Sept. 16 meeting to feature public safety briefings, wildfire recovery updates and remarks by Jeffrey Prang

Los Angeles County Assessor Jeffrey Prang is expected to deliver prepared remarks when the Altadena Town Council convenes on Sept. 16, headlining a meeting that will also feature reports from law enforcement, fire officials and local agencies.

The council will meet at 7 p.m. at the Altadena Community Center, 730 E. Altadena Drive. The session will be streamed live on Pasadena Media’s YouTube channel.

Assessor Prang’s address appears under the meeting’s special presentations. His office is responsible for assessing the value of more than 2.5 million properties in Los Angeles County, work that underpins the county’s property-tax system.

Public safety updates are scheduled to precede his remarks, with reports from the Altadena Sheriff’s Station, the California Highway Patrol and the Los Angeles County Fire Department.

Fire officials are expected to present both a Division 3 update and a forestry report by Ranger Raymond Kidd.

A wide-ranging segment of community reports is also planned.

Items include a wildfire recovery update from the Community Coalition for Altadena Recovery, a Rotary Club report, and two Los Angeles County Public Works presentations—one on tree replacement along the Eaton Fire Parkway, and another on a draft equity framework. Updates from the Altadena Library District, county parks officials, the Eaton Canyon Nature Center, the Eaton Fire Collaborative and the Owen Brown Committee are also listed.

The agenda calls for additional reports from council committees on land use, legislation, education and wildfire recovery funds.

The meeting will open with a student-led flag salute, roll call and officers’ reports.

Members of the public are invited to comment but must submit a card before or during the session; remarks will be limited to two minutes. The council is also scheduled to hear reports from census tracts 4602 and 4611 before adjourning.
