The Ojai Planning Commission held a productive meeting on May 21, 2025, where community engagement and local events took center stage. A highlight of the meeting was the public comment from Steve Klosey, commander of the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 11461, who invited residents to the upcoming Memorial Day observance at Libby Bowl. Scheduled for next Monday, the event will feature the Ventura British Brass Band, performances by local students, and a special speaker from Vandenberg Space Force Base. Klosey emphasized the importance of honoring veterans and encouraged families to attend for both educational and commemorative purposes.

The meeting also included the approval of minutes from the previous gathering, with no changes or discussions raised by the commissioners. The commission moved forward efficiently, reflecting a commitment to maintaining transparency and community involvement in local governance.
