Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Thousand Oaks public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Moorpark Road storm drain repair
Forecasters are warning of a potentially historic El Niño winter, and the city says it's ready: storm drains cleared, trees trimmed, sandbags stocked, and battery backups at every traffic signal. Residents are being asked to do their part now — sign up for VC Alert, prep their homes, and pick up free pre-filled sandbags before the rain starts.
2025 Urban Water Management Plan Adoption
The city adopted its five-year update of the long-range water plan through 2050, plus a drought contingency plan. Water use is down about 40% since 2007, and supplies are projected to meet demand even in multi-year droughts — though the city remains 100% reliant on imported water.
