers Beach, and the Will Rogers Polo Fields - which are now active & open again.

“The best way out of a difficulty is through it.” ~ Will Rogers

How prescient of him, and a tribute to his wisdom and continued relevance. The Rogers’ household home at the top of the polo fields is gone, but their family spirit lives on. ✨✨✨

Our next PPCC meeting will be this Thursday, June 11th at 6 pm by Zoom. A Zoom link is available on our website at www.pacpalicc.org.

What is on the agenda? The Board will elect new PPCC officers for the coming term, starting on July 1st. The election will be by acclamation, as there were no other nominations at our last gathering.

The wonderful candidates being inducted for the 2026-2027 term are: President - Allison Holdorff Polhill; Vice-President - Reza Akef; Treasurer - Daphne Gronich; Secretary - Caroline Nick.

The Grants Committee is also recommending several grants to worthy recipients for Board approval. These include: the Palisades Task Force on Homelessness, the Palisades Business Improvement District, Canyon Elementary, GriefHaven, Tahitian Terrace Radio, and Firesafe Palisades.

There will be proposed comments on the draft for AECOM Long Term Recovery Plan (LTRP). And lastly, an important motion is on the agenda for Board approval.

We look forward to seeing you Thursday! Palisades Strong!
