  1. Cal Fire has recognized the Ventura County Fire Protection District as a fire risk reduction community, effective now through July 2028. This is important because (a) VCFPD is the agency responsible for fire prevention and response in Thousand Oaks and (b) recognition brings priority consideration for Cal Fire’s Wildfire Prevention Grants and helps inform wildfire risk ratings.

  3. Well, next week is going to be a blur. Helping support a damage assessment, speaking on a wildfire panel at a utility conference, and making a trip to see some family after a crisis.

    Glad that we have some mild weather compared to what could hit the East, but I would do unmentionable things to get some snow out here.

  7. Tonight the @conejoopenspace board voted 5-0 to remove 23 Mexican fan palms from open space west of Lynn between Arboles and Flores, near Shenandoah.

    VCFD recommended the removals because these trees contain highly flammable dead fronds and can send burning embers flying.

    COSCA is seeking funding for the eventual removal of all Mexican fan palms and arundo grass, both non-native species, from the roughly 12,700 acres of open space it manages.

  13. Wildfire prevention and preparedness is always top of mind, never more so than now.

    Here’s an overview of ongoing efforts by COSCA, the joint powers agency between the city and CRPD, to protect open space and educate residents on risk reduction. We’re also working with other agencies, from the federal to the county level, on additional preparedness and resiliency measures.

  15. Great news for the Santa Monica Mountains, and for wildfire preparedness in our area: The Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy will receive $31.3 million from Prop. 4 funds for watershed improvement, wildfire resilience, chaparral and forest restoration, and workforce development. Job training will target disadvantaged and vulnerable communities.

    The first batch of these funds will be on the SMMC’s Monday night agenda as a grant to @venturacountyfire (h/t former state Sen. Fran Pavley)

  17. Today I signed four more letters stating the city's position on three state bills and a federal funding request by the county. Thousand Oaks is a strong supporter of parks, public safety, and wildfire prevention.

  19. This week I signed another batch of letters on the city's behalf in support of or opposition to state bills now under consideration in Sacramento. Although the issues can be complex, the decision process is pretty simple: If a bill would improve the safety and well-being of Thousand Oaks residents and businesses, the city supports it.
