FY 2026-27 Senior Services Planning and Committee Assignments
The commission will assign liaison and committee positions for the coming fiscal year, covering the volunteer fair, senior resource directory, and Goebel outreach. These assignments shape which senior programs get attention all year.
Spanish-Language Access to City Services
A high school junior told the council that roughly 15% of Thousand Oaks residents speak Spanish, but the city website has no clear translation tool and library programs aren't offered in Spanish. Staff met with him after the meeting about available options.
POW/MIA Memorial Sculpture Repair
The Hubert family's memorial sculpture at the Civic Arts Plaza was vandalized — branches missing and the POW/MIA flag torn. The city says it's already working on the flag and staff will follow up with the family.
Hillcrest Ridge Trail easement protection
An unusually wet winter has caused saturation, downed trees, ruts, and erosion across the open space. Staff are identifying problem areas that may need engineered drainage fixes, and climate predictions suggest heavier storms ahead.
