Overview
The Infrastructure Management Advisory Committee (IMAC) will:
  • Focus on the city's infrastructure needs.
  • Advise the City Council on capital improvement projects, maintenance issues and solutions.
  • Participate in the creation of the city's first-ever Infrastructure Management Plan.
The topics the IMAC will explore will include the following:
  • Palos Verdes Drive South / Portuguese Bend landslide
  • Park sites
  • Public buildings
  • Sanitary sewer system, including the Abalone Cove Sewer District
  • Stormwater system
  • Street rights-of-way
  • Traffic control devices
  • Trails
The IMAC will meet on a monthly basis and be subject to the Ralph M. Brown Act, which means the IMAC meetings are open to the public and committee member deliberations are conducted openly. The IMAC will prepare an annual work plan that includes reviewing each infrastructure category and reporting to the City Council and the community on the progress of projects, maintenance standards and performance, and the implementation of the Infrastructure Management Plan.
