Board leans toward voluntary seismic upgrades for five buildings to balance safety and budget
Summary
District consultants presented seismic eligibility findings for five buildings and estimated a voluntary seismic strengthening at roughly $1.7 million versus a full upgrade near $10 million (with possible state funding). The board directed staff toward the voluntary (risk‑management) approach to preserve bond resources for broader needs.
District consultants told the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified board that structural surveys have identified five buildings as potentially seismically vulnerable (MiraLeste library and locker room; Peninsula High library and lunch shelter; Palos Verdes High multipurpose building). The consultants outlined three options: do nothing, a voluntary seismic strengthening, or a full seismic upgrade that meets current code and would be substantially more intrusive.
