The Agoura Hills City Council meeting on May 28, 2025, focused on significant funding updates and community initiatives aimed at addressing homelessness and wildfire prevention.

One of the key discussions revolved around Measure M funding, with the executive director of the Council of Governments (COG) announcing a total allocation of $13 million for various projects across cities. Individual meetings will be held with city representatives to discuss project funding, with a finalized process expected to be reviewed by city managers before being presented to the governing board in September.

Additionally, the council unanimously approved a revised statement of work for the Los Angeles County Local Solutions Fund, which allocates $67,000 towards homelessness problem-solving efforts. This funding aims to assist individuals and families in securing housing, addressing a pressing issue in the region.

Council Member Anderson provided updates from the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy, highlighting a focus on land stewardship and wildfire prevention. The Conservancy awarded a $1 million grant to the Ventura Fire Department and a $2.2 million grant to the Los Angeles County Fire Department to support wildfire mitigation efforts. These grants are part of a broader strategy to protect the community from potential wildfires, especially given Agoura Hills' proximity to Ventura County.

The meeting also included a public comment section, where community members were invited to share updates and concerns. Joshua Gray from the Greater Canal Valley Chamber of Commerce expressed gratitude for local leadership and announced upcoming events, including the chamber's annual 40 Under 40 reception.

Overall, the meeting underscored the city's commitment to addressing homelessness and enhancing fire safety through collaborative funding efforts and community engagement.
