A. COMPLETED PRESERVATION WORK ON THE HISTORICAL QUEENS
ROAD PILLAR
Staff reported to the Commission on recently completed preservation work
at the historical Queens Road Pillar, and shared pre-project and post-
project photos.
Commissioner Ragno asked if a commemorative plaque would be
Page 2 of 8 4
installed.
Commissioner Karliss asked if the color of the pillar is final and if an
inscription would be installed.
Commissioner Cottrell asked about the City’s long-term preservation plan.
Staff reported they will need to seek out more information, such as the
City’s historic preservation team member and the project’s historic
preservation consultant, about possibly placing signage like a plaque
and/or an inscription on the pillar in the future. Staff confirmed the color is
final and was selected based on the historic preservation consultant’s
paint sampling, testing, and recommendation, and reassured the
Commission that staff now have the correct paint color on hand to touch
up the pillar after acts of vandalism as required.
PUBLIC COMMENT:
Victor Omelczenko, WEST HOLLYWOOD, shared history about the
Queens Road Pillar and the journey it took to designate it as a local
cultural resource. He requested staff to consider adding proper historic
signage to the pillar’s recessed niche areas and for staff to provide an
update on the project to the City’s Historic Preservation Commission.
Hollace Brown, LOS ANGELES, shared that she has been a long-time
advocate and is the person responsible for submitting the historic
preservation application for the Queens Road Pillar. She thanked staff and
shared appreciate for the support and work completed to date on the
pillar’s restoration; however, she considers the work to be only half-way
done. She expressed concerns for the pillar’s tilting, future graffiti and
other acts of vandalism, and would like the roadway lettering to be
restored.
Stephanie Harker, WEST HOLLYWOOD, started with a special thanks to
Hollace for championing the effort to designate Queens Road Pillar as a
local cultural resource, and spoke about the importance of historic gems
and landmarks especially in places where wide-spread new development
are occurring.
Chair Jackson asked staff about curb and no parking sign improvements
near the pillar.
Commissioner Cottrell thanked Hollace Brown.
ACTION: Receive and file.
B. REQUEST TO INSTALL A PLAQUE IN REMEMBRANCE OF THOSE
Page 3 of 8 4
DISAPPEARED BY ICE UNDER THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION
Staff provided information to the Commission on a City Council directive to
erect a plaque in remembrance of those disappeared by ICE under the
Trump Administration, in accordance with the City’s Memorials, Tribute
Trees, and Plaques Policy Guideline.
Commissioner Karliss lives near the plaque memorial in dedication to the
Disappeared Persons of Chile, but does not believe it is located in a high
foot-traffic area. He would like to see this plaque installed in a more visible
location.
Commissioner Ragno asked if this plaque request has to match or be
similar to the example of the plaque memorial in dedication to the
Disappeared Persons of Chile. Staff explained that it will be similar to what
Council has directed.
Vice Chair Krishna asked about the role of the City Policies
Subcommittee, which has been tasked to conduct a comprehensive
review of City policies under the purview of the Commission including the
City’s Memorials, Tribute Trees, and Plaques Policy Guideline. Staff
explained that this plaque request will be processed in accordance with
the current policy, but the work of the Subcommittee will still take place
and any final recommendations to amend existing policies from the
Commission will be submitted to the City Council to consider approving at
a future date.
PUBLIC COMMENT:
Victor Omelczenko, WEST HOLLYWOOD, asked staff to include location
addresses on future staff reports when referencing memorials in the city,
and spoke about the use of funds for memorials and political campaigns.
ACTION: Receive and file.
9. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
A. ANNUAL TOUR OF PUBLIC FACILITIES DISCUSSION
Members of the Commission reflected on and shared their comments from
their Annual Tour of Public Facilities, which was held on September 19,
2026. The Commission visited five locations throughout the city on the bus
tour.
Commissioner Ragno liked the new pedestrian lighting installed on La
Brea. He asked staff about the final lamp color, because the Commission
recommended a blue color. He also asked staff if the globe lamps on
Page 4 of 8 4
Santa Monica Blvd will be changed in the future. Staff will follow up with
Engineering and report back to the Commission about the final lamp color,
and reported there is no current direction or project to change the existing
lighting on Santa Monica Blvd.
Commissioner Payton enjoyed the discussion on the tour about the
difference between street lighting and safety lighting, and that it is
important to consider how lighting choices impact residents.
Commissioner Payton and Commissioner Cottrell both expressed their
excitement to see the new dog park at Plummer Park and the repairs at
the Sal Guarriello Veterans’ Memorial.
Commissioner Rogers agreed with previous comments and reflected on
previous tours, noting this year’s tour had higher energy and felt more
exciting. She especially enjoyed visiting the AIDS Monument at West
Hollywood Park.
Commissioner Karliss was unable to attend this year’s annual tour, and
asked staff if they heard from any of the neighbors regarding the new
parkway installation at 8700 Dorrington Avenue. Staff have not received
any feedback from the neighbors, but noted that that the plantings had to
be recently restored due to vandalism of the plants in that parkway.
Vice Chair Krishna agreed with previous comments and noted her
appreciation for walking through and talking about three locations in
Plummer Park, especially as the Plummer Park Comprehensive
Improvement Plan is picking up momentum.
Chair Jackson agreed with previous comments and expressed how
important it is for the Commission to hold the annual tour because it is
important for them to see the locations and projects that they weighed in
on and when they are completed.
PUBLIC COMMENT:
Victor Omelczenko, WEST HOLLYWOOD, shared his appreciation for the
Commission’s annual tour and that it is great to see the cracks restored at
the Sal Guarriello Veterans’ Memorial and the new AIDS Monument in
West Hollywood Park. He also spoke about the Fountain Ave bike lanes
project and the need for the City to expand its narrow sidewalks before
adding new bike lanes, because there are not many bicyclists in West
Hollywood.
Stephanie Harker, WEST HOLLYWOOD, shared that she always looks
forward to the Commission’s annual tour, and that it took the City four
years to complete the new dog park at Plummer Park, noting that the
Page 5 of 8 4
eastern edge is ten feet longer than planned. She informed staff that she
has heard there are not enough benches or trash cans in the new dog
park at Plummer Park. She spoke about an art piece she saw that is a
lamp powered by dog waste. She also encouraged staff and the
Commission to complete existing capital projects before doing new ones.
ACTION: Receive and discuss.
B. PROJECT UPDATES
Staff provided an update to the Commission on major projects led by the
Facilities & Field Services Division and answered their questions.
Commissioner Ragno asked about the Court Layout project and the
Crescent Heights memorials and replanting project.
Commissioner Payton asked when the design for the water polo netting
project will be completed.
Commissioner Karliss asked about funding for the Kings Road Park
Playground Replacement Project.
PUBLIC COMMENT:
Victor Omelczenko, WEST HOLLYWOOD, asked the Commission to
consider adding to its future agenda to receive information from staff about
the status of the Laurel House restoration project.
Anita Goswami, WEST HOLLYWOOD, spoke about public infrastructure
and appreciated the Commission’s look ahead calendar and major
projects list. She requested staff to consider creating one master project
list so that it is less difficult for the public to ascertain project status
because it would increase project visibility across all areas. She requested
staff to remember to inform the public earlier than is current practice, and
called attention to the Commission to remember to report incidents if they
ever encounter staff trying to obfuscate transparency efforts.
Stephanie Harker, WEST HOLLYWOOD, thanked the Commission for all
their work and DPW staff for being very responsive.
ACTION: Receive and discuss.

meetings of the Working Group, and applauded staff for achieving diversity of
participants, perspectives, and expertise in configuring Working Group members.
Commissioners Ragno, Cottrell, and Rogers made no further comments.
Commissioner Payton asked staff about timing for the next Kings Road Park
Visioning Subcommittee meeting and about preparations for the upcoming El Niño
season. She reminded staff to please forward to the Commissioners information on
City events that fall under their purview, like the soft opening of the Plummer Park
Dog Project. She also shared excitement for the upcoming fall and Halloween
themed events in the city.
Commissioner Karliss complimented the Recreation team on updating the monitors
at the ARC to now share upcoming event and calendar messages. He asked staff
about a recent City Council action to designate the Werle Building as a local cultural
resource, and about when the temporary fence will be removed along Robertson
Blvd. in West Hollywood Park. He also expressed his interest to move the animal
vaccine events from Code Compliance to Recreation.
Vice Chair Krishna inquired whether staff have received noise complaints since
opening the new dog park at Plummer Park, shared that she is completing CPR
trainings, and notified staff that the temperature settings in Great Hall/Long Hall are
quite cold, especially during their PP Planning Working Group meetings. Staff
shared they have received noise and smell complaints and are currently reviewing
and tweaking park maintenance schedules and security guard monitoring services
in response to these complaints. She also asked staff about what role the Facilities
Division has for the upcoming Live on Sunset event.
Chair Jackson reported completely her first class on ActiveNet, asked about the
status of more frequent rentals at Kings Road Park, asked staff to look into the
sidewalk holes near Laurel Hardware, and reiterated the public comment made on
the Laurel House and asked staff to place that project on their tracking list. She
closed the meeting with sincere remarks about the bus shooting that took place in
