Conejo board appoints members to 2026 Trails Action Committee, including first equestrian appointee in years
Summary
The board approved appointments and alternates to the 2026 Trails Action Committee: reappointing Steve Bacharach, Kathryn Mason and John Noble and appointing Sarah Jones as a new member; alternates were also appointed. The motion passed unanimously (5-0).
Staff presented the results of the 2026 Trails Action Committee recruitment and nominees, and the agency board voted to approve the recommended slate.
Miss Huber told the board the recruitment period opened February 10; staff received 12 applications during the 30-day window (four incumbents and eight new applicants). Two applicants withdrew prior to interviews; one additional candidate withdrew after interviews, leaving nine candidates considered by the nomination subcommittee.
The nomination subcommittee recommended reappointing Steve Bacharach, Kathryn Mason and John Noble and appointing Sarah Jones as a new member (terms to 2029). The subcommittee also recommended reappointing Jessica and appointing Drusilla Ansari, Bobby Langan and Chris Layton as alternates (terms to 2027). Huber described each nominee's trail experience and stewardship activities.
Directors asked about orientation and whether nominees must meet volunteer participation expectations; staff said orientation is planned immediately after the next meeting (June 1) and new appointees will be informed about program options and expectations, including choices among trailhead outreach, Trail Watch, and other volunteer programs.
Action: Director Sullivan moved and Director Angler seconded to accept the nominations. The board approved the appointments by roll call, 5-0. No speaker cards were submitted on this item.
