Regular Meeting
October 15, 2024
known as Reorganization 2014-03 to the City of Calabasas and the City of Hidden Hills, Detachment from County Road District No. 3, Withdrawal from County Lighting Maintenance District No. 1687, Withdrawal from the Los Angeles County Library, and approving an Agreement for Sharing City Sales Tax Revenues pursuant to Reorganization 2014-03; and 2) Approve an Agreement between City of Calabasas and City of Hidden Hills for Specified Property Tax Revenue Sharing for Reorganization No. 2014-03; and 3) Direct and Delegate the Authority to the City Manager to make minor revisions and to execute the final Resolution and agreements for the Craftsman's Corner Annexation upon approval by counterparties.
Interim City Attorney Jenkins presented the following report:
This staff report outlines the final steps of a decade-long process to annex property known as Craftsman Corner, located between Calabasas and Hidden Hills, from unincorporated Los Angeles County to the two cities. The annexation was initiated in 2014 through an application to the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO), the body responsible for overseeing changes in local government boundaries. The annexation will add a total of 176 acres to the two cities, with 164 acres going to Calabasas and 12 acres to Hidden Hills. Of the 12 acres being annexed to Hidden Hills, four -
acres are developed with three single-family homes, while the remainder is open space. These three homes, located behind gates, will now be included within Hidden Hills' city boundaries.
The report asks for the approval of two key items: 1) A Joint Resolution, which is a technical resolution that involves several government agencies and ensures the proper adjustment of county and other local taxing authorities, which must now tax the annexed areas as part of the respective cities rather than as unincorporated county land; and 2) An Agreement between Calabasas and Hidden Hills - Calabasas has agreed to share 25% of the property tax revenue from the 164 acres annexed to Calabasas with Hidden Hills. This share will be allocated to Hidden Hills for municipal purposes, providing a financial benefit to the city. These actions will facilitate the completion of the annexation process, with LAFCO's final approval pending once the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors adopts the resolution. The City of Hidden Hills will also gain jurisdiction over the newly annexed 12 acres, allowing the city to control zoning and development on the land.
Resident Mathy Wasserman asked a few questions regarding the annexation of additional acreage into Hidden Hills, particularly in relation to undeveloped areas. First, aside from the land at the end of Oakfield, she asked where is the remaining annexed acreage located within the Hidden Hills boundaries? She also asked how will this land be secured or integrated into the current community? Additionally, will the new homes in these annexed areas be included in the Hidden Hills HOA, or will they be excluded, as we've seen with some homes near the front gate in the past? She also understands that only three homes have been developed so far on the 12 acres within Hidden Hills-are these homes part of the HOA, and what are the plans for the remaining -
undeveloped land? Finally, she'd like to know who owns the hillside area—is it city-owned, or is it privately owned, and if the latter, who holds ownership?
City Council Minutes
Regular Meeting
October 15, 2024
Interim City Attorney Jenkins confirmed that the newly annexed land falls under the community's CC&Rs, even though it's situated outside the city limits. This creates an unusual situation, as the land is part of the Hidden Hills Association's jurisdiction despite not being officially within city boundaries. The remaining uninhabited acreage consists of a single 8-acre parcel located immediately southeast of Bridle Trail Road and southwest of Lasher Road. The exact location isn't perfectly clear, but it's generally described as a narrow, hillside area often referred to as "the finger." This topography suggests it's primarily a slope or ridge, which may impact its development potential or usage within the community. City officials, including the City Manager and City Engineer, have confirmed that they have visited the site, but even they appear to have limited precise knowledge of the area's exact coordinates. The hillside parcel was formerly owned by Mike Ashley, though current ownership is thought to have possibly transferred to someone named Ronen Nahum. However, this ownership is still somewhat uncertain among officials.
Resident Bret Katz raised a question regarding the impact of this annexation on any prior agreements. He expressed uncertainty, acknowledging the existence of previous agreements that had been reached and possibly voted upon. His curiosity centers on how this newly annexed land, and its inclusion under the CC&Rs, might affect or interact with those earlier arrangements.
Interim City Attorney Jenkins addressed Mr. Katz's question by seeking clarification on which prior agreements he was referring to. Mr. Jenkins mentioned that there were indeed agreements made between Hidden Hills and Calabasas related to annexation, but he emphasized that the current annexation process is simply a continuation of those earlier steps. He also noted that the initial agreement, dating back to around 2014, outlined the terms of the annexation. While the City Council had voted on and passed the agreement, it didn't immediately result in formal annexation because it required additional approvals and processing by other entities, specifically LAFCO (Local Agency Formation Commission) and the City of Calabasas, before it could return to Hidden Hills in its final form. Now, this final version of the agreement has returned, and Mr. Jenkins reassured Mr. Katz that the terms of this agreement closely mirror those initially established in 2014. If anything, the original agreement's terms are effectively preserved, though they are now in a finalized format. Mr. Jenkins concluded by mentioning that Mr. Katz likely has access to the complete history of the process if he needs additional clarification.
Council Member McCorkindale thanked everyone for their work on the annexation and shared her excitement about the Craftsman's Corner project, saying it's a great addition for the area. She gave acknowledgment to Calabasas for the revenue-sharing deal and to former Council Member Stuart Siegel, who put in years of effort to make this happen. She mentioned that Calabasas has actually wanted to annex Craftsman's Corner for almost 30 years, with some added delays due to COVID, so it's nice to see it finally moving forward.
Upon MOTION by Council Member Wasserman, seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Weber and unanimously carried on a roll call vote, the City Council resolved to approve and adopt the joint resolution, approve the agreement -
with the City of Calabasas for the property tax sharing exchange and to authorize the Mayor to sign both on behalf of the city.

B. Library Services Agreement with Calabasas
Interim City Attorney Jenkins presented a staff report recommending approval of a new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Calabasas to extend shared library services. He explained that since 2013, Hidden Hills has partnered with Calabasas on library resources, allowing Hidden Hills residents to access Calabasas Library services in exchange for dedicated property tax revenue. This partnership was governed by two successive five-year MOUs, with the latest expiring in mid-2023. The proposed MOU, already approved by Calabasas, would renew this arrangement. Hidden Hills residents will continue to access the Calabasas Library as local patrons, and Calabasas residents will gain access to any future library services developed by Hidden Hills. Calabasas has also agreed to return $538,850 in unspent library-dedicated funds to Hidden Hills, which will be reserved for future library initiatives. Mr. Jenkins highlighted the MOU as a practical example of intercity collaboration, emphasizing its benefits in optimizing resources and maintaining a positive regional relationship. He then opened the floor for council questions.
Council Member Wasserman sought clarification, asking if the MOU ensures that all Calabasas Library services will be available indefinitely to Hidden Hills residents, without any restrictions, as long as the library exists. He also confirmed that this agreement includes a $538,000 refund to Hidden Hills and questioned if any limitations -
apply to residents' access to library services, to which Mr. Jenkins confirmed that Council Member Wasserman was correct.
Council Member McCorkindale also wanted to confirm that the MOU includes free book transfers and access to study rooms, just like Calabasas residents get. She pointed out that on page 3 of the MOU, it lists all the services Hidden Hills residents will have access to, like library cards, online catalogs, interlibrary loans, study rooms, and library events. She hoped this would help clear things up for everyone.
Resident Mathy Wasserman asked if the City Council would consider reinstating a library commissioner to continue the role of connecting Hidden Hills with Calabasas' library, ensuring that communication remains open, healthy, and engaging between the two cities.
Council Member McCorkindale expressed her thanks to Calabasas City Manager Kinden for being great to work with, as well as to Mayor Weintraub and the Calabasas City Council. She recognized the patience of everyone involved and hoped it had paid off now that library services are secured. Ms. McCorkindale also suggested to Mayor Gold that, given the confusion and rumors surrounding the project, a letter be sent to all Hidden Hills residents once the resolution is approved. The letter would help explain the details and clear up any misunderstandings, keeping everyone informed.
Mayor Gold warmly reflected on the long journey to finalize the library services agreement, expressing gratitude for reaching this milestone. She thanked Library Committee Member Joe Loggia, the entire council, and both cities' staff for their dedication and hard work. Mayor Gold celebrated the MOU as a testament to -
the strong partnership between Hidden Hills and Calabasas, describing it as a "Yin-Yang" relationship where Calabasas provides a physical library and Hidden Hills brings a digital component. She called this collaboration a wonderful achievement that embodies the best of resource-sharing and serves both communities beautifully.

C. Receive and File the 2024 Fiesta Report - THIS ITEM HAS MOVED TO END OF MEETING
6. PRESENTATIONS
A. Spectrum/Charter
Interim City Manager Molleda introduced Howard Pointer from Spectrum Charter, sharing the city's ongoing efforts to improve internet services for residents. Earlier this year, the Council declined a previous bid due to a sharp rise in fiber costs post-pandemic and challenges in securing necessary easements. Meanwhile, residents have reported better service quality thanks to Spectrum's recent upgrades. Since then, the Council has focused on partnering with Spectrum, whose executives are now exploring an opportunity to make Hidden Hills the first community to implement a direct residential fiber project, which could simplify access and reduce costs. Additionally, Spectrum has proposed a "high split" fiber-like solution, a future-proofing option that requires no city funding and is already being rolled out nationwide. Mr. Pointer will elaborate on these possibilities tonight, providing foundational insights to prepare the Council for an upcoming study session on all available options.
Mr. Pointer, Spectrum's Area Vice President, introduced himself and his team, noting that Spectrum had previously not participated in Hidden Hills' fiber project due to timing but is now presenting two options for faster internet. The first option, "fiber to the home," provides symmetrical speeds of 1 gigabyte up and down, though it comes with a significant build-out cost. The second, "high split" technology, upgrades existing hybrid fiber coax cables to deliver similar speeds with no cost to the association and minimal disruption to residents, but it won't be available until 2026. Mr. Pointer also clarified that current residents could opt for an enterprise fiber circuit offering speeds from 1 to 100 gigabytes. Regarding pricing, Pointer explained that in areas where high split technology is already offered, the pricing for speed tiers remains the same as if customers had chosen the 1 gig symmetrical fiber to the home option.
Mr. Pointer discussed the high split and direct fiber options for Hidden Hills, confirming that high split is expected to begin in 2026, with no cost to the city and no change in resident pricing. While direct fiber would require extensive street boring and trenching, taking up to 7 months, high split would use existing infrastructure, causing minimal disruption. Both options would provide similar one gig symmetrical speeds, with the main difference being the infrastructure type. He also reassured the council that both systems would be equally reliable, with high split functioning similarly to fiber, though both would be impacted during an outage.

October 15, 2024
During the discussion, Mr. Pointer was asked about the cost of implementing direct fiber to the home, which he estimated to be between $2.8 and $3 million. An inquiry about the reliability differences between high split and direct fiber was mentioned, and Mr. Pointer confirmed there would be no noticeable difference in reliability. Regarding the timing of the high split project, he mentioned that work in Hidden Hills is tentatively set to start in April 2026 and run through November 2026, potentially extending into the first quarter of 2027.
He was also asked about the complications if Hidden Hills switched from high split to direct fiber later. Mr.
Pointer acknowledged this as a valid concern and promised to conduct further research, as it may involve challenges in transitioning from one system to the other.
During the discussion, a resident asked about the trenching needed for fiber installation, particularly in areas like Eldorado Meadow and the "Zuckerman Tract". Mr. Pointer explained that while there might be minimal trenching, it would only occur in places where underground boring isn't feasible due to other utilities. He emphasized that Spectrum is using existing rights of way to minimize disruption. The resident also asked about speeds with high split technology, and Mr. Pointer confirmed it would offer one gig symmetrical speeds, similar to fiber to the home, with potential future speeds up to 10 gig symmetrical. Finally, the resident inquired about network redundancy, and he assured that redundancy is built into the system, with updates to prevent past issues like service outages during the Woolsey fires.
-
During the meeting, a Mr. Pointer was asked three questions about high split technology. First, if upgrading or replacing equipment would incur additional costs. Mr. Pointer confirmed there would be no charge for the upgrade, as Spectrum would swap the equipment at no cost, but there would be a fee for higher speed packages like one gig symmetrical. Second, he was asked if upstream and downstream speeds would be guaranteed, regardless of simultaneous users. Mr. Pointer explained that while simultaneous users wouldn't significantly affect speeds, results may vary based on the devices used for testing. Lastly, he was asked if routers or switches could impact speeds, to which Mr. Pointer confirmed that outdated equipment could limit performance, and keeping devices updated is crucial for optimal speeds.
B. Southern California Edison - Grid Hardening Update
Tiffeny Heppel from Southern California Edison (SCE) outlined an ongoing infrastructure project in Hidden Hills, which involves replacing power lines with covered conductors, installing new poles, and upgrading equipment across 9 miles. Work begins on October 17th, starting with Kit Carson, John Fremont, and Jed Smith Roads. To minimize outages, generators will be installed at each transformer pole, with two scheduled outages: October 18th for generator installation and October 28th for line re-energizing. The project is planned in phases, with 6 of 20 segments expected to be completed by December. Covered conductors will improve reliability by preventing outages caused by hazards like animals and falling branches, and reduce the likelihood of Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS).
A concern raised by about the impact on residents with underground utilities. Ms. Heppel clarified that while underground sections are not directly affected by the covered conductor installation, they may still experience outages as the overhead lines supply power to these underground circuits. Notifications will need to be sent to residents in these areas to inform them of potential disruptions.

Additionally, there was an inquiry about possible conflicts between personal backup generators and SCE's planned generators. Ms. Heppel explained that the new generators installed by SCE will be sufficient to power the affected areas, so personal generators should not be necessary. However, it was acknowledged that residents with automatic generators may need to manually turn them off during the outage. SCE will verify whether manual intervention will be required, though SCE's generators will automatically shut off once power is restored, assuming system balance is maintained.
In summary, this infrastructure improvement project aims to enhance the reliability of the power system, reduce disruptions caused by wildlife and environmental factors, and minimize the need for emergency power shutoffs.
Ms. Tiffeny Heppel noted that while the use of generators to minimize outages is a strategy being applied to this community, similar approaches have been used in other cities as well. The choice to deploy generators in Hidden Hills is due to the size and structure of the community, which makes it easier to manage the work in smaller, controlled segments. This approach aims to limit disruptions and prevent multiple outages during the construction process. Additionally, Southern California Edison (SCE) will handle all notifications to residents about when they will be impacted by outages, not the city. SCE will send out notifications with the dates and estimated times of outages to ensure residents are informed.
Resident Gabe Nussbaum from Kit Carson Road raised several concerns about the infrastructure project and Southern California Edison (SCE) work in Hidden Hills, such as the following: 1) why residents were caught off guard by crews digging around poles for new guy wires, asking for better communication; 2) how many poles are in Hidden Hills, which was confirmed around 411, and SCE stated both primary and secondary poles are included in the count. Any poles needing replacement, regardless of type, will be swapped out; 3) if poles not being replaced would be treated for fire resistance. SCE clarified that non-replaced secondary poles wouldn't get fire-resistant treatment, as the secondary conductor is already covered. It was confirmed that new poles would be composite, which are fire-resistant; 4) if the existing conductor would be upsized. SCE confirmed that while the conductor will be covered, its size won't change; 6) Mr. Nussbaum expressed concern about Tesla Power walls interfering with backup generators. Ms. Heppel acknowledged the issue and suggested coordination with construction crews and guidance on managing interactions between SCE's generators and Power walls; 7) and finally Mr. Nussbaum asked if the Wildfire Mitigation Program started in 2018 and if the upgrades were part of that initiative. Ms. Heppel confirmed the program began in 2018 but couldn't elaborate further in the meeting.
To keep the meeting moving, Mayor Gold suggested that Resident Gabe Nussbaum save his remaining questions for after the meeting, where he could go over them in detail with Edison reps Tiffeny Heppel and Tony Martinelli.
Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Report - August The August security report was all zeros, including trespassing incidents. Deputy Baldi stated that he enjoyed working Fiesta and is excited for Halloween, looking forward to costumes and decorations. The City Council thanked them for staying through the meeting and suggested moving them up on the agenda next time.

C. Community Brigade and Home Ignition Zone Assessments from the Los Angeles Emergency Preparedness Foundation (LAEPF)
Brent Woodworth presented a PowerPoint covering key efforts to bolster community wildfire resilience, highlighting the need to adapt to ongoing fire threats. He referenced the Woolsey Fire's devastating impact, which inspired new strategies like the home ignition zone assessments and explained how insurance costs and long rebuild times create extra challenges. With over five years of collaboration between community leaders and the LA County Fire Department, Mr. Woodworth described the launch of community brigades in seven high-risk communities, including Hidden Hills, which Chief Maroney personally selected due to its high fire risk. This pilot, the first of its kind in the U.S., unites residents and fire professionals to enhance both fire prevention and response.
Keegan Gibbs and Drew Smith echoed the importance of local engagement, emphasizing home hardening, neighborhood accountability, and using existing community networks to spread emergency alerts. Smith noted the program's success as a "force multiplier" for fire readiness.
Mr. Woodworth concluded by encouraging residents to take advantage of free home assessments, which identify fire risks around homes, and urged more Hidden Hills volunteers to join the community brigade to boost resilience. Recruitment strategies were discussed for the Community Brigade, pointing out a resident and CERT member Lucia Jacobson, who had joined the brigade. Mr. Gibbs, representing the brigade, replied that their most effective recruitment stems from the personal impact of wildfire. Many members have either lost homes themselves or have close friends and family who experienced loss during events like the Woolsey Fire. Neighbor-to-neighbor outreach and community meetings have been powerful methods, especially in Malibu, where they have greater visibility. In Hidden Hills, they're seeking to connect with residents who are deeply rooted in the area, those likely to remain long-term and become strong advocates for resilience. City Hall suggested inviting brigade members to an HOA meeting, which could draw 50-60 residents—a promising outreach opportunity.

ITEM C - FIESTA REPORT - MOVED FROM EARLIER IN THE MEETING Administrative Analyst Williams shared an update on the recent annual fiesta, noting it was a great success, with higher survey responses this year than in the previous two. Over 90% of respondents attended at least one event, and the overall feedback was very positive, with useful suggestions for improvement. Right after the fiesta, staff conducted a thorough review to ensure they can replicate successes and focus on areas for -
enhancement to make Fiesta 2025 even better. City Hall also announced that, for those who prefer an October fiesta, the city has secured dates for the next three years: October 18-19, 2025; October 17-18, 2026; and October 16-17, 2027.
City Council Minutes
Regular Meeting
October 15, 2024
Council Member McCorkindale reviewed the survey results from this year's fiesta and proposed several improvements for Fiesta 2025. She suggested increasing parade diversity and addressing flow issues, exploring new food options by changing the caterer, and eliminating the requirement for advance registration for contests. She also recommended addressing arena dust, improving the pancake breakfast experience, and prohibiting commercial advertising on floats. Additionally, she advocated for better communication with dignitaries, sending event dates earlier, updating outdated banners, and offering non-dairy milk options at the coffee stand. Overall, she emphasized the importance of better organization, earlier planning, and responding to community feedback to make the next fiesta even more successful.
Gratitude was expressed toward all the volunteers and staff who worked hard to make Fiesta a success. It was emphasized how lucky the community is to have such events and acknowledged that while feedback is always welcomed, it should be seen as an opportunity for improvement, not complaints. The focus is on striving for excellence and being responsive to the community's needs, while acknowledging that perfection is impossible. Appreciation was reiterated for the volunteers and staff and looks forward to continuing to make Fiesta better each year.
Mayor Pro Tem Weber noted that staff had been proactive this year by holding a debrief with Covered 6 and -
other committee members, gathering valuable feedback to improve future events. The goal is to create a more organized plan based on these insights. Mayor Pro Tem Weber also mentioned the issues with the event date this year, with difficulties securing rides and scheduling conflicts with holidays of various faiths. There was a suggestion to move Fiesta to November, but after a protest, the best available option was to keep it in mid- September to avoid the complications that would arise from a later November date, especially after Halloween.
Mayor Gold thanked Council Member McCorkindale for emphasizing diverse dietary needs and supported the idea of upgrading food offerings. She also praised the city's addition of handicapped parking and the successful implementation of connectivity for Fiesta, ensuring everyone had access. She agreed with feedback about improving prizes, adding more rides for younger children, and bringing back the popular slide. She also suggested including more animals in the parade, like horses and carriages, and proposed a new event, such as a charity poker or bingo tournament. She concluded by thanking the volunteers and staff for their hard work and the success of the event.
