So
that
way
you
know
to
start
wrapping
and
when
you
hit
three
minutes,
I
will
say.
Thank
you
very
much,
and
the
next
speaker
is
that's
your
cutest
find
your
way
back,
I'm
going
to
use
the
system
that
was
set
up
a
few
years
ago
that
I'm
going
to
do
alternating
between
zoom
and
the
people
here
in
the
audience,
five
from
one
five
from
the
other,
so
we're
going
to
go
to
the
zoom
first
first
up
we
have
for
public
comment,
is
Piper
Jackson
Piper.
You
have
three
minutes
you're
on.
E
Good
evening,
thank
you
Mr
Mayor,
City
councilors.
My
name
is
Jackson
Piper
from
unincorporated
Newbury,
Park,
I'm,
part
of
vcmb
housing,
advocacy
organization,
I'm,
also
part
of
the
Teo
livability
Action
Network
I
am
thrilled
that
the
city
has
included
affordable
housing
as
one
of
its
top
priorities
for
this
next
year.
E
E
At
the
time
that
we've
been
about
seventy
thousand
five
hundred
and
five
dollars
per
household
annually
between
2013
and
2020,
so
that
2018
point
in
time
fell
within
that
that
housing
cycle
33
of
the
697
housing
units
that
were
built
in
the
city,
which
equates
to
4.7
percent,
were
affordable
within
categories
that
could
be
accessed
by
these
by
the
people
that
were
low
income
or
below.
So
once
again,
that's
31
percent
of
the
population
versus
4.7
percent
of
the
housing
built
within
that
time.
E
B
B
F
You
good
evening,
City
Council,
Members
I,
want
to
thank
you
for
including
affordable
housing
as
one
of
the
top
10
priorities
and
I
will
also
speak
on
why
it
must
be
the
number
one
priority.
In
the
fiscal
year,
2023-2024
city
council
priorities,
I
echo,
my
community
members
points
that
the
priority
statement
should
commit
to
increasing
the
budget
allocation
for
affordable
housing,
commit
to
additional
new,
affordable
housing
site
development,
providing
zoning
approvals
necessary
to
develop
significant
numbers
of
affordable
units
and
identify
and
Implement
new
programs
and
services
to
alleviate
the
affordable
housing
crisis
in
our
city.
F
F
Please
note
that
the
consequences
of
the
ongoing
pandemic,
including
the
economic
instability
it
continues
to
cause,
create
even
more
serious
cost
burdens
for
community
members
residents
paying
too
much
of
their
income
on
housing
have
little
or
no
income
remaining
for
other
necessities,
including
Health
Care
people
are
also
resorting
to
inadequate
substandard
housing.
Arrangements
an
affordable
home
is
a
human
right,
and
this
right
must
be
cemented
in
our
City's
policies
and
actions.
F
G
G
The
city
council
of
Thousand
Oaks
has
the
power
legally
legislatively
to
put
in
place
a
senior
overlay
to
protect
all
of
the
senior
mobile
home
parks
in
Thousand
Oaks.
It
has
been
put
into
place
already.
Its
precedent
has
been
set:
Huntington
Beach,
Yucaipa,
the
city
of
Ventura.
It
has
withstained
withheld
legal
challenge,
all
the
way
to
the
9th
circuit
and,
as
I'm
sure.
G
The
fair
housing
one
thing
that
the
the
Putnam
family
tried
to
city
the
city
of
Yucaipa
sued,
the
city
of
Yucaipa
and
that's
the
case
that
went
to
the
ninth
circuit.
So
what
we're
looking
for
is
the
city
council,
who
has
the
power
in
the
wherewithal
to
act
on
behalf
of
the
singers
and
the
senior
citizens
to
protect
the
housing,
the
access
to
housing.
G
There's
a
thing
called
the
senior
exception
in
1995
Congress,
put
into
place
the
housing
for
older
persons
act
and
they
took
out
some
language
and
the
language
had
to
do
with
owner
and
manager,
and
they
put
in
housing
facility
and
community
and
I'm
sure
you'd
defer
to
the
the
you
know.
Excuse
me:
I
lost
my
thought
there.
G
Yes,
anyway,
the
City
attorney
can
check
these
facts
and
I
know
you
guys
defer
for
the
legal
aspect
but
I'm
asking
that
the
senior
overlay
be
put
in
place
to
protect
all
of
the
senior
mobile
home
park
in
Thousand,
Oaks,
it's
or
like.
Once
again,
the
president
has
already
been
set.
It
has
withstood
legal
challenge
all
the
way
to
the
ninth
Circuit
Court
I'm,
reiterating
that,
because
that's
a
big
deal,
we
need
to
protect
all
of
the
seniors
more,
especially
those
that
are
unable
to
protect
themselves.
My
analogy
here
is
that,
yes,.
G
B
H
Additionally,
I'm
asking
that
affordable
housing
be
a
top
priority
for
the
council.
Over
60
percent
of
climate
pollution
in
Thousand
Oaks
comes
from
the
Transportation
sector
due
to
the
lack
of
affordable
housing.
Many
workers
commute
into
our
city
from
great
distances
and
create
a
significant
portion
of
this
climate
pollution.
H
Creating
a
more
walkable
City
with
additional
infill
housing
will
be
good
for
the
community
by
avoiding
additional
sprawl
future
proofing.
Our
city
against
the
climate
crisis,
providing
a
bigger
customer
base
for
local
businesses
and
improving
schools
through
increased
enrollment
I
hope
that
the
city
will
prioritize
affordable
housing,
climate
and,
ultimately,
the
safety
of
our
community.
Thank
you.
I
Hi
good
evening,
honorable
mayor
and
council
members,
I
hope
you
can
hear
me
I'm
in
transit
right
now.
I
don't
have
any
big
speech
prepared,
but
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
I
really
hope
that
you
prioritize
the
climate
and
environmental
sustainability
and
your
goals
and
priorities
for
this
year.
The
world
is
not
meeting
its
targets
at
all.
We
are
really
behind
and
it's
pretty
scary.
I
You
know
we
don't
want
to
live
in
a
1.5
degrees,
Celsius
world.
We
we
can't
live
in
a
2
degree
celsius
world
and
even
though
we're
a
small
City,
we
have
a
lot
of
power.
We
have
power
to
purchase
things.
We
have
power
to
build
buildings,
we
have
power
to
scale
beyond
our
city
limits
to
inspire
other
cities
and
state
governments
with
what
we
do
and
we've
shown
that
we
can
be
a
leader
in
sustainability
and
we've
done
it
in
the
past.
I
We'd
also
love
to
see
a
sustainable
procurement
policy.
A
lot
of
other
cities
have
done
that,
and
you
know,
there's
great
models.
You
can
follow
and
I'm
sure
that
that
your
staff
can
can
start
looking
into
how
to
actually
do
that.
Maybe
that
could
just
be
a
study
session
and
I
think
that
would
really
benefit
the
city
and
make
us
leaders
in
environmental
sustainability
and
I
want
to
Echo
the
other
great
thought
leaders
on
this
call
tonight
and
calling
for
more
affordable
housing
and
making
that
a
goal
and
a
priority.
I
B
Thank
you.
We
are
now
going
to
go
into
the
in-house
speakers
and
then,
after
we
do
five
of
those
we'll
come
back
to
finishing
up
the
zoom
speakers
to
lay
some
of
the
ground
rules.
Again,
three
minutes.
We
have
a
clock
over
there
that
we
have
our
own
Vanna
White
in-house,
that's
Miss,
Sandra,
Delgado,
Sandra,
say
hello
to
everybody,
give
a
wave
there.
You
go
big
ad
for
Sandra.
Please.
B
J
J
Since
that
meeting
we
have
researched
the
issue
and
found
out
that
the
city
May
create
a
senior
overlay
ordinance
that
will
protect
all
of
the
senior
parks
in
Thousand
Oaks.
The
federal
9
circuit
Frederick
appeals
has
found
that
out.
You
have
the
authority
and
power
to
issue
these
restrictions.
I
have
submitted
copies
of
ordinance
at
other
cities
and
counties,
including
Ventura
County,
have
been
active.
These
cities
and
Counties
have
recognized
the
importance
of
protecting
their
senior
citizens
and
the
quality
of
their
living.
J
One
of
the
items
that
they
refer
to
is
the
fact
that
seniors
who
have
purchased
in
the
Parks
were
told
that
they
were
purchasing
senior
parks.
It
is
up
to
you
to
make
sure
that
the
promise
is
carried
out.
You
have
the
ability
to
regulate
again
I'm,
referring
to
the
Court's
ruling
senior
parks
in
your
community.
J
Yes,
the
parks
owners
are
businessmen
and,
as
such
there
as
focus
is
to
make
as
much
profit
as
they
can
no
problem.
However,
you
recognize
that
the
senior
in
your
community
need
protection
from
excess
of
avarice.
The
current
practice
for
getting
around
the
RSO
is
to
make
it
difficult
for
a
senior
to
sell
his
mobile
home
to
an
independent
buyer.
J
Then
the
park
owner
jumps
in
buys
it
raises
it
at
puts
a
new
unit
in
and
can
charge
whatever
the
market
will
bear
and
our
Park
unit
in
our
park
a
unit
that
would
have
sold
for
about
three
hundred
thousand
and
with
a
10
increase
in
rented
for
about
660
per
month.
The
park
owner
bought
the
unit
got
rid
of
it.
Put
in
a
new
unit
which
is
price,
is
asking
five
hundred
thousand
dollars,
and
the
rent
will
probably
be
twelve
hundred
dollars.
J
A
50
percent
increase
by
changing
the
part
to
a
family
park,
whereas
a
senior
could
not
afford
that
a
family
with
multiple
undercomes
could
thereby
forcing
the
seniors
out
onto
the
street.
It
is
your
day
to
make
sure
that
that
does
not
happen.
That
will
also
decrease
the
affordable
housing
in
our
community.
We
encourage
you
to
put
Senior
overlay
ordinance
on
the
next
Council
agenda.
Thank
you.
B
B
K
Thank
you
good
evening.
My
name
is
Kathy
Hodge
I
live
in
Thousand
Oaks
and
I've
lived
in
Thousand
Oaks
since
2015
in
Ranch,
Mobile
Home,
Park
I'm,
going
to
read
something
and
I'm
going
to
ask
you
to
think
back
to
the
year,
2017
and
think
about
a
carousel
horse,
a
really
beautiful
carousel
horse,
because
when
I
read
this
I
want
you
to
guess
where
I'm
reading
from
and
where
it
came
from,
and
that's
a
clue.
Your
clue
is
2017
and
the
Beautiful
carousel
horse.
This
is
article
4,
section
8104-7
overlay
zones.
K
K
They
also
go
on
and
I'm
not
going
to
read
everything
here,
but
they
go
on
to
talk
about
how
the
state
of
California
has
encouraged
this
particular
practice
as
well
and
and
talk
about
their
legislative
authority.
Of
course,
the
zoning
Authority
doesn't
go
to
the
county
in
incorporate
rated
areas
such
as
Thousand
Oaks.
It
is
the
responsibility
of
the
City
Planning
and
the
city
council,
and
so
I
am
asking
that
you
put
this
on
the
agenda
very
quickly
for
the
city
of
Thousand
Oaks
that
you
may
also
create.
K
B
L
This
petition
asks
that
the
city
council
removed
the
portrait
property
from
the
areas
of
change
when
the
general
plan
is
finalized
and
leave
the
current
combined
land
use
in
place
since
it's
purchased
in
1979,
the
land
use
has
been
low
density
residential
with
an
adjoining
commercial
portion
in
the
44
years.
Since
it's
been
purchased,
not
one
development
plan
has
been
submitted
to
the
city
before
considering
a
change
in
land
use.
We
respectfully
expect
that
the
preliminary
development
plans
be
submitted
made
available
for
review
and
discussion
before
any
changes
are
put
into
place.
L
Kmart,
daylight,
Baxter,
santol
and
Caruso
were
also
required
to
provide
preliminary
plans
to
the
city.
Even
before
consideration
of
an
application
and
making
a
land
use
change.
This
landowner
should
be
held
to
the
same
standard.
The
city
will
still
have
the
option
of
amending
the
land
use
in
the
future.
After
a
plan
has
been
proposed
and
reviewed
if
the
land
use
has
changed,
there
is
no
going
back.
Sb
330
will
prohibit
any
future
down
zoning
and
limit
the
city's
control
to
objective
standards.
L
City
planners
will
be
at
the
mercy
of
the
state
and
developer.
The
city
is
obligated
and
has
a
duty
to
retain
its
most
legally
defensible
position
against
the
overreach
of
the
state.
The
borchard
property
was
not
included
in
the
2022
housing
element,
rhna
numbers,
so
the
removal
will
not
affect
the
final
State
approval.
L
The
new
general
plan
promised
to
retain
the
character
of
existing
residential
neighbors.
A
change
to
mixed
use
here
breaks
that
promise
our
property
rights
should
be
considered
as
well
already
approved.
Changes
in
the
nearby
areas
of
Newberry
Park
will
impact
the
streets,
especially
the
Wendy
and
borchard
off
ramps.
L
Please
do
not
look
at
these
developments
in
a
vacuum.
We
respectfully
request
that
the
city
council
ask
for
a
combined
study
of
the
community
cumulative
effect
of
these
approved
changes
before
consideration
is
given
to
changing
the
land
use
for
the
borchard
property,
we
ask
that
you
support
and
defend
the
rights
of
the
citizens
who
voted
you
into
office
as
servants
for
these
people
of
our
neighborhood
and
our
proper
Community
as
a
whole.
A
L
B
B
N
Evening,
I'm
Karen
Wilburn
of
Newbury,
Park
and
I'm
here
tonight,
speaking
on
behalf
of
92
percent
of
the
residents
and
voters
of
Newbury
Park.
First,
a
few
statistics:
Newbury
Park
has
15
500
households
and
23
000
registered
voters,
a
sampling
of
999
households
and
1020
voters
will
produce
a
statistically
accurate
result
with
a
margin
of
error
of
3
percent.
N
While
we
collected
signatures
at
public
events
and
email
most
of
our
signatures
came
from
over
40
volunteers
going
door
to
door.
Each
volunteer
was
assigned
an
area
and
given
clear
instructions
to
keep
track
of
not
only
those
homes
who
signed,
but
those
who
support
a
change
to
mixed
use
and
those
who
did
not
want
to
sign
because
they
weren't
familiar
with
the
issue.
Just
didn't
care
or
had
privacy
concerns.
So
our
volunteers
interacted
with
1108
homes
and
the
results
were
overwhelming.
92
percent
signed
our
petition.
N
N
N
N
Okay,
so
this
is
a
map
of
the
area
that
we
canvassed,
and
we
highlighted
every
home
that
we
had
contact
with
the
red
highlights
represent
those
that
signed
our
petition.
Okay,
sorry,
the
small
black
ones
represent
the
homes
that
support
mixed
use
and
the
blue
were
the
people
that
were
non-committal
out
of
over
a
thousand
households.
Only
25
supported
mixed
use.
N
N
B
B
O
O
However,
we
do
firmly
request
that
you
keep
the
wishes
of
the
overwhelming
majority
of
Newbury
Park
voters
in
mind
tonight
and
over
these
next
few
months,
as
you
discuss
the
future
of
the
town
that
we
live
in,
there
are
many
options
available
for
Housing
and
Community
spaces.
We
urge
you
to
move
towards
solutions
that
we
can
all
get
behind.
Instead
of
trying
to
force
a
square
peg
into
a
round
hole.
We
reject
the
notion
that
we
are
anti-development.
O
You
are
all
aware
of
the
impact
of
recent
state
laws
which
tie
the
hands
of
cities
and
allow
a
property
owner
to
build
by
right
up
to
the
height
depth
and
density
of
the
land.
Use
designation.
Given
this
proposed
change
would
allow
by
right
anything
from
hotels,
four-story,
Apartments
bars
and
more
directly
in
the
middle
of
a
residential
neighborhood
at
the
former
coneo
Valley
High
School
site.
Even
when
sold
the
new
property
owner
will
be
held
to
the
rules
stipulated
when
the
change
of
use
was
originally
granted.
O
Changing
this
designation
without
a
plan
or
any
stipulated
rules
attached
to
it,
is
like
giving
this
property
owner
a
blank
check.
Any
deep
pocket,
Mega
developer
it
might
be
sold
to
in
the
future,
would
have
the
same,
buy
right
ability
to
build.
We
ask
you,
please
do
not
give
the
city's
rights
away.
Staff
has
indicated
that
none
of
the
previously
voted
on
land
use
designations
are
set
in
stone,
they
are
merely
recommendations
and
any
of
them
can
and
must
be
changed
in
the
final
version.
O
If
a
conflict
or
concern
with
the
proposed
change
becomes
evident,
we've
all
witnessed
the
lengths.
This
developer
has
gone
to
convince
you
that
something
unfair
has
happened
and
that
he
deserves
this
land
use
change.
This
property
owner
is
entitled
to
nothing
more
than
what
was
purchased
and
what
was
purchased
was
an
encumbered
landlocked
36-acre
parcel
in
a
high-risk
flood
zone
with
an
established
flood
easement
handing
a
developer
the
buy
right
ability
to
build
almost
anything
he
desires
in
the
name
of
flexibility
can't
happen.

Q
Hi,
my
name
is
Rosanna
Allen
I've
been
a
resident
of
Thousand
Oaks
for
13
years
now,
I
have
been
a
fortunate
recipient
of
low-income
housing.
It
was
because
of
the
creation
of
the
Supportive
Housing
that
I
was
able
to
get
housing
in
the
first
place
and
I
was
re-housed
just
in
time.
As
my
body
was
very
quickly.
Failing
me,
it
was
because
I
was
able
to
get
housing
that
I
was
able
to
focus
and
work
even
harder
to
get
the
benefits
and
health
insurance.
Q
That
I
had
lost,
reinstated
the
doctors
and
and
be
able
to
see
the
doctors
and
Specialists
I
needed
to
be
able
to
see.
I
was
one
of
the
lucky
ones,
but
it
shouldn't
be
that
way.
I
do
see.
You
have
some
plans
to
start
addressing
the
homelessness
problem,
I'm
grateful
that
the
area
is
a
focus,
but
the
need
is
so
great
and
not
many
becoming
available
compared
to
how
many
their
actually
are
in
this
town.
Not
all
of
us
are
fortunate
and
Wealthy
enough
to
be
homeowners.
Q
If
it
wasn't
for
many
mansions
I
would
not
have
been
able
to
gain
and
keep
the
stability
that
I
have
now.
I
have
been
fortunate
enough
to
say
that
I've
lived
here
for
13
years,
but
this
Foundation
is
not
something
that
everyone
has
and,
as
Maslow
says,
with
one
basic
needs
being
met,
then
they
can
focus
on
the
other
things
that
they
need
to
do.
Q
The
problem
that
I
have
noticed
a
lot
is
that
many
mansions
works
very
hard
and
they
have
created
things
that
other
organizations
haven't
able
to.
But
these
organizations
all
work
together
and
they're
incredibly
important
to
help
not
just
those
that
are
homeless,
but
those
that
don't
have
a
lot
of
money
coming
in.
Despite
working
two
or
three
jobs
and
what
I.
Q
B
B
R
Good
afternoon
Council,
my
name
is
Peggy
buckles
I'm,
a
resident
of
Thousand
Oaks
I'm
here
to
encourage
you
to
make
affordable
housing
our
number
one
priority
for
this
fiscal
year.
We
know
there
isn't
enough
for
affordable
housing
in
Thousand
Oaks,
our
children
move
away
after
college.
We
have
more
and
more
homeless,
seniors
are
forced
to
move
to
less
expensive
cities
and
give
up
their
homes
and
friends.
This
situation
has
only
gotten
worse.
This
is
all
about
supply
and
demand.
R
R
There
was
an
article
yesterday
in
the
LA
Times
about
accessory
dwelling
units
and
how
it
could
help
solve
the
housing
crisis
in
San
Francisco.
That
may
be
a
solution
for
seniors
and
young
renters,
but
we
also
need
housing
for
families.
I
was
under
the
impression
that
developers
had
to
build
a
percentage
of
low-income
units
come
to
find
out.
Landlords
only
have
to
give
ten
thousand
dollars
per
affordable
housing
unit
to
the
city
to
skirt
that
law.
Where
does
that
money
go?
R
Is
it
used
to
build
affordable
housing
in
2018?
Nearly
a
third
of
our
residents
fell
into
the
low
income
bracket
in
2020,
the
median
costs
of
a
house
in
to
was
745
thousand
dollars,
and
in
2021
it
had
risen
to
nine
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars.
We
must
work
harder
to
keep
people
who
work
in
low-income
jobs
here,
it's
good
for
our
employers
and
it's
good
for
our
schools.
Please
make
this
our
number
one
priority.
B
S
My
name
is
Jess
waihi
and
I
am
a
Newbery,
Park
resident
and
I
guess.
I
am
one
of
the
460
in
support
of
the
borchard
vision.
I
was
raised
here
and
I'm
privileged
to
get
to
raise
my
own
family
here
now
and
I
understand.
Any
development
is
a
controversial
topic
around
these
parts,
but
our
Council
has
a
responsibility
to
identify
and
act
on
reasonable
solutions
to
crises
we
are
facing.
First
and
foremost,
I.
Don't
see
this
as
something
to
be
dismissed
to
Simply
pro-growth
versus
no
growth
battle.
S
As
a
child,
I
canvassed
with
my
dad
in
support
of
Linda
Parks
for
a
city
council
run,
I
was
12
years
old
as
a
child.
I
came
and
spoke
at
City
Council
meetings
against
the
target
development
off
windy,
and
then
the
development
off
of
Old,
kanejo
Road,
so
I've
been
on
both
sides
of
these
issues.
I
can
respect
the
passion,
but
we
need
to
deal
in
facts
and
we
need
to
do
so
responsibly.
S
We
know
that
borchard
property
was
unanimously
selected
as
an
opportunity
site
by
City
Council
in
2017..
We
know
per
the
original
eir.
This
property
was
always
slated
for
phase
two
development
following
Fox
Meadows.
We
know
that
the
requirements
of
the
temporary
Flowage
easement
placed
on
the
property
were
met
upon
completion
of
the
board
trip
project
back
in
2003.
We
know
that
this
property
is
not
a
wetland,
and
this
is
not
debatable.
The
U.S
Army
Corps
of
Engineers
has
provided
official
declarations
stating
it
is
not
a
wetland.
S
They
are
the
only
agency
that
has
a
jurisdiction
to
make
that
determination.
We
know
we
are
in
a
housing
crisis
and
we
need
affordable
and
Workforce
housing
options,
and
this
property
will
help
our
city
plan.
For
that
we
know
that
any
development,
if
presented
to
the
council,
would
have
to
go
through
the
required
environmental
and
traffic
analyzes
and
adhere
to
all
female
regulations.
S
We
know
that
Fox
Meadows,
the
adjacent
phase,
one
development
had
the
same
land
conditions
as
the
borchard
property
and
was
successfully
developed
upon.
We've
had
two
visits
from
this
anti-borture
property
activist
group
to
our
house
in
an
attempt
to
collect
our
signature
for
their
petition.
We
very
clearly
expressed
our
support
for
this
project
and
were
first
marked
as
undecided
and
told
to
get
educated,
and
this
has
me
questioning
the
validity
of
any
petition
results
provided
to
you
from
this
group.
S
I
have
heard
similar
experiences
from
surrounding
neighbors
I
implore,
these
activists
to
stop
intentionally
misrepresenting
this
property
and
any
plans
to
our
community
and
I
respectfully.
Ask
that
the
council
honor
the
mixed-use
low
density
Zoning
for
the
property
that
was
voted
on
after
a
very
robust
conversation
in
2021
when
that
time
comes.
Thank
you.
B
B
T
Evening,
everyone,
my
name,
is
Michelle
Harris
area,
director
of
Lutheran
Social
Services
for
those
unfamiliar
with
LSS.
We
are
located
on
Hillcrest
and
we
serve
those
who
are
unhoused,
as
well
as
those
who
are
housing
insecure
as
a
leader,
I,
use,
facts
and
evidence-based
practice
to
inform
my
decision
making
because
of
this
I'm,
going
to
talk
about
certain
facts.
To
demonstrate
why
affordable
housing
should
be
the
number
one
priority
of
the
2023-2024
city
council
priorities.
T
This
has
this
number
hasn't
changed
much
because
LSS
has
served
196
of
these
families
and
individuals
from
2021
to
2022,
and
those
are
just
the
people
that
have
come
to
us
for
help
of
the
196
unhoused
we
served.
100
of
them
are
long-time
Thousand
Oaks
residents.
This
means
that
those
living
on
the
streets
of
this
city
have
not
migrated
from
somewhere
else.
There
are
neighbors
with
deep
roots
to
our
community.
T
What
about
addiction
or
mental
health
issues?
Many
people
say
studies
compared
cities
across
the
country
with
those
in
our
state
and
found
cities
with
similar
rates
of
addiction
and
mental
health
issues,
have
lower
rates
of
homelessness
due
to
the
availability
of
affordable
housing
and
one
final
fact:
the
city
made
a
commitment
in
2021
of
2029
housing
element
to
implement
various
strategies
to
increase,
affordable
housing.
The
navigation
Center
is
a
great
start,
and
so
is
the
home
key
renovation
of
the
Quality
Inn
and
more
needs
to
be
done.
T
So,
as
I
mentioned,
I
use
facts
to
inform
my
decision
making
and
I
hope
that
as
Community
leaders,
the
facts
that
I
have
shared
the
facts
that
shared
have
been
shared
by
others
well
inform
your
decision
to
allocate
more
resources
to
addressing
the
affordable
housing
needs
in
this
community.
Thank
you.

U

V
Thaddeus
wojic
I'm,
a
resident
of
Oak
Park
I've,
been
asked
to
read
this
into
the
record
on
behalf
of
crystal
apadus,
who
cannot
be
here
tonight
and
she
asked
that
if,
if
the
counselor
would
accept
the
the
letter
for
the
minutes,
if
somebody
the
clerk
or
somebody
could
take
it,
I
can
leave
it
here.
So
Crystal
writes.
V
V
After
his
presentation,
a
petition
was
passed
around
the
room
with
the
intention
of
stopping
the
project
because
it
infringed
on
the
protected
Wetlands,
which
of
course,
all
of
us
would
be
in
favor
of
protecting.
Had
the
information
been
valid
in
sharing
his
narrative
with
other
Garden
Club
members
at
a
subsequent
Gathering
I
discovered
that
the
information
presented
in
order
to
get
her
signatures
was,
in
fact,
Incorrect
and
full
of
disinformation.
V
V
Although
I
am
unable
to
attend,
as
I
will
be
out
of
town,
my
fault,
it
necessary
to
speak
up
so
that
others
will
not
be
given
a
cause
to
be
misled,
especially
if
it
is
being
said
that
the
presidents
and
board
members
of
all
local
Garden
clubs
support
these
petitions
because
most
probably
do
not,
as
I
must
be
in
La
Quinta.
This
evening,
I
have
designated
a
representative
to
speak
on
my
behalf.
Thank
you
for
your
time.

You
very
much
I,

I
would
like
to
request
that
we
be
put
on
the
agenda
as
soon
as
possible
to
discuss
and
and
have
you
all,
get
us
on
the
senior

to
protect
us

X
That's
Willard
lupka
I'm,
a
resident
of
Thousand
Oaks
good
evening
council
members.
Your
annual
session
addressing
the
city's
top
priorities
and
goals
is
a
really
wonderful
practice.
All
City
councils
should
do
it.
Thank
you
for
doing
this
I'm
a
fortunate
resident
who
bought
a
home
more
than
20
years
ago
when
more
affordable
options
were
available,
but
as
the
father
of
220-somethings
and
as
a
leader
in
a
local
non-profit
organization,
the
impacts
of
our
current
high
cost
of
housing
are
very
evident.
X
The
non-profit
is
called
buenvisino,
which
means
good
neighbor,
which
is
a
member
of
The
Conejo,
Housing,
Coalition,
I,
read
all
of
the
priorities
and
I
think
they're.
All
important
I
couldn't
find
any
that
I
thought
shouldn't
be
priorities
but
I'm
here
to
encourage
you
to
make
the
affordable
housing
priority
statement
stronger
and
to
tie
it
more
closely
to
the
affordable
housing
plans
in
your
general
plan
housing
element
and
commit
to
using
all
tools,
policies,
incentives
and
funding
available.
X
Here
are
a
couple
examples
from
the
housing
element.
It
states
that
the
city
will
commit
to
working
with
local
non-profits
to
expand,
affordable
housing
opportunities,
especially
to
lower
income.
Households
and
those
with
special
housing
needs
continued
support
for
the
development
of
affordable
housing,
including
financial
support
to
affordable
housing
providers
with
use
of
the
city's
housing.
X
The
housing
element
is
full
of
great
ideas
and
initiatives
to
help
alleviate
the
affordable
housing
crisis.
Please
make
it
a
top
priority
to
make
those
plans
and
intentions
in
the
housing
element
the
reality
and
to
achieve
substantial,
further
progress
to
alleviate
the
affordable
housing
crisis
we
have
in
our
city.
Thank
you
so
much
thank.
B
Y
Although
I
had
the
privilege
of
attending
this
esteemed
institution
I,
it
is
important
to
acknowledge
the
disparities
I
faced
along
the
way
like
many
commuter
students
I
resided
with
my
parents,
and
even
as
a
recent
graduate
continue
to
do
so.
Given
my
financial
constraints,
this
firsthand
experience
provides
me
with
some
insight
in
how
affordable
housing
can
positively
impact
the
lives
of
college
students
like
myself,
with
greater
opportunities
for
affordable
housing.
Y
Through
such
opportunities,
college
students
will
be
more
inclined
to
form
younger
families
within
our
community
who
will
contribute
to
our
local
economy
and
diversify
our
Workforce
with
talented
individuals
who
will
drive
Innovation
for
years
to
come.
Thus,
students
in
the
community
as
a
whole
will
benefit
from
the
rewards.
Y
In
conclusion,
I
urge
you
to
recognize
the
importance
of
affordable
housing,
not
just
for
college
students
who
will
be
starting
their
own
families,
but
for
all
by
prioritizing
affordable
housing.
We
Empower
these
members
of
our
community
to
thrive,
unlock
their
potential
and
contribute
to
the
growth
and
prosperity
of
our
community.
Thank
you.
B
Z
Name
is
Carol
Shelton
and
I
live
in
Thousand
Oaks
I
have
lived
in
Thousand
Oaks
for
most
of
my
life
I've
raised
my
children
here
and
three
generations
of
my
family
have
called
Thousand
Oaks
home
Thousand
Oaks
has
an
affordable
housing
crisis
I'm
speaking
tonight
to
ask
you
to
consider
moving
affordable
housing
development
to
the
city's
top
priority
for
the
2023-2024
fiscal
year.
I
am
a
single
parent
responsible
for
for
two
adult
boys
with
developmental
disabilities
and
the
sister
of
an
unhoused
person
and
I
am
low
income.
Z
I
have
come
to
realize
that
home
ownership
is
outside
of
my
reach
and
that
I
am
always
going
to
live
in
fear
of
renovation
being
burdened
and
that
I
am
one
or
two
disasters
away
from
losing.
My
shelter
I
have
been
alive
long
enough
to
see
the
Staggering
wage
and
equality
that
exists.
Historically,
people
who
had
a
steady,
full-time
job
at
a
down
payment
could
buy
a
home
here
in
Thousand
Oaks,
regular
people
with
regular
jobs,
not
brain
surgeons,
but
teachers,
medical
personnel,
retail
workers,
caregivers
and
people
with
a
trade.
Z
It
was
a
given
that
you
can
move
out
of
your
folks
house
or
live
on
your
own
with
a
steady
source
of
income,
whether
it
was
sharing
a
house
or
an
apartment,
and
you
could
also
save
up
money
to
buy
your
own
home.
That
is
no
longer
the
case.
I
see
the
day-to-day
struggle
of
regular
people
trying
to
keep
their
heads
above
water
to
be
able
to
afford
to
live
here.
Multiple
families
living
in
apartments
meant
for
one
family
people,
my
age
living
in
their
car
or
in
the
bushes
and
much
much
worse.
Z
This
is
not
a
pull
yourself
up
from
the
bootstraps
moment,
nor
should
the
message
be.
If
you
only
worked
harder
or
are
a
person
of
worth,
can
you
live
here
in
Thousand
Oaks?
Where
do
our
current
goals
and
plans
leave
people
who
are
permanently
disabled,
living
on
SSI
people
in
unstable
housing
or
or
substandard
housing
and
workers
that
simply
do
not
make
enough
money
to
thrive
in
Thousand
Oaks?
Z
If
Thousand
Oaks
wants
to
meet
its
top
goal
of
becoming
an
inclusive
and
Equitable
City,
regardless
of
background
age,
ability
or
income
community
members
should
know
that
our
city
leadership
is
making
decisions
that
positively
impact
everyone
in
Thousand
Oaks
that
incl,
that
includes
prioritizing
and
taking
action
on
affordable
housing.
The
need
for
affordable
housing
remains
great.
Despite
efforts
by
our
city,
waiting
lists
for
affordable
housing
do
not
account
for
the
entirety
of
our
needs.
Z
AA
AA
The
city
has
made
notable
progress
in
creating
more
affordable
housing
in
the
past
year
or
so,
but
the
need
remains
great.
Waiting
lists
for
affordable
housing
in
our
city
are
around
2500
households
and
those
lists
alone
likely
do
not
account
for
the
entirety
of
the
need.
There
are
many
folks
in
need
of
affordable
housing
that
I
could
speak
about
tonight,
but
instead
I
want
to
talk
about
my
dad.
He
was
considered
a
man
of
worth
in
our
community
in
Midland,
Texas
and
I,
don't
mean
financially.
AA
AA
after
the
war
he
tried
to
attend
college
on
the
GI
bill,
but
being
on
a
college
campus
was
too
difficult
after
what
he'd
seen
and
endured.
So
he
bounced
around
to
different
jobs,
a
roughneck,
a
school
bus
driver
until
he
became
a
letter
carrier
for
the
U.S
Postal
Service.
He
worked
for
the
Post
Office
for
more
than
30
years
and
though
our
house
was
modest,
my
dad
was
able
to
provide
our
family
with
a
home.
My
dad
was
also
a
leader
in
our
church,
a
deacon
who
ran
an
outreach
program
for
neighborhood
kids.
AA
Even
after
he
retired.
He
wasn't
done
with
work.
He
was
a
school
crossing
guard
and
a
security
guard
for
a
retirement
community.
My
dad
lived
a
life
of
service
and
he
was
buried
with
military
honors
in
our
world.
He
was
a
person
of
worth,
but
there
is
no
way
he
could
afford
to
buy
a
home
in
Thousand
Oaks.
There
are
many
people
of
worth
in
our
community
who
struggle
to
afford
to
live
here.
AA
I
have
a
friend
whose
daughter
is
in
college
to
become
a
teacher,
and
she
knows
she
cannot
afford
to
move
back
to
her
hometown
when
she
graduates
that's
the
case
for
many
people
of
worth,
including
teachers,
caregivers
street
sweepers
and
letter
carriers,
like
my
dad,
if
Thousand
Oaks
wants
to
meet
its
top
goal
of
becoming
an
inclusive
and
Equitable
City,
regardless
of
background
age,
ability
or
income
community
members
shouldn't
need
to
make
as
much
as
a
brain
surgeon
to
live
here.
And
how
do
we
measure
someone's
worth
you
see?
AA
My
daughter
has
developmental
disabilities
she's
not
likely
to
accumulate
either
wealth
or
what
Society
considers
accomplishments,
but
she
brings
light
laughter
and
love
wherever
she
goes
and
I
think
she's
a
person
of
worth
just
because
she
exists
to
whom
much
is
given
much
is
expected.
Council
members,
you
have
been
blessed
with
much
and
our
expectations
are
high.
Thank
you
for
listening.
Thank.

I
come
before
you
today
to
address
the
goals
and
priorities
for
the
city
and,
while
I'm
comforted
by
the
fact
that
your
first
and
second
goals
are
aligned
with
my
hopes
for
the
city.
I
did
want
to
address
some
points
to
further
highlight
why,
in
my
opinion,
they
should
be
at
the
top
of
the
city's
list.
AB
According
to
the
National
Alliance
to
end
hopeless
homelessness
in
their
March
2022
publication
they
describe
housing.
First
is
a
homeless
assistance
program
that
prioritizes
providing
permanent
Supportive
Housing
to
people
experiencing
homelessness,
and
while
the
city
council
May
believe
that
it
has
addressed
that
component
by
the
development
of
the
Quality
Inn
project,
the
reality
is
that
those
units
will
be
filled
immediately
upon
completion
without
even
touching
the
population
entering
the
navigation
Center.
AB
The
solution
is
creating
more
permanent
Supportive,
Housing
Pathways
in
our
city
and
affordable
housing
for
the
very
low
income
categories.
So,
let's
talk
about
evictions,
here's
the
reality
for
families
that
are
on
Cal
works
or
social
services
when
they
face
rent
that
is
raised
a
job
that
is
lost
or
they
become
ill.
According
to
the
Department
of
Social
Services
fact,
sheet,
Social
Services
will
provide
once
in
a
lifetime
benefit
for
up
to
16
calendar
days
for
a
motel
not
to
exceed
145
dollars
a
day.
AB
They
will
receive
maybe
money
for
a
security
deposit
or
two
months
if
their
back
rent.
While
this
safety
net
is
welcome,
the
reality
is
you've
been
evicted
and
you
probably
will
be
less
likely
to
find
a
new
rental
and
generally
not
in
the
16
days
that
social
services
provides
keeping
families,
older
adults
and
the
disabled
vulnerable
population
housed
should
be
part
of
your
goal
by
increasing
Community
block
grants
to
support
eviction
prevention.

I'm
Wendy
Zimmerman
from
Newbury
Park,
sadly
to
say
because
Andrew
powers
and
staff
did
not
get
attachment
to
into
the
packet
in
a
timely
format.
Many
of
the
comments
that
you
have
received
are
not
as
up
to
date
as
we
would
like
them
to
be.
I
wrote
my
own
comments,
which
are
Incorporated
here
in

appear
in

Pages

AC
I'm,
starting
with
the
Civic
Arts
Plaza,
the
renovations
at
the
City
Civic
Arts
Plaza-
that
I
believe
need
to
be
made,
are
to
the
programming
and
to
make
it
our
offerings
more
affordable
and
inclusive.
The
buildings
are
fine.
We
just
need
to
do
a
better
job
of
putting
things
that
we
can
attend
in
those
buildings.
AC
As
to
the
development
in
the
Rancho
Conejo
industrial
Zone,
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
preserve
our
public
access
to
the
Conejo
Canyon's,
open
space
trail
system
and
keep
nature
in
good
shape.
There.
The
Conejo
canyon
system
is
one
of
the
best
in
the
Thousand
Oaks
area.
We
need
to
see
it.
We
need
to
be
able
to
use
it.
The
neighboring
businesses
need
to
be
kept
from
polluting
it
and
to
preserve
Wildlife
access
as
well
as
ours.
AC
Just
because
you
can
Channel
people
into
corridors
doesn't
mean
you
can
do
the
same
thing
to
animals
and
other
wildlife.
We
need
to
think
more
broadly
about
their
welfare
and
habitats.
By
helping
their
habitats
be
healthy.
Ours
will
be
too
more
and
more
laws
in
California
are
based
on
public
transit
that
works.
Thousand
Oaks
does
not
have
a
working
public
transit
system;
it
goes
nowhere
when
people
need
it.
AC
It's
important
that
we
look
to
the
Future
and
be
timely.
We
need
to
be
professional,
we
need
to
communicate
with
the
public
and
we
need
to
take
actions
that
Foster
discussion
when
it
should
be
held
not
with
documents
that
come
after
the
fact,
I
want
to
say,
staff.
Shame
on
you
for
not
making
this
happen,
I've
seen
it
more
than
once.
We
need
to
do
a
better
job
and
we
can
do
a
better.

We
desperately

Equity,
Building
residential
homes,

townhouses,

single-family
homes,
in

I.
Ask
that
the
council
members
be
aware
and
make
careful
decisions
where
there
are
shenanigans
and
shell
games
being
played
by
commercial
Developers
in
requesting
trading
of
land
zones
and
who
are
never
in
the
business
of
actually
building
residential
development
on
the
residential
land
that
they
own
resist
the
commercial
development
also

AE
I
was
a
student
here
at
Cal
Lutheran,
both
for
my
undergrad
and
my
masters,
and
I'm
also
raising
my
child
in
Thousand,
Oaks,
so
I'm
speaking
tonight,
not
only
as
a
representative
of
my
organization,
but
as
someone
who
is
deeply
invested
in
the
community
because
it's
my
home
and
I
care
about
the
people
here,
So
based
on
the
community
opinion
survey
that
I
saw
in
the
attachment
tonight.
I
noticed
that
the
top
most
specific
way
that
the
city
can
be
improved
now
and
in
the
future
is
to
address
homelessness.
AE
AE
This
will
not
only
improve
their
quality
of
life,
but
their
Safety
and
Security.
The
added
benefit
is
that
they
will
be
able
to
seek
additional
services
that
they
might
need,
but
don't
have
access
to
without
a
permanent
and
stable
home.
Affordable
housing
will
only
improve
the
Safety
and
Security
of
those
experiencing
homelessness,
but
the
safety
of
our
entire
community.
AE
The
police
will
not
be
needed
to
respond
to
quote-unquote
crimes
related
to
homelessness
and
will
have
the
ability
to
spend
more
time
focusing
on
other
issues
in
the
community.
The
money
spent
on
these
patrols
and
responses
can
also
be
reallocated
to
other
high
priority
issues
like
Health
Care
Mental,
Health
Care.
AE
As
my
colleague
at
LSS
already
discussed,
there
is
a
significant
need
for
meeting
this
priority
and
there
are
many
benefits.
This
investment
is
not
only
humanitarian,
but
economic,
more
affordable
housing
means
more
dollars
that
can
be
invested
in
our
community
and
it's
true
that
a
high
tride
raises
all
boats.
Thank
you.

We
have
two
kids
in
the
community.
We
have
two
businesses
and
we
are
dedicated
to
making
our
community
the
best
we
can
and
putting
in
effort
to
do
that.
I
know:
there's
been
a
lot
of
chatter
about
this
property
and
it's
very
disheartening
to
hear
the
false
information.
Those
who
are
against
the
property
are
sharing.
Over
the
past
few
months,
I've
heard
from
many
neighbors
that
there
have
been
people
walking
around
sharing
information
and,
after
speaking
to
them
I
realized
that
it
was
false
or
not
entirely
true.
AF
AF
One
of
the
members
also
came
to
my
neighborhood,
which
I
live
right
across
the
street
from
Earth
which,
as
you
know,
is
a
non-neighborhood
school,
meaning
that
ninety
percent
of
the
people
drive
in
she
was
videotaping
all
of
the
traffic
I
assure
you.
There
are
many
parents,
not
following
rules
of
dropping
kids
off,
but
that's
a
public
comment
for
cbsd
but
she's
taking
videos
of
it.
It
there's
traffic
in
front
of
every
school
at
8
15
in
the
morning
and
2
30,
and
so,
if
you've
received
that
information,
it
is
also
false.
AF
AF
AF
B
AG
You
Council
so
I'm
going
to
talk
about
affordable
housing.
It
is
the
top
issue
in
the
city.
It
should
be
the
top
priority
for
the
city
and
I've
lived
in
the
same
neighborhood
as
Ranch
Mobile
Home
Park
for
24
years.
The
entire
time
I've
lived
in
the
city
of
Thousand,
Oaks
and
I
do
agree
that
it
should
be
made
and
into
an
overlay
zone.
So
those
seniors
are
protected.
AG
I
work
in
a
market
rate
senior
facility
I've,
seen
several
people
move
out
of
there
after
a
rent
hike
because
they
just
could
not
afford
to
stay
there,
so
seniors
need
to
be
protected
and
as
for
affordable
housing,
overall
I
think
one
thing
the
council
needs
to
keep
in
mind
is
that
when
developments
are
being
built,
that
you
cannot
let
developers
have
a
blank
check
and
not
include
any
affordable
units
in
their
their
developments
and
I'm,
not
talking
like
one
or
two
units.
It
has
to
be
more
than
that.
The
minimum
is
not
enough.
AG
It
has
to
be
more
something
that
is
going
to
be
sustainable
for
people
of
lower
to
Middle
incomes
to
live
here
and
low
income.
Isn't
all
that
it
used
to
be?
It
includes
a
lot
of
people
who
make
a
good
amount
of
money,
but
can't
afford
to
live
here.
So
keep
that
in
mind
and
as
for
the
property
in
Newbury,
Park
I've
seen
the
proposed
project
and
it's
a
good
project
for
Universal
City.
AG
It's
not
appropriate
for
that
particular
area
of
Newbury,
Park
and
I'll
say
that
in
all
honesty,
that's
not
an
offense
to
anybody
who
supports
the
project-
and
you
got
to
ask
yourself-
is
that
particular
developer
going
to
include
affordable
housing
in
that
development?
Probably
not
so,
zoning
changes
have
to
be
taken
very
seriously
and
made
carefully
so
I
would.
If
the
council
does
not
want
to
reject
the
zoning
change,
then
leave
it
to
the
voters
in
that
particular
area
to
make
that
change.
AG
AH
Minutes,
mayor
McNamee
city,
council,
city
manager,
Powers,
my
name
is
Mark
Perryman
I'm,
the
chief
of
staff
for
Ventura
County
District
2.
on
behalf
of
Ventura
County
Supervisor
Jeff
Garrell
we'd,
like
to
express
our
gratitude
to
the
council
for
its
prioritization
and
goal
setting
of
A
Thousand
Oaks
based
East
County
Family
Justice
Center.
AH
Today's
supervisor
guerrell
brought
forward
a
motion
to
the
County
Board
of
Supervisors
to
bring
a
family
Justice,
Center
or
fjc,
based
here
in
Thousand
Oaks,
to
support
the
victims
of
domestic
violence,
sexual
assault,
child
abuse,
human
trafficking
amongst
other
items.
After
hearing
from
the
district
attorney,
the
additional
time
would
be
needed.
The
Board
of
Supervisors
passed
a
motion
to
prioritize
the
East
County
fjc
effort
after
completion
of
the
Carmen
Ramirez
Oxnard
fjc.
AH
Accordingly,
we
are
still
on
the
path
to
bring
a
family
Justice
Center
to
Thousand
Oaks,
but
it
will
take
just
a
little
bit
more
time
than
we
had
planned.
We
appreciate
this
Council
and
City
Management's
partnership
and
the
interest
in
bringing
forward
a
real
County
service
to
Thousand
Oaks
to
help
our
most
needy
residents.
Thank
you.
So
much.
B
Thank
you,
I
would
like
to
just
conclude.
The
following
of
the
public
comments.
Is
that
the
beauty
of
our
system
of
government
here
in
the
United
States,
is
that
your
voices
are
very
important
and
at
the
city
council
levels,
they're
heard
the
loudest,
you
all
were
very
articulate
very
polite
and
I.
Thank
you
very
much
for
making
your
voices
heard
and
your
points
of
view.
It's
very
important
to
all
of
us
here
at
the
council.
AI
Okay,
I
think
they
got
it
turned
up
we'll
just
put
it
really
close
great
to
see
everybody
tonight,
thanks
to
everyone
for
coming
and
speaking
this
evening.
This
is
always
a
great
meeting,
as
several
of
the
speakers
mentioned.
It's
our
chance
and
a
little
bit
less
formal
setting
to
have
a
conversation
about
the
priorities
from
the
previous
year
and
the
strides
that
have
been
made
in
those
areas
and
it's
an
opportunity
for
us
to
this
year,
hear
our
community
attitude
survey
results.
AI
We
do
that
every
few
years
and
so
an
opportunity
to
hear
from
our
survey
researcher
on
that.
We
will
then
be
setting
our
priorities
for
the
year
ahead.
Council
will
have
a
conversation
about
their
goals
as
we
align
that
with
the
budget
process
and
reaffirm
your
city,
council
Norms,
so
that's
kind
of
the
lay
of
the
land
for
this
evening.
Our
intent
to
start
out
with
is
we're
going
to
do
a
quick
review
of
our
2022-2023
priorities.
AI
P
P
City
staff
has
worked
diligently
and
expeditiously
over
this
past
year
to
address
your
Council
priority.
Exploring
options
to
address
homelessness
has
actually
been
a
priority
for
this
Council
since
2018.,
the
city
council
previously
took
several
steps
in
addressing
homelessness.
This
included
enhanced
education
and
engagement
efforts
declaring
a
local
shelter
crisis
so
that
our
local
nonprofit
organizations
could
access
funding
and
also
signing
the
regional
county-wide
mou
on
homelessness.
P
It
was
just
a
year
ago,
when
I
provided
an
update
to
the
city
council
on
our
progress
towards
identifying
advancing
solutions
for
homelessness
that
we
were
all
cautiously
optimistic
about
the
state
of
California
project
home
key
Grant.
There
was
no
like
real
certainty,
whether
or
not
the
city
would
receive
that
funding,
and
since
that
time,
as
you
are
all
aware,
we
received
an
unprecedented
amount
of
funding
of
27
million
dollars
to
convert
the
Quality,
Inn
and
Suites,
which
is
a
conceptual
rendering
here
on
the
screen
before
you.
P
In
addition,
just
one
year
ago,
there
was
uncertainty
around
identifying
a
location
and
site
for
an
emergency
shelter.
We
had
share
with
the
city
council
that
the
cost
of
acquiring
property
was
just
astronomical
and
the
environment
at
the
time
just
did
not
lend
itself
well
to
securing
a
site,
and
since
that
time
the
city
council
has
also
unanimously
supported,
utilizing
the
city-owned
property
at
1205,
Lawrence
Drive
as
a
future
site
for
a
navigation
Center.
P
Although
the
fruits
of
your
priorities
are
not
visible
to
the
public
just
yet.
The
city
council's
commitment
to
affordable
housing,
permanent
Supportive,
Housing
and
temporary
shelter
and
the
tangible
actions
that
are
underway
demonstrates
your
continued
alignment
with
our
residents
feedback
on
addressing
homelessness
and
affordable
housing.
As
you
had
seen
in
the
most
recent
Community
attitude
survey,
which
will
be
covered
by
our
consultant
finally,
I
just
want
to
mention
that
the
city's
efforts
to
address
homelessness
is
not
done
in
a
vacuum.
P
AJ
Thank
You
Ingrid
good
evening,
mayor
mcmean
council
I'm,
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
water
conservation
when
it
comes
to
water
conservation.
This
past
year
has
been
a
quite
a
change
for
residents.
The
2022
drought
restrictions
were
handed
down
to
the
city
from
Metropolitan
water
district
through
cayugus
in
late
spring.
2022.
AJ
compliance
required
the
city's
residents
to
reduce
their
water
use
by
setting
irrigation
time
timers
to
one
day
per
week
and
limiting
the
time
for
each
station
to
10
minutes.
The
city
complied
with
the
requirements
as
well,
allowing
City
maintained
lawn
areas
to
turn
brown
at
City
Hall,
as
well
as
other
area
green
belts
throughout
the
city.
For
the
most
part,
our
residents
responded
positively,
and
after
a
few
months,
we
were
able
to
reduce
our
water
use
Citywide
by
over
30
percent.
AJ
Our
residents
allowed
their
lawns
to
die,
and
many
are
currently
re-landscaping
their
yards
to
include
native
species
and
converting
the
irrigation
systems
to
drip
to
keep
our
Urban
forests
healthy
and
maintain
water
conservation
levels
with
leadership
by
our
city
council.
The
help
of
our
educational
outreach
program
and
supports
from
our
residents.
The
city
met
our
water
conservation
objectives
and
we're
able
to
avoid
any
further
restrictions.
A
big
Thanks
goes
out
to
all
of
our
residents
due
to
an
abundance
of
rainfall
and
snowpack
received
in
the
Sierras
this
year.
AJ
AJ
The
severe
drought
of
the
last
few
years
has
been
a
catalyst
of
change
for
many
of
the
water,
purveyors
and
suppliers
in
our
region
that
depend
on
imported
water.
Cayugas
already
knew
that
were
entirely
dependent
on
Metropolitan
to
deliver
water
to
their
customers,
but
hadn't
really
thought
about
the
scenario
whereby
the
state
couldn't
deliver
that
water.
AJ
AJ
The
result
has
been
a
sense
of
urgency
and
renewed
Spirit
of
cooperation
between
both
suppliers
of
water,
such
as
cayagus
and
the
local
water
retailers
such
as
camrosa,
the
city
and
Los
virgines.
The
renewed
Spirit
has
led
to
these
agencies
meeting
together
more
regularly
to
discuss
Regional
projects
and
studies
that
create
local
water
supplies.
That
will
make
our
region
less
reliant
on
imported
water
and
provide
us
more
of
a
buffer
during
future
Statewide
drought.

Each
topic
and
chapter
will
include
goals
to
describe
the
city's
overall
vision
policies
that
support
the
achievement
of
those
goals
and
implementation
actions
that
will
be
completed
by
various
City
departments.
Within
a
given
time
frame
to
execute
the
goals
and
policies
of
the
general
plan
consistent
with
prior
phases
of
the
project,

Outreach
and
engagement
for
the

of
people
within

not

to
residents,

The
general
plan
was
last
comprehensively
updated,
Back
in
1970,
so
reaching
this
juncture
in
the
project
has
been
a
Herculean
task.
We
are
extremely
excited
about
the
progress
we've
made
as
we
enter
the
final
phase
of
the
project
and
move
towards
completion
and,
with
that
said,
I
will
hand
it
off
to
our
finance
director.
AL
AL
A
team
of
City
staff
has
been
working
diligently
since
then
with
people's
self-help,
and
we
have
made
progress
on
the
site
plan
on
the
DDA
and
on
dissolution
of
the
property.
It's
currently
anticipated
that
that
developer
will
come
before
Planning
Commission
and
City
Council
in
this
upcoming
winter
and
with
that
proposed
project
and
the
DDA
staff
is
working
very
closely
with
the
developer
on
the
site
plan,
as
well
as
providing
support
and
advocacy
for
both
federal
state
and
County
funding.
AL
For
this
exciting
project
on
the
in
Luffy
front
city,
council
provided
initial
direction
for
the
inclusionary
housing
program,
update
at
the
November
1st
2022
city
council
meeting,
which
included
considerations
for
applicability
and
alternative
options
for
construction
of
affordable
housing
or
the
payment
of
an
in-lu
fee.
Most
recently
on
February
23
2023
city
council
discussed
the
results
of
the
inclusionary
housing,
Financial
evaluation
and
the
non-residential
development
linkage
fee
Nexus
study
and
provided
further
Direction
on
completing
updates
to
the
city's
ordinances.
AL
The
project
team
is
currently
working
on
policy
recommendations,
report
based
on
Direction
received
from
city
council
and
is
preparing
a
draft
ordinance
updating
our
municipal
code
for
the
inclusionary
housing
program.
These
will
be
presented
to
the
Planning
Commission
for
consideration
and
recommendation
to
the
city
council
in
Fall
of
2023..
AL
Finally,
the
city
has
an
additional
4.6
million,
still
left
out
of
that
16
million
in
budget
that
is
being
proposed
or
upcoming
biennial
budget,
and
we
can
use
this
additional
funds
towards
affordable
housing
so
that
any
opportunity
that
may
arise
over
the
next
two
years,
City
can
jump
on
it
quickly
to
provide
even
more
additional,
affordable
housing
in
the
city.
With
that,
I
would
like
to
turn
it
over
to
our
police
chief
Mr
Paris
foreign.
AM
Council
members
I'm
grateful
to
be
here
tonight
to
report
to
back
to
you
on
the
status
of
Public
Safety
in
the
city
of
Thousand
Oaks
part.
One
crime
remains
at
historic
lows:
After
experiencing
seven
percent
drop
in
crime
last
year
in
2022,
I'm
very
pleased
to
announce
that,
after
having
the
first
four
months
of
2023,
we
are
down
10
percent
in
crime.
Compared
to
this
time.
Last
year,
significant
progress
has
been
made
in
combating
transnational
theft
groups.
AM
We've
been
partnering
with
our
regional
and
federal
law
enforcement
Partners
using
a
task
force
model
leading
to
a
reduction
in
crime
by
these
groups.
This
would
include
crimes
such
as
residential
burglaries,
organized
retail
theft
and
some
Trailhead
burglaries.
In
2022
we
had
the
lowest
number
of
residential
burglaries
since
the
year
2000.,
the
city's
investment
in
automatic
License
Plate
Reader
technology
has
assisted
in
tackling
these
transnational
theft
groups
and
other
crime
Trends
we're
facing
which
includes
organized
retail
theft
and
catalytic
converter
theft.
AM
The
LPR
cameras
and
Partnerships
with
local
Regional
agencies
have
been
essential
to
combating
these
crime
trends.
The
fentanyl
crisis
is
affecting
our
city
as
it
is
all
of
our
neighbors.
Although
overdoses
have
increased
by
quite
a
bit,
fatal
overdoses
have
remained
steady
and
that's
thanks
to
the
County's
naloxalon
program,
also
known
as
Narcan,
that
stopped
many
of
the
the
overdoses
from
becoming
fatal.
The
Sheriff's
Office
recently
reorganizes
narcotics
Bureau,
creating
a
county-wide
task
force
to
combat
the
fentanyl
crisis.
AM
This
task
force
is
called
VC
Focus
and
the
Thousand
Oaks
Police
Department
is
a
major
contributor
to
its
mission.
Traffic
Safety
has
been
a
key
focus
of
Thousand
Oaks
Police
Department.
Regular
meetings
are
taking
place
between
the
topd
Traffic
Unit
and
City
Traffic
Engineers.
To
address
issues
such
as
speeding
and
bicycle
safety.
A
motorcycle
officer
position
was
converted
to
a
DUI
traffic
car
that
is
scheduled
during
weekend
nighttime
hours
when
DUI
drivers
are
more
prevalent,
our
homeless
intervention
strategies
continue
to
bear
fruit.
AM
All
our
vulnerable
population
officers
work
closely
with
City
staff
to
address
homeless
issues
and
to
prepare
for
the
upcoming
housing
projects.
We
have
worked
hard
to
develop
strong
Partnerships
with
Caltrans
and
California
Highway
Patrol
Those
two
Partnerships
have
really
gotten
a
lot
stronger
in
the
last
year,
County
watershed
and
with
private
entities,
Each
of
which
has
proven
to
be
active
Partners
in
addressing
encampments
in
the
city,
we're
in
the
process
of
supplementing
our
two
vulnerable
population
officers
that
are
full-time
with
four
four
Patrol
deputies
that
will
be
cross-trained
as
collateral
vulnerable
population
officers.
AM
This
will
give
the
city
24-hour
coverage
of
specially
trained
deputies
to
address
these
issues.
That
will
give
us
the
opportunity
to
provide
services
and
look
at
these
problems
24
hours
a
day,
seven
days
a
week
which,
right
now
due
to
scheduling
like
on
the
weekends,
we
sometimes
don't
have
any
coverage
for
those
issues.
AM
School
safety
has
been
the
top
of
our
list.
This
year,
we've
worked
closely
with
school
board
and
local
school
officials
to
address
safety
concerns
quickly
and
thoroughly.
We
have
attended
numerous
seminars
put
on
by
the
Ventura
County
Office
of
Education,
covering
threat
assessments
and
response
to
active
assailants.
AM
The
bridges
of
communication
built
this
year
were
sorely
needed
as
a
school
district.
The
city
and
the
Sheriff's
Office
responded
to
several
serious
incidents
in
our
schools
this
year,
including
the
recent
tragedy
at
West,
Lake
High
School,
the
Thousand
Oaks
Police
Department
is
grateful
for
the
strong
support
of
the
city,
council
and
City
staff.
That's
given
us
the
tools
to
keep
Thousand
Oaks,
one
of
the
safest
cities
in
the
nation.
Thank
you
and
this
concludes
my
presentation.
I
will
now
pass
it
off
to
Helen
Cox.
AN
Thank
you
Jeremy
and
good
evening,
mayor
McNamee
and
members
of
the
council
I'm
here
to
tonight
to
provide
an
update
on
our
work
in
environmental
sustainability.
Over
the
past
year,
we've
made
significant
strides
in
planning
for
and
implementing
sustainability
initiatives
in
the
city
in
February
this
year,
Council
approved
the
five
and
a
half
million
dollar
contract
to
install
solar
at
six
City
facilities.
These
are
the
Teen
and
adult
centers,
our
two
libraries,
the
venue
where
we
are
here
tonight
at
the
Los
Robles
golf
course,
and
our
Transportation
Center.
AN
AN
If
awarded
this
project
would
move
to
design
and
construction
in
fall
this
year
to
accelerate
and
support
a
transition
to
clean
Transportation.
The
city
is
investing
in
Fleet
and
public
electric
vehicle
charging
infrastructure
to
add
to
the
22
existing
charging
ports
that
Council
approved
in
2019
14.
Additional
charging
ports
are
currently
in
construction
at
our
two
libraries
and
four
others
were
completed
at
the
municipal
service
center
in
2022
to
support
electric
bus
charging
staff
is
actively
pursuing
additional
grant
funding
for
more
electric
vehicle
charges
to
support
Community
needs.
AN
These
themes
are
prominent
in
the
city's
draft
climate
and
environmental
action
plan,
and
then
administrative
draft
of
the
plan
is
on
the
internal
review
and
staff
is
conducting
data
Gathering
within
the
community
related
to
the
proposed
actions,
greenhouse
gas
calculations,
projections
and
modeling
work
for
the
emissions
impacts
of
proposed
actions
have
been
completed
and
are
in
review
by
our
consultant
following
Community
engagement
and
environmental
review.
This
year,
the
climate
action
plan
will
be
brought
to
council
following
the
adoption
of
the
general
plan.
AN
AO
Can
you
hear
me
okay,
good
evening,
mayor
back
to
me
and
members
of
city
council
I'm
preparing
you
this
evening
to
talk
about
this
City's
recent
pre-screen
projects
that
have
been
approved
or
in
process
recently?
Well,
first
I'd
like
to
talk
about
what
the
pre-screen
process
is
just
remind
everyone
that
the
pre-screen
process
was
established
to
be
a
tool
for
the
city
to
consider
residential
projects
while
we
go
through
the
general
Plan
update.
AO
Many
of
these
projects
have
Incorporated
that
and
the
four
I'm
going
to
touch
on
right
now,
which
were
proposed
and
approved
this
past
year,
listen
to
city
council,
Incorporated,
Design
Elements
and
were
successful
in
their
proposal
to
city
council.
The
first
was
the
IMT
project
located
at
325
Hampshire
Road.
AO
AO
The
other
project
or
the
second
project,
is
one
at
one:
Baxter
Way,
which
was
a
Kennedy
Wilson
project
that
was
240
apartment
units
with
34,
affordable
units
that
is
going
to
take
a
place
on
a
vacant
portion
of
the
site
where
an
existing
industrial
office
building
exists.
Now
there'll
be
the
apartments
plus
a
parking
structure.
AO
The
third
project
that
was
approved
this
year
was
at
88
Long
Court.
That's
the
replacement
of
existing
underutilized
office,
building
with
an
apartment,
building
containing
73
apartments
and
eight
affordable
units,
and
that
project
will
help
Revitalize
the
Western
portion
of
the
boulevard
or
in
big
rate,
if
you
will-
and
the
third
project
is
over
off
of
French
canoe
Boulevard
the
Chappelle
project,
it
is
a
26
apartment
units
and
serves
an
extension
to
the
Arroyo
Villas
apartments
and
that
project
done
itself.
AO
AO
That's
it's
actually
a
form
of
City
Hall
that
is
proposing
333
apartments
with
30,
affordable
units
that
will
actually
be
before
you
on
June
20th.
So
that's
well
on
its
way
to
consideration
the
the
last
project
we
have
pending.
The
pre-screen,
at
least,
is
that
500
000
Boulevard,
that's
known
as
the
dancing
Beacon
site
it's
vacant,
it's
near
hoden
Camp.
It
has
a
high
tension,
Towers
traversing
it
that
is
300
and
128
units
with
40,
affordable
units
being
proposed.
AO
So
this
Project's
going
to
come
before
you
in
the
near
future.
Well,
the
near
future
for
the
2150,
the
500
after
the
environmental
document
takes
place,
though,
with
that
I'd
like
to
touch
on
some
of
the
existing
projects
that
are
either
under
construction.
I
want
to
mention
that
the
Kmart
site
is
actually,
if
you
have
you
driven
by
it,
it
has
construction
activity
now
so
they're
moving
towards
development,
the
Lakes
project
that
was
126
Apartments,
that's
still
going
through
the
plant
check
process.

On
the
planning
front,
we
continue
to
be
equally
as
busy
through
LMS.
We
know
that
we're
receiving
on
average
about
84
applications
a
month
and
we
will
exceed
over
a
thousand
applications
a
year
on
the
planning
side
this
year.
As
well
and
that's
consistent
with
the
trend
we've
seen
over
the
course
of
the
last
several
years
and
Code
Compliance,
they
continue
to
be
extremely
active
in
the
community.
AK
So,
right
now,
roughly
60
percent
of
the
applications
we
receive
on
the
building
side
come
in
through
our
permit
center,
with
the
remaining
40
percent
coming
in
through
the
elements
LMS
system
online
on
the
planning
side,
there's
been
an
even
more
significant
shift,
with
almost
70
percent
of
the
applications
being
submitted
online
now
with
30
percent
coming
in
through
the
permit
Center.
So,
by
adding
this
new
element
to
how
we
serve
the
public,
it's
opened
up
a
new
frontier
that
we
have
to
serve
from
a
staff
perspective.
AK
While
we
have
more
work
to
do
in
terms
of
maximizing
what
we
can
gain
from
the
LMS
system,
the
program
is
already
planned
dividends
and
that's
what
we
can
see
from
the
reports
that
we're
running
since
we've
been
operational
from
November
in
terms
of
Staffing,
we've
presented
the
council,
numerous
CDD
updates
over
the
course
of
the
last
couple
of
years,
and
over
that
period,
we've
seen
a
sustained
increase
in
application
activity.
That's
continuing
into
this
year.
AK
With
these
strategic
Maneuvers
from
LMS
to
adding
key
additional
staff,
we
believe
that
we
can
continue
to
serve
the
community
in
the
manner
in
which
they
become
accustomed,
which
is
at
an
extremely
high
level.
That's
what
staff
strives
for
that's
what
the
community
expects,
and
this
allows
us
to
get
there
and
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
our
director

Thank
you
so
much
cliff
and
to
all
the
team
I
very
much
appreciate
those
updates.
I
know,
there's
quite
a
few
to
to
listen
to
there,
but
that's
really
representative
of
the
Strategic
Focus
that
we've
been
able
to
gain
from
this
process
on
annual
basis.
We've
made
tremendous
strides
and
I
think
the
council
has
seen
that
throughout
the
year,
but
this
process
of
focusing
in
these
areas
does
pay
dividends
and
so
very
proud
of
those
achievements.
B
Thank
you
appreciate
the
thoughts
I
have
I
just
share
some
other
concepts.
For
you
first
like
to
say
thank
you
for
Los
Robles
Queens
for
having
us,
my
wife
and
I
have
enjoyed
the
food
here
at
this
venue.
Does
a
wonderful
job
with
the
events
that
we've
attended
in
the
past,
as
well
as
a
beautiful
golf
course.
That
is
quite
the
tremendous
amenity
to
our
city.
B
It's
due
to
the
wonderful
staff
that
we
have,
who
are
very,
very
talented,
to
bring
the
quality
of
life
that
we
enjoy
and
we
actually
take
for
granted
until
you
listen
to
the
other,
Mayors
and
council
members,
so
to
all
the
staff
members
we
have
here
at
the
city,
I
say
thank
you.
You
made
this
wonderful
City
and
it
makes
it
make
all
of
us
here
on
Council.
Look
good
I
do
have
a
question
for
staff
here
and
two
years
ago
we
were
doing
Zoom
meetings
and
so
forth.
B
We
did
this
goal
setting
and
one
of
the
first
priority
that
was
made
and
brought
up
as
a
goal
setting
was
dealing
with
discrimination
and
equity
and
at
the
time
I
did
not
know
what
Equity
stood
for.
I
was
asked
for
an
explanation.
It
was
brought
forth
to
me
that
it's
similar
to
equality
and
that
I
could
buy
into
because
our
country
was
founded
on
equality,
equal
opportunity
for
everyone
to
be
the
best
they
can
in
purpose
in
life
and
I.
B
Don't
see
that
listed
here
as
part
of
the
top
10
or
12
that
we
have
here
and
I
want
to
come
back
and
revisit
changing
that
word
equity
over
two
equalities,
simply
because,
as
I
discovered,
the
definition
of
equity
is
equal
outcomes
that
everyone
must
wind
up
at
the
same
place,
which
is
not
what
our
country
was
founded
upon.
Equal
opportunity
is
what
it
was
founded
upon
and
that
to
me
is
more
in
line
with
the
strength
of
our
country.
B
Equity
is
nothing
more
than
Marxism,
and
I
cannot
align
with
Marxism
that
everyone
must
wind
up
living
the
same
house
living
in
the
same
neighborhood
and
that
doesn't
work
and
I
want
to
talk
about.
How
do
we
go
about
revisiting
that?
To
change
it
back
to
equality
which
the
civil
rights
leaders
of
the
60s
fought
so
hard
for,
and
I
advocate
for
Mr
Powers
a.

AQ
AR
I,
don't
have
any
questions,
but
I
will
say
it
has
been
a,
and
this
would
be
an
understatement,
a
banner
year
that
this
city
has
just
gone
through
thanks
to
staff-
and
you
know
I
look
at
these
10
priorities
that
we're
going
to
look
at
tonight.
We
have
a
jump
on
all
of
them
honestly,
and
it's
really
just
a
question
of
cons.
Continuing
the
work
that
we've
done
in
the
past
on
the
priorities
that
we're
looking
at
this
year,
so
great
job
and
I'm,
looking
forward
to
going
through
the
priority
exercise.
Thank.

Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Mr
Mayor,
just
a
couple
of
things
in
terms
of
this
is
going
to
be
a
banner
year.
We
have
our
general
plan
coming
to
fruition
this
year.
We
have
our
inclusionary
housing
positions
that
we're
going
to
be
taking
this
year.
A
lot
of
good
things
coming
I
have
one
question
on
our
on.
Our
other
large
item.
That's
coming
before
us
is
our
climate
is
our
seep,
our
climate
and
environment
action
plan.

There's
a
lot
more
on
there
and
our
ability
to
function
of
the
success
we've
had
in
recent
years
is
all
about
alignment,
and
that
just
comes
back
around
to
the
discussions
we're
going
to
have
this
evening
because
establishing
those
priorities,
those
areas
of
focus
and
maintaining
that
Focus
as
councilmember
Adam
mentioned,
is,
is
critical.
Even
though
we're
making
Headway
we
have
strides
in
certain
areas.
We
have
to
get
projects
over
the
finish
line,
and
this
gives
Council
a
dashboard
that
focuses
on
these
projects
and
initiatives
before
we
transition

attitude.

Well,
as
the
council
is
getting
seeded
again
introduce
going
to
introduce
our
survey
researcher
Dr
Timothy
mcclarney,
with
True
North
research,
one
of
the
preeminent
research
firms
in
the
state
doing
work
for
a
lot
of
different
agencies
and
municipalities,
and
he's
done
our
survey
research
for
a
number
of
years.
Allowing
us
to
compare
that
data
over
time.
AI
B
B
AT
AT
I
also
welcome
questions
for
Council
as
I
go
at
the
end,
whichever
is
your
preference
and
so
we'll
go
ahead
and
launch
into
the
PowerPoint
here
by
the
way.
This
is
a
summary
of
what
is
a
much
more
detailed
report
that
is
available
on
the
community
survey
for
for
those
who
are
interested.
So
when
we
do
the
study
for
the
city
every
few
years,
it's
really
designed
to
be
both
a
community
needs
assessment
tool,
as
well
as
a
performance
measurement
tool.
AT
So
it's
an
opportunity
to
understand
what
are
your
residents
needs
and
priorities
and
preferences
with
respect
to
the
service
facilities
you
provide
as
a
city?
What
are
their
needs
once
you
understand
what
their
needs
are?
We
flip
it
around
and
there's
to
measure
kind
of
while
the
city
is
performing
and
meeting
their
needs.
So
in
what
areas
are
you
exceeding
residence
expectations
and
what
areas
you
need
to
their
expectations
and
where
might
there
be
some
opportunities
for
improvement?
As
always
awesome.
AI
AT
AT
So
in
addition
to
measuring
the
satisfaction
with
city
services,
the
study
is
also
an
opportunity
for
us
to
dig
in
on
issues
that
are
topical
for
the
city
at
a
particular
point
in
time.
So
sometimes
that's
hopelessness.
Sometimes
it's
about
a
general
Plan
update
Etc,
and
so
we
always
try
and
keep
the
survey
a
little
dynamic
in
that
respect,
and
but
there's
also
core
questions
that
we've
repeated
over
time
and
you'll
see
in
today's
presentation.
We
do
have
data
not
just
from
2023,
but
also
going
back
to
2009..
AT
But
one
thing
that
always
sort
of
stands
out
to
me
is
how
it's
always
important
to
interpret
the
survey
results
in
light
of
the
context
that
we
find
ourselves
in
so
what's
happening
in
the
environment.
You
know
what's
happening
in
the
community
and
what's
happening
in
the
nation
can
obviously
impact
how
people
respond
to
these
surveys
and
by
just
about
any
standard
over
the
last
three
years
has
been
probably
one
of
the
most
challenging
times
that
we
as
a
nation
have
faced
and
the
local
level
many
communities
have
faced.
AT
Obviously,
at
the
top
of
that
list
of
challenges
was
the
pandemic.
It
really
changed
how
people
would
work
and
played
forced
local
agencies,
like
cities
and
Special
Districts,
to
sort
of
reinvent
how
it
is
that
they
deliver
their
services
and
that
created
some
challenges.
The
pandemic
itself,
although
that
seems
to
be
largely
over
the
lingering
effects
of
the
pandemic,
can
be
seen
in
a
lot
of
different
areas.
One
is
the
economy
right.
We
are
now
seem
to
be
on
the
you
know,
everyone's
the
pundits
sort
of
talk
about.
AT
You
know
the
possibility
of
an
economic
recession
being
around
the
corner.
At
all
times,
we've
got
lingering
supply
chain
issues.
We
have
inflation
that
hit
a
40-year
high,
not
that
long
ago,
both
the
cost
of
housing
and
the
cost
of
sort
of
borrowing
for
a
mortgage.
For
a
house
that
both
trended
sharply
upward
and
then
you've
got
banking
prices,
we
have
this
debt
ceiling
crisis
where
all
seem
to
be
in
a
manufactured
crisis.
The
moment
on
and
so
from
an
economic
perspective.
You
know
the
last
few
years
have
been
a
challenge.
AT
Add
to
that:
the
environmental
challenges
between
wildfires
and
heat
waves
and
that
transitioned
into
heavy
rain
and
flood,
and
you
know
all
of
that
can
sort
of
impact
utilities
and
and
also
you
know,
and
Home
Insurance
costs
and
then
finally,
I
sort
of
you
know
think
about
the
political
and
social
instability.
Over
the
last
few
years,
I
mean
it's
been
very
volatile
in
a
lot
of
ways.
AT
So
with
that,
let
me
jump
in
on
the
results.
Well,
first,
actually,
let
me
take
a
moment
to
review
the
methodology
really
quickly
we're
using
the
same
methodology
that
we
have
used
in
the
past.
For
the
city's
surveys.
We
are
choosing
households
at
random
from
comprehensive
list
of
households
within
the
community.
AT
Normally,
when
you
do
these
types
of
surveys
and
we
go
out
and
collect
the
data,
we're
looking
to
collect
anywhere
from
about
400
to
600,
completed
interviews,
this
last
survey
we
collected
1765
interviews
from
your
residence.
They
just
had
a
much
stronger
response
to
the
survey
than
we
had
sort
of
anticipated
and
that's
all
you
know
bonus
to
the
city,
no
extra
charge
for
the
extra
interviews,
but
we
had
a
really
good,
solid
response
from
the
community.
Now,
because
we
have
that
large
sample
size.
AT
This
first
slide
here
shows
the
results
of
one
of
the
opening
questions
in
the
survey
where
we
ask
residents
to
tell
us
overall,
how
would
they
rate
the
quality
of
life
in
Thousand
Oaks?
Would
they
say
it's
excellent,
good,
Fair,
poor
or
very
poor?
You
can
see
there
on
the
far
left
side
in
2023
we
had
92
percent
of
respondents
rate
the
overall
quality
of
life
as
excellent
or
good,
get
about
seven
percent
rated
as
to
fair
and
you've
got
about
two
percent
who
rated
it
as
poor
or
very
poor.
AT
We
did
see
a
bit
of
a
softening
here
where
the
percent
who
said
excellent
is
significantly
lower
than
it
was
in
2020
again.
That
gets
back
to
what
I
opened
this
presentation
with
sort
of
thinking
about
the
context.
This
is.
This
is
a
pattern
that
we've
seen
not
just
in
Thousand
Oaks
we've
seen
it
in
many
of
the
other
communities
that
we've
surveyed
as
well.
AT
After
that,
we
asked
respondents
to
tell
us
if
the
Sydney
could
change
one
thing
to
make:
Thousand
Oaks
a
better
place
to
live
now
and
in
the
future.
What
change
would
you
like
to
see
this
question
is
asked
in
an
open-ended
manner,
meaning
that
respondents
get
to
tell
us
in
their
own
words
what
it
is
that
the
change
that
they
think
of
is
most
desired.
AT
AT
At
about
12
percent
and
then
not
sure,
can't
think
of
anything
at
about
12
percent.
You
know
what's
interesting,
the
the
limiting
growth
and
providing
affordable
housing
are
sort
of
feel
like
there's
a
tension
there
right
and
it's
important
to
remember
that
you
have
different
people
hitting
on
different
issues
so
yeah
for
some
people,
the
Hot
Topic
is
limiting
growth
and
development
for
other
people.
A
topic
is
providing
more
affordable
housing,
so
they're
different
people
hitting
on
either
end
of
that
issue.
AT
Those
issues
and
as
far
as
the
homeless
issue
goes,
this
is
something
that
you
know
is
is
kind
of
top
of
the
list
in
a
lot
of
the
communities,
particularly
in
Southern
California.
In
recent
years
we
did
see
a
kind
of
an
increase
in
references
to
homelessness
cycle
relative
to
where
we
were
last
time
as
well
as
increases
in
mentions
of
affordable
housing
and
improving
Public
Safety
of
the
last
two
years.
AT
So,
moving
on,
we
asked
respondents
to
comment
on
how
satisfied
they
are
with
the
overall
job.
The
city
of
Thousand
Oaks
is
doing
to
provide
city
services.
Here
we're
asking
to
speak
about
the
city's
performance
in
general.
We
aren't
digging
in
on
a
specific
service
area
like
police
or
streets
and
Roads,
and
because
of
that
it
can
be
considered
an
overall
performance
rating
for
the
city.
AT
This
is
a
drop,
as
you
can
see
here
from
2020
of
about
eight
points,
but
as
you
dig
into
the
numbers,
what
you
see
is
a
lot
of
that
drop
is
accounted
for
by
the
gray
bar
at
the
top
there
being
larger,
meaning
the
percentage
who
weren't
sure
they
didn't
have
an
opinion
one
way
or
the
other
when
you
recalculate
these
percentages
to
be
just
among
those
with
an
opinion.
What
you
see
is
that
the
overall
satisfaction
level
in
2023
is
about
four
points
lower
than
it
was
in
2020.
AT
So
among
those
with
an
opinion,
there's
less
of
a
drop
again
that
gray
bar
there
growing
sort
of
pushes
the
other
categories
down
a
bit
now
that
last
slide
was
about
the
city's
overall
performance
and
providing
Municipal
services.
At
this
point,
we
dig
in
in
a
survey
to
all
of
the
different
specific
service
areas
you
see
here
on
the
slide,
and
we
ask
a
two-part
question.
The
first
is:
how
important
is
this
service
to?
AT
You
is
an
extremely
important,
very
important,
somewhat
important,
or
not
all
important,
as
you
can
see
here
when,
although
we've
asked
these
in
a
random
order,
we
sort
them
from
high
to
low.
In
terms
of
that,
combined
percentage
of
folks
who
said
it's
either
extremely
important
and
very
important,
and
we
tend
to
find
when
we
do.
This-
is
that
two
kind
of
categories
of
of
service
areas
rise
at
the
top
of
the
list.
That's
safety
and
Public
Works.
AT
So
top
of
the
list
there
provided
fire
protection,
Emergency
Medical
Services,
followed
by
maintaining
city
streets
and
Roads,
and
then
you
have
providing
trash
collection,
recycling
services,
maintaining
Park
areas
Etc.
So,
as
you
get
down
towards
the
bottom
of
the
list,
you
tend
to
get
into
some
topics
that
are,
you
know,
although
they're
valued
by
the
community,
they
just
don't
stack
up
as
high
as
public
safety
and
Public
Works
do
so
things
like
providing
cultural
and
Performing
Arts.
AT
Here's
interesting
you
see
facilitating
the
development
of
affordable
housing.
We
saw
that
that
was
the
top
three
issue.
When
you
asked
respondents
about
you
know
what
was
most
important
to
them
or
what
one
change
they'd
like
to
see
in
the
community.
It
was
top
of
mind
for
a
lot
of
for
a
certain
percentage
of
residents,
but
when
you
ask
it
of
all
residents,
it
kind
of
falls
to
the
lower
part
of
the
list
in
terms
of
overall
priority
now
the
same
list
of
services.
AT
We
also
ask
respondents
to
tell
us
how
satisfied
they
are
with
the
city's
efforts
to
provide
the
service
here
again
asking
a
random
order.
That's
ordered
from
high
to
low,
based
on
the
combined
percentage
of
folks,
who
said
they
were
satisfied,
and
you
can
see
that,
for
the
vast
majority
of
the
services
we
test,
you
have
over.
AT
Two-Thirds
of
respondents
tell
us
that
they're
satisfied
with
the
city's
efforts
to
provide
the
service
at
the
top
of
the
list
providing
fire
protection,
Emergency
Medical
Services,
providing
Library
Services,
maintaining
Park
areas
and
maintaining
public
land
landscape
areas.
You
know
all
of
those
are
testing
with
about
90
plus
of
respondents,
saying
they
were
satisfied
when
you
get
to
the
bottom
of
the
list.
AT
There's
a
couple
items
there
that
that,
where
you
have
a
strong,
a
bigger
difference
of
opinion
and
providing
housing
and
shelter
for
the
homeless,
facilitating
the
development
of
affordable
housing
and
managing
growth
and
development,
and
one
of
the
things
that
I've
seen
over
time
in
working
on
these
types
of
surveys
for
a
lot
of
cities
is
oftentimes.
The
things
that
wind
up
at
the
bottom
of
the
list
are
things
that
the
city
really
only
has
partial
or
limited
control
over
right.
AT
So
things
like
homelessness
or
things
like
affordable
housing
aren't
issues
that
the
City
by
itself
can
really
manufacture
a
particular
outcome.
Right,
there's
limits
to
what
you
can
do
about
homelessness,
there's
limits
to
your
ability
to
entice
developers
to
build,
affordable,
housing,
Etc
and
so
oftentimes.
The
things
at
the
bottom
of
the
list
are
those
things
that,
for
which
you
have
some
you
know
only
partial
control
over
the
outcome.
AT
AT
So
from
there,
we
move
on
to
a
number
of
new
questions
that
we
asked
in
2023.
There's
been
a
lot
of
discussion
recent
years
about
varying
access
to
essential
services.
So
you've
heard
about
things
like
food
deserts,
for
example,
or
Healthcare
deserts
or
you
know,
difficulties
some
individuals
have
in
getting
sort
of
clean
water,
and
so
we
wanted
to
ask
residents
whether
they
had
any
Services
items
or
amenities
that
their
household
needs,
that
they
have
difficulty
obtaining,
and
you
can
see
about
18
of
respondents
we
spoke
to
said.
AT
Yes,
there
are
some
items
that
our
household
has
difficult
difficulty
obtaining.
We
followed
up
with
those
18
of
individuals
to
ask
them
to
describe
you
know
what
are
the
most
important
services
or
items
that
their
household
needs
that
they
have
difficulty
obtaining.
This
was
an
open-ended
question,
so
they
got
to
tell
us
in
their
own
words
what
it
is
that
they
they
were.
Having
different
will
be
attaining
and
you
can
see
at
the
top
of
the
list.
15
percent
mentioned
waste
collection
and
Recycling
services.
AT
I
think
there's
I
know
from
doing
this
type
of
research
in
other
communities.
There's
certain
households
that
feel
like
the
recycling
program,
for
example
in
their
Community,
doesn't
quite
match
what
they'd
like
to
see
like.
Maybe
they
want
to
have
better
ability
to
recycle,
and
so
that
tends
to
pop
up
there.
AT
AT
Now
also
new
for
2023,
we
had
a
number
of
of
questions
that
were
sort
of
related
to
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion,
and
so
for
each
of
the
statements
that
you
see
here
on
the
screen.
We
simply
wanted
to
tell
ask
them
whether
they
agree
or
disagree
with
these
statements
about
Thousand
Oaks,
and
so
you
can
see
at
the
top
of
the
list.
There's
a
lot
of
agreement
among
residents.
AT
That
diversity
makes
the
community
stronger,
that
their
neighbors
look
out
for
them
and
that
the
city
and
the
rec
district
events
and
activities
help
to
make
residents
feel
and
stay
connected
with
each
other.
As
you
move
down
the
list,
there
tends
to
be
a
little
more
division
there
towards
the
bottom.
AT
AT
AT
Investing
in
road
maintenance,
investing
local
public
infrastructure
and
maintaining
Police
Services
sort
of
rise
at
the
top
of
the
list.
You
know,
as
you
get
to
the
bottom
of
that
list,
things
like
expanding
and
improving
the
local
trail
system
or
maintaining
Cultural
Arts
facilities
and
programming.
You
know
they're
at
the
Bible.
It
doesn't
mean
that
they're
not
popular.
They
are
popular.
Remember
that
we
purposefully
introduced
a
sense
of
competition
to
force
people
to
prioritize,
and
it's
just
that
those
items,
although
popular,
tend
not
to
stack
up
against
some
of
the
items
above.
AT
Rating
the
city's
performance
is
excellent
or
good
kind
of
continuing.
On
the
view
of
the
city.
As
a
public
agency,
we
also
go
on
to
ask
residents
to
tell
us
you
know
whether
they've
interacted
with
City
staff
in
the
past
year
and
how
they
would
rate
staffs,
professionalism,
accessibility
and
helpfulness.
Overall,
we
found
that
29
of
residents
did
in
fact
interact
with
City
staff
of
the
past
year
and
when
you
ask
these
individuals
to
rate
staff,
you
can
see
here
on
the
slide
they
get.
Staff
gets
very
high
marks.
AT
AT
City
resident
communication
has
been
a
challenging
area
for
most
cities
and
in
public
agencies.
What
we've
seen
over
time,
basically,
is
that
as
the
sort
of
opportunities
or
the
sources
that
people
can
turn
to
for
information
have
exploded
right.
You've
had
you
know
since
2009
you
have
the
Advent
of
things
like
social
media,
the
web.
You
know
the
the
access
to
the
internet
is
much
greater.
AT
You
have
this
proliferation
of
various
information
sources
such
that
if
you
pull
10
people
and
ask
them
where
they
get
their
information,
you're-
probably
going
to
get
10
different
answers
for
the
most
part
that
has
made
it
difficult
for
cities
to
communicate
with
residents,
because
you
know
they're
harder
to
reach.
It
used
to
be
that
everyone
sort
of
read
the
same.
AT
AT
Six
eight
years
is
the
expectations
that
people
have
for
communication
have
gone
up
right,
we're
all
sort
of
used
to
the
idea
that
I
should
be
able
to
know
about
anything
at
any
time
because
of
the
internet
because
of
my
smartphone
and
so
it
just
sort
of
raises
the
bar
in
terms
of
of
expectations
for
City
resident
communication.
The
consequence
has
been
for
most
cities
in
public
agencies.
There's
been
this
sort
of
steady
downward
Trend
in
terms
of
overall
satisfaction
with
City
resident
communication.
AT
AT
That
13
is,
you
know
the
percentage
of
people
say:
I
I,
don't
know
I,
don't
I'm
not
sure
has
gone
up
and
that's
part
of
what's
driving
that
that
score
down
a
little
bit
and
that
you,
if
you
were
to
actually
recalculate
this
just
among
those
when
the
opinion
satisfied
or
dissatisfied,
you
would
not
have
a
significant
drop
between
2020
and
2023.
So
most
of
that
difference
is
accounted
for
by
the
growth
in
the
gray
area.
AT
We
also
do
ask
residents
to
tell
us
what
information
sources
that
they
use
to
find
out
about:
city
of
Thousand,
Oaks
news,
Services
programs
and
events
Number
One
Source.
This
cycle
has
been
the
number
one
source
in
the
last
few
Cycles.
That's
the
acorn.
61
percent
of
folks
say
that
they
rely
on
that.
AT
For
this
information,
followed
up
by
social
media
like
Facebook,
Twitter,
Instagram,
23
next
door,
22
percent
City's
website
about
19
and
then
email
notifications
from
the
city
at
about
19
percent
overall,
okay,
so
down
to
the
last
slide
here,
I
appreciate
you're
sticking
with
me.
So
what
does
all
this
mean?
No
I
don't
want
to
detail
in
the
full
report
and
so
I'll,
try
and
sum
up
here.
AT
This
is
a
good
report
card,
especially
when
you
consider
the
challenges
again
that
the
city
has
been
facing
everything
that's
been
sort
of
difficult
about
the
last
three
years
that
I
opened
up
with
all
of
that
sort
of
sets
the
context
for
this,
and
when
you
consider
in
a
lot
of
ways,
you're
sort
of
swimming
Upstream
against
these,
you
know
challenging
forces.
The
fact
that
you
know
your
numbers
have
remained
as
steady
and
strong
as
they
have
is.
AT
You
know
a
really
good
thing
and
it's
a
sign
of
two
things
in
my
experience,
a
sign
of
really
good
leadership
on
the
part
of
council
and
it's
assigned
a
really
good
execution
on
the
part
of
staff,
and
so
you
know
just
again
here.
Despite
all
these
challenges,
we're
seeing
that
overall
satisfaction
with
the
community,
as
well
as
the
city's
performance
and
staff's
performance
in
meeting
residents
needs
on
a
daily
basis
is
really
high.
AT
In
particular,
you
know
we
saw
strong
results
with
respect
to
fire
protection
at
EMS,
Library,
Services,
Park
and
Landscape
Maintenance,
the
protection
of
Oaks
and
landmark
trees,
Recreation
programs
providing
services
to
senior
and
providing
police
services.
So
you
know
very,
very
strong
numbers
overall
and
again
considering
the
context
you
should
be
proud.
AT
AT
Where
do
we
have
opportunities
to
improve
our
performance
as
a
city
and
meeting
residents
needs,
and
those
are
the
bullets
you
see
there
at
the
bottom,
so
addressing
homelessness,
facilitating
affordable
housing,
managing
growth
and
development
management,
traffic
congestion,
promoting
the
economic
development,
maintaining
funding
for
police
and
fire
protection
and
City
Resin
communication
I
want
to
emphasize
that
these
are
priority
areas,
their
opportunities,
not
because
most
residents
are
dissatisfied
with
your
performance
in
these
areas.
That's
not
the
case.
AT
The
other
thing
I
will
point
out,
though,
is
it's
important
to
keep
in
mind
that
sometimes
these
addressing
these
issues
is
about
changes
in
service
and
changes
in
policy,
and
sometimes
it's
really
a
visibility
issue
right.
They
may
not
know,
for
example,
what
the
city
has
been
working
on
in
the
background
with
dealing
with
homelessness,
and
so
that
becomes
more
of
a
communication
challenge
than
it
does
sort
of
necessitate
a
change
in
policy
or
or
programs,
and
so
with
that,
let
me
go
ahead
and
end
my
presentation
and
and
I
welcome
questions
from
Council.
B
AT
So
I,
don't
you
know
I'm
searching
for
that
here,
I
think.
As
in
the
past,
we've
we've
done
them
in
English,
because
your
rates
of
linguistic
isolation,
the
city,
are
very
low,
but
I
would
need
to
double
check.
I'm,
just
I'm
searching
I
have
a
62-page
reporter
here
and
I
was
searching
for
it.
I
didn't
see
it
so
I
think
they
were
done
in
all
English,
but
it's
it's
I
would
want
to
double
check
that.
D
Yes,
I
was
wondering
you
had
some
qualifiers
on
the
results
of
the
survey
you
discounted.
Some
of
the
results
depended
on
our
coming
out
of
our
covid
and
pandemic
and
also
other
economic
issues.
Did
you
find
that
across
the
board,
in
some
of
the
other
cities
that
you've
surveyed
that
you've
also
used
that
same
methodology.
AT
Yeah,
you
know,
we've
saw
it's.
It's
been
a
common
pattern
right
that
that-
and
this
is
part
of
the
reason
why
I
opened
with
it,
because
sometimes
what
you're,
seeing
in
terms
of
your
numbers
in
your
local
community
survey,
are
reflective
of
sort
of
these
larger
macro
level
forces
that
are
not
only
impacting
you
they're,
also
impacting
other
communities,
and
we
we
have
seen
that
you
know
perceptions
of
equality
of
Life
concerns
about
things
like
affordable
housing
and
homelessness.
AI
I
think
I
might
add
to
that
as
well.
I
mean
we
had
the
conversation
early
late
last
year
and
before
the
survey
went
went
forward.
Some
jurisdictions
chose
to
skip
this
cycle
specifically.
For
those
reasons
we
felt
it
was
important
to
remain
consistent
right
because
you,
you
can
qualify
the
data
herb
you
want,
but
the
data
is
the
data
and
it's
good
to
see
that
and
know
that,
and
you
know
for
us.
AI
Looking
at
this
data,
you
know
a
lot
of
those
pieces
in
there
are
validation
on
a
lot
of
the
policy
directions
that
the
council
is
is
taking,
and
we
wouldn't
have
that
bad
data.
If
we
chose
to
do
that
and
there
were
certainly
jurisdictions
given
the
economic
Times
and
the
sort
of
overall
populous
chose
not
to
move
forward
with
their
survey,
research.
AR
AR
A
lot
of
my
questions
have
been
answered
frankly,
I'll
just
say
that
you
know
with
a
90
percent
positive
rating
from
our
residents
over
80
percent,
satisfied
with
city
city
performance
and
90,
and
the
best
part
was
90
approval
staff
performance.
That's
a
fantastic
I
mean
that's
an
a
I
think
we
got
an
A.
You.
AH
AR
AQ
Thank
you
mayor.
The
only
question
I
have
like
you
know
is
we
look
at
you
know
from
2020
to
today.
I
totally
understand
the
the
fall
off
or
the
drop
and
then
I
think
it's
I
think
it's
great
that
we
stay
consistent
on
it.
It
helps
us
I.
Think
be
honest.
The
only
question
I
have
and
I
may
have
missed
seeing
this,
but
on
the
quality
of
life
graph
it
looked
like.
We
were
consistently
dropping
since
prior
to
2020.
Is
that
accurate
and
if
so,
any
idea?
Why.
AT
Remained
very
pretty
steady
right,
I
mean
you're
you're
above
90,
excellent
or
good,
it's
the
percent,
who
are
saying
excellent,
as
has
dropped
a
bit.
You
know,
as
for
what
goes
into
that,
you
know
again,
every
you
can
look
at
the
different
cycles
and
and
sort
of
look
at
it.
I
know
that
housing,
affordability
is
one
thing
that
has
been
sort
of
playing
into
that
in
a
lot
of
communities
in
recent
years.
Homelessness
is
another
issue
that
sort
of
played
into
perceived
quality
of
life
in
recent
years.
AT
You
know
and
a
lot
of
that
sort
of
kicked
in
around
2016
and
and
we're
sort
of
seeing
that
in
your
numbers
here,
right,
2009,
2013,
2015
and
then,
and
then
17
20,
23
right
and
so
some
of
those
items
sort
of
preceded
the
pandemic.
Obviously,
from
2020
on
it's,
it's
been
more
about
the
pandemic.
I
will
also
point
out
that
the
survey
that
we
did
in
2020
was
just
a
couple
of
months
after
the
pandemic
started,
so
we
none
of
us
had
any
idea
what
we
were
in
for
right.
AT
AT
AI
Of
my
add
to
that
councilmember
Taylor.
Is
we
open
with
this
question?
It's
one
of
the
questions.
That's
been
consistent
since
09,
because
it's
kind
of
a
Bellwether
question,
it's
a
question
that
you
know
it's
not
about
the
city:
it's
not
about
the
organization.
It's
not
it's
about
just
a
pulse
check
on
you
and
how
you're
feeling
much
quality
of
life,
because
at
the
end
of
the
day
it
gives
you
a
flavor
for
where
your
residents
are
and.
E
AI
Know
I
think,
given
all
the
various
things
that
are
out
there,
the
you
know,
people
are
kids,
are
not
able
to
live
and
they're
nearby.
There's,
like
you
know,
we're
seeing
those
things
start
to
you
know
erode
a
little
bit
of
what
that
was
that
that
perceived
high
quality
of
life,
but
regardless
you're
still
seeing
you
know
if
you
did,
the
survey
and
and
Tim
doesn't
give
data
for
other
cities.
But
if
you
looked
at
this
in
a
lot
of
other
jurisdictions,
those
numbers
often
tremendously.
B
AI
Sure
so
we
do
maintain
direct
lines
for
all
of
our
organizations.
The
key
is
so
a
lot
of
people
that
know
where
they're
going
they
know
where
to
go.
We
do
have
a
customer
service
team
and,
as
you
might
imagine
running,
you
know
nine
to
ten
different
departments
that
phone
tree
can
get
complicated.
So
we
do
maintain
a
customer
service
base
that
works
out
of
our
finance
department.
So
you
can.
B
AI
Jamie,
do
you
know
the
answer
to
that
question?
I
I,
don't
know
off
the
top
of
my
head,
but
I
would
assume
that
that's
an
option
in
a
lot
of
areas.
It
you
know
you
have
to
understand
it
in
every
Department.
You
call
CMO,
you
call
in
those
various
areas.
You
have
an
opportunity
to
to
press
a
button
and
get
to
a
operator
I.
B
Will
ask
that
question
when
it's
posed
to
me
again
by
one
of
the
residents
to
ask
that
question?
Did
you
have
that
option
and
if
not,
why
not?
Second,
is
the
observation
that
the
dissatisfaction
that
was
the
greatest
in
the
survey
deals
with
things
that
are
really
out
of
our
control,
like
homelessness,
we're
looking
at
a
federal
state,
county
level
that
we
can't
really
address,
even
though
I
know,
City
staff,
and
this
this
Council
here
has
worked
diligently
to
address
the
Homeless
Problem.
B
This
community
doesn't
know
anything
about
it.
The
question
is:
how
do
we
let
the
community
know
that
we're
not
ignoring
this,
it's
an
active
daily
work
that
is
being
done
by
our
Council,
as
well
as
our
city
staff,
who
does
most
of
the
heavy
lifting
here.
How
do
we
communicate
our
challenges
to
the
community
to
know
it's
a
priority
for
us
and
we
do
care
about
our
homeless
quality
of
life
to
get
this
people
out
of
the
situation
they're
in
what
can
we
do
to
better
communicate.
AI
So
we've
got
a
robust
social
media
presence
and
Communications
presence.
The
challenge
ultimately
in
these
is
lag
time
right,
so
the
council
makes
Investments
and
to
move
things
forward.
You
have
processes
that
are
in
good
for
good
reason
and
for
our
navigation
Center
we're
going
to
go
through
a
SCP
process
to
get
that
facility
open,
I.
Think
the
key
for
us
is
touting
these
achievements
once
they're
operational
and
demonstrating
people
moving
into
homes.
AI
The
project
home
key
facility
should
be
open
later
this
year,
beginning
of
next
year,
will
have
an
opportunity
to
really
showcase
that,
to
you
know,
show
folks
that
that's
happening
I.
Think
the
other
Big
Challenge
here-
and
we
have
to
be
honest-
is
a
lot
of
people,
conflate,
homelessness
and
panhandling,
and
you
know,
while
they
are
two
distinctly
different
things.
AI
The
perception
of
of
that
and
its
impacts
around
the
community
does
bleed
into
that
in
perception
of
of
not
properly
addressing
that
so
Alexandra
and
her
team
are
doing
a
great
job
constantly
trying
to
break
through
we're
going
to
be
overhauling
our
website
over
the
course
of
the
year
ahead
will
give
us
another
Communications
vehicle,
but
maintaining
a
focus
on
the
messaging
that
matters
most
in
the
moment
and
not
flooding
people
with
messaging.
It's
been
part
of
our
strategy.
B
And
the
last
question
I
have
is
for
the
good
doctor
from
true
north
is
that
the
quality
of
life
results
that
we
see
here.
Yes,
it
was
done
right
after
the
you
know,
shortly
after
the
pandemic
and
to
Mr
Taylor's
comment,
I'm,
also
seeing
a
high
concern
regarding
homelessness
in
our
community,
and
how
do
we
correlate
that
and
see
if
there
is
any
correlation
between
the
presence
of
homeless
as
people
walk
around
our
city
and
have
to
deal
with
it
on
a
daily
basis?
B
AT
You
know,
there's
going
to
be
a
certain
amount
of
correlation
there.
We
have
surveyed
in
other
communities
where
we've
sort
of
seen
that
same
pattern,
where
you
know
the
more
visible
the
homelessness
is
or
the
more
concern
in
the
community
about
it,
that
the
perceptions,
the
quality
of
life
and
the
TV
can
go
down.
AI
AT
AT
AI
B
AT
Yeah
I
can
dig
that
up
from
the
call
center
disposition
data
and
look
at
it,
I
expect
it's
going
to
be
a
low
number
again
for
the
reasons
I
mentioned,
to
give
you
a
little
perspective
on
this,
so
you
have
about
23
percent
in
the
community
who
identify
as
Latino
that
is
actually
consistent
with
what
we're
seeing
on
Census
Data
as
well.
So
our
sample
matches
what
you
see
in
census
data.
AT
J
P
AT
B
AS
I
think
we're
all
in
agreement
here
at
concur
with
the
points
and
the
questions
you've
raised
here,
that
it
is
true
that
that
nearly
one
in
five
residents
is
Latino.
It
doesn't
mean
that
they
are
Spanish.
First
speakers,
nearly
one
in
ten
residences
Asian
doesn't
mean
they're,
Asian
language.
First
I,
don't
actually
know
the
percentage
of
residents
who
speak
Spanish
or
whether
that
language,
Spanish
or
whatever
language
is
an
impediment
to
doing
but
but
I
think
for
the
sake
of
having
every
head
counted
here.
AI
AI
It
is
the
more
consensus
that
that's
a
top
issue
for
you,
so
I
will
kind
of
quickly
run
through
them
and
then
I'll
just
really
hand
the
floor
over
to
you
to
talk
about
aspects
of
it.
You
know
additional,
you
know
there,
we've
we've.
What
we
tried
to
avoid
in
the
past
is
depth
of
word
smithing
and
our
Focus
here
is
more
to
get
the
context
from
you.
AI
Thank
you,
so
the
other
thing
I
would
ask
to
keep
a
focus
on
WE
we've
tried
our
best
to
take
the
different
pieces
that
we've
heard
from
all
of
you,
a
lot
of
different
things
and
incorporate
some
of
you
say
the
same
thing
in
a
little
bit
different
way.
Some
of
you
say
different
things
and
trying
to
find
a
spot
for
it
to
live,
but
at
the
same
time
it
dilutes
the
practice.
AI
D
I
think
in
some
respects,
these
three
are
are
related,
especially
homelessness
and
Public
Safety,
and
the
perception
of
Public
Safety
as
well.
So
for
me,
these
three
are
almost
interchangeable
in
their
location.
You
really
can't
go
wrong
with
it.
I
appreciate
what
the
council
member
Adams,
that
is,
our
our
survey
as
identified,
affordability
and
and
homelessness
as
a
number
one
and
two
priority
and
I'm
glad
to
see
that
Public
Safety
is
also
risen
to
that
level.
D
There's
some
really
good
things
that
can
happen
with
our
Public
Safety
and
our
our
police
and
fire
services.
Our
our
ambulance
services
are
traditionally
in
this
time
around
again
in
terms
of
appreciation
by
the
citizens.
Our
fire
and
EMS.
Services
was
again
the
highest
rated
of
any
so
I
think
we
have
to
continue
to
support
heavily
support
the
public
safety
aspects
of
things,
because
you
don't
want
that
to
become
a
problem
that
we
need
to
address
on
our
survey
right
now.
AI
AI
Absolutely
so,
our
and
a
lot
of
this
is
rooted
in
in
history
here
that
we've
that
I
inherited
and
carried
forward
and
have
refined
a
bit,
but
our
annual
process
on
priority
setting
is
really
focused
on
establishing
the
10
areas
that
are
more
project
and
initiative.
Focused
they're,
really
geared
around
actionable
tangible
things
that
we
can
focus
on.
AI
His
goals,
priorities,
yeah,
and
so,
as
you
heard,
the
updates
tonight,
a
lot
of
specifics
around
those
those
various
areas.
The
council
years
ago
during
the
budget
process
established
also
established
a
setting
of
Broad
City
goals
and
those
goals
were
first
established
as
part
of
the
budget
process
and
with
the
idea
being
they
guide
your
overarching
focus
of
organizational
fiscal
management
and
where
your
your
activities
lie.
AS
AI
AS
AS
AS
Is
open
space
protection
and
that
fell
out
of
the
top
10
year
and
that's
a
concern
for
me
because
it
is
not
aligned
with
what
our
residents
are
telling
us
so
that
that's
a
concern
I'm
raising
with
regard
to
Public
Safety,
the
current
warding
of
it
includes
saying
we
Advocate
and
support
a
potential
Family
Justice
Center
presence,
I
support
that
concept
very
much
in
part,
because
it
deals
with
domestic
violence.
Situations
and
I
have
no
reason
to
believe
that
domestic
violence
is
any
less
a
problem
in
our
community
than
it
is
anywhere
else.
AS
So
I
think
it's
it.
It
is
a
concept
that
I
support,
I'm,
not
averse
to
addressing
that
And
discussing
that
we
haven't
discussed
it
before
so
I
think
there
are
other
questions
besides
a
simple
referendum
of.
Do
we
want
to,
or
do
we
not
want
to
do
this
I'm
very
concerned
on
process
grounds
that
some
misrepresentations
were
made
about
this
today,
both
at
the
Board
of
Supervisors
meeting
in
Ventura
and
here
tonight,
I
want
to
read
something
that
was
said
to
the
Board
of
Supervisors.
AS
Today,
there
was
a
slide
presented
by
supervisor
guerrell
today
that
contained
this.
This
bullet
point
I'm
reading
it
verbatim
May,
2023
city
of
Thousand,
Oaks,
City
staff
and
council
members
indicate
strong
support
for
a
family
Justice
Center,
including
identifying
a
plan
to
commit
significant
funding.
After
prioritizing
the
effort
at
the
May
2023rd
council
meeting
and
June
20
and
June
6
20
23rd
two-year
budget
approval
meeting.
AS
Now,
unless
supervisor
guerrell
is
clairvoyant,
he
he
didn't
know
what
was
going
to
happen
tonight,
much
less
what
this
council
is
going
to
do
in
two
weeks,
so
again,
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
what's
being
done,
I
have
a
big
problem
with
the
way
it's
being
done.
It's
being
stated,
it
was
represented
to
the
Board
of
Supervisors
as
a
done
deal
when
we
haven't
even
had
this
discussion
yet
I
don't
have
a
problem
with
what
we're
doing.
AS
I
have
a
big
problem
with
the
process
or
the
way
that
we're
doing
it,
and
then
it
was
stated
tonight
by
Mr
Perryman
supervisor,
garels
chief
of
staff,
that
the
Board
of
Supervisors
voted
to
move
ahead
with
this
when,
in
fact
the
supervisor
vote
was
the
opposite,
it
was.
It
was
a
vote
not
to
move
ahead
with
this
at
this
time,
but
to
revisit
it
at
a
future.
AS
B
AI
Would
you
please
answer
this?
Is
language
reflected
by
the
five
of
you
so
you're
welcome
to
modify
that
language
to
add
or
remove
components
of
it?
And
you
know
that's
really
your
your
purview,
your
prerogative
to
do
that,
and
we
will.
We
will
augment
it
accordingly.
I
will
say
just
in
terms
of
I'm
not
going
to
sort
of
get
into
any
of
the
politics
of
it,
but
I
will
certainly
share
that.
AI
The
concept
of
a
family
Justice
Center
is
one
that
Roots
back
to
borderline,
and
so
that's
something
that
I've
I've
been
on
the
administrative
side
in
discussions
with
DA's
office
and
other
folks
with
for
some
time
now.
The
elements
that
are
reference
I'm
not
going
to
get
into
those,
certainly
get
into
those
components.
But
it's
been
something:
that's
a
presence.
That's
been
lacking
here
for
for
some
time.
AR
Key
word
up:
there
is
potential.
I
can
tell
you
at
the
supervisors
meeting
after
discussion.
It
was
decided
in
fact,
to
continue
pursuing
a
family
Justice
Center
in
the
East
County,
but
it
was
also
decided
that
they
wanted
to
get
the
Oxnard
Center
built
first,
which
is
perfectly
understandable
that
one's
already
been
started.
But
you
know
I
think
we
have
a
very
solid
principle
here,
and
you
know
it's
a
shame
that
politics
is
being
injected
into
this,
because
this
is
not
about
politics.
This
is
about
helping
people.
AR
This
is
what
the
government
does
best
and
I.
Don't
see
any
need
to
change
the
wording
in
there.
You
know
we're
looking.
This
is
a.
This
is
a
something
that
could
happen.
Maybe
within
the
next
year
and
I
would
consider
it
a
priority
and
I
I
disagree
with
you
David
on
your
statements,
because
I
think
that
you're
overlooking
the
benefit
that
this
could
give
and
you're
you're
you're
dredging
up
some
political
concerns.
That's
not
the
issue
here.
AR
AS
Thank
you,
council,
member
Adam.
It
is
precisely
because
I
think
this
is
an
important
issue
and
these
are
very
vulnerable
populations
that
need
to
be
served
that
I
do
not
want
to
politicize
it.
That
I
have
read
statements
of
fact
that
were
misrepresented
to
the
Board
of
Supervisors
into
verbatim
from
a
bullet
point.
A
PowerPoint
slide
that
supervisor
gorrell
presented.
I,
don't
want
to
hear
from
this
panel
or
from
the
politicians,
On
The
Board
of
Supervisors
I.
AS
AS
AR
AR
AS
D
And
I
appreciate
the
concern.
I
don't
share
the
concern
about
I'm,
not
really
a
process
kind
of
person,
I'm
looking
more
at
what
is
the?
What
is
the
outcome
for
the
city
of
Thousand
Oaks
I?
Don't
I,
don't
share
that
that
concern
that
you
rightly
put
forward
that
something
was
said.
That
was
not
quite
accurate,
I'm
looking
well,
that's
right,
I,
agree,
but
I'm
I'm
more
concerned
about
the
process,
not
the
process,
but
the
outcome.
D
D
D
Justice
Center
is
a
wonderful
thing,
but
I
wouldn't
want
to
see
that
to
be
the
only
thing
that
comes
to
the
East
County,
so
I
I
would
be
happy
to
to
adjust
that
language
a
little
bit
but
to
have
the
county
produce
more
services,
both
in
terms
of
homeless
services
that
we're
getting
because
of
the
activity
that
we've
been
able
to
do
with
the
county,
with
a
Continuum
of
Care,
but
also
there's
other
services.
That
could
come
our
way
and
I
would
like
to
see
the
county
focus
more
to
East
County
rather
than
West.
B
But
I'm
looking
to
include
both
the
Family
Justice
Center,
as
well
as
those
other
services
that
you're
requesting.
That's
that's
my
wording
that
I'm
trying
to
inject
there,
but
I
want
to
make
certain
that's
okay
with
you
in
that
regard,
so
again,
Advocate
and
support
a
potential
which
the
screen
just
disappeared
on
me,
so
Alex
whenever
you're
ready.
Thank
you
how.

Additional
services
to
the
city
of
Thousand,
Oaks
and
other
East
County
cities.
So
it's
a
general
it's
advocating
for
the
the
Justice
Center
to
come
to
Thousand
Oaks,
but
it's
also
to
continue
to
advocate
for
other
County
Services
to
Thousand
Oaks,
but
also
to
other
East
County
cities
with
the
base,
based
on
the
belief
that
there
are
more
services
being
provided
to
the
West
Side
than
there
are
to
the
east
side.
You're.
AU
AR
To
add
a
potential
Family
Justice
Center
in
Thousand
Oaks
in
it
and
a
presence
in
the
East
County
I
guess,
because
then
that
implies-
because
that's
absolutely
true
just
because
it
would
be
cited
in
Thousand
Oaks
doesn't
mean
it's
only
for
Thousand
Oaks,
it's
for
the
entire
East
County
area.
So,
as
I
mentioned,
Simi
Valley,
more
Park,
Oak
Park,
Newbury
Park
is
a
need.
AR
AS
AU
Basically,
keeping
the
language
verbatim
for
the
actual
Justice
Center
focus
on
Thousand
Oaks,
but
also
expanding
our
request
and
focus
of
expanding
other
County
Services
to
the
east
side,
whether
it's
in
the
city
of
Thousand,
Oaks
or
one
of
the
other
cities.
But
it's
it's
keeping
the
focus
for
the
the
Justice
Center
on
Thousand
Oaks,
at
least
our
advocacy
for
it.
B
AI
We're
also
one
of
the
few
cities
that
still
funds
a
community
prosecutor
and
so
that
Community
prosecutor
is
stationed
out
of
the
Thousand
Oaks
Station
with
regularity,
the
idea
being
we're
trying
to
draw
those
services
that
help
to
expedite
cases
to
move
you
know
to
have
people
be
able
to
get
marriage
licenses
locally
in
those
those
pieces.
So
we
also
have
a
presence
with
with
the
during
property
tax
season
right
they
have
taken
up
residence
in
East
County,
that's
been
something
that
Jamie

her
team
have
have
worked
on
as
well.

I
appreciate,

Thank
you.
Councilmember
Taylor
has
the
following
to
say:
I
I
appreciate
council
member
Angler's
suggestion
that
we
brought
in
the
term.
It
does
cover
an
important
distinction
here,
which
is
money.
The
Family
Justice
Center
in
Oxnard,
is
is
funded
by
four
four
million
dollars
from
the
city
of
Oxnard.
AS
AR
B
B
Please
so,
let's
do
again
another
straw
vote
of
one
two
and
three
being
included
in
the
top
ten
we're
going
to
move
left
to
right
this
time,
because
I
I
have
a
gentleman
here
who
may
want
to
discuss
a
little
bit
more
yes,
Mr
Newman,
Mr,
Englert,
yeah
I'm
fine
with
those
top
my
buddy
Mr
Adam,
good,
Mr,
Taylor,
yes
and
I'm
good
too
so
we're
including
those
top
three

into
the
top
ten.
Is
that
all
right
with
all
of
you?

B
Adam,
no,
it's
fine
and
Mr
Engler!
Yes,
Mr

Yes,
okay!
So
it
carries
five
zero.
Okay
on
that
one,
let's
move
to
the
next
789!

we've
got
them!
Oh

excellent,

I
have
a
request
of
Alex.
Would
you
please
move
it
to
the
next
two,
because
I
do
not
recall
what
those
were.
B
AS
B
AS
So
it
could
be
argued
that
that
three
of
these
two
that
are
on
this
slide
and
plus
District
elections
are
sort
of
automatic
because
they're
going
they
are
things
we're
going
to
be
dealing
with
anyway,
whether
they're
a
priority
or
not
so
I,
don't
again
I'm
arguing
to
get
that
open
space,
one
back
in
the
10.,
so
just
by
Dent
of
these
already
being
in
the
works
I'm,
not
sure
they
all
have
to
be.
There.
AS
AR
Yeah
I
agree:
David
I
think
the
district
situations
have
done
deal,
I
mean
it's
going
to
be
over
by
July.
So
what's
the
point
of
making
a
priority,
it
already
is
a
priority
and
it's
a
it's
a
short-term
situation.
So
I
don't
think
that
needs
to
be
in
the
top
ten
and
as
far
as
the
let's
see
here
explore
additional
open
space
acquisition
opportunities
advocate
for
wildlife,
Corridor
protection,
I
agree.
100
percent,
however,
I
think
that
that
fits
better
on
the
goal
section.
AR
If
you
look
at
goal
e
complete
the
Ring
of
space
around
the
city,
protect
and
preserve
ridgelines
natural
habitat
designated
open
space
areas
and
then
continue.
How
did
you
put
it?
Explore
additional
open
space
acquisition
opportunities
to
advocate
for
wildlife
quarters,
because
this
is
something
that
if
you
define
a
goal
as
a
long-term
set
of
principles,
it
seems
to
me
that
this
is
beyond
just
a
year.
AR
AS
Well
again,
on
on
that,
if
we're
talking
about
specific
things
that
we're
doing
I
I
added
the
words
Wildlife
Corridor
protection,
that
was
not
that
was
not
in
the,
and
that
is.
That
is
a
specific
thing
we
can
do.
It's
not
I
I
would
agree.
It
would
be
very
good
that
it
be
sustained
over
decades
needs
to
be,
but
but
it
is
a
specific
project
that
we
would
need
to
stand
up
and
for
that
reason,
I
think
it
does
belong
in
the
top
ten
of.
AS
AR
AI
AI
AS
AI
AS
B
AU
There's
Wildlife
corridors
that
have
been
documented
in
the
city
of
Thousand
Oaks.
So
if
there
is
a
project
that
is
pending
that
a
butts
or
is
in
a
wildlife
Corridor,
it's
always
analyzed
as
part
of
the
California
Environmental
Quality
act.
In
your
general
plan,
you
have
again,
as
we've
talked
about
the
different
types
of
elements
in
there,
you
have
your
open
space
element,
which
also
has
those
types
of
components.
So
it's
not
that
you're
adding
it
to
the
general
plan,
because
it
really
is
kind
of
already
it
already
resides
there.
It's
always
a
factor.
AR
AU
B
D
Though
I
think
that's
that's
a
good
place
to
put
it
a
good
call
by
our
city
manager
on
that
and
and
I
also
agree
that
District
elections,
that's
something
that
we
will
be
going
to
with
the
assistance
of
our
public
input
and
we'll
be
drawing
on
maps
we'll
be
done
with
that
by
mid-july.
So
there's
no
sense
in
making
that
a
a
year-long
goal
when
it's
going
to
be
done
in
the
first
two
weeks.
D
R
AU
And
again,
I
just
want
to
be
clear
here,
we're
not
adding
it
it's
already
in
there
it's
going
to
reside
in
it
and
I
misspoke.
It's
not
Kelvin.
Just
remember
it's
not
the
open
space
element.
It's
the
conservation
element.
It
already
resides
that
we're
not
going
to
be
we're
not
going
to
be
adding
anything
to
it,
because.

So
I
would
like
to
change
that
word
to
equality,
to
create
a
environment,
and
again
we
have
to
change
it's
the
wording
of
that
sentence,
but
to
take
Equitable
out
and
incorporate
equality,
and
that
would
require
a
little
bit
of
staff
to
play
with
the
wording
here,
because
to
just
substitute
equality
in
with
Equitable.
It
doesn't
read,
very
well,
create
an
environment.
B
AR
B
AR
AQ
The
only
thing
I
would
say
about
this
is
I
would
ultimately
like
us
to
get
to
a
point
where
we're
just
focused
on
getting
things
done,
and
you
know,
and
something
like
this
with
the
definition
of
a
word.
If
we're
talking
about
Equity
right
and
we
saw
the
video
that
went
viral
Bill,
what's
his
name
bill
Mayer
interviewing
Bernie
Sanders,
and
he
asked
him
what
the
definition
of
equity
was
and
Bernie
Sanders
didn't
know
either
it's
it's
a
it's
a
word
that
not
everybody
understands
or
knows.
AQ
The
true
definition
of
I
would
argue
that
if
that's
a
contentious
point
and
it's
going
to
create
divide,
let's
try
to
figure
out
a
better
word,
so
that
everybody's
clear
on
it
I
would
say
I'd
be
fine
with
that.
Ultimately,
what
I'd
want
to
get
at
is
what
can
we
communicate?
That
delivers
the
point,
and
how
can
we
remove
anything
that
creates
confusion.
AS
AS
I,
don't
really
see
a
problem
here
and
I
strongly
concur
with
council
member
Taylor's
assertion
that
this
is
not
about
getting
stuff
done,
which
is
what
people
put
us
here
to
do.
This
is
this
is
wordsmithing.
This
is
the
same
objection
council
member
Adam
had
previously
about
injecting
political
beliefs
into
it
and
further.
My
personal
belief
on
this
is
that
it's
a
misrepresentation
and
I
know
a
lot
of
people
who
are
in
The
Social
Justice
field
to
say
that
they're,
their
practice
they're
advocating
for
equal
outcomes
for
everyone.
AS
C
AS
B
D
Yeah
I
I
have
to
I
think
I'm
agreeing
with
my
colleagues.
Any
any
word
can
have
multiple
meanings
to
different
people,
I
I,
think
in
our
reading
and
writing
of
this
Clause
here.
Equitable
did
not
have
any
Marxist
overtones
to
it,
so
I
I,
don't
think
it's
I
mean
people.
Obviously
there
are
some
people
who
might
see
it
that
way,
but
from
our
purposes
it
doesn't
in
the
same
way
down
an
eye.
It
says
we
want
to
have
a
to
diversify
our
local
economy.
D
Someone
could
say:
do
we
want
to
diversify
in
a
racial
way
or
diversify
in
an
economic
way?
I
think
it's
self-explanatory
that
we
want
to
have
a
diverse
economy
here
in
in
our
community.
So
I,
don't
think
I,
you
know,
I,
don't
I,
don't
see
the
need
to
change
the
word
Equitable
because
I
think
for
me
it
means
that
we
want
to
have
an
open
and
and
treat
everybody
in
in
a
in
a
equal
manner.
That's
what
it
means
to
me.
B
I'd
like
to
see
a
come
down
to
Thousand
Oaks
does
not
discriminate
and
provides
equal
opportunities,
and
let
it
go
with
that
that,
given
the
comments
from
Council
I'll
leave,
it
go
because
it's
not
going
anywhere
so
leave
it
be
at
this
point,
council
members
any
other
in
goals
setting
for
2123
that
you'd
like
to
modify
change
or
anything
of
that
nature.
Anything
nope,
yeah
I'm,
going
to
stick
with
Equity,
because
there's
again
all
of
you
expressed
well,
we
got
the
financial
advisor
saying
we're
going
to
create
Equity.
Okay,.
AR
AQ
I'll,
pull
it
up
right
now.
This
is
I,
think
it's
a
confusing
one.
Equality
means
each
individual
or
group
of
people
is
given
the
same
resources.
Opportunities
Equity
recognizes
that
each
person
has
a
different
circumstance
and
allocates
the
exact
resources
and
opportunities
needed
to
reach
an
equal
outcome.
So
it's
the
equal
outcome
that
I
think
have
certain
people
look
at.
That
is
the
challenge
where
I
agree
with
Bob
is
you
know
we
live
in
a
time
where
words
we
don't
all
have
the
same
definition
of
each
word.
AQ
B
Thousand
Oaks
does
not
discriminate
and
offers
equal
opportunity
done.
Oh,
but
again
it's
it's
one
where
I'm
just
going
to
pull
it
back
and
End
discussion
here,
because
we'll
just
leave
a
as
it
is
yeah
unless
you
all
want
to
keep
talking
about
this
and
eating
a
dead
horse.
I
mean
it's
up
to
you.
So
that's
an
image
that
I'm
sure
horse
owners
would
love
to
see
anyways.
Let's
do
this
any
other,
any
other
changes
you
want
so
Mr
power.
What's
our
goals
are
set?
What's
the
next
step.
