South Coast Botanic Gardens Will Receive New Security Fencing To Prevent Graffiti

The South Coast Botanic Gardens on the Palos Verdes Peninsula will receive a new chain link fence along Rolling Hills Road and the horse trail, Supervisor Don Knabe announced today.

Rolling Hills Estates Accomplishments

2007

 

Overhauling the Outdated Irrigation System at Los Verdes Golf Course
More than $2.6 million was invested into renovating the irrigation system at the County’s Los Verdes Golf Course on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. The new system will include a weather station and computer system to fully automate irrigation of the golf course. In addition to gauging water needs, the new system will also be capable of injecting fertilizer into the turf.
 

New funding for park projects
Supervisor Knabe dedicated $1.7 million in Proposition A Park funds to be used for various projects across the Fourth District. In Rolling Hills Estates, a portion of that funding will be used for the removal of non-native trees and plants and replacement with native plants.

Continuing Funding for the PVPTA Shuttle Service
The Board of Supervisors approved the disbursement of $408,200 to the Palos Verdes Peninsula Transit Authority to continue public transit services for the Fiscal Year 2007-2008. The funds for the disbursement come from the Fourth Supervisorial District's allocation of Proposition A Local Return Transit Program funds.
