Okay,
so
for
our
first
presentation,
I
am
very
pleased
this
evening
to
have
an
opportunity
to
talk
to
our
incredible
park
district
here
crpd.
Where
are
you
here?
You
are
all
of
you
right
here,
so
please
come
on
to
the
podium,
so
anyone
who
lives
in
thousand
oaks
knows
the
conejo
recreation
park
district
and
that
it
is
an
integral
part
of
our
city.
Their
parks
and
recreation
programs
help
establish
and
maintain
our
quality
of
life,
which
our
new
los
robles
interns
are
about
to
experience.
B
We
have
tremendous
appreciation
for
all
that
crpd
board
and
staff
do
to
allow
us
to
have
world-class
parks
and
recreation
programs
for
our
residents.
It
is
therefore
my
honor,
on
behalf
of
the
entire
city
council,
to
proclaim
july
as
parks
and
recreation
month,
and
here
here
we
go.
This
is
it
and
chair
duck
nichols.
E
Thank
you
so
much,
madam
mayor.
It's
a
privilege
to
be
here
this
evening,
and
yes,
I
mean
july
is
a
great
month
for
recognizing
parks
and
recreation
and
especially
after
we've
gone
through
a
rather
challenging
15
months,
where
parks
have
been
found
to
be
quite
essential
in
our
daily
life
and
what
we've
found
is
just
how
how
people
have
not
only
rallied
around
the
parks
but
realized
how
how
essential
just
meeting
together
is,
and
the
parks
were
a
place
to
do
that.
E
and
we've
been
doing
things
together
for
a
long
time.
In
fact,
I
was
looking
at
the
number
of
facilities
we
have
and
you
you'd
be
hard-pressed
to
find
a
facility
that
doesn't
say
something
like
funded
by
the
city
thousand
oaks
and
operated
by
the
canal
recreational
park
district,
because
the
the
city
has
been
so
integral
in
the
funding
of
these
recreational
facilities.
So
while
we
get
to
be
the
caretakers,
so
much
of
what
we've
done
has
been
a
partnership
with
the
city.
E
E
Also,
part
of
that
will
be
continuing
to
work
on
the
koska
olympia,
farm
site
and
and
kind
of
enhance
that
to
what
it
was
originally
designed
to
be.
Then
also
we
have
our
teen
center
alex
fiore,
teen
center
and
also
the
global
adult
community
center,
which
we've
had
partnerships
with
them
for
a
long
time.
But
recently
the
those
agreements
have
been
extended,
so
we'll
have
those
facilities
available
and
operating
for
many
years
to
come.
E
And
then
this
morning
we
had
a
ceremony
at
the
healing
garden,
which
was
also
a
recent
addition
to
our
facility
at
the
canal
creek
park
north
and
which
again,
the
city
provided
funding.
For
that.
So
thank
you
for
those
partnerships
and
then
recently.
I
just
learned
that
through
the
thousand
oaks
theater
director,
jonathan
cerrett,
that
he
has
created
a
way
for
the
young
artist
ensemble
to
return
back
to
the
bank
of
america
performing
arts
center,
which
is
going
to
be
a
great
opportunity.
E
In
fact,
I
brought
some
flyers
jim
jim
jim
frida
brought
those
along
should
I
all
have
those
for
the
team
summer
musical,
that's
going
to
be
an
exciting
performance
this
year
and
then
so,
as
I
think,
about
parks
and
recreation.
Yes,
it
is
parks
and
recreation,
but
our
partnerships
have
created
things
like
healing
places
for
celebrating
performing
and
no
favorite
to
our
mayor
and
also
social
and
essential
services.
E
We
partner
in
many
ways
to
make
our
community
what
it
is
today.
So
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
this
recognition.
Yes,
it
is
a
recognition
of
what
what
the
park
district
provides
to
our
community,
but
we
share
constituencies
and
we
share
a
real
desire
to
serve
them
jointly.
We
thank
you
for
that
partnership
and
thank
you
for
this
recognition.
We
will
certainly
appreciate
that.
So
thank
you
so
much.
I
just
also
want
to
mention.
E
I
would
have
to
say
that,
while
we
perhaps
get
to
stand
up
here
with
some
accolades,
it's
really
jim
and
his
staff
that
make
this
organization
work
and
particularly
the
staff.
This
last
15
months
has
been
great,
and
I
see
rochelle
hiding
up
in
the
attic
up
there.
Rachelle
kalas,
who
who
has
her
her
lace,
less
favorite
term
this
but
years
been
pivot.
F
E
E
B
Where
are
you
oh
there?
You
are
very
good.
Dr
tacker
is
the
director
of
the
gme
residence
program
at
los
robles,
regional
medical
center,
and
so
you're
here
tonight
to
present
the
very
first
interns
in
internal
medicine
tools
to
the
city
atlas
robles
hospital.
This
has
been
it's
been
a
program
many
years
in
the
making,
and
everybody
in
a
white
coat
here
represents
the
very
first
class
of
interns
at
los
robles
and
they're
here
tonight,
to
receive
a
certificate
of
recognition.
B
C
I
think
when
you
bring
graduate
medical
education
to
a
community
there's
many
benefits
for
the
community
and,
first
and
foremost,
probably
the
most
important,
is
you're
training
these
residents
and
hopefully
retaining
the
residents
within
our
community.
So
really
when
we
were
recruiting,
we
were
trying
to
pick
the
residents
that
had
ties
to
thousand
oaks
and
the
kanejo
valley,
and
I
think
a
majority
of
our
residents
do
that.
So,
as
the
population
of
physicians
is
aging,
there's
gonna
be
a
huge
shortage
of
positions,
and
hopefully
we
can
help
fill
that.
I
think.
C
In
addition,
you
know
the
opportunity
to
really
serve
in
the
community
is
gonna,
be
huge
for
them,
whether
it's
through
community
outreach,
mentoring,
young
children,
working
with
our
senior
citizens
or
reaching
those
you
know,
living
in
underserved
areas
within
ventura
county
all
are
great
opportunities
for
our
residents
to
really
get
involved
in
the
community
and
also
it
helps
recruit.
You
know
quality
physicians
to
the
hospital
as
well,
because
they
want
to
teach
and
they
want
to
be
a
part
of
the
program,
so
that
helps
build
the
overall
care
of
the
program.
C
C
D
Thank
you,
dr
tucker.
Thank
you,
madam
mayor,
thank
you
to
all
of
our
wonderful
constituents
here
this
evening
on
behalf
of
the
hospital.
I
just
want
to
thank
you
for
your
partnership
in
helping
us
bring
graduate
medical
education
here
to
los
robles,
as
dr
tacker
shared
I'm,
the
chief
medical
officer
at
los
robles
health
system.
So
I
oversee
all
things
related
to
quality
of
care
at
the
facility,
and
I
have
no
doubt
that
the
level
of
care
will
only
continue
to
improve
with
the
years
to
come
with
bringing
graduate
medical
education
here
to
our
community.
D
I
think
it
will
attract
a
lot
of
talented
physicians
who
want
to
practice
here
who
want
to
participate
in
clinical
research
in
new
procedures
and
bringing
new
technology
into
the
kanejo
valley.
So
I
think
that
adding
our
residency
program
will
undoubtedly
raise
the
level
of
care
and
just
bring
a
great
atmosphere
to
the
los
robles
regional
medical
center
and
an
academic
feel
to
our
medical
center.
That
has
been
a
long
time
coming.
So
once
again,
I'd
like
to
thank
you
for
your
partnership.

This
is
the
time
and
place
for
public
comments
for
those
wishing
to
address
the
city
council
regarding
items
on
the
agenda
or
on
a
subject
within
the
city's
jurisdiction.
All
remarks
should
be
addressed
to
the
council
as
a
whole.
Speakers
are
requested
to
state
their
name
and
community
of
residents
for
the
record
under
state
law.
Public
comment
matters
may
not
be
considered
by
the
council
unless
listed
on
the
agenda,
but
may
be
referred
to
the
city
manager
for
administrative
follow-up.
B
L
All
new
buildings
in
aguero
hills
will
soon
be
all
electric,
the
latest
city,
to
take
this
major
step
to
meet
climate
goals
and
protect
residents.
The
vote
reflects
the
change
to
the
city's
climate
action
and
adaptation
plan.
42
cities
across
california
have
already
adopted
bans
or
severe
restrictions
on
fossil
gas
connections
in
new
construction,
the
aguero
hills.
L
K
Good
evening,
madam
mayor
members
of
council,
it
it
gives
me
a
lot
of
pride
to
be
able
to
come
up
here
tonight
to
thank
you
for
the
leadership
that
you
have
in
investing
in
the
arts
in
our
community.
I
don't
get
a
lot
of
opportunity
to
come
before
you
to
thank
you
for
all
of
the
events
that
we
do
throughout
the
year,
because
in
normal
years
they
are
a
lot.
K
Our
pop-up
arts
and
music
festival
is
a
big
investment
in
our
community
for
arts
and
culture.
It
gives
people
a
safe
way
to
be
outside
of
their
houses
in
different
areas
around
the
canejo
to
experience
different
types
of
events
and
this
year
is
it
right
set
up
good
this
year
we
were
fortunate
enough
to
showcase
seven
different
events
in
seven
different
locations
all
around
the
community.
K
The
idea
is
that
we
take
events
outside
of
the
theaters
and
we
put
them
out
in
the
city
for
free
for
the
community
to
come
out
and
enjoy,
and
we
couldn't
do
it
without
our
partnership
with
kaneohe
recreation
and
park
district,
certainly
without
support
from
teo
arts
and
without
the
leadership
from
you
all
in
allowing
us
to
keep
that
event
moving
forward
on
a
yearly
basis.
So,
on
behalf
of
the
cultural
affairs
department
and
the
community,
I'd
like
to
offer
our
gratitude,
all
of
the
events
were
very
well
attended.
K

The
american
cancer
society
is
the
largest
private
source
of
cancer
research
funding
in
the
united
states.
The
funds
raised
through
relay
for
life
will
help
find
better
treatments
and
lead
scientists
closer
to
a
cure,
as
well
as
provide
many
educational
support
and
early
detection
programs
and
services
to
our
community
funds
from
relay
for
life
have
helped
the
american
cancer
society
provide
lodging
for
family
members
whose
loved
ones
are
undergoing
treatment
and
provide
almost
half
a
million
rides
to
and
from
treatment
facilities.
G
The
funds
have
also
helped
fulfill
almost
a
million
requests
for
cancer
information.
Thank
you
good
job.
All
right,
you
join
us
as
we
celebrate
survivors,
raise
funds
and
make
new
friends.
Together.
With
your
help,
we
can
make
a
difference.
Five,
four,
four,
three
two:
we
can
make
a
difference,
and
so
can
you
join
our
team
or
start
one
two
city
of
thousand
dollars?
We
really
need
you.
G
G
G
G
I,
but
I
think
that,
if,
if
we're
experiencing
this
and
we're
professionals
in
the
construction
business,
then
certainly
many
other
people
are
experiencing
it,
and
I
also
witnessed
many
contractors
who
were
in
line
once
the
building
department
opened
again
and
they
were
furious
because
they
were
not
able
to
obtain
permits
for
very
simple
things
and
their
livelihoods
were
were
at
risk.
Because
of
that
things
like
plastering
a
pool
putting
up
a
retaining
wall,
it
was
taking
them
three
to
five
months
to
get
permits
for
that.
G
B
N
D
D
Good
evening
everyone
I'm
kathy
carlson.
I
in
case
you
missed
my
letter
to
the
editor.
Five
days
ago,
I
wrote
about
the
borchard
parcel
and
a
few
of
the
sentences
were
left
out,
so
I'm
here
to
read
it
to
you
tonight
in
its
entirety.
There
has
been
much
too
much
drama
over
the
word
wetlands
in
describing
the
empty
borchard
parcel
next
to
the
101..
What
is
the
truth?
I
found
the
definition
in
a
2006
pamphlet
from
the
ventura
county
planning
commission
entitled
guide
to
ventura
county
wetlands.
D
D
Both
officers
of
those
agencies
informed
me
that
in
the
past
the
parcel
has
been
declared
each
by
each
as
a
wetlands.
Furthermore,
both
officers
stated
independently
to
me
that
it
is
indeed
a
colloquial,
temporary
and
seasonal
wetlands.
Today
they
also
emphasize
that
they
cannot
go
on
the
property
to
determine
the
soil,
samples
and
flora
samples
without
the
permission
of
the
owner.
They
both
also
told
me
that
the
public
should
know
that
such
a
status
does
not
prohibit
development.
D
However,
the
determination
by
state
agencies
is
required
by
the
city
of
thousand
oaks
in
order
to
fully
inform
a
potential
buyer
of
the
risks.
Such
scientific
reports
will
also
inform
the
interested
parties
whether
or
not
it
could
be
very,
very
costly
to
drain
this
area,
not
impossible.
Just
costly,
a
wetlands,
colloquial
or
legally
defined
is
not
suitable
for
low
income
housing,
because
the
developer
would
find
it
a
huge
challenge
to
recoup
the
cost
of
development
with
below
market
rate
rent.
This
is
simply
a
bad
business
plan
and
a
very
bad
return
on
investment
risk.
D
Just
ask
the
present
owners
of
the
soggy
white
elephant
property,
the
old
continuation
school
four
blocks
away
on
kelly
road.
Various
owners
and
investors
have
had
nightmares
for
darn
close
to
10
years,
trying
to
unload
it.
How
many
buyers
have
we
seen
backing
out
of
that
deal
because
of
the
same
water
problems?
In
addition
to
the
proximity
of
an
earthquake
fault,
any
three-year-old
can
tell
you
that
water
drains
down
in
a
bathtub
the
canelo
valley
is
in
air,
is
narrow
and
steep.
D
Ask
that
same
three-year-old,
whether
or
not
water
is
going
to
collect
downhill
at
the
bottom
of
a
valley.
Please
back
off
on
attacking
your
neighbors
over
this
definition
issue.
It
is
both
reckless
and
careless
of
politicians
and
social
media
influencers
on
facebook
to
scream
out
their
cries
that
other
parties
are
idiots
while
insisting
that
this
land
is
was
never
was
can't
be,
or
always
has
been.
A
wetlands
nature
is
changeable,
so
is
the
status
of
a
legally
declared
or
a
colloquially
named
wetlands.
N
You,
madam
mayor,
sean
moradian
honorable
city,
council
members,
I
am
a
native
to
thousand
oaks
and
a
lifelong
resident,
and
I'm
here
before
you
to
bring
the
continuation
of
the
general
plan
and
something
that
we
discovered
through
public
records
to
your
attention
that
are
deeply
concerning
to
my
family
and
I
and
I
believe,
the
public
and
this
council
deserves
to
know
the
truth
and
the
whole
truth
and
I'd
like
to
start
out
with
our
mission
statement.
City
of
thousand
oaks
prides
itself
on
extraordinary
service
to
the
citizens
we
serve
is
our
purpose.
N
Okay,
the
exhibits
in
front
of
you
are
going
to
outline
everything
I'm
going
to
describe
in
a
chronology
of
what
took
place,
leading
up
to
the
may
18th
2021
letter
from
the
santa
monica
mountains
conservancy
to
the
city
of
thousand
oaks.
During
the
may
18
city
council
meeting
in
the
subsequent
may
25th
city
council
meeting
one
of
the
council
members
brought
this
letter
up
and
the
irregularities
around
the
county
supervisor,
attempting
to
inflict
their
personal
opinions
into

to

laws.
N
Ultimately,
the
property
and
the
general
plan
were
moved
forward.
Subsequently,
on
june,
8th,
a
city
council
member
took
it
upon
themselves
to
reprimand
that
other
council
member
for
their
comments
and
their
attacks
on
a
sitting
supervisor,
and
I
like
to
quote
just
because
it's
relevant
here.
We
do
not
use
the
dyes
to
attack
elected
officials
from
our
partner
agencies.
N
N
N
N
N
One
more
time
you
have
a
deputy
director
of
a
of
a
state
agency,
saying
to
a
county
supervisor
that
a
private
citizen
needs
to
suffer
more
in
order
to
buy
their
property
it
below
fair
market
value.
It
gets
worse,
I
hope
at
all
level
the
county
holds
firm,
meaning
supervisor

block
this
fine,
if
tio
can
benefit
from
ghost

so
long
as
they
are
never

undermining
and
sabotaging
our
city's
general
plan.
N
B
B
N
Have
just
one
more
minute!
Thank
you
so
much
one
more
minute.
Very!
Thank
you.
Our
county
supervisor
does
not
condemn
these
words.
She
wholeheartedly
embraces
them
and
says
great.
You
should
write
the
letter
to
the
city
of
thousand
oaks
on
the
general
plan,
they're
going
to
be
making
a
decision
on
may
18th
and
on
may
25th
and
that's
exactly
what
they
did
and
then
remember.
She's
posted
on
facebook
on
may
16th
that
we
have
a
willing
seller
before
any
other
body
was
able
to
see
a
draft
of
this
letter.
N
She
received
the
draft
that
morning
asking
who
and
what
in
what
manner
should
we
steer
it
on
the
17th
she
replied
and
gave
precise
instructions.
Pursuant
to
my
public's
records
requests
act.
Nobody
from
the
conservancy
has
any
records
whatsoever
of
authorizing
this
letter.
Nobody
from
the
board
of
supervisors
has
any
knowledge.
So
what
I'm
presenting
before
this
council
and
I'm
urging
action
is
that
you
have
a
county
supervisor,
making
a
backroom
deal
with
a
state
agency
to
inflict
suffering
on
one
of
your
citizens
to
steal
their
family
land.
N
N
Further,
the
city
appoints
a
representative
to
the
santa
monica
mountain
conservancy
board
to
raise
the
same
issue
and
ask
that
board
to
strongly
condemn
backdoor
deals
struck
between
supervisor
parks,
deputy
director
edelman
without
any
board
notice,
authorization
resolution
or
public
disclosure.
This
is
not
what
being
a
resident
of
thousand
oaks
should
feel
like.
Thank
you.
B
B
P
It
is
interesting
to
note
that
our
governor
may
own
a
winery
here
are
examples
of
what
is
being
done
now
to
combat
the
state's
edict
and
the
results
of
unplanned
growth.
We
are
paying
high
taxes
and
need
to
protect
thousand
oaks.
We
need
to
proceed
slowly
and
cautiously,
but
not
ignore
what
residents
expect
of
our
city
leaders.
There
is
always
a
need
to
alter
our
city
plan.
P
We
need
to
actively
fight
what
the

is
demanding
us
to
do
by
filling

discussing
this

F
Yes,
school
enrollment
is
down,
however,
not
necessary
due
to
young
families,
not
finding

here,
but
also
due
to
opting
for
private

as
our
conflicts

and
poor

F
I
The
speaker
had
concerns
about
community
development,
and
we
are
aware
of
that
issue.
I
saw
that
community
development
director
calvin
parker
made
connection
with
her
issue
regarding
accessory

and
some
setbacks
there.
So
staff
is
working
on
that
and
kelvin
will
be
in
touch
with
her
again
tomorrow.
I
understand
and
then
finally
the
final
speakers
that
mentioned
the
lawsuits,
the
lawsuit
that
was
mentioned
is
actually
filed
by
orange
county
cog,
not
individual
cities.
I
This
skag
region
last
cycle
went
into
orange
county,
so
the
speaker
mentioned
anaheim
just
to
give
you
a
flavor
of
the
number
for
anaheim
we're
talking
about

the
arena

as
opposed

that
the
city

received
so
ventura

thanks
to
some
strong
lobbying
efforts
and
otherwise
was-
was
certainly
the
the
net
beneficiary
of
this
last
cycle
in
terms
of
reductions.
So
certainly
those
cities
in
orange

they
are
facing
some
significant
numbers-
can
understand
the
legal
challenges
there.

is

thousand

being
one
of
them
through

Numbers
questions
always
been
raised
as
to
whether
the
accuracy
of
those

numbers
are
are
correct
and
regardless
of
whether
it's
a

or
a

bringing
this

Q
Q
Project
conception
started
in
2017,
a
scope
was
developed
in
2018
and
council
awarded
the
project
to
the
consulting
firm
gannett
fleming
in
2019.
city
plant
and
engineering
staff
worked
very
collaboratively
with
the
consulting
team
and
provided
valuable
input.
Input
input
to
the
project
which
was
completed
and
posted
in
2021.
Q
The
canyon
is
one
of
the
most
critical
pieces
of
public
works
infrastructure
that
nearly
everyone
in
thousand
oaks
relies
on
every
day.
The
plant
currently
treats
eight
million
gallons
per
day
of
wastewater
from
thousand
oaks
collected
from
over
400
miles
of
pipelines.
City-Wide
the
value
of
the
plant
place
based
on
the
2017
asset
management
plan
and
adjusted
for
inflation,
is
estimated
at
150
million
in
today's
dollars,
with
some
original
plant
infrastructure
dating
back
to
the
1960s
and
the
most
recent
facilities
now
close
to
20
years.
Q
Q
Since
then,
flows
have
reduced
back
to
the
early
1990s
rates
and
currently
average
between
8
and
9
million
gallons
per
day.
This
recent
reduction
in
flow
rates
is
attributable
in
part
to
water
conservation
efforts
from
drought
conditions,
as
well
as
sewer
line
rehabilitation
efforts
over
the
years,
reducing
inflow
and
infiltration
from
storm
water
and
groundwater.
Finding
its
way
into
the
sewer
system.
Q
Next
process,
modeling
software
was
utilized
to
duplicate
the
operation
of
the
facility
in
a
virtual
environment.
Different
parameters
were
tested
to
identify
areas
for
optimization
strategies
by
and
large,
due
to
a
dedicated,
attentive
and
highly
qualified
treatment
plant
staff.
The
facility
was
found
to
be
operating
very
efficiently
and
well
within
design
criteria
and
regulatory
parameters,
as
anticipated,
some
opportunities
for
optimization
were
identified
and
recommendations
were
provided.
Q
The
solar
array
is
capable
of
producing
roughly
half
of
the
energy
demands
of
the
plant
during
peak
sun
hours,
the
cogen
system,
utilizes
gas,
produced
from
the
treatment
process
to
fuel
an
engine
and
generator
in
order
to
produce
electricity
for
the
plant.
It
also
produces
the
heat
needed
as
part
of
the
solids
treatment
process.
Hence
the
term
cogeneration
for
combined
heat
and
power.
Q
Q
Q
Also
recommended
was
a
battery
backup
system
for
the
treatment
plant.
This
will
enable
greater
efficiency
for
renewable
energy
production,
as
well
as
use
of
renewable
energy
during
edison
power,
outages
and
less
dependence
on
traditional
diesel
power.
Generator
backup
terms
for
this
include
islanding
and
microgrids.
Q
Q
Q
Q
This
continues
the
beneficial
use
of
water
in
the
region,
specifically
in
the
camarillo
and
oxnard
plain.
The
total
amount
of
water
being
reused
is
approximately
8
000
acre
feet
per
year.
Conservation
credits
are
also
accumulated
by
both
camarosa
and
the
city
for
offsetting.
The
need
to
extract
groundwater
from
fox
canyon,
groundwater
management
agency,
alternative
number
two
is
modify.
The
existing
cost
structure
with
camarosa
should
the
need
arise
or
an
opportunity
present
itself
requiring
a
change
to
the
existing
contract.
Q
Consider
the
opportunity
to
simultaneously
change
the
pricing
structure.
Currently,
the
cost
of
water
is
adjusted
each
year
based
on
changes
to
consumer
price
index.
Alternative
number
two
ties:
the
annual
change
in
cost
of
the
recycled
water
to
increase
in
proportion
to
the
annual
increases
in
the
cost
of
imported
domestic
water
instead
of
cpi.
Q
Alternatives,
3,
4
and
5
involve
indirect
potable
reuse
within
the
local
region.
Indirect
potable
reuse
or
ipr
is
the
addition
of
recycled
water
to
augment
groundwater
or
surface
water
with
the
intended
purpose
of
supplementing
a
water
supply
to
a
public
water
system.
Ipr
has
been
going
on
for
decades
in
certain
areas
of
california
via
groundwater
augmentation.
Q
However,
surface
water,
augmentation
is
relatively
recent,
with
regulations
being
adopted
in
california
just
in
the
last
year
or
so.
Ipr
involves
the
addition
of
reverse
osmosis
facility
onto
the
back
end
of
a
wastewater
treatment
process,
otherwise
called
an
advanced
water
purification
facility
or
sometimes
called
advanced
water
treatment
plant
for
hill
canyon.
This
would
mean
adding
reverse
osmosis
to
the
existing
process.
Q
Q
Three
areas
were
looked
at
for
potential
ipr.
The
first
alternative
number
three
was
santa
rosa
valley
via
a
potential
connection
to
camarosa
water
district
at
the
intersection
of
santa
rosa
road
and
hill
canyon.
Access
road
from
that
point,
camarosa
would
take
the
purified
water
and
inject
it
into
the
groundwater
basin
through
deep,
well
injection
or
spreading
basins.
Q
Q
The
third
indirect
potable
reuse
option
considered
alternative
number.
Five
is
las
vegas
reservoir,
los
virginis
municipal
water,
district
and
triunfo
sanitation
district
together
through
their
joint
powers.
Agreement
are
currently
embarking
on
a
pure
water
project
which
aims
to
boost
local
supplies
of
treated
and
recycled
water.
In
the
eastern
end
of
the
kaneho
valley,
this
project
may
be
able
to
generate
up
to
5
000
acre
feet
per
year
of
new
local
and
sustainable
potable
water
supply
for
the
region
and
is
anticipated
to
begin
operation
by
the
year.
Q
Q
Q
Q
One
major
advantage
to
this
ipr
alternative
is
that
an
advanced
treatment
plant
would
not
be
needed
at
hill
canyon.
The
city
would
transport
its
existing
level
of
treated
water
through
a
new
recycled
water
pipeline
to
the
los
virginis
advanced
treatment
plant
from
there.
It
would
go
to
los
virginis
reservoir,
be
treated
again
to
drinking
water
standards
and
return
to
the
city
city
via
an
interconnection
with
los
virginis
or
be
wielded
through
callegas
municipal
water
district.

Q
The
output
of

included
a
draft
10-year

program.
17
projects
had
already
been
identified
by
city
staff
in
the
previous
2019-2021
capital

budget.
The
master
plan
validated
these
projects
and
adjusted
budgetary
estimates
timelines
and
project
scopes
to
maximize
efficiency
of
these
projects,
with
related
recommendations
from
the
study,
34
new
projects
were
identified
directly,
addressing
the
recommendations
from
this
study
of
those
two
projects
were
identified
for
further

and
potential
implementation,
but
were
not

Q
At

previously

projects
were
integrated
with
newly

projects
ranked
for
priority
and
spread
out
over

timeline
of
10
years,
keeping
in

Q
Q
B
J
First,
a
question
and
then
a
statement:
the
federal
government
is
coming
forth
with
new
budgets
that
earmark
specifically
infrastructure
development
and
water.
Being
one
of
them
is
this
figured
into
your
net
present
value,
or
is
that
just
an
added
bonus
if
we
do
get
grants
from
the
federal
government?
In
this
regard,.
N
J
I
am
excited
to
hear
that,
because
water
has
become
more
and
more
scarce
and
as
we
have
demands
of
increased
housing
in
all
the
cities
throughout
california,
waters
can
become
more
and
more
of
a
commodity
and
anything
anything
we
can
do
as
a
city
to
become
less
dependent
on
imported
water.
From
los
angeles.
I
am
very
much
in
favor
of
simply
because,
if
you
look
20
30
years
in
the
future,
what
we
do
now
will
make
a
tremendous
impact
on
our
sustainability
as
a
city
in
the
future.
J
As
a
professor
at
ventura
college
in
the
water
science
department,
where
I
train
the
good
women
and
men
that
go
and
work
in
your
water
plants
throughout
the
southern
california
area,
I
can
tell
the
public
here
that
there's
a
tremendous
cooperation
among
the
water
agencies
in
this
region
and
in
this
state,
and
they
all
try
to
work
cooperatively
to
make
certain
that
water
is
shared
where
it
needs
to
go
and
work
quite
cooperatively,
which
I'd
like
to
acknowledge
right
now.
I
believe
it's
seventeen
hundred
dollars
per
acre
foot
wholesale
for
water.
Is
that
correct?
A
J
So
it
is
definitely
going
up,
regardless
of
inflation.
It's
still
going
to
go
up
regardless,
okay,
so
again,
as
water
is
becoming
more
and
more
scarce.
Housing
demand
goes
up.
Increased
water
demand
here
in
the
area
and
what
I'm
hearing
you
propose
is
one
option
as
we
take
the
treatment
treated
water
from
the
wastewater
plant.
Bring
it
back
around
as
one
model
is
to
send
it
to
los
virginis
water
district,
where
they
have
a
reverse
osmosis
plant
that
could
treat
it
to
an
ultra
pure
level
and
then
use
it
in
any
way.
J
Shape
or
form
is
this
water
that
we
send
to
las
vegas
going
to
help
reduce
our
water
rates,
because,
instead
of
us
putting
it
out
in
nature
to
feed
bambi,
tweety
bird
and
thumper
we're
now
putting
it
back
into
our
system
here,
to
reduce
our
demand
from
los
angeles
and
reduce
our
water
rates?
Is
that
a
possibility.
A
Yes,
that's
a
possibility.
The
net
present
value
calculations
are
kind
of
related
to
the
same
issue.
So
whatever
alternative
is
pursued,
it
depends
if
it's
a
revenue,
positive
or
neutral
alternative
and
as
compared
to
the
current
situation,
so
that
would
then
eventually
be
factored
into
our
subsequent
rate
studies
that
would
be
performed
for
that.
J
I'm
very
excited
about
this.
I
think
it's
timely,
it's
what
other
cities
are
doing
around
the
country
and
we
can
actually
become
less
dependent
on
imported
water.
More
dependent
on
us
reduce
our
water
rates
as
a
possibility
and
anticipate
for
water
becoming
more
and
more
scarce,
leaving
more
water
for
the
central
valley
to
for
our
farmers
to
grow
their
crops.
J
A
So
that
would
be
a
separate
venture.
However,
there's
interrelation,
because
it's
very
likely
that
if
we're
going
to
capture
storm
water,
it
would
likely
wind
up
having
to
go
through
the
wastewater
treatment
plant
to
be
treated
and
processed
in
some
fashion.
So
there
is
some
overlap
that
wasn't
exhaustively
explored
in
this
particular
study.
It
was
more
focused
on
the
operations
of
the
plant
itself,
as
opposed
to
the
storm
drain
collection
system
in
town,
but
that
is
certainly
another
area
that
we're
looking
to
pursue.
J
A
Yeah,
as
we
depicted
earlier
on
one
of
the
slides,
there
are
some
several
neighboring
agencies
and
water
purveyors
that
we're
working
with.
However,
we
are
not
working
outside
of
our
city
limits
with
other
cities,
because
we
are
we're
focusing
more
on
the
purveyors
and
the
wholesalers
that
are
in
thousand
oaks
proper.
J
O
R
O
O
I
mean
the
reason
I
bring
this
up
is
because
we're
often
asked
will
our
infrastructure
be
able
to
support
any
kind
of
moderate
growth
we
might
have
in
the
next
20
years
and
when
it
comes
to
hill
canyon
treatment
plant,
we
can
easily
support
any
type
of
moderate
growth.
We've
had
and
still
be
under
capacity
in
the
next
20
years.
Is
that
correct?
Q
Q
O
A
I
A
A
O
O
I
really
appreciate
the
the
regional
approach
that
we're
doing
that
we're
undertaking
here,
because
we
need
to
be
less
reliant
on
imported
water
than
we
are,
and
I
think,
there's
a
lot
of
promise
with
the
last
version
of
this
municipal
water
district
with
their
treatment
plant
where
we
could
recycle
our
water
through
their
plant
and
then
back
to
us
again
sounds
very
cost
efficient
and
and,
as
you
say,
a
positive
net
present
value.
So
look
forward
to
that
developing.
Thank
you.
C
Thank
you,
madam
mayor,
and
thank
you
for
the
presentation
and
also
the
hard
work
on
the
the
the
plan.
We
hadn't
had
a
plan
in
place
for
a
long
time,
and
I
appreciate
you
taking
the
effort
and
making
that
happen.
So
I
did
read
through
the
plan
yesterday
and
today
I
guess
I
I
learned
a
lot
about
solid
waste
or
water
water,
waste
management
that
perhaps
I
didn't
really
want
to
know
about,
but
I
appreciate
the
hard
work
you
guys
are
doing.
C
A
Yeah,
so
I
believe
we
touched
on
that
briefly
a
few
minutes
ago.
The
plan,
as
it
was
initiated
in
2019,
didn't
have
the
advantage
of
capturing
the
full
final
results
of
the
general
plan,
update,
which
is
still
you
know
in
process.
So,
but
even
with
that
said,
given
that
the
the
plant
is
currently
operating
at
8
million
gallons
a
day
and
knowing
that
the
capacity
is
14,
yeah
they'll
provide
sufficient
capacity
for
that
projected
growth.
C
Okay,
I
noticed
I
noticed
in
the
in
the
the
plan,
there's
quite
a
bit
of
discussion
on
getting
storm
water.
Explain
a
little
bit
more
about
that.
To
me.
Is
that
storm
water,
that
flows
through
the
storm
channels
or
is
it
storm
water
that
falls
on
the
plant
that
because
of
the
nature
of
the
business
down
there,
we
have
to
make
sure
that
it's
not
contaminated.
A
Yeah,
so
right
now,
there's
both
of
those
and
the
idea.
Currently,
the
the
storm
drain
system
in
town
is
completely
separated
from
the
wastewater
collection
system
and
several
towns
back
east
they're
combined
systems,
but
in
you
know
out
here,
they're
totally
separate,
however,
that
storm
drain
system
has
a
resource
in
it
or
there's,
there's
water
in
there.
That
could
be
potentially
reused.
C
A
Storm
water
capture
programs
are
typically
focused
around
dry
weather
flow
and
not
around
trying
to
capture
the
full
rain
event
when
they
occur,
because
it
simply
will
overwhelm-
and
you
know
john
will
have
more
details,
but
that
is
not
something
that
the
plant
would
be
able
to
be
sized
to
capture
the
actual.
You
know
major
storm
events.
It
would
be
more
more
geared
toward
the
the
the
daily
flow
that
occurs
and
then
the
creeks
and
gutters.
A
So
yeah
the
watershed
protection
district
does
have
jurisdiction
over
some
of
the
larger
storm
drains
in
town,
but
we
would
likely
focus
the
effort
on
our
own
storm
drain
system,
which
is
maybe
not
the
large.
You
know
12
foot
wide
channels,
but
the
you
know
the
the
smaller
ones.
Although
we
have
several
that
are
in
the
range
of
you
know,
eight
foot,
diameter
pipes
and
so
forth.
So
they're
we
would
focus
it
more
on
our
own
elements,
but
the
entire
concept
that
would
be
evaluated
would
consider
all
possible
alternatives.
C
Well,
I
was,
I
was
very
happy
to
see
just
the
whole
tone
of
the
document
was
most
people
look
at
our
wastewater
treatment
plant
as
a
service
or
as
a
necessary
evil,
so
to
speak.
There
are
some
viable
products
that
are
produced
there,
and
I
appreciate
the
tone
of
your
document
that
recognize
that
there
are.
There
are
products
there
that
are
saleable
and
that
are
worth
recovering.
J
Can
I
ask
one
final
follow-up?
I'm
sorry,
I
had
a
request
in
there.
Oh
shut
off.
Just
one
point
I
want
to
clarify.
Mr
adam
has
a
very
good
example
of
the
costs,
but
I
want
to
bring
it
down
to
different
terms
here
that
right
now
camarosa
we
revenue
wise
they're,
getting
back
about
125
dollars
per
acre
foot.
Is
that
a
is
that
correct.
J
Yeah,
it's
we're
getting
one
125
back,
breaker
foot
from
them
for
the
use
of
the
water,
yet
it's
dollars
wholesale
and
that
difference
to
mr
adam's
atom
point
is
the
difference
of
not
net
neutral.
We're
actually
losing
money
on
that
for
what
we
could
be
making
if
we
send
it
over
to
les
virgins
to
have
them,
do
their
reverse,
osmosis
and
reuse.
It
again
correct.
A
Yes,
there
are
obviously
there's
capital
infrastructure
costs
associated
with
many
of
these
alternatives
to
get
the
water
to
those
locations
or
participate
in
the
costs
of
the
eventual
ro
treatment.
The
reverse
osmosis
treatment
that
would
be
necessary
to
make
the
water
potable.
So
currently,
the
water
is
not
potable,
so
we
can't
quite
compare
the
those
two
numbers:
the
wholesale
cost
of
potable
water
versus
the
the
cost
that
we're
receiving
for
the
the
discharge
from
the
treatment
plant.
J
M
Good
evening,
honorable
mayor
and
council
members,
my
name
is
kat
and
I'm
a
resident
of
thousand
oaks
and
I'd
like
to
talk
about
water
for
people
tonight.
However,
as
a
natural
resource
professional,
I'm
very
much
in
support
of
flows
for
nature,
aka,
bambi
and
tweety
bird
as
all
beneficial
users
should
not
be
denied
water
resources.
M
The
future
of
water
resource
availability
for
all
in
southern
california
is
at
risk
due
to
our
changing
climate.
Given
this
fact,
we
need
to
make
strategic
investments
in
our
infrastructure
to
ensure
continued
viability
of
thousand
oaks.
According
to
the
projected
changes
for
ventura
county
climate
models
initiated
by
the
watershed
coalition,
ventura
county
and
the
desert
research
institute,
the
climate
models
for
vc
consistently
project
increases
in
the
annual
number
of
dry
days,
with
little
to
no
change
in
overall
precip.
M
M
M
In
addition,
groundwater
recharge
recharge
is
projected
to
decrease
in
the
southwest
in
a
warming
climate
and
may
in
part,
be
related
to
increasing
rainfall,
intensity,
precipitation,
intensification
at
the
seasonal
to
sub-daily
time
scales
may
have
implications
for
the
methods
by
which
groundwater
recharges
or
how
surface
water
is
conveyed,
captured
and
stored.
For
us
all.
M
All
these
factors
result
in
more
dry
days,
more
wildfires,
more
flashy
flows,
more
runoff,
less
infiltration
and
less
groundwater
recharge.
In
addition,
according
to
dwr,
climate
change
is
predicted
to
significantly
decrease
snowpack
from
the
sierra
nevadas
by
48
to
65
percent
due
to
warmer
temperatures.
This
will
melt
the
sierra
nevada
snow
faster
and
earlier,
making
it
more
difficult
for
california
to
store
and
use
throughout
the
dry
season.
This
will
directly
and
negatively
impact
thousand
oaks
ability
to
draw
water
supply
from
the
state
water
project.
M
The
multiplying
uncertainties
we're
facing
due
to
climate
change
requires
more
diversified
and
integrated
water,
resource
acquisition
and
distribution.
The
logical
conclusion
of
all
these
models
is
that
more
storm
water
needs
to
be
captured
and
retained
on
site,
as
well
as
repurposed
reused,
to
be
prepared
for
the
uridification
and
water
scarcity
that
we're
going
to
face.
M
The
kaneho
climate
coalition
urges
the
count
city
council
to
consider
the
merit
of
the
six
potential
future
alternatives
waiting
higher
for
reduced
resilience
on
imported
water.
This
will
better
align
with
the
city's
goal
number
one,
which
is
to
maximize
the
beneficial
reuse
of
hctp
at
fluent
to
support
citywide
efforts
on
reducing
reliance
on
imported
water
by
maximizing
beneficial
reuse
of
this
effluent.
We
also
believe
that
the
diverting
the
flows
from
the
30-year
events
to
canajo
creek
is
potentially
a
wasted
opportunity
for
increased
water
resilience.
M
A
That
was
one
of
the
goals
that
the
master
plan
was
developed
around
and
that
this
you
know,
speaks
to
our
pursuit
and
exploration
of
some
of
these
alternatives,
including
alternatives,
five
and
six,
although
they
may
not
have
as
high
of
a
net
present
value
as
the
current
model
that
we're
developing
with
the
sale
of
the
discharge
to
camarosa,
they
are
still
worth
being
explored
because
they
may
be
able
to
develop
an
additional
new
water
supply
for
the
canal
valley.
So
we
are
definitely
pursuing
those
alternatives.
O
Well,
I
could
make
a
motion.
I
just
thought
the
previous
speaker
would
like
to
know
as
far
as
the
plant
itself
and
greenhouse
gases
between-
and
I
think
I'm
correct
in
saying
this-
between
the
solar
array
that
we
have
out
there,
which
is
incredible,
and
the
cogeneration
from
the
biogas
this
plant
is
virtually
self-sufficient.
Is
it
not.
Q
O
I
I
B
I
I
Many
cities
do
not.
I
know
that
because
I
get
calls
from
other
city
managers
asking
all
the
time
if
they
can
borrow
or
leverage
various
work
products
that
our
legislative
affairs
manager
has
put
together
in
relationships
that
she
has
built.
So
this
is
our
annual
legislative
platform.
It's
an
important
document,
it's
a
document
that
doesn't
exist
in
many
cities,
but
it's
one
that
really
helps
to
keep
the
council
and
the
community
focused
on
those
opportunities
that
we
have
to
lend
advocacy
to
important
aspects
for
council's
priorities
and
goals
and
meena
does
a
great
job.
S
S
S
In
addition
to
sending
letters
of
advocacy,
staff
coordinates
meetings
with
district
offices
and
the
state
capitol
to
discuss
legislative
positions
and
even
testify
at
hearings
during
the
current
legislative
cycle.
The
mayor
served
as
lead
testimony
at
the
senate
judiciary
committee
and
this
week
she'll
testify
at
the
assembly,
communications
and
conveyance
committee
and
senate
governance
and
finance
committee.
S
S
S
S
S
Looking
at
the
next
legislative
cycle,
the
city
will
have
a
number
of
opportunities
ahead
with
the
passage
of
a
one
trillion:
dollar
federal
infrastructure
project,
the
implementation
of
a
state,
trailer
bill
or
sb
129,
which
directs
1
billion
in
funding
for
local
governments
to
address
homelessness,
1
billion
and
fire
wildfire
prevention,
3.7
and
climate
change
and
resiliency
1.3
billion
and
water
and
wastewater
projects
and
3.75
billion,
and
broadband
infrastructure
and
access
congress
is
working
on
a
surface
transportation.
Reauthorization
there
are
new
opportunities
for
additional
congressional
directed
spending.
S
S
Finally,
as
you
recall,
after
each
census,
the
state
convenes
a
redistricting
commission
to
create
new
state
and
federal
political
boundaries.
The
city
has
begun,
testifying
at
the
california
redistricting
commission
hearings
to
protect
our
boundaries
and,
more
importantly,
to
keep
our
city
whole
new
boundaries
will
be
introduced
and
adopted
in
2022.
S
As
you
examine
the
legislative
platform,
you
will
find
additions
on
based
on
council's
priorities
goals,
as
well
as
state
and
national
trends
with
the
nation
in
pandemic
recovery.
The
city
will
continue
to
advocate
for
funding
and
resources
with
greater
federal
and
state
broadband
funding.
The
city
will
seek
opportunities
to
address
the
digital
divide
at
our
libraries.
S
As
you
see
new
trends
in
mobility,
you
see
on
many
streets
throughout
california,
rentable,
electric
bikes
and
scooters.
The
city
will
continue
to
advocate
to
protect
our
rights
of
way
with
state
funding
opportunities.
The
city
will
seek
resources,
support
support,
homeless
programs
and
services,
as
housing
bills
continue
to
challenge
local
control.
The
city
will
advocate
against
the
elimination
of
single-family
zones,
public
hearings
and
planning
standards
as
e-commerce
and
online
shopping
have
become
the
norm.
The
city
will
fight
for
tax
equity
as
new
markets
begin
to
develop
for
help
hemp
cultivation
and
manufacturing.
S
B
R
Are
you
going
to
be
able
to
deliver
with
local
control,
something
better
for
the
existing
residents
and
the
prospective
residents,
the
people
that
grew
up
in
thousand
oaks
and
would
like
to
stay
here?
The
people
that
had
to
go
away
and
would
like
to
come
back
are
you
going
to
be
able
to
deliver
a
community
that
is
better
than
what
the
state
is
demanding
of
you.
R
B
S
Well,
I
appreciate
mr
piper's
comments.
The
idea
of
local
control
is
simply
that
we
have
elected
officials.
The
residents
here
have
elected
a
city
council
that
city
council
is
in
charge
of
land
use
planning.
It
is
not
the
state
to
dictate
how
we
develop
our
housing
in
this
community
and,
unfortunately
fighting
local
control.
Many
years
ago,
the
state
took
away
our
very
opportunity
to
develop
affordable
housing
by
taking
away
and
eliminating
redevelopment
agencies.
S
Cities
are
not
home.
Builders.
I'm
going
to
repeat
that
statement
again,
because
I've
always
come
into
that
issue.
When
I'm
at
state
hearings,
we
are
not
home
builders,
we
can
create
the
zoning
for
it.
It
is
up
to
developers
to
come
to
our
city
and
say
we
would
like
to
develop
housing.
Unfortunately,
we
cannot
mandate
the
type
of
housing
they
build.
S
They
usually
like
to
develop
luxury
market
rate
housing
when
we
as
a
community,
are
looking
for
workforce
housing
and
affordable
housing
and
that's
what
we
would
like
to
be
a
part
of
the
discussion
and
in
local
control,
not
setting
aside
10
percent
to
take
away
our
zoning
opportunities
just
for
low-income
housing.
If
we
as
a
community,
are
interested
in
developing,
affordable
housing,
we
should
be
have
a
voice
to
say
we
would
like
a
higher
threshold
of
affordable
housing.
S
If
you
as
a
state,
are
going
to
come
in
and
say
this
is
how
you're
going
to
do
zoning
in
thousand
oaks.
We
would
like
to
say
this
is
how
much
we
need.
This
is
the
type
of
housing
that
we
need
you
to
provide
us.
We
also
need
to
create
a
way
to
get
back.
The
rda
funding
that
we've
lost,
because
we
as
a
city
need
to
work
worry
about
other
services
and
projects
in
creating
a
quality
of
life
for
our
residents.
S
We
cannot
and
we
are
not
developers.
So
if
the
state
is
interested
in
us
to
develop
more
housing,
they
need
to
come
back
to
us
and
say
we're
going
to
set
aside
money
for
for
you.
So
that
way
we
can
partner
with
you
to
get
to
those
goals
to
get
to
those
arena
goals,
but
to
make
it
punitive
for
us.
That's
the
local
control
that
we
need
and
we're
fighting
against.
S
I
That
being
said,
it's
not
just
about
shaking
your
fist
in
the
air
and
we've
been
very
clear
about
that.
It's
it's
about
planning
locally,
too,
and
this
council
took
the
bold
step
of
putting
a
general
plan
in
place,
and
so
this
council
took
those
hard
steps
on
a
land
use
map
this
year
over
the
the
first
seven
months
here
and
this
that
step.
Those
actions
are
what
lays
that
groundwork,
and
that
is
what
helps
us
to
ensure
that
when
we
talk
to
the
state
we
can
say
we
are
planning
locally.
B
Thank
you
very
much.
That
was
extremely
well
stated.
Really.
I
think
we
needed
that
sort
of
message
and
wake
up
call
again,
because
I
mean
we
just
heard
how
it
is
really
in
in
sacramento
and
what
we
are
dealing
with
and
mina
laba.
As
the
legislative
affairs
analyst
knows
exactly
how
this
game
is
played,
and
it
is
a
game
unfortunately.
O
All
too
often
it
seems
that,
rather
than
being
collaborative
with
the
state,
they
they
tend
to
have
a
more
punitive
relationship
with
us,
which
I
don't
think
is
particularly
productive
and,
as
mr
power
said,
if
you
want
an
example
of
local
control,
we
just
spent
18
months
questioning
and
polling
our
citizenry
to
put
together
a
general
plan.
That
would
be
good
for
the
next
25
years.
That
focus
primarily
on
the
issue
that
the
state
wants
us
to
focus
on
housing.
B
S
What
is
really
interesting
is
based
on
the
mayor's
leadership
we
reached
out
to
our
partners
and
we
sent
a
request
for
an
extension.
We
were
the
only
solo
city
to
do
that.
Our
state
lobbyist
even
took
the
letters
to
hcd,
we
called
skag
and
what
happened.
Last
week
we
got
a
letter
from
skag
saying
all
skag
member
cities.
We
are
asking,
as
a
coalition
to
send
a
letter
to
ask
that
skag
be
given
an
extension.
S
So
if
they
had
taken
the
challenge,
when
we
did
this
in
january,
I
think
we
would
have
more
momentum,
especially
as
now
we
are
looking
at
a
deadline
in
september.
So
I
I
want
to
thank
you
mayor
for
your
leadership
and
foresight
and
and
leading
the
cause,
and
now
all
of
these
cities
are
starting
to
join
in
from
southern
california,
but.
I
And
to
add
to
that
just
for
for
color
for
for
other,
there
are
a
lot
of
cities
that
are
behind
the
eight
ball
and
there
are
consequences,
as
I've
said
before,
for
not
meeting
those
deadlines.
Thankfully
we
were
lucky
and
we
pushed
through
and
successfully
moved
to
the
next
stage
here.
Had
we
not
done
that
and
there's
many
many
cities
that
are
not
in
that
that
situation
and
we're
still
advocating
for
that
on
on
their
behalf,
even
though
we
have
pushed
through
the
the
most
difficult
on
the
timing
piece
for
us
locally.
G
C
Thank
you,
maddie
mary
and
thank
you.
Miss
lay
before
the
very
nice
presentation
and
also
your
defense
of
our
our
redevelopment
agencies
and
that
sort
of
thing
it
it.
It
goes
without
saying
that
that
is
where
things
started
to
get
off
the
rails,
and
we
need
that
back.
So
the
the
question
I
think
I
have
really
is
and
having
been
part
of
some
of
the
discussions
and
and
on
a
couple
of
the
committees
at
in
both
national
league
and
league
california
cities.
C
I
won't
call
them
bad
bills.
Everybody
has
things
they're
a
good
idea
when
they
put
them
in,
but
the
the
bills
themselves
have
very
dire
consequences
for
for
cities
so
being
able
to
have
our
mayor
this
year,
and
hopefully
you
know
in
the
future,
other
mayors
will
be
able
to
send
letters
that
would
give
voice
our
opinion
on
those
on
those
bills.
But
more
importantly,
I
think,
is
to
identify
those
bills
which
do
bring
benefit
to
the
city.
L
O
Well,
thanks
mayor
yeah,
I
just
want
to
add,
I
mean
local
control
is
part
of
this
legislative
platform
and
also
as
mayor
protem
england
mentioned.
The
local
budget
is
another
part,
and
you
know
folks,
there's
a
lot
of
money
sloshing
around
out
there.
It's
unbelievable
the
feds
are
going
to
spend
6
trillion.
The
state
of
california.
O
Has
this
unexpected
100
billion
dollar
windfall,
if
you,
if
you
may
they're,
going
to
spend
10
billion
on
cities
here
in
the
state
of
california,
and
this
is
the
reason
we
have
to
have
lobbyists
and
we
have
to
have
a
legislative
analyst,
because
it's
incumbent
upon
us
whether
you
agree
with
the
spending
or
not
to
get
our
fair
share
and
have
these
tax
dollars
returned
to
the
citizens
of
the
city
of
thousand
oaks.
These
are
our
tax
dollars.
Let's
bring
back
as
much
as
we
can
to
our
city.
J
J
B
O
J
B
H
H
Now,
in
my
previous
update
in
january,
I
mentioned
that
we
had
formed
an
ad
hoc
dei
task
force
to
provide
recommendations
to
the
full
board
on
ways
to
integrate
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion,
more
purposefully
into
the
arts,
programs
and
governance.
As
we
work
to
fulfill
our
vision
where
the
arts
thrive
for
all
and
at
the
recommendation
of
the
task
force,
the
teal
arts
board
adopted
a
commitment
to
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion.
H
The
board
is
currently
working
with
staff
staff
to
finalize
the
operating
budget
for
fiscal
year.
2021
2022
and
we'll
be
discussing
this
item
at
our
next
meeting.
The
budget
is
expected
to
reflect
ongoing
investment
in
arts
education
programs,
while
taking
a
strategic
approach
to
presenting
programs
at
the
bank
of
america
performing
arts
center.
H
H
Our
programs
this
year
would
not
have
been
possible,
if
not
for
the
partnership
and
support
of
the
canal
recreation
park,
district,
the
city
of
thousand
oaks,
the
lakes
at
thousand
oaks,
arses
golf
at
los
los
roles,
greens
and
many
other
local
businesses
foundation,
individuals
who
generally
generously
supported
our
work
as
an
annual
tradition.
This
past
february,
we
hosted
our
gratitude
reception
virtually
to
honor
our
donors
and
supporters,
and
it
was
well
attended.
H
They
had
different
experiences
in
breakout
rooms,
including
theater
and
music,
trivia,
recorded
performances
by
our
grant
recipients,
and
a
virtual
backstage
tour
of
the
fred
cavley
theater,
also
in
february
to
arts,
is
proud
to
participate
in
the
celebration
of
the
sector
event
presented
virtually
by
the
center
for
non-profit
leadership
at
cal,
lutheran
university
in
a
break
route
room
hosted
by
teo
arts
jonathan,
provided
a
virtual
backstage
tour
of
the
theaters
that
participated
in
a
q.
A
session
regarding
the
bank
of
performing
art
bank
of
america
performing
arts
center.
H
In
june,
our
associate
director
nikki
richardson
moderated
our
second
annual
panel
discussion
of
the
state
of
the
performing
arts
in
the
canal
valley,
with
representatives
of
local
performing
arts
organizations
to
discuss
how
they've
managed
last
year
and
how
they
are
focusing
their
efforts.
Moving
forward.
H
Next,
one
thing
we
take
a
lot
of
pride
in
is
arts
education,
and
this
year
we
really
expanded
our
efforts
during
the
pandemic
to
provide
that
to
students
in
canal
valley
in
the
greater
area.
Through
our
new
access
arts
program,
we
joined
in
partnership
with
the
canal
schools
foundation
to
provide
funding
and
support
of
the
focus
on
the
arts
initiative
of
the
canada
valley,
unified
school
district.
This
funding
provided
weekly
virtual
virtual
arts
education
programs
by
video
for
all
cvusd
elementary
school
students.
H
Another
exciting
part
of
our
arts
education
program
was
virtual
field
trips,
with
remote
learning
for
all
students
and
the
theaters
being
closed
for
the
last
year.
Obviously
they
couldn't
come
here
to
do
their
annual
field
trips
and
see
shows.
However,
we
were
able
to
contract
with
creative
partners
to
provide
a
season
of
virtual
field
trips
organized
by
our
associate
director.
These
field
trips
were
accessible
during
specific
durations
of
time
through
our
website,
which
made
them
available
students
at
canelo
valley,
ventura,
county
and
beyond
each
month.
H
Our
virtual
field,
trips
were
routinely
accessed
by
five
to
seven
hundred.
Students
to
arts
was
also
able
to
provide
new,
diverse
experiences
for
students
and
teachers,
which
included
programs
from
local
art,
presenters
like
five
star
theatricals
new
west
symphony
and
dr
corey
hill's,
percussive
storytelling
and
provided
customized
content
from
presenters
across
the
country,
such
as
hiplet
ballerinas
from
chicago
which
blended
blends
traditional
ballet
with
hip,
hop
and
other
styles
of
contemporary
music.
We
had
mexican
dance
and
music
presented
by
kaladanza.
H
Since
january
t,
arts
presented
nine
performances
through
our
virtual
national
geographic
live
series,
our
teo
arts
roadshow
driving
concert
at
the
lakes
and
our
teal
arts
scene
at
the
greens,
performances
performed
at
the
los
robles
greens.
Our
intention
for
out
for
the
outdoor
events
was
to
continue
providing
fun,
quality,
creative
content
and
a
safe
environment
while
rebuilding
the
confidence
and
gathering
together.
Once
again,
although
the
pop-up
arts
and
music
festival
was
produced
by
the
city,
t
arts
was
proud
to
be
the
presenting
sponsor
of
las
cafeteras
on
june
25th.
H
Next,
I
want
to
discuss
our
2021-2022
work
plan.
Our
intention
is
to
continue
expanding
our
arts
education
programs
outside
the
theaters
to
reach
students
in
their
schools.
In
addition
to
our
established
kids
in
the
arts
program,
we
now
have
new
tools
in
our
toolbox
with
access,
arts
and
virtual
field
trips.
H
H
Now
the
exciting
part
is
the
year
ahead.
We
will
be
focusing
on
our
containing
continuing
engagement
with
the
community
and
with
our
donors
and
sponsors,
we'll
also
be
re-engaging
with
audiences
patrons
and
theater
guests.
As
we
present
events
at
the
bank
of
america
performing
arts
center,
we
also
trs
presents,
will
be
a
big
focus
on
programming
for
for
the
performing
arts
center,
with
an
eye
towards
reinvigorating
the
arts,
culture
and
entertainment
community
and
the
creative
economy.
H
H
First
of
all,
this
friday,
the
very
first
live
performance.
Since
the
pandemic,
we
will
be
having
melissa
manchester
presenting
in
the
cavali,
obviously
social,
distancing
and
reduced
audience,
but
we're
very
excited
to
have
this.
It's
a
good
sign
that
maybe
the
end
of
the
pandemic's
getting
closer.
H
H
H
B
B
It
really
has
been
so
really
really
appreciate
that,
and
I
absolutely
love
the
addition
of
your
dei
task
force
or
ad
hoc
committee,
because
I
think
the
best
way
to
understand
different
cultures
is
through
music
and
arts
and
entertainment,
and
so
with
a
change
in
programming
and
bringing
in
different
music
from
different
countries
like
las
cafeteras,
for
example,
is
just
really
going
to
help,
perhaps
ease
some
of
the
tensions
that
we
are
experiencing
in
not
only
our
community
but
also
nationwide.
So
I
really
appreciate
that.
J
H
Yes,
equity
practice,
they're
out
of
santa
barbara,
it's
an
outside
consulting
firm
and
the
task
force.
You
know
once
I
don't
know
if
you
would
say,
went
to
bid,
but
they
interviewed
several
different
groups
and-
and
this
one
came
well
recommended
so
they're,
going
to
help
the
board,
learn
how
to
put
dei
into
into
use
and
with
regard
to
you
know,
performances
and
inclusion
for
the
community
and
all
those
factors.
K
K
K
Teo
arts
just
to
clarify
because
you've
used
the
word
us
and
teo
arts
is
a
separate
organization.
I
just
want
to
remind
everybody
that
teo
arts
is
an
independent
organization,
that's
governed
by
their
own
board
of
directors,
but
teo
arts
has
contracted,
for,
I
believe,
the
amount
of
7
500
and
it's
for
a
body
of
work
that
will
take
us
a
few
months
to
achieve.
B
O
Thank
you,
mayor
david.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
volunteering,
your
valuable
time
to
promote
the
arts
here
in
thousand
oaks.
We
really
appreciate
that
and
I'm
very
encouraged
to
see
we
have
46
performances
booked
already
in
such
a
short
time-
that's
fantastic
and
also
just
as
always,
I'm
so
happy
to
see
that
we
continue
to
reach
out
to
the
young
people
in
a
thousand
oaks
to
the
students.
I
know
when
I
was
probably
in
third
or
fourth
grade.
O
O
C
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
Yes
and
I'll
just
jump
on
the
bandwagon
here.
I
with
the
arts
and
everything
good
good
analogy.
The
the
fact
that
you're
going
into
the
dei
aspects
of
things
is
very
good.
I
appreciate
that
we're
oftentimes
asked
what
is
the
city
doing
to
help
promote
diversity,
inclusion,
and
this
is
another
aspect
of
what
we're
doing
in
the
programming
that
you
mentioned,
that
brings
in
all
cultures
and
and
ethnic
groups.
C
B
Thank
you
and
I
believe
this
was
going
to
be
a
receive
and
file,
so
does
it
need
a
formal
vote?
It
does
not,
but
mr
mead,
thank
you
so
much
for
your
continued
service
volunteer
service,
you've
done
it
for
a
number
of
years
and
it
seems
to
be
getting
better
with
every
year.
So
I
really
appreciate
also
the
new
connection
and
the
new
dimension
with
the
conejo
unified
school
district.
K
Madam
mayor,
if
I
can
jump
in
and
just
add
one
more
point,
council
member
adam
mentioned
diversity,
equity
and
inclusion
with
relation
to
arts,
education
programs,
that
is
one
of
the
true
benefits
of
being
able
to
operate
in
a
virtual
environment
and
be
able
to
continue.
Those
programs
is
because
it
helps
us
further
our
reach
with
the
dollars
that
we're
setting
aside,
because
those
programs
can
be
accessed
really
from
anywhere
we're
not
bound
by
a
geographic
location
with
regard
to
in-person
arts.
K
O
K
It
gives
us
a
wider
reach
and
it
allows
us
much
more
flexibility
in
how
we
reach
those
students
and,
as
I
said,
the
geographic
areas
that
they
can
participate
from
we're
not
bound
really
to
just
the
kaneho
valley.
We,
with
a
lot
of
our
programs
that
we
found
we're
getting
students
coming
in
from
ventura
county,
the
greater
county
area,
as
well
as
beyond
our
county.
B
Yeah,
I
think
virtual
education
is
here
to
stay
and
also
would
like
to
recognize
the
school
district
for
making
it
possible
that
children
in
title
one
schools,
for
example,
they
they
were
supplied.
What
do
you
call
a
laptops
so
they
can
actually
participate
so
that
that's
one
way
to
to
include
them
and
get
them
engaged.
So,
thank
you
all.
Right
and
now
we
will
go
to
city
manager,
drew
powers
for
an
update.
I
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
This
is
our
final
meeting
before
the
council's
annual
summer
recess
and
I
think
perhaps
one
of
the
hardest
earned
recesses
for
a
council
in
in
my
20
years
and
in
the
business.
It's
been
a
very,
very
busy
seven
months
over
the
course
of
the
next
couple
of
months,
we'll
be
working
on
another
very
busy
agenda
for
this
fall
and
putting
those
together.
Our
next
council
meeting
will
be
on
tuesday,
the
31st
of
august
wishing
everyone
a
very
happy
summer.
B
Thank
you,
mr
powers.
I
also
wanted
to
mention
actually
under
the
previous
item
council
issues,
recommendations
or
follow-up
conferences.
I
wanted
to
just
mention
that
sergeant
ron
hilas
was
awarded
posthumously,
the
congressional
badge
of
bravery
by
congresswoman
julia
brownlee.
Today,
at
the
healing
garden,
it
was
a
very
moving
ceremony.
B
B
It
is
with
great
sadness
that
we
mourn
the
passing
of
marine
corporal
brandon
javier
alvarez,
who
made
the
ultimate
sacrifice
helping
to
keep
our
nation
safe.
Every
service
member
life
lost
is
a
tragedy.
It
is
a
loss
to
our
military
to
our
nation
and
to
the
families
who
grieve
corporal

was
22
years
old
of
newbury
park.
He
died
still
mysteriously
on
june
6,
while
serving
in
the

east.
The

teams
that
was
in
bahrain,
brandon
joined
the
marines
in
november
of
2018
as

B
B
Brandon
was
a
bright
young
man,
an
incredibly
hard
worker
with
an
infectious
smile
and
had
his
entire
life
still
ahead
of
him.
He
loved
his

his
family
and
friends,
and
was
excited
about
the
future

was
building
tonight.

how
much
he

of
a
thankful
community.
B
B
B
So
we
are
adjourning
tonight
in
memory
of
michael
ganjemi,
the
longest
tenured
director
at
westlake,
high
school
and
one
of
the
most
beloved
music
educators
in
our
school
district
and
beyond.
Mr
g,
as
he
was
known,
died
on
june
20th
at
the
age
of
49
from
complications
of
kidney
failure.
Mr
g
wasn't
just
a
music
teacher.
He
was
someone
who
knew
how
to
connect
with
students,
regardless
of
their
ability,
because
he
lived
and
breathed
music
for
many
students.
B
B
As
a
member
of
the
pinkpop
foreign
exchange
jazz
program
in
98,
mr
g
played
lead
trumpet
for
the
national
tour
of
bye,
bye
birdie.
He
returned
to
westlake
high
school
in
2001
to
become
associate
band
director.
He
later
earned
his
degree
from
southern
new
hampshire
university
when
at
long
last
he
obtained
his
teaching
credential
from
cal
state
northridge.
Just
two
years
ago,
he
left
westlake
high
school
for
his
dream
job
as
a
band
director
at
santiago
high
school
in
corona
mike
was
a
sought-after
clinician
and
performer
in
the
southern
california
music
scene.
B
Mr
g's
proudest
accomplishment
was
the
formation
of
his
own
big
band
orchestra,
the
lane
29
orchestra,
through
philanthropic
activities,
coordinated
by
this
group.
Mr
g
donated
tens
of
thousands
of
dollars
to
charities
and
nonprofit
organizations,
including
the
aids
project,
la
juvenile
diabetes
assistance
league
and
als
mike's
mom
gina
zombluskas
was
quoted
in
the
acorn
as
saying
that
teaching
was
mike's,
true
calling
that's
what
he
loved
doing
most.
She
said,
and
he
proved
that
as
an
educator
absolutely
undoubtedly,
and
with
all
enthusiasm
and
joy,
he
loved
his
students.
B
His
sarcasm,
wit
and
one-liners
are
legendary
and
still
make
everyone
laugh
and
shake
their
head.
He
loved
music,
he
loved
teaching,
he
loved,
helping
everyone
and
he
loved
people,
and
mr
peter
says
let
us
all
take
time
to
remember.
Mr
g,
by
listening
to
music,
he
loved
daisy,
counting,
crows
gin,
blossoms
and
any
piece
he
conducted
or
programmed
for
jazz
would
be
a
great
start
and
play
your
instruments.
He
said
even
for
just
a
short
while
may
the
endless
selfies
story,
slaps
and
memories
wash
away
any
sadness.
