At the June 23 meeting the Simi Valley City Council approved a slate of appointments to city advisory boards and foundations and approved the consent calendar, including two rate resolutions.
Appointments: Council and staff presented and the council confirmed nominations for several advisory bodies (all votes recorded as unanimous): - Simi Valley Arts Commission: John D'Antona and Tiffany Wright (terms 07/01/2025–06/30/2027). - Ventura County Area Agency on Aging advisory council: Al Brown (ratification of appointment). - Americans with Disabilities Act Paratransit Advisory Committee: Roberta Gagliano (member) and Karen Bobango (alternate). - Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center Foundation board: Brandy Kosloy, Lori Love and Brian Park (terms beginning 07/01/2025; one term concluding 06/30/2026, two concluding 06/30/2028). - Youth Employment Service (YES) advisory board: multiple nominees including Tim Harrington, Chris Turner, Erica Ayala, Chelsea Kennedy, Eric Lundstrom, and others (terms mostly 07/01/2025–06/30/2027 with some partial terms to 06/30/2026). - Simi Valley Youth Council: 24 appointees for 07/01/2025–06/30/2026 (21 primary members and 3 alternates); 90 applications were received during recruitment.
Consent and rates: The council approved the consent calendar, including: - Resolution No. 2025‑19 establishing sanitation rates and fees for FY 2025‑26 and authorizing Ventura County to collect residential sanitation service rates on the tax roll. - Resolution WWDDash299 by the Board of Directors of Ventura County Waterworks District No. 8 establishing a water service standby charge for FY 2025‑26.
All of the above motions carried unanimously.

The sanitation and water standby charge resolutions finalize rates for the coming fiscal year and instruct collection procedures.
