Motion to approve letter to Mayor Karen Bass (who authorized this new hired at almost double that of her predecessor) demand the immediate investigation into the Department of Water and Power (LADWP), CEO Janisse Quiñones (her annual salary is $750,000) for her lack of performance of the duties she was hired to perform.  Under Quiñones’ leadership, the Santa Ynez Reservoir had been closed since about February 2024 for repairs to its cover, leaving a 117-million-gallon water storage complex empty in the heart of the Palisades for nearly a year. LADWP sought bids for the repair in April, at a cost of up to $89,000. In November, the utility signed off on a contract with a Lakeside firm for about $130,000, records show.  The status of the repairs is unclear. The DWP’s employee union leader condemned the months-long wait to restore the reservoir.  “It’s completely unacceptable that this reservoir was empty for almost a year for minor repairs,” Gus Corona, business manager of IBEW Local 18, said in an interview with The Times.  “This work should have been done in-house, and they shouldn’t have depended on a contractor to do it,” he said. “I truly believe it’s something that could have been avoided.”  Joseph Ramallo, a chief communications officer for DWP, said the reservoir was scheduled to reopen in February.
