Klein Lopez said many drivers are used to charging overnight, but daytime charging can be more carbon‑friendly because of abundant solar energy on the grid during the day. She said Clean Power Alliance mailed information about sign‑up bonuses and monthly charging bonuses and that people who work from home may be able to take greater advantage of daytime rates and incentives.

She encouraged residents with questions to visit the Clean Power Alliance website and said incentives can lower costs while reducing emissions.

Amy Davis, who identified herself as an Agoura Hills resident, said the city already has a Climate Action and Adaptation Plan, a green‑building program, and a reusable‑foodware ordinance, and she urged council members to build on that work by addressing food‑system emissions. Davis said animal agriculture’s emissions contribute to climate change and wildfire risk and suggested that the city could promote plant‑forward practices in public institutions and community programs.

Paige Parsons Roche, who said she lives in Westlake Village and is part of the Plant Based Treaty initiative, offered to provide a presentation and materials and cited other cities — including Los Angeles and West Hollywood — that have endorsed plant‑based initiatives. Both speakers said they would be available to work with the city on education and implementation ideas.

Council members did not take action during the meeting; the comments were offered as ideas for future consideration.","Speakers during public comment urged the council to explore endorsing the Plant Based Treaty and other plant‑forward policies to reduce emissions and support the city's climate‑action goals.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6637189,"Resident urges Agoura Hills to press county on debris‑removal truck routes, testing and counts",288,1978000,2266000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2589124-27305a552d43aec7bc632ae6a862a32b&start=1978&end=2266","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2589124-27305a552d43aec7bc632ae6a862a32b/thumbnail_1978000.jpg","/articles/6637189/Agoura-Hills/Los-Angeles-County/California/Resident-urges-Agoura-Hills-to-press-county-on-debrisremoval-truck-routes-testing-and-counts","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6637189-03a4c23fb7b29934c49479ba05efde15/orig.mp4?Expires=1771162277&Signature=EB~NKSnZ1KMjSZQ~HNyXodqoa-HQuBfVBlAIsZX95yVrBm0Mr-7HmCxrT3m~uRyJ-TIDXR17AbSa--Fetm6ik5twZAe~KgZzzBD-WAxxiHps9U0OsrfUYr7tTub9PWAwcv4gGKteLdSOd2~qalw03bdsnczZLBQc32a7sU7A0JLgO1bHBxmBbq1IPPkae76WM8GXAt89f63OYSSr1rMVVn4nzL1TaBsRSUbtzrRllRVNI0Iueol1Rtziuv~KDAVTydCjsSa8QtBM~XRMeVB9K5AJT7QIBVikhac-CyQz54~F~h3Wp3GevQVx7WyJ~0m8FAjHYKVK7N0DaE8QC30swA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Richard Lawson told the Agoura Hills City Council that he is concerned about hazardous‑debris hauling routes and the potential for diesel exhaust and other pollutants to affect local communities as cleanup proceeds.

Lawson said he had read that phase 1 of the debris operation removed hazardous household materials and that phase 2 would wrap and seal any remaining hazardous household waste. He asked the city to request increased site testing from Los Angeles County before removal and to determine how many trucks are using routes through Malibu Canyon and Lost Hills Road.

Lawson also questioned whether environmental regulations were being suspended during debris removal and said he wanted the city to press county authorities for clarity on truck counts and routes. He described the route as passing schools and scenic corridors and said the truck traffic raised environmental and public‑health concerns.

The city did not take action on the request during the public‑comment period. Lawson said he planned to return at a future meeting to address other issues, including a separate water‑tower concern.","A resident asked the city to request more testing of contaminated sites and to determine the number and routes of hazardous-debris trucks traveling through Malibu Canyon and Lost Hills Road after recent fires.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6637194,"Agoura Hills residents urge council to reconsider approval process for Regency project, cite evacuation risks on Canaan Road",577,1409000,1986000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2589124-27305a552d43aec7bc632ae6a862a32b&start=1409&end=1986","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2589124-27305a552d43aec7bc632ae6a862a32b/thumbnail_1409000.jpg","/articles/6637194/Agoura-Hills/Los-Angeles-County/California/Agoura-Hills-residents-urge-council-to-reconsider-approval-process-for-Regency-project-cite-evacuation-risks-on-Canaan-Road","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6637194-a4b0f2c611b5853ea7b1a0f48ff3b822/orig.mp4?Expires=1771162277&Signature=MyvJRvkiKshPbA5gOugOT4Pc50oY575dqaugt8BHQGWyv~YoPJsGMJDCYK1w~tXogf4qA3LXkoztpg9uUcp-iZz26mZU2yVBHNCNj~NdvMoA584wCoMW2FMPQrWsviUblSfh6~bOlhDcEaoEgyPjkzaiigf8YzAQxd2Rn4KthVV6yXnxNjSSw-FH1R9XPYEvQZuq81H9-oZViNkaFdF1iMXKamkI60259xbS6iGSgHEnRrVIdMjJxqfaTvP7fp815YY2ydlQ122m8IB9u7WXZuwX5QFmlnL90tRT8TqhG-oSjysgWnQhT8098f8B0Q5UvIqmFos1dyZu6WVvKZHaQw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Multiple Agoura Hills residents used the public-comment period to warn the City Council that construction of hundreds of apartments near Canaan Road would worsen traffic and could create life‑threatening evacuation bottlenecks in a high-fire area.

Lorraine Crawford, who said she has lived in Agoura Hills for 24 years, told the council she opposes “adding hundreds of more cars in our ultra‑high fire zone off of Canaan Road” and said the city’s website shows the Regency project is “approved ministerially,” a process she described as involving “little or no personal judgment or discretion.”

Glenn Crawford said the Regency development, which speakers estimated would add roughly 300 units, would place more people into an existing choke point near the 101 Freeway and Canaan Road and increase the risk of loss of life during a fast‑moving wildfire. Both speakers referenced the Woolsey and Paradise fires as examples of how quickly fire can cut off escape routes.

Oren Gottlieb, who said he lives next to Chumash Park, described daily congestion around Agoura High School and detailed measures he asked the city to consider to improve neighborhood egress: painting “Do Not Block” markings and installing signage at the Parkeith Drive–Argo Street intersection, adding yield signs to give exiting residents right of way, and adding solid white lines to clarify parking areas and deter lane‑splitting. Gottlieb said mornings can be dangerous for families trying to leave the neighborhood.

Council members did not debate or take action during the public‑comment item; the mayor noted that items not on the agenda cannot be discussed by the council at that time. Speakers said they had sought help from state and federal lawmakers and asked the council to “fight for us” and consider relocating development or exercising discretion in approvals.

The public comments combined evacuation safety concerns with specific traffic‑management proposals; no formal council direction or vote on the Regency project was recorded during the meeting.","Several residents told the council that adding hundreds of housing units near Canaan Road could worsen summer traffic and create dangerous evacuation chokepoints; speakers urged the council to exercise discretion and defend community safety.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6637198,"SBA outlines disaster-loan options and March 31 deadline for Agoura Hills residents",423,824000,1247000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2589124-27305a552d43aec7bc632ae6a862a32b&start=824&end=1247","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2589124-27305a552d43aec7bc632ae6a862a32b/thumbnail_824000.jpg","/articles/6637198/Agoura-Hills/Los-Angeles-County/California/SBA-outlines-disaster-loan-options-and-March-31-deadline-for-Agoura-Hills-residents","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6637198-ede7bafa9fb0a739cb73eaf7192b1463/orig.mp4?Expires=1771162277&Signature=eWfCjUZr9KVN4WOXW-QV2RkXXYrtHLxBqvORn8EkKhYxeTeprwJTsiCnQwc5R5QsgbejCjkTB-HHVuBsvOkjxTzFipzvNf4LtbryApz9H425gEZMgvNlXCJEjAvpri8DcBGSWZY-dgkUTq1KIscguqkl~R7VbnGYMbTp41MRgap2TQ5b9XeHsRRw3BcD0En6WA7z-Fi013KKq3ypcokccUnV61sAr6B6Vcj8Q7xPmIlLvwcG5HO1MSY5j1QBkV74cyoxBo43ieeYjlXH~ua3DzI-MRO3nBKFpnwrB2XcgfA8zTRj41Soz9S-VVEHr6NKUfIzkOQPkQo77UlzfjMyWA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Natalie Longwell, public information officer for the Small Business Administration’s Office of Disaster Recovery and Resilience, told the Agoura Hills City Council that homeowners, renters, businesses and nonprofits in designated disaster areas may be eligible for low-interest federal disaster loans and urged affected residents to apply before the physical-damage deadline of March 31.

Longwell said the SBA provides loans to help repair or replace buildings, equipment and contents and to cover mitigation costs. She said businesses and nonprofits may borrow up to $2,000,000 for physical damage, homeowners up to $500,000 for residence repairs, and homeowners and renters up to $100,000 for damaged contents. Interest rates she cited were “as low as 4% for businesses, as low as 3.625% for nonprofits, and as low as 2.563% for homeowners and renters,” with terms up to 30 years.

Longwell said economic injury disaster loans are available to businesses that lost revenue even if they did not sustain physical damage, and that mitigation funding may cover up to 20% of the verified structural loss. She told council members that applicants have no obligation to accept an approved loan and can delay a decision or disbursement; she also said there is no cost to apply.

The SBA representative described three application routes: online at lending.SBA.gov, by calling the SBA at (800) 659-2955, or in person at one of two disaster recovery centers in Los Angeles County. She identified the centers as 540 West Woodbury Road in Altadena and UCLA Research Park West at 1850 West Pico Boulevard in Los Angeles; both were described as open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Longwell recommended in-person help for one-on-one assistance through the application.

The presentation was informational; no council action was taken. Council members offered to make the presentation materials available on city social media and staff confirmed they would distribute the information.

Additional details provided during the presentation included application timelines (initial disbursements can be made within five business days after approval) and that interest does not begin to accrue until 12 months after the first disbursement. Residents seeking help were directed to the SBA Office of Disaster Recovery and Resilience for more information.","A Small Business Administration representative told the Agoura Hills City Council about low-interest disaster loans for homeowners, renters, businesses and nonprofits after recent wildfires and explained application methods and local recovery centers.","actionData","errors"]
