Residential Sound Insulation (RSI)
Program Termination
The RSI program used funds from Los
Angeles World Airports (LAWA) and the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to treat
homes from the effects of noise from LAX. As
of May 11, 2018, LAWA and FAA ceased
to reimburse the City of El Segundo for RSI
administrative expenditures. This means the
RSI program cannot continue unless expenses
are paid from the City’s general fund and there
is no predictable schedule when construction
can restart. Terms and conditions for performing
RSI work have changed and some of the
criteria are yet to be resolved. As such, the
City does not feel that there is a benefit to
the residents for continuing to be involved
in this process. Instead, staff recommends
that the airport be responsible for mitigating
the noise it creates, which is the normal RSI
arrangement throughout the country.

all outstanding and I’m grateful to be part
of it now,” McCollum said.
A native of Des Moines, Iowa, McCollum
earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in English
from Dartmouth College and then a Master
of Science in Information at the University
of Michigan. Upon moving to Los Angeles
in 1999, she worked as an archivist at Toyota
Motor Sales, USA and Twentieth Century
Fox Photo Archive. Her first position in a
public library was as an audiovisual librarian
in Manhattan Beach in 2005. McCollum was
a community library manager at the Lawndale
Library (2007-2014), West Hollywood
Library (2014-2016) and Manhattan Beach
Library (2016-2018) – all part of the Los
Angeles County Library system.
Thinking back on how she gravitated
towards this particular career path, McCollum
recalls having a love for libraries and
books from a young age. “My mom was
a high school English teacher and stressed
the importance of literacy and education
during my childhood,” she said. “She also
taught me about inequities in access to information
and resources, and helped inspire
me to work in public libraries as a way to
help level the playing field. Similar to most
librarians, I believe that public libraries have
unique and incredible value as they provide
comfortable, safe and welcoming spaces for

Letters
El Segundo PO Landscape
Dear Postmaster Lorenzo,
My husband and I were located to El
Segundo by his company about four months
ago. I have enjoyed getting to know the community
and have come to the post office a
few times to mail packages. At first, when I
saw the terrible state of the yards that were
nothing but dirt and dead grass, trash scattered
about, low-limbed trees, and worn-away paint
markings for parking spaces, I was pretty
shocked, but then I thought the agency might
be preparing to have a new landscape put in.
Now, after the past couple months and
after talking to you, I know better. Thank you
for speaking with me but it is sad you have
no plan to improve the situation. I have to
remind you, that you are in charge of a large,
United States Post Office. There should be a
sense of pride--not only in the building--but
also in the landscape. As a leader of such a
place, I can imagine you got into your role
because you were resourceful, exercised good
judgment, and had excellent communication
skills with employees and customers, so I feel
you are qualified to make your workplace
better. I am encouraging you to make it happen!
I look forward to seeing your display
of championing the cause to clean things up
so the rest of us can be proud of our local
post office! Yours for a Better El Segundo,
– Debra Dingman •
