  1. Thank you to everyone in the full-house crowd and online who took part in last night's City Council vote on the Downtown Plan. Whether you approve, disapprove, or have mixed feelings, I appreciate that so many of you spoke up last night, and in discussions ahead of the vote.

    Despite some concerns, I joined in the unanimous approval because this project addresses several long-term unmet needs: housing for different income levels, a public gathering place, additional arts and cultural programming outlets, and funding for schools, parks, and local services at a time when other financial resources are tight.

    When it became clear that the Downtown Plan would easily pass, I focused on what I could do to improve the project. To that end, I proposed two amendments to shape the upcoming RFP process. I'm grateful my colleagues unanimously agreed to direct staff to use this guidance when soliciting developer proposals:

    1. Get options for condominiums, not just apartments. For example, the four-story mixed-use building on TO Boulevard could be condos, while the seven-story building behind it remains apartments. This would provide residents with pathways to build equity.

    2. Get options for long-term ground leases, not just fee-simple land sales. This is public land, and I strongly favor keeping it in public hands. Privatization would transfer away from the public and toward the already wealthy. If we are doing public-benefit projects, we must do everything possible to maximize that public benefit.

    Last but not least, I want to thank Akbar Alikhan, Krystin Rice, and the entire city team who worked with architects and met with thousands of residents. The team consistently made a good-faith effort to meet people where they were, helping shape a better project in the process.

  6. The City Council observed Pride Month Tuesday night by presenting Unity Conejo with a proclamation celebrating LGBTQ residents and their many contributions to our community. This follows on the Council’s recent unanimous vote to reaffirm our city’s #1 goal of being an “equitable, accessible, safe, welcoming, and inclusive” government and community for all residents.

    I am an ally of all who work for inclusion – regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, skin color, national origin, intellectual or physical ability, or faith.

    *This* is how we break the cycle of hatred and intolerance.

  11. This week the City Council joined with CVUSD in observing Juneteenth, the annual holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the US. This is an important event in US history. As Marlena Wallace, chair of CVUSD’s African-American District Advisory Council noted, African-American history *is* American history. Happy Juneteenth!

  26. Opening the city’s first homeless shelter was a milestone. In its first year of operation, Thrive Grove has helped reduce unsheltered homelessness in Thousand Oaks by 46%. TOPD reports there are now zero encampments in the city. Better still, residents are moving through this temporary facility and into permanent supportive housing, leading safer and more productive lives.

    Thanks to Hope the Mission, Many Mansions, the County of Ventura, DignityMoves, and all at the City of Thousand Oaks who’ve worked so hard to provide safety, dignity, and hope for all residents.

  31. Fun time this afternoon with students from EP Foster School touring the Chumash Indian Museum in Lang Ranch and learning about 15,000+ years of history in our area.

    Photo 2: The kids and I learned about building a tomol (canoe) out of redwood, thread, and tar.

    Photo 3: I had no idea there are caves in Lang Ranch, let alone pictograms on the cave walls. This is a reproduction, but it shows actual drawings from caves in Oakbrook Park and surrounding areas.

    Photo 1: The kids and I made cool abalone necklaces from shells and beads in red, white, yellow, and black – th primary colors found in many Chumash pictographs and other art.

    The Chumash Museum will reopen to the public June 6, and needs volunteers! Contact [email protected] for details.
