Summary

Two residents alerted the City Council to hillside slippage at Woodland Hills tied to an SD1 pipe project; the mayor said he had discussed the issue with SD1 and called it a private matter between SD1 and Woodland Hills.

Two Southgate residents told the City Council on Sept. 18 that a project by SD1 has coincided with hillside slippage at the Woodland Hills neighborhood, prompting concerns about public-safety risks and property impacts.

Terry Petering and David Basinger raised the issue during the public-comment period. Mayor Hamberg said he had spoken with SD1 and characterized the problem as “a private matter between SD1 and Woodland Hills.” The council did not take formal action or direct staff to open an independent city investigation during the meeting.

The exchange was limited to public comment and a brief mayoral response; no SD1 representative addressed the Council and no timeline or mitigation plan was presented. Council members did not vote or issue a directive at the meeting.
