Agoura Hills recognizes Rabbits and Oaks, honors Arbor Day and approves consent calendar including potential prosecutor appointment
Loading...
Summary
The council proclaimed April 22 as Arbor Day, presented a business‑of‑the‑month award to Rabbits and Oaks maker Hilary Linderman, recognized West Coast Arborists for tree‑work, and adopted the consent calendar 5‑0, which included presenting Civica Law Group for a potential city prosecutor appointment.
Mayor Wolf opened the April 22 meeting by proclaiming Arbor Day for Agoura Hills and recognizing the city’s designation as a Tree City USA designee for the third consecutive year.
"It is with pleasure that I, as mayor, and on behalf of the entire city council, do hereby proclaim 04/22/2026 as Arbor Day in the city of Agoura Hills, California," the mayor read, urging citizens to support urban‑forest preservation.
The council presented April’s business of the month to Rabbits and Oaks, a local creative business run by maker Hilary Linderman. Linderman thanked the council and said the community’s support helped her build a business that connects people to the city. Mayor Pro Tem Deborah Klein Lopez and other council members described seeing Linderman’s work around the region and praised the business for strengthening ties to Agoura Hills.
Mayor Wolf and staff also recognized West Coast Arborists for their contributions to tree plantings and community service efforts; area manager Lorenzo Perez accepted the recognition and thanked the city for the partnership.
On the consent calendar, representatives from Civica Law Group — managing partner Matt Silver and supervising attorney Lauren Brown — introduced their firm as the candidate presented for possible appointment as city prosecutor on the consent calendar. Because the item was on the consent calendar, council limited back‑and‑forth and later voted to adopt the consent calendar.
Council member Chris Anstead moved, Council member Anderson seconded, and the roll call vote recorded five ayes; the consent calendar passed 5‑0, carrying the prosecuted appointment presentation forward as part of routine consent action.
Staff and council closed with reminders about community service days on April 25, a student art show at the Agoura Hills Recreation and Event Center, and the selection of Ben Suber as the city’s inaugural volunteer of the month. Mayor Wolf adjourned the meeting and noted upcoming goal‑setting and regular council meetings.
