malibusurfsidenews.com NEWS Malibu surfside news | March 21, 2019 | 9 News Briefs Presidential candidate visits Malibu Jay Inslee, the democratic governor of Washington state, visited the Woolsey fire wreckage over Malibu Hill at the decimated Seminole Springs mobile home park home on March 11. Inslee, who is running a campaign on global warming, was mortified to see the wreckage. After looking at the remains of the homes, he said that the United States president should protect these communities and houses being routinely burned to the ground was unacceptable. He disagreed with President Donald Trump’s suggestion that California can prevent fires by raking the forests. Insley is one of 12 announced democrats running against Trump. Malibu receives a new poet laureate Ellen Reich has been selected by the city’s Cultural Arts Commission to serve as the 2019-2021 Malibu Poet Laureate. Part of the Malibu community since 1974, Reich has been devoted to poetry for several years, with 19 years of service as the Emeritus Chair of Creative Writing at Santa Monica College. She will be the second poet laureate appointed by the city of Malibu. She will receive a stipend of $2000 annually. Her predecessor, Ricardo Means Yabarra was the first port laureate, appointed in March 2018. He worked with members of the Laureate Committee to bring poetry into local school classrooms, host readings and events and help create programs that highlight and celebrate the spoken word. The city is excited to welcome Reich and see what she brings to the community. Nearly 150 properties cleared of Woolsey, Hill Fire debris State contractors have removed burned metal, concrete, ash and debris from nearly 150 residential properties in Los Angeles and Ventura counties affected by the Woolsey and Hill fires and whose owners are participating in the state’s Consolidated Debris Removal Program, officials with the Debris Removal Operations Center said last week. To date, state crews have cleared eligible debris from 127 properties in Los Angeles County and from 21 parcels in Ventura County and are expected to begin implementing erosion control measures Wednesday on properties where all clean-up goals have been achieved. Further action on the rest of the cleared properties is pending the results of testing and analysis within the next two weeks by a state-certified laboratory of soil samples collected at each property to determine whether the soil samples meet state health and environmental standards. Under the state program, administered by CalRecycle and the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services (Cal OES), property owners who opt in incur no direct costs for the removal of eligible debris. Debris removal operations on the 148 cleared sites followed earlier site assessments, asbestos surveys and, where necessary, asbestos abatements of those properties. Debris removal officials also reported that contractors have completed site assessments on 844 properties – 748 in Los Angeles County and 96 in Ventura County. They also have completed 816 asbestos surveys, 737 of them in Los Angeles County. During site assessments of properties whose owners have opted into the state program, contractors document and photograph property lines, the location of septic tanks, the footprints of foundations and ash, as well as objects that pose a hazard or hamper operations such as trees, pools and vehicles. Contractors also have completed 737 asbestos surveys in Los Angeles County and 96 in Ventura County. During the asbestos surveys, state contractors canvass each property for asbestos containing materials (ACMs) and collect samples of materials suspected of containing ACMs for testing. Properties with ACMs are scheduled for abatement. Those with no ACMs present are scheduled for debris removal. Contractors also may tip standing chimneys for later removal. Property owners who have submitted ROEs can meet one-on-one with debris removal experts from their respective counties to discuss the status of their ROEs and issues related to their property at the Debris Removal Operations Center (DROC) located at 26610 Agoura Road in Calabasas. The DROC is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, and from 9 a.m. to 12 noon on Saturdays. Debris officials will notify property owners who have opted in to the state program 24-48 hours prior to the start of debris removal operations on their property. Property owners may walk the property with crews before work begins. For more information in Los Angeles County, visit lacounty.gov/LACountyRecovers or call (626) 979-5370. For more information in Ventura County, visit www.venturacountyrecovers.org or call (805) 504-7869. City to ask for state grant for fire planning Malibu City Council plans to ask for $100 thousand state grant to pay for fire planning. A 576 page Malibu Community Wildfire Protection Plan was produced in the year 2010 by the nonprofit ForEvergreen Forestry. The city’s emergency planning coordinator at the time, Brad Davis, was listed as a consultant but the plan lacked details on evacuation procedures or timely warnings. Three years later, a regional Community Wildfire Protection Plan was produced by the L A County Fire Department., analyzing fire hazards, but no action was taken for wither of the two plans. The current plan however will respond to the concerns of each neighborhood and draw up unique evacuation plans and strategies. Playgrounds to be replaced in Malibu The City of Malibu Community Services Department will from 6-7 p.m. on April 2 at the Malibu City Hal, 23825 Stuart Ranch Road, present ideas and conceptual designs for the replacement of two small playground areas at Malibu Bluffs Park. Recommendations include a fitness station in the current zip-line area and a small climbing and agility playground for children ages 2-5 in the sand-digger area. Community members are invited to provide feedback on the conceptual designs and let the city know the type of equipment you prefer.
