Public commenters at Agoura Hills meeting push for Dignity Act, urge park safety signage and thank council for school support
Summary
Three public commenters addressed the council: a congressional candidate outlined the federal "Dignity Act" immigration proposal, a resident urged stronger park signage and said raised pavers caused a fall, and a schools foundation treasurer thanked the city for carnival and fundraising support.
Three members of the public addressed the Agoura Hills City Council during the public‑comment period, speaking on federal immigration reform, park safety and trip hazards, and support for a local schools foundation.
Doctor Michael Koslow, who identified himself as a U.S. congressional candidate, presented an executive summary of H.R. 4393, the "Dignity Act of 2025," which he said was introduced July 15, 2025. Koslow described the legislation as a three‑part, bipartisan package that would combine border security measures (including asylum reform and mandatory E‑Verify), a pathway for certain undocumented immigrants to obtain work visas, and changes to employment and student visa processes. He characterized the bill as "no amnesty, no handouts, no citizenship — just accountability and a path toward economic stability," and said he had provided an executive summary to the council.
Jennifer Miller, a resident, urged the council to install clearer signage in Forest Cove Park after witnessing children riding bicycles down park steps into the playground. Miller said existing signage was in "little tiny writing" and described falling in the park because of raised pavers; she said the city had been shown photographs of the hazard months earlier and that she had not received a follow‑up. Miller said she would consider legal action if the hazard was not addressed.
David Rice, treasurer for the Foundation for the Las Virgenes Schools, thanked the council for its assistance securing parking and other support for an upcoming carnival fundraiser. Rice said the foundation, founded in 2012, has "granted Las Virgenes schools well over a million dollars since our starting." He encouraged council members and residents to attend the event that weekend.
Why this matters: Koslow's remarks conveyed a federal policy proposal to a local audience but did not seek council action; Miller's comments raise an ongoing parks maintenance and public‑safety concern residents asked staff to address; Rice's remarks described local nonprofit fundraising that the council supported.
The council did not vote on any of the matters raised during public comment during the meeting.
