COMMUNITY NOTICE From SRA Board:
There will be a SeaView Residents Association community meeting to discuss community security at Ladera Linda, Tuesday October 22nd from 7:00 to 8:30 PM. The City Manager, Sheriff’s Department, and County Fire Department will be present to discuss the implementation of portable lights, parking permits for SeaView, enhanced Sheriff’s patrols in SeaView and placement of the Command Center trailer, and emergency services access to SeaView. Residents are encouraged to attend in person to ask questions. A Zoom link will be provided in a follow up email.
Residents in the land movement area will be holding an organizational meeting at Ladera Linda next Monday at Ladera Linda at 6:00PM. SeaView residents who would like to assist our neighbors in specific projects are encouraged to attend.
There have been Wednesday evening Mend the Bend dinners at Ladera Linda. Thank you for joining Wednesday night dinners at Ladera Linda in support of neighbors who have lost their basic utilities. Community Support and awareness is always appreciated.
A reminder that these Wednesday meals are meant for those 320+ residents directly affected by the RPV landslide, who have lost basic utilities and are unable to cook. The meals are provided primarily for those residents.
Residents with utilities are encouraged to support the effort by patronizing the generous restaurants who are supporting this effort, donating supplies for the next 2 dinners, bringing something to share, have a beverage and circulate and chat with affected neighbors and offer smiles, hugs, and support, but please allow the restaurants to serve those families directly impacted by the loss of gas and electricity for whom this is a godsend.
City Council Meeting
- Donations via the Rotary Club for landslide affected residents can be made. There is a Q/R code on the City Website that individuals can use to make donations.
- Public safety reimbursement programs are in place again. Neighborhoods up to $2000 for an HOA/Residents Association. Up to $100 for an individual.

Winterization efforts.
- Underway in Altamira Canyon. Will be expanded to other canyons in the next few weeks.
- KCLAD Canyons will be in the next few weeks.
- Graben filling in SeaView is scheduled to begin in the latter part of next week. This will involve placement of a cap at the intersection, liner, and pumps at Exultant and Dauntless. Regrading will be done to fill the other fissures. There will be specific interruptions to resident traffic flow that will likely be done house to house as it will be individualized.
- A question was asked about moving the sewer lines along Dauntless above ground. The infrastructure changes to do so would be extensive and likely take a long time to complete hence not being considered at this time.
- The two red tagged homes in SeaView are under the control of banks. The City has been in touch with the banks to try to seal the ground and to demolish the homes. If they are not able to get a response, they anticipate needing to get an abatement order and to do it themselves.
