The Los Angeles County Community Standards District for Baldwin Hills (the ordinance that regulates the oil field) includes the following provision.
A community advisory panel shall be established by the director [of regional planning] to foster communication about ongoing operations at the oil field and to allow the community representatives to provide input to the county and the operator.
The Community Advisory Panel (CAP) consists of 21 members, including representatives of Los Angeles County, PXP (the operator of the oil field), two of the landowners (who lease the field to PXP and receive oil royalties), and representatives from various neighborhood organizations (who are appointed to the CAP by the Los Angeles County Director of Regional Planning). The representative from Culver Crest (who also serves as co-chair of the CAP) is John Kuechle.
More information about the CAP, including a complete list of members, and agendas for past and upcoming meetings, can be found online at planning.lacounty.gov/baldwinhills/cap
