Tonight the Thousand Oaks City Council unanimously approved its 2026 committee assignment roster.
Each councilmember represents your interests on a number of internal and external panels and commissions. These panels tie our city into regional, statewide, and national organizations where we meet colleagues, talk through issues of mutual concern, and learn of new solutions that directly benefit Thousand Oaks residents.
My assignments for the coming year include:
- Capital Facilities Committee (internal)
- Conejo Open Space Conservation Agency (COSCA)
- Clean Power Alliance (CPA, also serve on CPA’s Finance Committee)
- Ventura Council of Governments (VCOG)
- Ventura County Regional Energy Alliance (VCREA)
- Ventura Regional Sanitation District (VRSD, current chair)
- National League of Cities Energy, Environment, and Natural Resources Committee (NLC EENR)
- League of California Cities Environmental Quality Committee (Cal Cities EQ)
Most of the assignments are identical to last year’s. There are a few exceptions:
- Mayor pro tem Engler and I swapped positions on VCOG, where I now serve as primary delegate and he serves as alternate.
- Councilmember Gutierrez picks up new assignments: On the Ventura County Continuum of Care board; on NLC’s Finance, Administration, and Intergovernmental Relations Committee (FAIR); and on the board of Community Action of Ventura County (applied for and approved by the county Board of Supervisors).

Thanks to my colleagues on the Thousand Oaks City Council for selecting me as mayor for the next year. As I said at tonight’s reorg meeting, it’s our duty on Council to ensure city government works for all residents.
And congratulations to Al Adam and Connie “Tie” Guttierez, sworn in tonight to the first councilmembers in city history to serve in districts.
I’ve appreciated the way Al Adam handled meetings in a fair and efficient way in the past year as mayor.
And I am thrilled to say Tie will now be my colleague as well as my friend.
Last but not least, congratulations to Mikey Taylor, the city's new mayor pro tem.

Come to the City Council's annual reorganization meeting next Tuesday evening! Each year the Council selects a mayor and mayor pro tem for the coming year. This year's event also will see the swearing-in of new councilmember Connie "Tie" Guttierez. There will be a reception in the lobby afterward. All are welcome!
