Well
good
evening,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
and
welcome
to
our
annual
city
council,
reorganization
meeting
and
tonight
I
am
joined
by
mayor
pro
tem,
claudia
bill
de
la
pena
she's
to
my
left
about
12
feet.
So,
therefore,
we're
not
going
to
use
our
masks
tonight
because
we
feel
we're
properly
socially
distanced
in
our
audience.
This
evening
we
have
our
city
manager,
drew
powers,
our
city
attorney,
tracy,
newnan
and
deputy
city
manager,
gary
rogers
joining
us.
B
D
B
And
I
am
here
thank
you
first
off
I'd
like
to
welcome
and
thank
the
many
state
county
and
city
elected
officials
and
their
representatives
that
are
here
this
evening,
including
our
former
mayors.
I
appreciate
you
joining
us
tonight
and
we're
going
to
get
started
off
with
a
very
pleasant
duty
that
I
have
and
that
is
to
recognize
our
forum
theater
seat
dedications
for
the
for
the
evening.
B
So
back
in
1984,
the
thousand
of
city
council
initiated
the
annual
council
seat
dedication
program
to
recognize
citizens
who
have
demonstrated
outstanding
service
to
our
community.
This
evening
the
city
council
is
pleased
to
honor
this
year's
council
seat
dedication,
recipients
patricia
and
george
jones.
B
B
All
right,
as
a
personal
note,
I've
known
patricia
george
for
probably
35
years
now
and
george
everything
I'm
about
to
say
about.
You
is
true,
correct,
absolutely,
absolutely
wonderful!
People,
let
me
tell
you,
for
nearly
40
years,
george
and
patricia
jones
have
dedicated
themselves
to
supporting
the
city
of
thousand
oaks
and
its
residents
as
business
owners
and
philanthropists.
B
They
have
generously
given
their
time
their
talents
and
resources
to
a
variety
of
non-profit
organizations,
most
notably
senior
concerns
and
the
alliance
for
the
arts
now
known
as
to
arts,
patricia
served
as
the
president
and
ceo
of
the
alliance
of
the
arts
for
15
years.
She
was
renowned
for
her
fundraising
skills
and
was
responsible
for
raising
over
20
million
dollars
for
the
alliance,
including
funding
two
important
endowments
one
for
the
operations
and
maintenance
of
the
theater.
B
B
Patricia
is
currently
volunteering
her
time
as
chair
of
the
board
for
senior
concerns
aboard,
she
has
served
on
for
eight
years.
She
and
george
are
devoted
benefactors
of
the
organization
and
in
2018
the
couple
was
recognized
for
their
contributions
by
nee
by
being
named
senior
concerns
philanthropists
of
the
year
the
following
year.
They
were
nominated
for
the
thousand
oaks
council
on
aging
senior
of
the
year,
patricia
and
george
have
also
both
served
on
the
board
of
trustees
for
lys
robles
hospital.
B
B
E
It
felt
like
home
to
me
the
minute
I
drove
down
thousand
oaks
boulevard
back
in
1982
and
for
george
back
in
1979,
and
the
people
of
the
city
make
it
even
more
special
of
a
place
to
live.
You
know
we're
honored
and
proud
to
live
and
work
and
volunteer
in
this
great
city.
We're
so
proud
of
you,
al
claudia,
ed,
bob,
jackie,
linda
and
andy
for
all
your
years
of
service
over
the
years,
and
thank
you
so
much
for
your
tenacity
to
keep
the
city
great.
F
F
It
was
a
lot
of
fun
very
great
and
ed
jones
forever
is
he's
pretty
old,
just
like
me,
but
anyway,
this
is
a
city
where
people
love
one
another.
We
don't
care
about
our
political
affiliation
and
religion
and
all
of
that
stuff.
Those
are
things
that
don't
get
in
our
way
of
what
I
want
to
know
jackie
earlier
together.
F
E
B
B
B
D
D
There
are
several
individuals
who
are
here
this
evening,
virtually
not
in
person,
and
I
would
like
to
call
upon
them
individually
to
present
to
our
outgoing
mayor,
mr
al
adam,
and
the
first
vip
that
I
have
on
my
list
here
is
assembly
woman,
jackie
irwin
is:
are
they
all
in
in
the
room,
so
to
speak?
Okay,
I.
G
All
right,
thank
you
very
much
mayor
pro
tem
and
city
council,
and-
and
I
want
to
echo
what
my
former
colleagues
said
about
patricia
and
george.
You
two
have
contributed
immensely
to
the
city
of
thousand
oaks.
So
what
a
great
honor
and
very
very
well
deserved,
and
so
al
I
want
to
just
take
a
minute
to
say
thank
you
for
your
incredible
leadership
as
you
and
your
team
guided
us
through
this
pandemic.
G
With
you
at
the
helm,
our
city
was
able
to
support
our
small
businesses
with
over
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
in
grants,
and
you
work
to
create
the
million
dollar
rent
relief
program
for
the
citizens
of
thousand
oaks,
and
while
you
might
not
be
quite
ready
for
60
minutes,
your
updates
were
informative,
engaging
and
perhaps
when
the
civic
arts
plaza
opens
back
up.
You
could
do
a
comedy
night
with
your
outtake
reel
under
your
watch.
The
dream
of
making
thousand
oaks
and
ventura
county
a
biotech
hub
has
moved
even
closer
to
our
end
goal.
G
I
so
appreciate
you
protecting
our
quality
of
life
here
in
thousand
oaks,
while
keeping
an
eye
on
the
needs
and
possibilities
of
our
city's
vibrant
future.
I
look
forward
to
our
continued
relationship
as
we
fight
this
virus
heal
our
communities,
support
our
local
businesses
and
move
forward
to
a
brighter
tomorrow.
Thank
you,
al
for
all
your
work
over
the
past
year.
D
H
Please,
with
mr
cohen,
are
you
going
to
leave
the
effort
of
the
mayor's?
I
see
we
also
have
obviously
assembly
member
jackie,
irwin
and
ed
jones
was
once
a
mayor
too.
We
have
a
quite
a
few
as
well
as
mr
fox,
but
I'll
go
ahead
and
just
state
that
I
so
much
appreciate
how
mayor
adam
was
putting
his
face
out
there
and
at
a
great
sacrifice
you
know,
of
his
time
and
and
and
these
days
of
cobin
getting
out.
There
is
not
an
easy
thing
to
do
so.
H
It
took
some
courage
to
do
that,
but
it
was
so
important
to
have
that
information
for
our
public,
and
I
really
appreciate
that
extra
work
that
he
had
to
do.
It
seems
our
little
city
has
gone
through
a
lot
in
the
last
few
years
and
each
year
we
step
up
to
the
plate.
You
know,
we've
had
some
wonderful
leadership
and,
and
your
leadership
in
this
critical
time
was
really
important
too.
So,
on
behalf
of
the
county
of
ventura,
I
want
to
give
you
our
our
sincere
thanks.
I
F
I
D
Me
we
can
see
you
and
we
can
hear
you,
mr
cohen,
all
right.
Perhaps
if
mr
cohen
is
not
ready,
we
can
go
to
the
next
guest
and
mr
cohen,
if
you
could,
let
us
know
when
you
are
ready.
That
would
be
great,
but
for
now
we
will
go
to
the
chairperson
of
the
conejo
recreation
and
park
district,
and
that
is
george
lang,
who
just
won
re-election
himself.
Congratulations.
J
J
J
At
this
time
I
want
to
recognize
our
outgoing
mayor
adam
for
his
leadership
during
the
most
challenging
past
year.
But
I
first
want
to
extend
congratulations
and
welcome
kevin
mcnamee
for
becoming
the
city's
newest
council
member.
So
welcome
kevin
good
to
see
your
face
and
I'm
sure
we'll
have
an
opportunity
to
interact
down
the
road
and
looking
forward
to
it.
J
So
thank
you
al
for
doing
all
the
things
you've
done
and
as
our
leader,
but
even
in
the
midst
of
global
pandemic
civil
unrest
and
challenging
political
times.
The
city
of
thousand
oaks
has
focused
on
local
issues
and
delivering
important
and
essential
services
to
the
people
and
businesses
in
the
canal
valley.
J
So
congratulations
and
thank
you,
mayor,
l
adam,
as
well
as
the
city,
council
and
city
staff,
for
having
a
steady
hand
during
one
of
the
most
odd
years
in
our
city's
history.
We
couldn't,
as
we
know,
we
couldn't
gather
in
person.
So
al
was
instrumental
in
keeping
us
informed
in
with
the
zoom
calls
the
city
transition
to
new
technology
as
we're
experiencing
this
evening.
J
So
on
behalf
of
my
fellow
board
members
and
crpd
staff,
we
want
to
thank
you
all
for
your
hard
work
al
and
on
behalf
of
all
of
us.
We
want
to
say
thanks
for
the
many
things
that
we
do
as
a
two
government
agencies
together
in
collaboration,
but
at
this
time
I
would
like
to
follow
a
crpd
annual
tradition
of
presenting
the
outgoing
mayor
with
small
recreational
gifts.
J
You'll
receive
a
round
of
golf
at
none
other
than
the
las
robles
golf
course
and
you're
going
to
get
a
golf
glove
and
a
cute
plush
covert
toy.
To
kind
of
remind
you
of
these
challenges
that
we've
all
experienced,
but
in
general
thank
you
al.
We
appreciate
you
so
much
and
a
little
side
note
al
and
I
go
back
long
before
our
involvement
with
the
city
in
the
park
district
as
we've
both
served
on
the
corporate
board
of
the
ymca
together.
J
D
K
You
mayor
pro
tem.
Yes,
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
quick
recognition.
I
know
chair
george
lang
is
given
our
formal
recognition,
but
I
just
wanted
to
offer
my
congratulations
to
mayor
al
adam
and
his
re-election,
and
also
to
council
member
elect
kevin
mcnamee
for
his
new
election
to
the
council
and
just
wanted
to
reach
out
to
those
two,
but
also
to
the
entire
city
council
and
say
well.
K
We've
had
a
challenging
year
look
forward
to
working
with
you
in
this
upcoming
year
and
as
as
george
was
mentioning
that
we
do
have
a
great
relationship,
look
forward
to
extending
that
and
finding
many
great
opportunities
to
continue
to
serve
our
community,
and
I
just
he
was-
was
noticing
that
on
the
agenda,
how
we
have
even
recognized
jim
friedl
as
our
our
general
manager
as
a
member
of
the
executive
team
for
the
city,
which
just
goes
to
reinforce
how
we
do
work
so
closely
together.
So
again,
thank
you
all
again.
K
I
I
Tradition
of
the
mayor's
cup
began
by
current
council
member
ed
jones
in
presenting
the
cup,
which
I
believe
is
already
in
city
hall,
because
I
dropped
it
off
there.
The
other
day
to
the
super
mayor,
al
adam,
the
the
cup
is
offered
on
behalf
of
all
the
former
mayors
of
the
city,
and
I
tonight
I'm
just
reminded
to
call
out
the
very
first
mayor
of
the
city,
bob
talley
and
a
couple
of
the
creator.
D
E
Good
evening
mayor
pro
tem,
mayor,
adam
and
council
members,
what
a
year
there
was
no
way
for
any
of
us
to
foresee
the
challenges
that
would
lie
ahead
in
your
second
term
as
mayor,
but
your
experienced
leadership
on
the
city
council
served
both
the
businesses
and
the
residents
of
thousand
oaks.
So
well
during
this
challenging
time.
E
E
We
thank
you
for
your
leadership
that
has
laid
the
foundation
for
the
city
to
meet
the
challenges
ahead
in
2021.
As
a
small
token
of
our
appreciation,
we
have
a
personalized
crystal
paperweight.
If
you
can
see
it
a
little
bit
from
here
from
a
thousand
oaks
business
to
commemorate
your
year
of
2020
as
mayor,
and
we
look
forward
to
our
continued
work
together
in
2021.
D
L
To
see
you
mayor
pro
tem
thanks,
I
just
want
to
echo
the
comments
of
rory
that
made
first.
I
want
to
congratulate
george
and
patricia
jones
with
the
seat
dedications.
Obviously
we
we
look
to
folks
that
have
had
tremendous
impact
on
our
community,
but
a
number
of
the
people
that
have
seat
dedications.
L
I
would
really
rank,
as
you
know,
legends
in
our
community
and
I
think,
george
and
patricia
should
certainly
you
know
fit
that
role
with
the
amount
of
work
that
they've
done
just
from
a
civic
standpoint
and
the
non-profits
and
their
engagement
in
so
many
ways.
It
was
really
fitting
that
council
dedicated
those
seats
to
such
a
great
couple.
So
congratulations
to
both
of
you
and
just
the
well-deserved,
also
want
to
just
pass
along
my
thanks
to
the
entire
city
council
for
navigating
the
city
through
a
very
very
difficult
year.
L
Arguably
one
of
the
most
difficult
in
the
history
of
the
entire
city,
as
the
nation
still
deals
with
the
pandemic.
We
have
been
affected
by
that,
certainly
here
in
ventura,
county
and,
of
course,
in
thousand
oaks.
I
want
to
do
a
quick
shout
out
to
our
assembly
member
jackie
irwin,
who
always
does
a
great
job
representing
us
in
sacramento,
but
most
particularly,
I
want
to
thank
the
council
for
their
great
leadership
throughout
this
entire
year.
Finally,
I
want
to
just
pass
along
my
congratulations
to
mary
adam
for
again
just
a
remarkable
year.
L
It's
been
my
observation
that
council
members
that
rotate
through
the
mayor's
job,
in
my
view,
having
had
a
little
experience
at
it
now
you
got
a
ways
to
go,
but
I
have
six
mugs.
So
you
can
work
your
way
through
that,
thanks
to
ed,
but
some
mirrors
really
rise
to
the
occasion
and
I
would
say
more
than
others,
and
in
the
stripper
year
al
you
did
a
remarkable
job
you're,
one
of
the
only
leaders
in
the
ventura
county
area
that
did
those
updates
on
facebook.
You
kept
the
population
in
the
residence
informed.
L
As
jackie
pointed
out,
you
balanced
a
variety
of
competing
interests
and
you
just
represented
the
city
and
the
council
with
dignity,
professionalism
and
class
in
some
very
difficult
situations.
So
al
just
congratulations
to
you
and
your
family.
You
have
a
lot
to
be
proud
of.
I
also
want
to
congratulate
you
on
your
strong
re-election
and
a
really
well
done
campaign.
M
Good
evening,
mayor
pro-tem
de
la
pena
and
good
evening,
mayor
adams,
sean
muradian,
a
lifelong
resident
of
thousand
oaks
and
president
of
thousand
oaks
boulevard
association
on
behalf
of
the
association's
nearly
300
members
and
board
of
directors.
We
like
to
extend
a
great
deal
of
gratitude
and
appreciation
for
mayor
adams
and
his
public
services.
M
M
While
that
said,
he
still
contained
constant
communication
with
residents
and
businesses
through
monthly
calls,
videos
and
other
forms
of
community
outreach,
if
that
wasn't
enough
to
make
any
resident
of
thousand
oaks
proud
to
call
you
our
mayor.
Over
the
last
five
months,
mayor
adams
worked
tirelessly
for
reelection,
thankfully,
the
residence
2000
oaks
didn't
take
him
for
granted.
We
know
true
leadership,
isn't
shown
through
the
times
and
are
calm
and
easy.
True
leadership
is
shown
when
things
are
challenging
and
difficult.
M
You've
shown
true
leadership
during
this
pandemic
and
we're
grateful
that
you,
despite
the
difficulty
of
serving
a
public
office,
all
the
variety
opinions
at
times
on
leadership
decisions
you
make
to
protect
our
quality
of
life.
You
still
have
the
desire
to
serve
our
community
and
the
overwhelming
majority
of
the
residents
of
thousand
oaks.
M
We
know
it
wasn't
an
easy
race,
but
his
hard
work,
outreach
and
persistence
paid
off
the
thousands
porterville
association
is
here
as
a
resource
for
you.
If
you
need
anything
from
us,
we
look
forward
to
working
with
you
and
for
your
continued
success
on
the
city
council
to
the
rest
of
our
honorable
council
members,
ingler
bellapena
and
everyone's
favorite
uncle
councilmember
jones.
We
thank
you
as
well
for
your
service
to
our
community
and
for
everything.
You've
done
this
past
year
to
help
our
residences
and
businesses
get
through
this
historic
year.
N
Hi
there
good
evening,
thanks
for
giving
me
just
a
couple
of
minutes,
mayor
adam
just
on
behalf
of
the
city
organization
and
the
executive
team,
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
thank
you
for
your
tremendous
leadership.
This
year,
you
were
the
right
leader
for
us
during
one
of
the
most
difficult
years
in
this
this
organization's
history
and
from
your
commitment,
as
many
have
mentioned,
to
the
regular
updates
on
videos
and
your.
N
To
that
innovation
and
flexibility
and
being
nimble
to
do
those
at
home
and
engage
your
daughters
and
assisting
with
with
many
of
those
to
running
these
meetings.
In
this
capacity,
you
know
we
quickly
stood
up
the
opportunity
for
people
to
participate
via
zoom
via
phone
call,
and
we've
been
able
to
put
those
productions
forward
in
large
part
seamlessly
and
and
your
ability
to
do
that
at
mayor
as
mayor
was
really
special.
N
In
addition
to
pandemic
support
your
work
on
key
critical
projects
and
helping
to
champion
those
as
we've
moved
them
forward
through
this
year,
capital
projects,
your
work
when
I've
needed
you
on
when
I've
needed
the
the
mayor
on
a
call
regarding
biotech
issues
which
happened
on
a
number
of
occasions
this
year
and
to
deal
with
our
burgeoning
biotech
industry.
We're
always
there
we're
very
appreciative,
the
city
organization,
the
executive
team,
a
small
token
of
our
appreciation
from
the
executive
team.
D
D
All
right,
so
here
we
go.
This
is
a
plaque
that
we
present
to
the
outgoing
mayor
every
year
from
the
city
of
thousand
oaks,
and
this
is
dedicated
to
you
for
your
unusual
and
outstanding
service
this
year
unusual
because
we
found
ourselves
in
a
position
that
we
never
dreamt
of,
and
this
is
to
dedicate
the
year
of
2020
to
you
so
that
you
will
never
forget
2020
the
year
of
covet.
D
I
expect
that
that
was
done,
and
here
is
something
that
we
don't
normally
give
at
least
not
of
this
size,
but
great
leadership
requires
a
greater
presence.
Doesn't
it
so,
and
with
this
I
would
like
to
present
to
you
al
adam
mayer,
in
recognition
and
appreciation
and
appreciation
doesn't
go
far
enough,
because
this
year
was
very
different,
an
appreciation
of
your
service
dedication
to
the
city
of
thousand
oaks.
D
D
D
And
with
that
we
may
now
have
a
chance.
We
now
have
a
chance
to
share
comments
on
mayor
adams
service.
But
again
I
would
like
to
congratulate
you
on
an
outstanding
year,
an
outstanding
year
of
service,
simply
because
this
required
quite
the
leadership
and
quite
the
sacrifice,
and
you
rose
to
the
occasion
mayor
adam.
There
is
no
doubt
about
that.
We've
had
numerous
issues
and
problems
and
tragedy
that
we
have
experienced
as
a
city
starting
two
years
ago
with
borderline,
and
it
seems
it
never
ends.
D
F
F
F
I
saw
your
presentation
today,
including
the
outtakes.
Are
you
sure
you
weren't
raised
in
that
gallery
that
you
I
thought
you
were
for
a
while?
I
I'm
not
sure,
but
you
know
I.
I
really
think
you
have
a
talent
for
that,
and
maybe
you
ought
to
have
your
own
regular
tv
show
somewhere
to
have
a
wider
audience.
I
think
we're
you
know
we're
keeping
you
back
from.
Perhaps
a
you
know,
a
network
show
or
something
anyway
al
sincerely.
I
would
like
to
thank
you
for
all
you've
done
this
year.
K
K
That
was
the
recovery
year
from
that
this
was
going
to
be
our
move
forward
here
and
really
get
things
going
and
then
covet,
and
so
many
things
changed.
We
all
learned
a
whole
new
program.
This
zoom
thing
that
we're
using
now
we
heard
numerous
times
to
please
unmute
yourself,
there's
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
you
helped
lead
us
through,
and
I
appreciate
that
you
you
were
up
there
helping
us
do
that.
K
B
Thank
you
mayor
pro
tem
and
thank
you
all
for
those
kind
comments
means
a
lot
to
me
very
appreciative
of
that,
and
it
means
a
lot
to
me
that
you
showed
my
fellow
council
members
owner
mayor
pro
tem
showed
such
perseverance
and
patience
through
this
very
challenging
year.
You
all
hung
in
there
and
we
got
some
things
done,
and
it's
been
great
working
with
you.
B
B
You,
you
two,
have
been
really
wonderful
to
work
with
and
made
it
a
joy
to
put
together
the
things
we
did
this
year
and
to
the
totv
crew,
richard
swingler
and
carl
directly.
Thank
you
for
putting
up
with
this
amateur.
You
made
me
look
good
on
on
video
and
we
had
a
lot
of
fun,
doing
it
and
to
the
whole
city
team.
It's
just
amazing
how
well
the
city
has
done
through
this
whole
covet
epidemic.
B
I
mean
whether
it's
our
finance
department,
community
development,
public
works,
our
municipal
service
center,
everybody
pitched
in
everybody,
did
a
marvelous
job.
We
didn't
really
miss
a
beat.
I
tell
you
in
fact,
I
think
we
even
got
better
in
a
lot
of
respects,
so
you've
met
the
challenge
and
done
a
wonderful
job
this
year
and
speaking
of
this
year,
you
know
I
I
hear
people
say
well.
B
This
is
this:
is
a
year
I'd
like
to
forget,
and
there
are
some
things
this
year
I
wouldn't
mind
forgetting,
but
for
me
this
is
a
year
that
I
I'm
really
going
to
remember
and
I'm
going
to
remember
some
things
like
our
health
care
workers
at
les
robles
hospital,
which
I
visited
a
number
of
times,
dedicated
people,
courageous
people
putting
themselves
in
the
path
of
of
harm,
exposing
themselves
to
covet
treating
our
residents
fantastic
people.
Thank
you
so
much
for
what
you've
done
our
local
businesses,
especially
our
restaurants.
B
This
has
been
so
challenging,
but
you've
been
so
persistent
and
so
clever
and
creative
to
work
around
this
cove
and
with
the
outdoor
dining
that
you
put
together
and
and
all
the
things
I
just
bless
you
for
what
you've
done,
and
I
I
just
I
know
we're
going
to
make
it
through
this
thing.
Together,
our
social
service
agencies
senior
concerns
safe
passage,
adelante
communidad,
taking
care
of
the
vulnerable
people
in
our
community,
handing
out
food
and
clothing
and
helping
with
school.
It's
just
tremendous.
B
We
didn't
miss
a
beat
there
either
we
repaved
about
46
miles
of
streets
and
we
put
in
a
new
streetscape
out
in
front
of
our
new
project
there
around
herbs,
road,
big,
nice
wide
sidewalks
is
a
great
start
and
our
law
enforcement
community.
We
had
some
challenges
in
the
summer
we
had
some
marches
and
the
like,
and
they
just
did
a
wonderful
job.
Chief
fryhof
you're
be
to
be
commended.
B
Your
your
deputies
are
a
tremendous
asset
and
they
did
just
a
remarkable
job
with
the
with
the
young
folks,
the
young
and
old
that
were
in
those
marches
you
really
partnered
with
them
and
and
and
pulled
it
off
very
peacefully.
We
really
appreciate
that
and
finally
to
the
people
thousand
oaks.
I
know
this
has
not
been
easy.
You've
been
stuck
at
home
with
your
kids
with
remote
learning,
and
I
know
that's
not
easy.
You've
been
adaptable,
you've
cared
for
others
and
you've
taken
care
of
your
families,
and
that's
what's
most
important.
B
So
that's
going
to
be
happening
here
in
our
city
sooner
rather
than
later,
I
hope
got
a
great
outlook
for
new
jobs
in
our
biotech
hub,
I'm
so
excited
about
that
out
in
the
rancho
canelo
area,
westlake
bio
partners
we're
working
with
the
great
company,
that's
bringing
startups
to
this
area.
We've
got
amgen
out
there
atara.
You
know,
there's
over
over
ten
thousand
jobs
out
in
that
area
and
we're
adding
new
jobs
almost
every
day.
So
it's
quite
a
center
for
economic
growth.
B
B
I
talked
to
the
owner
of
the
company
that
built
that
today
and
he
thanked
me
for
mentioning
7010
in
our
state
of
the
city
address
and
there's
36
units
there.
It's
a
small
project.
Of
course
he
tells
me
there
are.
Are
you
ready,
190
indications
of
interest
for
those
36
units
and
that
that
I'll
tell
you
that's
some
of
the
best
news
I've
heard
in
in
a
long
time
that
shows
you.
There
is
a
demand
for
this
kind
of
project.
B
On
the
boulevard,
people
want
to
live
in
our
downtown
and
it's
not
even
finished
yet.
Where
do
we
get
the
downtown
done,
it'll
be
even
greater.
190
indicates
of
interest
for
36
units.
It's
just
very
inspiring,
we'll
finish
up
our
general
plan
update
this
year,
or
maybe
this
year,
maybe
a
little
bit
after
that's
a
big
deal.
B
So
most
of
you
know,
governor
newsom
issued
a
stay-at-home
order,
so
we're
still
faced
with
more
challenges
for
at
least
three
weeks.
I
did
sign
a
letter
today
that
we
sent
to
governor
newsom
asking
that
san
luis
obispo,
santa
barbara
and
ventura
counties
be
considered
separately
from
the
rest
of
the
southern
region,
which
includes
la
county
and
be
called
the
central
coast
region.
B
We
think
that
this
will
allow
us
to
assess
restrictions
that
won't
be
tied
as
much
to
these
heavy,
heavily
populated
counties
to
the
south
of
us,
and
it
could
prevent
some
educational
and
economic
hardships
to
to
the
communities
in
in
what
would
be
the
central
coast
region,
I'm
hoping
that
the
governor
goes
along
that
with
that.
I
think
that
could
be
very
beneficial
for
us.
So
we'll
see
how
that's
works
out.
I
think
we're
re
we're
reaching
a
crescendo
here
with
the
covid.
B
You
know
they
say
it's
always
darkest
before
the
dawn
and
because
some
things,
sometimes
things
seem
worse,
they
are
than
they
are
before
they
get
better,
but
I
think
we're
at
the
point
now,
where
we're
just
about
the
tail
end
of
this
and
with
the
resiliency
and
the
strength
of
the
people
that
live
here
in
thousand
oaks.
I
know
we're
going
to
rebound
and
have
a
great
year
next
year,
I'm
looking
for
a
powerful
recovery
and
I'm
just
humbled
to
be
a
play,
a
small
part
in
that.
B
C
Good
evening,
mayor
and
council
members
before
you
as
a
resolution
declaring
the
results
of
the
general
municipal
election
held
on
november
3rd
2020,
the
county
clerk
has
certified
the
canvas
of
votes
cast
for
two
council
members.
Staff's
recommendation
this
evening
is
to
adopt
the
resolution
certifying
the
election
of
al
adam
and
kevin
mcnamee
for
four-year
terms.
B
K
F
C
C
B
F
C
K
B
C
K
Councilman
engler,
you
know
in
my
years
when
I
was
a
firefighter
I.
I
grew
to
really
appreciate
the
those
people
who
were
more
experienced
than
I
and,
as
I
thought
about
this
position
of
mayor
pro
tem,
I
wanted
to
recognize
the
value
of
an
historical
perspective.
You
know
one
that
would
help
us
with
our
redoing
of
our
general
plan
and
help
guide
us
into
the
next
phase
of
the
city.
F
You
know
be
vice
marin
and-
and
maybe
some
I
don't
know
how
you
would
do
that.
But
you
know
I.
I
just
feel
that
the
rules
have
been
that
that
the
person
that
finished
before
the
other
one
and
you
finished
ahead
of
me.
So
I
really
appreciate
the
gesture,
but
if
we
could
figure
out
some
way
to
to,
perhaps
let
me
share
a
little
bit
of
that,
but
I
I
don't
want
to
take
the
whole
thing
from
you,
so
I
I
think
you
ought
to
be
the
vice
mayor.
B
If
I
may
chime
in
there's
no
other
nominations,
I
believe,
but
it
yeah,
and
I
really
appreciate
councilmember
angler's
gesture
and
I
appreciate
councilmember
jones's
service
to
the
community.
It
sounds
to
me
that
councilmember
jones
is
declining
that
nomination
and
would
would
you
agree
with
that.
Councilmember
angler.
C
B
K
D
D
I
really
appreciate
the
camaraderie,
the
collegiality
that
this
display
just
showed,
and
I
hope
that
we
will
be
able
to
continue
working
in
that
same
fashion
for
the
next
year
and
beyond,
and
with
that
we
may
now
move
on
to
remarks
by
by
the
incoming
mayor
and
the
mayor
and
all
the
council
members.
I
would
like
to
start
first
in
welcoming
our
newest
member
to
the
city
council,
and
that
is
kevin.
Mcnamee
kevin
mcnamee
finished
in
a
very,
very
tight
race,
and
it
was
a
it
was
hard
earned.
D
D
I
don't
know
the
background,
the
virtual
background,
but
hopefully
not
too
far
away,
and
I
know
that
you
will
bring
a
a
great
perspective
to
the
city
council
and
in
using
your
wisdom
to
make
the
right
choices
and
decisions
for
the
citizens
and
residents
of
the
city
of
thousand
oaks,
and
so
with
the
with
that.
I
would
like
to
then
also
welcome
bob
engler,
the
second
highest
vote
getter
in
the
2018
election
as
mayor
protem
and
yes,
there
has
been
a
unspoken
policy
of
the
highest
vote,
getter
or
second
highest
vote
getter.
D
K
D
K
K
The
big
challenger
that
I
had
to
overcome
was
a
gracious
and
very
kind
gentleman,
joel
price
who
has
served
as
both
mayor
and
city
council,
member
for
thousand
oaks,
and
as
I
often
commented
that,
if
you
prevailed,
he
would
serve
the
city
well,
but
those
are
big
shoes
that
I
will
be
filling
and
hope
to
do
a
very
good
job
for
the
people
of
thousand
oaks,
and
with
that
again,
thank
you
for
your
kind
words
and
look
forward
to
serving
with
all
of
you
on
the
city
city
council.
Thank
you.
K
It's
been
a
very
collegial
group,
since
I've
been
on
the
council
and
building
upon
the
the
foundation
that
prior
councils
have
have
left
us,
I'm
I'm
looking
very
much
forward
to
working
with
our
new
member
kevin
mcnamee
as
well
as
our
our
experienced
members,
such
as
ed
jones
and
yourself
and
and
al.
I
think
that
together
we
can
guide
the
guide,
the
community
forward
into
the
the
next
phase
of
what
a
thousand
oaks
will
become.
So
thank
you
so
much,
and
I
appreciate
all
your
votes
to
make.
F
Am
I
up?
You
are
yeah
I'd
like
to
compliment
both
al
and
kevin
for
their
victories
in
the
election
and
I'm
looking
forward
forward
very
much
to
working
with
both.
I
knew
kevin
briefly
when
we
were
in
the
thousands
rotary
together
and
I'd
like
to
compliment
him
on
running
a
good
race
and
and
coming
you
know.
I've
been
in
a
number
of
races
and
I
I
don't
not
always
one
so
I
know
that's
probably
difficult
for
joel
right
now.
F
B
Thank
you,
mayor
just
want
to
welcome
councilmember.
How
do
you
like
that
how's
that
sound
to
you
councilmember
mcnamee,
to
our
midst,
your
hard
work
and
persistence
has
paid
off,
and-
and
here
you
are-
I
hope
you
find
the
next
four
years
to
be
a
rewarding
experience,
and
I
hope
that
that
you,
along
with
the
other
four
of
us,
can
do
some
good
for
the
city,
because
we
are
at
a
rather
critical
juncture
right
now
in
a
lot
of
different
ways.
B
So
we
have
our
work
cut
out
for
us
and
I'm
also
appreciative
to
being
re-elected
and
the
faith
that
the
people
thousand
oaks
have
in
me.
It
was
a
these
campaigns
were
quite
long.
It
was
about
a
six-month
campaign
and
there
was
a
lot
of
work
involved,
and
I
just
can't
tell
you
how
much
I
appreciate
the
support
from
the
community.
B
D
I
have
to
give
everything
that
I
have,
because
this
transition
will
be
very,
very
crucial.
It's
it's
critical.
It
will
be
difficult
and
I
am
entering
this
phase,
this
transitional
phase
with
an
open,
mind
and
open
eyes,
because
I
know
that
we
have
warring
factions
when
it
comes
to
covet
and
those
warring
factions
are
throughout
the
country.
D
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
didn't
mention
the
leadership
also
by
our
ventura
county
sheriff's
department
and
the
police
department
sheriff
bill
ayoub
and
our
thousands
police
chief,
jim
fryhoff.
The
position
that
you
have
taken
in
trying
to
enforce
all
of
the
different
orders
that
we
have
had
to
endure
over
the
last
seven
or
eight
months.
It's
certainly
not
easy.
D
It
is
an
unfunded
mandate,
so
to
speak,
for
having
these
lockdowns
and
then
trying
to
enforce
them,
and
it
is
virtually
impossible
to
enforce
them.
I
mean
you
can
do
so,
but
it
it
is
not
easy,
and
I
think
that
our
sheriff's
department
and
police
department
have
been
trying
to
strike
the
balance
and
and
very
well
so
far
between
and
enforcing
enforcement
and
personal
responsibility,
personal
responsibility
of
wearing
masks
physical
distancing,
because
if
we
do
not
do
our
part,
if
we
do
not
believe
that
covet
is
is
something
more
serious
than
the
flu.
D
Our
kids
will
never
be
able
to
go
back
to
school
until
everybody's
vaccinated,
I'm
the
mother
of
two
sophomores
in
high
school,
I
have
an
immunocompromised
mother
living
with
us.
My
husband
is
a
front-line
worker
as
a
physician,
so
I
see
all
the
different
perspectives.
I
see
exactly
where
the
risks
are
and
it
it.
I
just
don't
understand
why
it
is
so
difficult
to
get
the
message
to
be
personal
responsible.
D
D
I
will
have
to
shoulder
it
along
with
all
of
my
colleagues,
I'm
so
glad
that
mayor
adams
set
the
the
tone
by
encouraging
mask
wearing
the
entire
year
with
regular
video
updates,
because
without
that
I
don't
know
whether
we
would
have
had
a
community
that
would
be
as
obeying
or
obedient.
I
should
say,
as
we
have
now
so,
public
messaging
is
really
very
important.
D
If
we
build
nothing
but
luxury
housing,
when
few
people
can
afford
them,
we
must
ensure
that
any
and
every
future
development
will
provide
affordable
housing
and
enough
of
that,
and
we
will
hopefully
be
able
to
incorporate
that
into
our
new
general
plan,
which
we
hope
to
wrap
up
by.
I
believe
when
is
at
the
end
of
this
year,
is
it
at
the
end
of
this
year
right
and
that
has
been
a
tremendous
burden
for
our
staff,
our
city
attorney
our
planning
department,
our
city
management
team.
D
I
know
this
is
something
that
council
member
mcnamee
is
very
interested
in
as
well,
but
we
have
to
jump
on
opportunities
to
provide
housing,
whether
that's
a
shelter
for
our
homeless
here
as
well.
All
of
that
goes
hand-in-hand.
Quality
of
life
goes
hand
in
hand.
So,
as
I
said,
this
is
going
to
be
a
difficult
year,
but
if
we
all
work
together,
if
we
have
patience,
if
we
have
understanding,
if
we
keep
an
open
mind
and
don't
bring
personal
agendas
to
the
table,
we
can
get
through
this
year.
D
We
can
get
through
this
year
and
thrive.
So
with
that,
I
thank
my
colleagues
for
selecting
me
as
mayor
of
thousand
oaks.
It's
my
fourth
time
doing
this,
and
it
gives
me
great
pleasure
to
continue
my
public
service
to
the
residents
of
the
city,
the
wonderful
city
of
thousand
oaks,
and
with
that
our
council
meeting
will
be
adjourned
and
we
will
take
up
regular
business
on
december
15th
with
a
similar
I
guess
set
up,
but
most
of
the
council
members
still
participating
virtually
again.
D
Thank
you
to
staff
tracy
noonan,
drew
powers,
gary
rogers,
cindy
rodriguez
and
chief
ryhoff,
and
is
that
dominica
in
the
back?
I'm
not
sure
I
can't
see
that
far
ahead,
but
from
the
city
clerk's
office.
My
apologies,
if
I
didn't
get
the
name
right
at
all.
Thank
you
very
much
and
we'll
see
you
in
a
week
or
so.
Thank
you
good.
