Councilmember David NewmanTonight the Thousand Oaks City Council unanimously approved its 2026 committee assignment roster.
Each councilmember represents your interests on a number of internal and external panels and commissions. These panels tie our city into regional, statewide, and national organizations where we meet colleagues, talk through issues of mutual concern, and learn of new solutions that directly benefit Thousand Oaks residents.
My assignments for the coming year include:
- Capital Facilities Committee (internal)
- Conejo Open Space Conservation Agency (COSCA)
- Clean Power Alliance (CPA, also serve on CPA’s Finance Committee)
- Ventura Council of Governments (VCOG)
- Ventura County Regional Energy Alliance (VCREA)
- Ventura Regional Sanitation District (VRSD, current chair)
- National League of Cities Energy, Environment, and Natural Resources Committee (NLC EENR)
- League of California Cities Environmental Quality Committee (Cal Cities EQ)
Most of the assignments are identical to last year’s. There are a few exceptions:
- Mayor pro tem Engler and I swapped positions on VCOG, where I now serve as primary delegate and he serves as alternate.
- Councilmember Gutierrez picks up new assignments: On the Ventura County Continuum of Care board; on NLC’s Finance, Administration, and Intergovernmental Relations Committee (FAIR); and on the board of Community Action of Ventura County (applied for and approved by the county Board of Supervisors).
