Rolling Hills Estates project awaits approval from Willdan and LA County Fire

The City Council meeting for Rolling Hills Estates took place on May 12, 2025, focusing on various updates and administrative matters. The meeting began with a report on a city capital project currently under review by Willdan, the planning department's consultant. The project, which is split between Rolling Hills Estates and Rolling Hills, is expected to take an additional two to three weeks for completion of the review process.

The council member overseeing the project noted that they had reached out to LA County Fire for a timeline on their review but had not received a response. However, they expressed confidence that all parties involved were working to expedite the process. Once Willdan completes its review, the project engineer will need to obtain an over-the-counter approval from LA County, which will include a waiver of fees due to the project's status as a city capital initiative.

The engineer, Sam Simon, indicated that approved plans could be ready for bidding within the next two to three weeks. Following this update, the council moved to close public comments and proceeded to a vote on the matter, which passed unanimously.

Additionally, the council declared a vacancy on the traffic commission and directed staff to publicly announce the opening. This decision aims to ensure that the commission remains functional and can continue its work on traffic-related issues in the community.

In summary, the meeting addressed key updates on the city capital project and administrative actions regarding the traffic commission, with a focus on maintaining progress and transparency in local governance.
