Agoura Hills City Council members team up on various committees

The Agoura Hills City Council will tackle a variety of issues over the next year and, in preparation for the work ahead, the five council members have begun committee work.

Mayor Denis Weber will serve on the city/schools partnership, finance committee, art in public places, law enforcement, city beautification, and the general plan advisory committee. Weber and Mayor Pro Tem Dan Kuperberg will be delegates for the Las Virgenes Malibu Council of Governments and League of California Cities, Los Angeles Division.

Kuperberg will also tackle af

ordable housing in Agoura Hills with new council member Will

am Koehler, and both will con

inue their work on the Agoura Village task force and the economic development committee. They will also blend their efforts on the legislative committee, keeping tabs on state and national

ssues that might impact Agoura Hills.

Kuperberg will team up with new council member Harry Schwarz on the city’s open space committee, and will work on the annual Reyes Adobe Days event with Councilmember John Edelston.

Edelston will join Koehler on a committee that will study traffic and transportation issues, and will work with Schwarz on the North Santa Monica Bay Watershed task force, which aims to clean up the water that wends its way down the mountains through creek beds and tributaries to the ocean. Edelston will also put his expertise to work on the finance committee and city/schools group. He will be the sole member representing the Agoura Hills/ Calabasas Community Center.

Koehler will be the liaison to the Agoura Hills/Las Virgenes/ Oak Park Chamber of Commerce.

Schwarz will represent the city council on the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy, and work with Weber on the art in public places, general plan advisory, and city beautification committees.

Committee members are not authorized to make final decisions on issues, but are charged with bringing issues back to the city council, “unless specifically authorized by the council beforehand,” said City Clerk Kimberly Rodrigues in her report to the council.
