Agoura Hills council honors volunteers and community groups, approves consent calendar 5-0
Summary
At its July 8 meeting the Agoura Hills City Council named Water Wings Swim School business of the month, honored volunteer coordinator Jody Reagan and Captain Eric Haupt as Older American of 2026; received county and CPA updates; and approved the agenda and consent calendar by unanimous votes.
Agoura Hills Mayor Wolf convened the July 8 City Council meeting with ceremonial recognitions, administrative votes and informational reports from county and regional partners.
The council recognized Water Wings Swim School as the July business of the month. Sam Valenzano accepted the honor and thanked the community for support. The mayor highlighted the swim school's role teaching water safety and noted national reporting that drowning is a leading cause of death among children ages 1 to 5.
Jody Reagan was named the city’s Volunteer of the Month. The mayor said Reagan coordinates more than 300 volunteers for city events such as Ray’s Adobe Days and other recreation programs; council members praised her longtime service and noted the opportunities the city provides for middle- and high-school volunteers. Reagan said she appreciates the honor and encouraged residents to take part in volunteer opportunities.
Captain Eric Haupt was recognized as Agoura Hills’ Older American of 2026. Mayor Wolf cited Haupt’s decades of community service and leadership of the volunteer-run bookseller nonprofit. Haupt told the council the bookseller has raised approximately $1,500,000 for the library and operates with very low overhead, with nearly all proceeds returned to library programs.
The council then received an intergovernmental update from Daniel Vicente, field representative for Los Angeles County Supervisor Lindsay Horvath. Vicente summarized recent county actions including a board motion to streamline restaurant permitting and plan checks, a welcome home for the county’s urban search-and-rescue team that deployed to Venezuela, a reminder that the Agoura Hills library can serve as a county cooling center (see ready.lacounty.gov/heat and 211 for hours), and board approval to establish an independent county ethics commission in follow-up to Measure G.
On city business, Council member Sylvester moved and Council member Anstead seconded approval of the agenda; the motion passed on a roll call vote, 5-0. Later the consent calendar was adopted after a motion by Council member Anderson and a second from Mayor Pro Tem Klein Lopez; that motion also passed 5-0. The council heard no public comments (none were submitted in person or via Zoom), praised the recent patriotic drone show and concert as a community success, canceled the July 22 regular meeting, and scheduled the next regular meeting for 6 p.m. Wednesday, August 12 at the Civic Center, 30001 Lady Face Court, Agoura Hills.
The meeting included no contested votes, ordinances or land-use decisions; the substantive items were recognitions and informational reports.
