To the editor: I’m a lifelong Palisades resident who misplaced two properties and most of my possessions within the Palisades fireplace. I’m very a lot engaged in fireplace restoration efforts and have attended many conferences. I’ve not heard one phrase from or about Hagerty Consulting since their weak presentation on the April 10 Pacific Palisades Group Council assembly that was described in your article (“As L.A. rebuilds from the Palisades fireplace, residents ask: What’s the plan?” Might 18).
Many established and new Pacific Palisades neighborhood teams are working arduous on fireplace restoration, as is Metropolis Councilmember Traci Park and her group. Town of Los Angeles and Hagerty Consulting don’t appear to be practically as organized or succesful as our native organizations. We don’t want generic consulting jargon. We’d like motion. If town can’t deal with this, give your tens of millions to the native Palisades organizations to instantly assist our restoration.
