With National Park and Recreation Month coming up in July, it's a perfect time to hear the annual report from our friends and partners at the Conejo Recreation and Park District. From classes to concerts, from swimming to STEM, there are all sorts of CRPD programs for residents of all ages. Parks really do make life better.
Fun fact: Did you know the city and CRPD jointly operate the Conejo Open Space Conservation Agency, which manages the ring of green that surrounds the city?
Interested in the Downtown Master Plan? Come attend the next Council meeting Tuesday, 6/24 at 6 pm!
The meeting will feature a video tour of a 3D model, with sections on public spaces; a proposed hotel; mixed-use buildings; renovation/building of City Hall; a public market and adaptive reuse of office space; and park areas.
As always, I encourage public comment at the meeting, especially on this project. I’ll also include links in comments to flyover videos.
This week I signed a series of letters signaling the city's positions on federal and state bills that would affect sustainability, resiliency, and housing in Thousand Oaks. We work with @leagueofcities and @calcities to develop policy positions that best serve city residents and businesses.
Declaración sobre los operativos de ICE en Thousand Oaks.
Be an ally of all who work for acceptance and belonging – regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, skin color, national origin, intellectual or physical ability, or faith. *This* is how we break the cycle of hatred and intolerance.
The City Council observed Pride Month with a proclamation to Unity Conejo celebrating LGBTQ+ residents and their many contributions to our community. In a period of increased threats and violence against LGBTQ+ individuals, Unity Conejo’s work to promote safety and tolerance is especially important.
In this community, we seek to treat everyone with dignity and respect. Each year, the Council reaffirms our city’s #1 goal of being an “equitable, accessible, safe, welcoming, and inclusive” government and community for all residents. (1/2)

Today marks a proud and hopeful milestone for the City of Thousand Oaks with the opening of the Thrive Grove Navigation Center, which uses tiny homes to provide temporary housing and wraparound services for unhoused residents.
The people of Thousand Oaks asked us to address homelessness, and today we made good on that request. Thrive Grove represents our commitment to compassion, to dignity, to the belief that everyone deserves a path forward.
Interested in learning more? The Navigation Center is hosting an open house this Saturday, 5/10, from 10-4.

Today I signed five more letters stating the city's position on state bills that would affect Thousand Oaks residents and businesses.
Positions are based on the city's best interests, not on personal beliefs. For example, while I have concerns as a civil libertarian about ALPR data retention and potential abuse, I also recognize that police investigations often take longer than 30 days. Given that the well-being of all residents is Job 1 for all public servants, public safety benefits come first.
Congratulations to our neighbors in Moorpark on the opening of a new City Hall! The new facility is a huge improvement, and a great credit to the city’s Council and staff. It also provides some ideas of what we can do in TO as we develop the Downtown Master Plan.

Come on out to the Conejo Chinese Cultural Association festival, which runs through 3 pm today at Conejo Creek North Park! Hundreds of residents, maybe more, are enjoying the sunshine and celebrating 50+ years of education about Chinese culture here in the Conejo Valley.
Another great Arbor Earth Day celebration is in the books, and I think this was the best yet. Attendees not only got free compost (thanks, @athensservices) and saw some cool EVs, but also got to check out dozens of other booths with great ideas about sustainability, recycling, and resilience.
The event may be over, but it’s not too late to offer input on the city’s revision of its Active Transportation Plan at toaksatp.org.
Thanks to all who put this together, and all who attended!

Today I signed five more letters in support of bills now working their way through the state legislature in Sacramento. If enacted, these bills will improve the quality of life of residents and businesses here in Thousand Oaks.
