Mayor Innegren,

present Next is item 4 proclamations and commendations Item 4a is introduction of New Moorpark downtown deputy Krista Rubino with Ventura County Sheriff's Office Will Krista please join me at the front

Hello. How are you?

All right, Deputy Krista Rubino has worked with Ventura County Sheriff's Office since April of 2020. She has worked a variety of assignments which include working with the mental health population within the jails as a jail-based competency treatment program assigned deputy. Krista assisted with launching the Early Access Stabilization Service Program and was a key component in the launch of the Health and Programming Unit at the Todd Road Jail. Krista is also a member of the Tactical Response Team whose primary role is to respond to natural disasters in critical incidents with the County of Ventura.

Krista transitioned to patrol in the City of Moorpark in the summer of 2024 and has since then earned her role as the newest downtown liaison deputy. Krista has worked with the community members, business owners and stakeholders in all capacities of her career and a goal of creating a lasting impression of community safety and involvement.

Mind if I pull it down just a little bit? Hi guys, thank you so much. You know what the City of Moorpark has been very good to me. I really appreciate the community and the family dynamic that this community has. It's been very welcoming and I'm very appreciative to be able to work for you guys and with you guys. Thank you

Just real quick, I mean we're very fortunate to have Deputy Rubino. You heard just a little bit about her experience. She's bringing all that wealth of experience to Moorpark and helping out in our downtown space so very fortunate. I feel very lucky to have her here at the Moorpark Station. She's already doing amazing work in the downtown area as well as the rest of the community.

So again great to have you here Deputy Rubino

Next item is 4B, recognizing outgoing Assistant Chief Anthony Ocha-Pinty's departure and welcoming Division Chief Guillermo de la Rosa, Ventura County Fire Department. Will Assistant Chief Ocha Pinty and Division Chief de la Rosa please join me? Chief Ochapinty's promotion to Assistant Chief of the newly reorganized Training and Development Bureau will enable him to assume responsibility for managing all aspects of recruitment, training and professional development for all firefighters and civilian staff. Most recently, Chief Ochapinty served as Division Chief overseeing daily operations for the department. His 14-year fire service career began with the Ventura County Fire Department's hand crew, and he has served every rank in the department with assignments to both support and engine companies, as well as our wildland and aviation divisions.

Thank you, Mayor. I must say over the course of the past year it has been nothing short of just an incredible sense of fulfillment and having the opportunity to work at the pleasure of the Council and serve the citizens of Moorpark alongside the incredible city staff here has had a huge impression on me It's evident to me that public safety is a high priority in this city, and I just want to say thank you. It's been truly a pleasure. I'm looking forward to seeing all the initiatives of the city come to fruition, and I'm extremely confident that Chief De La Rosa will continue the awesome momentum we've built. So thank you.

We have a little surprise for you

on your

wall. Moorpark City Council does hereby recognize Division Chief Anthony Occiapinti upon his promotion to Assistant Chief with the Ventura County Fire Department and extends its sincere appreciation for his dedicated service to the city of Moorpark as fire chief and for his leadership and commitment to protecting and serving the Moorpark community. Thank you so much for all your work. Now I'd like to introduce Chief De La Rosa.

Division Chief Guillermo de la Rosa has served with the Ventura County Fire Department for more than 20 years, working in a variety of assignments and disciplines throughout Ventura County. Most recently he served as Battalion Chief overseeing the fire communications center before being promoted to division chief. He has built his career over the past 23 years on providing strong leadership and a desire to serve others. Chief De La Rosa will be assigned as the Moorpark Fire Chief while serving as the B-Shift Division Chief for the Ventura County Fire Department. Guillermo will have operational oversight of all five battalions across the county while on duty.

His role as the Moorpark Fire Chief, he will continue to build upon the strong relationships the fire district has with the city of Moorpark and its residents. Keen issues will include emergency response and readiness, fire prevention efforts, wildfire risk reduction, and liaising with a variety of partner agencies throughout the city. He holds a bachelor's degree in fire service administration and now serves as the fire department's representative to the City Council.

He looks forward to working with the city council, city staff and the City of Moorpark. Chief De La Rosa and his wife have three children are proud to call Ventura County home.

Thank you Mayor. I've always thought of the city of Moorpark as a wonderful community excellent city. I've always enjoyed working here as a firefighter engineer captain and battalion chief and I'm very much looking forward to continuing the progress that has been laid out, the foundation that's been laid and serving the community and working together with city staff. So thank you guys all very much.

All

right next item is 4C introduction of new fire marshal Kiley Telemba from Cherry County Fire Department. Kylie please join me. Yeah, come on back. Fire Marshal Kylie Tillamant will lead the department's Fire Prevention Bureau overseeing fire code enforcement, construction plan reviews, fire and safety inspections, permit administration and Ventura County Fire Department's nationally recognized Fire Hazard Reductions Program.

Kylie will also work closely with residents, businesses, developers and partner agencies to reduce wildfire and fire risk through proactive prevention education and code compliance. Fire Marshal Tillema brings more than a decade of progressive leadership experience in fire prevention, fire code enforcement and community risk reduction. Most recently she served with the Riverside County Fire Department where she advanced from Deputy Fire Marshal to Assistant Fire Marshal. Before joining Riverside County, Tillema served as the Contract Fire Marshal for the City of Beaumont where she managed fire prevention programs, plan reviews, inspections public education and code compliance initiatives.

Let's please welcome Kylie.

Thank you Mayor. I look forward to the opportunity to work with City staff, the community members and business owners and developers in the city. Moorpark seems like a wonderful place and my experience for the last two-and-a-half weeks in Ventura County has been absolutely amazing. I just look forward to continuing the efforts that my team has already started and continued here.

Thank you

Next item is five, public comment. Are there any speakers?

Good evening yes Mr. Mayor we do have a number of speakers this evening as this item is public comment all speakers have three minutes in which to address the council and I'll call the first speaker and tell you who's on deck next so our first speaker will be Jessica Assani I believe is the last name who will be followed by Emma

There are several of us here tonight because we care so deeply about Moorpark. We are raising our children, supporting local businesses and building our lives here for the long haul. We want the city's decisions to reflect the thoughtful close-knit community we know. Council as far as we know is scheduled to consider ALPR cameras in September We are here now so that you can hear from residents like me before that meeting in time to ask questions and examine the record.

I understand why they sounded useful when council approved them in 2024, a tool that could recover a stolen car or identify someone who committed a crime would naturally interest a city like ours. I believe the decision was made with public safety in mind in 2024 however We simply know much more now than we knew then. Moorpark authorized 15 fixed ALPR flop cameras and the records they collect are kept for one full year. Nearby Simi Valley keeps its records for 30 days.

When council approved the record, the cameras, the staff report said that Ventura County Sheriff's Office had chosen to share that information only with law enforcement agencies in California per California law. Then we learned that out-of-state agencies made more than 364,000 queries against Ventura County's flock network during a period in 2025 without the Ventura County Sheriff's Office approving it or even knowing that it was happening.

It also included 299 searches showing up in this data breach with the search term immigration. This broke California law VCSO believed National Lookup, the option had already been turned off but it hadn't. A few months later U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement otherwise known as ICE happened to conduct a large-scale enforcement operation in Ventura County.

That data breach changed the facts in front of you and should change the conversation moving forward Other California communities just like ours have revisited the same decision. Mountain View unanimously ended its 30-camera contract, Los Altos Hills began removing 31 cameras, Santa Cruz voted 6 to 1 to end its contract and right here in Ventura County Oxnard suspended all 19 fixed cameras after learning of the data breach that ultimately broke our state's law.

We hope you'll use the time before September to study these concerns that we bring to today and ask for the answers residents like me deserve. When this comes before you in September, please vote to remove Moorpark's fixed flock cameras before the contract ends in 2027. Thank you for your time this evening.

Thank you.

And our next speaker is Emma who will be followed by Chloe Shelton.

Good evening, my name is Emma and I'm a member of Moorpark Moms for Progressive Values. I am also a parent and a lifelong Moorpark resident. I grew up here and now I get to raise my baby here. Moorpark feels like a place where people watch out for one another and children grow up surrounded by neighbors who care. Like most parents, I spend a ridiculous amount of time in my car.

Each time we pass a fixed camera our car can be recorded although no one inside is suspected of anything. Moorpark's own staff report says that those records are kept for one year. One picture of my car on LA Avenue says very little, a year of pictures can reveal routines where I go when I leave where I return and who is usually with me and in this case it's my little baby I think about a local mother trying to stay safe from somebody who wants to hurt her.

Her car may be the easiest way to find her, and the child strapped into the backseat is part of that trail too. A Milwaukee officer used flock data 180 times to track his romantic partner and her ex. Another officer was placed on leave and charged with misconduct after allegedly using flat cameras to track his ex-girlfriend. In Florida, a sheriff's deputy used the system to track and pull over a woman he met while working security on a TV film set.

Our phones collect information too but I can turn off location services, delete an app or leave Facebook. Driving through my hometown is something that I have to do. Moorpark's cameras give me no way to opt out. I want my baby to grow up proud of a city that cares about safety in the fullest sense, including the safety of women and children whose routines this system could expose.

A year is too long to keep a searchable history of families who are simply living their lives. Before September please consider whose safety this data can risk then remove Moorpark's fixed flock cameras before the contract ends. Thank you.

And our next speaker is Chloe Shelton who will be followed by Carissa Shaw. Looks like Chloe

has her

handful.

It's three minutes for each of you, right?

Good evening. My name is Chloe and I'm a member of the Moorpark Moms for Progressive Values. I grew up in Moorpark and now I am raising my baby here. I love living in a city where people expect their word to mean something. When Moorpark tells residents that protection is in place, we should be able to rely on it. A company trusted with information about all of us should be able to account for where it goes.

That is why one part of this conversation keeps bothering me. When council approved these cameras, the staff report said that Ventura County Sheriff's Office had chosen to share FLOC data only with law enforcement agencies in California. VCSO has also said that it turned off FLOCs national lookup feature in June 2023 Yet during a period in 2025, out-of-state agencies made more than 364,000 queries against Ventura County's network.

BCSO says it neither approved nor knew about that access. Among the search justifications, 299 referred immigration enforcement. That use violated California law. VCSO believed that the setting was off, the protection residents were promised where promise was supposed to be there. Flock later said it's old technical logs could not fully explain what happened.

BCSO has since started daily audits and FLOC said it added safeguards. Yet those measures ask us to trust the same system and vendor that failed to provide the promised restriction for the first time. If a company protecting sensitive information allowed hundreds of thousands of unauthorized searches through a restriction both sides believes was working, I would reconsider that relationship.

Regardless of why I originally hired it. Oxnard reached that point after the same exposure. Its police department still recognized that ALPRs can still be useful, and it suspended all 19 fixed-flux cameras because public trust mattered more. Moorpark residents deserve that same care. We deserve technology that works as represented and a city willing to step back when it does not.

Council has time before the September meeting to ask how this happened, what remains unknown and whether new safeguards deserve our trust. When this comes before you in September please protect that trust and remove Moorpark's fixed flock cameras before the contract ends. Thank you for your

time.

Good evening. Thank you for being here. My name is Carissa. I'm a member of Moorpark Moms for Progressive Values. I have lived in Moorpark for over five years. My husband works for Moorpark Unified, so we are deeply involved and love the city of Moorpark. We all want to protect this city, so when I keep hearing that these cameras make Moorpark safer, I went looking for the numbers. In 2018, years before Moorpark installed the fixed flock network, the city's violent crime rate was 71% lower than California's and 59% lower than Ventura County's. Moorpark ranked third safest in California among cities with at least 25,000 residents. That record was built before these cameras arrived through community investment, effective local policing, engaged residents and neighbors looking out for one another.

Those are strengths I recognize in Moorpark. They make me feel safer than a private company collecting a year of our movements ever could. Moorpark Police also had license plate readers before Flock. The City's 2024 staff report says police had ALPR cameras mounted on three patrol cars for about 10 years. The report described ALPR technology helping detectives investigate a baby formula theft, the useful camera hit came from Simi Valley rather than Moorpark's new fixed network. I reached out to Ms. DeGago, and sorry, I've been talking to middle schoolers all day so I also, and pronouncing new names, and Mayor Enneagrin with my concerns about expanding the flock cameras and appreciated their quick response and encouraging replies. So I did appreciate that a lot.

Before the September meeting please ask how many more park cases have these 15 fixed cameras helped solve? How much crime have they actually prevented? What measurable benefit do they provide beyond the tools Moorpark already had? Those answers matter because Moorpark keeps a year of location information about ordinary people driving to school, work, church and medical appointments. And home.

Safety decisions should be supported by evidence. Before asking residents to accept that level of monitoring, the city should be able to show a clear and necessary benefit from this specific fixed network. I am proud that Moorpark was a safe city long before Flock arrived. I believe the strength of this community is worth trusting and the privacy of the people who make it strong is worth protecting. Thank you so much for your time.

And our next speaker is Alexis Lamowin followed by Nicholas, I'm going to mess this one up, Visheco.

Hello. Hi, everybody. My name is Alexis. I grew up in Moorpark. I've been here pretty much my whole life. I learned how to read about mountain meadows, went to prom at the Reagan Library like a lot of us did. And at home lately, I've been hanging out with my mom and we are part of Moorpark Moms for Progressive Values because I was raised by one. And at home, we've been discussing that Moorparks should not expand or continue using fixed Automatic license plate reader technology. We should not accept this surveillance as our new normal. I'm here to explain why the scope of data collected matters, how real instances of misuse show the risk and how this affects our community safety and personal privacy.

For instance, in one Texas county, flock data from 6,809 networks from over 83,000 cameras were used to locate a woman who was believed to have taken an abortion pill. The police department used fixed ALPR technology to target a person seeking a health procedure. The log search said had an abortion searched for female. This story shows that a privately owned tool can find anyone for any reason. And if vast data collection is the goal, then what exactly is the intended use?

Once the data exists then people will find new ways to use it. Flock camera access enables obsessive behavior and targeted tracking especially of women The Washington Post reported that at least 50 law enforcement officers have used license plate readers for unauthorized purposes, including stalking women without their knowledge or consent. Once you build a large database of where people's cars have been and when, who they go with, someone must ensure that every person with access to that information uses it properly for as long as the database exists.

Can Moorpark ensure anyone with access to our data will use it for the good of the people? Moorpark shouldn't have to wait for something that happens before deciding that this is too much information for us to be dealing with. I come to you as a woman in this community, a daughter, a sister and a friend. And I urge you to make this proactive choice against this level of observation. Council, you can decide if we want to keep expanding this database but I ask you to remove Moorpark's fixed cameras before the contract ends and refuse any fixed ALPR substitute. Thank you.

And I'm not going to mess up Nicholas's last name again. I'm not going to try. Following Nicholas will be Michelle Schroeder.

Good evening, my name is Nicholas Viecko and I am a friend of the Moorpark Moms for Progressive Values and I'm here to speak on why I think it would be in our best interest to remove the flop cameras. I respect the people who serve this city and good leadership means revisiting decisions when new information comes to light. Regarding these cameras, the actions of other California cities have set an example and Moorpark would be in good company saying we have learned more from them and we can choose a different path.

Mountain View had 30 fixed-flock cameras. Its own police department audited the system and found outside access that was not supposed to occur. The Police Chief had to shut down all 30 cameras. He acknowledged that they had helped solve some crimes, but he still had to turn them off because he no longer was able to trust them. Three weeks later, the City Council voted to end the contract removing them.

Los Altos Hills ended its contract and began removing its 31 cameras. Santa Cruz voted 6-1 to end its flock contract, and here in Ventura County Oxnard suspended all 19 of its fixed cameras after discovering that the company had broken state law in the Ventura County Flock Data Breach. Those leaders weighed the benefits against newly visible risks and decided the balance had changed.

That's the choice we're asking you to prepare for ahead of September. Changing course can show judgment, humility and care for the people that you represent. And we love this city. We want to tell our neighbors that when residents raised a serious concern over these cameras, the City Council listened and acted before anyone else here was harmed. There is clear precedent including from a neighboring city working within the same county.

Moorpark does not have to conduct an experiment with its residents' privacy to learn a lesson other communities have already learned. I grew up here, I graduated Moorpark High and I benefited greatly from the safety of this city. But that safety is based on a mutual trust between the citizens of this community and the leadership in law enforcement that we rely on.

In September, we ask you to please join those California cities that have voted to remove the flot cameras and vote to remove Moorpark's fixed flot cameras before the contract ends. Thank you very much.

And following Michelle Schroeder will be Janet Nickleby.

Good evening my name is Michelle Schroeder I'm a member of Moorpark Moms for Progressive Values and I think most importantly I've lived in Moorpark for over 25 years both my children were born and raised here we've truly appreciated the smaller safer close knit community of Moorpark it's why we chose here to raise our family and that's why we're still here.

My kids are now in college and they still come home We have spoken tonight because Moorpark is where we raise our children. It's where we shop, it's where we volunteer, it's where we built our lives. Coming here is how we show up for a city that we truly love. Our request before September is practical. These cameras came to Moorpark through a temporary state grant. Moorpark was allocated 15 cameras The 2024 staff report says that they cost about $3,300 per camera per year and the grant covers installation leasing and removal. The grant explains how the program began but it does not erase the privacy cost potential error rate or the council's responsibility to decide whether the program still serves Moorpark The agreement ends in May 31st, 2027 and it does not automatically renew.

The issue is scheduled for September so we're here early so you have time to investigate our concerns, request information and arrive prepared to act. Before September please direct the City Attorney and staff to answer one question. What is the earliest lawful way that Moorpark can have these fixed cameras removed? Please determine what Moorpark can do on its own, what requires cooperation from Ventura County and what notice must be given.

Please also ask staff for clear evidence of what these 15 cameras have contributed to public safety in Moorpark. At the September meeting please decline additional fixed cameras, a replacement system creating the same non-validated database and any extension beyond May 31st 2027. If the cameras can come down sooner we're asking for you to make that happen. Council members, this is an opportunity to protect the relationship between residents and our city.

Trust grows when leaders listen, ask hard questions, and respond to facts unavailable during the original vote. We came because we believe that you can do that. We want Moorpark to remain a place where safety and privacy work to work together, support one another and residents receive a fair hearing. Please use the time before September to get the answers Moorpark deserves then remove the fixed flock cameras at the earliest lawful opportunity before the contract ends.

Thank you.

Thank you.

And Janet Nickleby will be followed by Naseel Kanji.

Hi, I think all of you guys know me. For those that don't my name is Janet Knuckleby. I've lived in Moorpark for 25 years. I raised my children here and I always loved the safety of the city of Moorpark. We work together on a lot of issues. You know that I trust you. I respect all the work that you do and I hope you trust me when I come forward and bring my comments.

So my question to all of you really is along what everybody else says. What part of our lives can we accept an error rate of 30%? Would it be OK if your pharmacist gets things right, only a 30% error? I know manufacturers of those drugs. We don't accept that a 30 percent error is OK. Would it be OK if the person working on your car gets things wrong about 30% of the time?

Gosh, even if we go out to eat, are you okay if a third of the orders coming to you are wrong? LAPD audit showed that over 32% of alerts falsely labeled innocent driver's vehicle cars as stolen. To be clear, that means that the ALPRs got it wrong a third of the time. Is that really what we want for our residents? Is that the best we can do? I think we should all agree that a 30% error rate is unacceptable for any service.

But now, let me point out to you data from Roseville, California. It was reported in CNET this month. The police department in Roseville, California analyzed nearly 1,500 FLOC reports. The automatic readers frequently misread numbers, for example reading a 7 as a 1, an 8 as a 6, things like that. We do that, I do that when I read all the time. Their analysis showed a shocking 71% error rate. 71% error rate, is that something the city really wants to stand behind? Cancel those contracts as soon as we can. Thank

you.

And Nazil will be followed by Daniel.

Good evening. My name is Nazlin Kanji, and I'm proud to serve as president of Seroptimist International Simi Valley in Moorpark. And I'm not going to be talking about the cameras. For those of you who are not familiar with Seroptimist, we're part of a global organization dedicated to improving the lives of women and girls through education, empowerment, and opportunity. Our club proudly serves Simi Valley community for many years.

And this year we officially expanded our name to include Moorpark. We already have members who live and work in Moorpark, and we have served the community in Moorpark for many years as well. Both communities have benefited from our programs. Adding Moorpark to our name reflects a commitment to growing these relationships and making even a greater impact in this community.

Locally, we provide scholarships and educational grants for women and girls. We support young women through our Dream It Be It program, provide resources facing...for women facing difficult circumstances, raise awareness for human trafficking and partner with other organizations to address the needs in the community. One of our signature programs is your Live Your Dream Award, which provides financial grants and scholarships to women who are basically head of household and still continuing their education.

Those applications are currently open right now, and they are open through November 15th. There's information on our website about those applications, and I will make sure everybody gets a copy of our website information. We believe that when you give a woman or girl an opportunity to succeed it reaches far beyond her That one person. It strengthens the family, her children and ultimately the community. And one of the ways we're able to fund these programs is through our annual fundraiser. It's called Little Black Dress this year. I would personally like to invite you all of you to join us for a little black dress it's called Vela Note. It on September 17th at Walnut Grove in Moorpark I know there's a state of health care summit at the same time.

We just picked the right date, but if you're able we would love to have you join us. The funds we raise through Little Black Dress support all the programs, the scholarships and opportunities we provide to girls and women right here in our community as we grow our presence in both Simi Valley and Moorpark. Three minutes are up. Just wrap it up, okay? Thank you anyway I want to thank you for giving me this opportunity to talk to you. Thank you.

Thank you

And our next speaker under public comment is Daniel and I believe that's the last card I have under public comment So if there's any other speakers under public comment, please do submit your speaker card now

Anyone else? All right, cool. Public should be able to audit what we pay for it. Good evening Mayor, Council Members, staff. I want to begin by thanking the members of this community who have started reading these records and diving through them deep with me asking questions and starting a conversation outside brings expertise to the process in the deeper we look on the more the same concerns keep appearing scope creep cost creep consultant dependency weak record keeping technology expanding faster than public oversight Nowhere is that more important than surveillance. Flock Alpers are not simply traffic cameras, they create searchable records of vehicles moving through our community.

VCSO policy permits Alper use for official law enforcement purposes without requiring reasonable suspicion or probable cause before a search. This coincides with a time where more people had trials without their presence held via Zoom in our county. These practices should be alarming and the scope with which they are being encouraged and pushed upon us, with less and less outreach to the community to implement them concerns me. So I need Council and staff to be able to answer three different questions. What can law enforcement access? What are they legally and contractually allowed to share, and with whom? And what are they actually sharing today? Not what their virtue signaling. Not what the report says they can or may or shall. But what they're doing in practice.

Those are not the same question. Who can search the data originating from our Moorpark CalPERS? What agencies are currently on that sharing list? What interagency agreements authorize that access? Can federal agencies access it directly, indirectly or through another participating agency via a third-party agreement or data sharing agreement? Can you audit the logs proving the system is operating inside those boundaries? Because we've already seen evidence why wording alone is not enough. VCSO said national lookup was disabled, yet an audit later found that... Well, we all heard that fact already tonight. There's a difference between what a system is supposed to do and what it actually does. Now we're focusing on...

The fire report has mislabeled numbers in there that equate to propaganda for the implementation of the flock replacement from the sky. They cost 10 times as much as the drones that we currently have, which were being told they were being outsourced because they were made illegal. However if you look at the exact drones that we're told we had to get rid of under those causes, they don't appear to be any of those models at all so we're spending ten times as much on replacement drones provided by the DOJ that VCSO says they're not sharing data with.

Unsat, I got a bunch more but I have to address it as we go depending on what records got pulled because I can only ask that they get pulled. I can't say hey, can we talk about this stuff that has factual discrepancies? I love you all council. I appreciate you hearing me out. Thank you. Thank you

That was the final speaker?

And that is the final speaker I have under public comment.

Okay, I want to thank everyone who came out to speak tonight and regarding the licensed plate leaders I know we'll be talking about in September. Mr. Gallagher we talked about that today a little bit about what we'd be discussing during that meeting are we going to be able to address some of these concerns and talk about this in more in-depth than that?

Yes, Mayor. Regarding the Flock cameras we've obviously received questions about this and we'll be gathering information about it so I don't think we'll be ready for the September dates or either of those meetings but I'll be working with Chief Odenath so that we could properly get the questions find the information so that when we come back and present to you it will be a very comprehensive report and update.

Okay thank you Okay, next item is six. Reordering of and distance to the agenda. Does anyone need to pull anything from consent?

Yes, I would like to pull 8J and 8N. Was that M or N as in Nancy? N as in Nancy. Thank you.

Is it J and N? Okay. And I'd like to pull 8C, and I know 8E we need to pull for Mr. Castro or Dr. Castro. Thank you. And, I'd also like to pull 8K. Let me just

pull all of it.

Okay. Anything else? Next item is seven, announcements of future agenda items and reports on meetings and conferences attended by council members and mayor. We'll start with Mr. Barrett. He's the most organized with this one tonight.

July 2nd, I attended the marketing ad hoc meeting regarding the City Hall interior. On July 2nd I also attended the Clean Power Alliance board meeting. On July 3rd we had our wonderful Moorpark fireworks show which I was not at the actual event but I had the benefit of watching from my residence with a lot of friends and it's just a special event that we have here in Moorpark and bring so many people together even outside of the actual venue. So that was wonderful.

On July 7th, I attended the Moorpark Chamber Mixer at AvaCorp machine shop here in Moorpark on Maureen Lane. Great to see their operations and what's being built right here in Moorpark On July 9th, I attended the Regional Defense Partnership meeting. On July 17th, attended the Moorpark Chamber Networking Breakfast. On July 20th, along with the rest of you, attended the City Attorney interviews.

On July 22nd, I got to drive down to La Palma for the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority meeting and represent the city at that meeting. On July 23rd, I attended a ribbon-cutting. It's a little nontraditional to announce here but it was at one stop lighting in Agora Hills The owner of One Stop Lighting is a Moorpark resident and been a big supporter of the community. And it was great to see their business grow and improve, and that they bring those revenues back here and spend them on Moorpark businesses. So it was great to attend that event.

On July 28th I attended the Tri-County Chamber Alliance meeting. On July 29th I attended the Moon Valley Nurseries ribbon cutting Just outside the city limits on Tierra Jada. Great to see that operation grow and improve from the nursery that was there before, and they're doing great things so definitely check them out. On July 29th I attended the advisory board meeting for the teaching zoo at Moorpark College On July 29th, I also attended the joint meeting with the library board for goal setting.

On July 30th, they attended the marketing ad hoc meeting regarding the city's website. August 3rd through 9th, I got the pleasure of attending the Ventura County Fair. We had a presentation of the poster here in this room about a month ago, couple months ago maybe. And it was great to be there and spend time and my kids had raised goats for the fair so we were there all week. On August 11th, First ever Moorpark non-profit roundtable. This is a new meeting that the Chamber of Commerce is putting on, that will happen on a regular basis to help coordinate schedules so we don't have the issue with the Sir Optimus Littleback dress happening on the same day as healthcare forum, so things like that we can hopefully coordinate and prevent and work together stronger as a community of nonprofits.

On August 12th I attended the Moorpark Chamber board meeting.

Can we just encourage Councilman Barrett to get involved in the community once in a while? He's just taking these summers off. Do better, Councilman Barrett. Do better.

All right I cannot beat that. On July 2nd, I also attended the marketing ad hoc meeting with Councilmember Barrett for interior of City Hall. On July 3rd along with my fellow council members here attended the Moorpark fireworks festivities at Tierra Rojada Park On July 17, I attended the Chamber of Commerce Networking Breakfast. On the 29th, I attended the Moon Valley Ribbon Cutting and also the Special Joint Council Library Board meeting.

On the 30th,I attended the Marketing Ad Hoc Committee along with Councilmember Barrett. On August 3rd, I attended the Sheriff's National Night Out. That is such a wonderful community event and I'm extremely glad to see it growing every year. On August 4th, I attended the Chambers Networking Mixer at Los Robles Imaging Center and we are so lucky to have such a great place in our community for imaging. They're extremely welcoming and quick. It's great to get all my imaging done there.

Unfortunately, I've had to do it a bunch with some broken feet in the last couple of years. So I know them well. On August 8th, I attended the ribbon cutting for Legree Restoration which is the first business to open at High Street Depot and if you're looking for a workout, I can tell you firsthand that I did take a class there and I could barely walk for about two days so it is extremely intense workout. It's really great workout. I highly recommend it On the 12th, I attended the Chamber of Commerce board meeting. On the 13th I attended the Moorpark Young Professionals at California Bun. Also great to see that group continuing to grow.

We meet the second Thursday of every month at different Moorpark restaurants and on the 17th I attended the ribbon-cutting at Second Chance Thrift which is a wonderful store whose proceeds are all going towards funding a teen center here in Moorpark.

>>:Thank you, Mr. Mayor. A couple of these are previously mentioned. July 3rd fireworks event, the 20th of the attorney interviews. July 28th I think he said was the joint meeting with the library board. Before that on July 15th attended the immigration stakeholder meeting and then on August 3rd attended the Sheriff's National Night Out events. That's all I have. Thank you.

Mr. Means any library tours in Europe?

Nothing to report at this time. No, that's not true. I went to Chicago and did not get to the Chicago Public Library. I'm very upset about that but that's what's not reported. Here's what is reported. Previously mentioned apologies to the city clerk if I go too fast. On the 3rd our Moorpark fireworks extravaganza is always an incredible community event. Kudos to the city staff for putting that on for the community for coming out. On 14th I attended the Moorpark library board meeting On July 17th, I attended a business networking event at Morehart Farms and got a tour of the farms and all of the animals that are being saved and rescued and live there.

I don't think Councilman Barrett mentioned that one but he deserves credit. He was there too. On the 20th, I attended the city attorney interviews along with other members of council. On the 29th, they attended the teaching zoo advisory board meeting for Moorpark College. I also attended the Moon Valley Nurseries ribbon cutting at the Chamber of Commerce. And attended the joint library board city council goal setting meeting, all of that on the 29th.

On the 3rd of July...on the 3rd of August I attended the Moorpark Police Services National Night Out. You mentioned it before what an incredible event and I got ice cream so wonderful experience and the officers knew how to keep a Tom happy. On the 6th of August, I attended the Moorpark State College. Such a cool event to see how our community members can both grow up here and as adults return back and further their education and the opportunities that come for those individuals and the opportunities that come for us as a community Because they're offering not just associates degrees and certificates, but now bachelor's programs It's really really cool stuff coming out of there. It's always a pleasure and then I Got lost on my oh there it is on the 11th of August.

I too was at the chamber of Moorpark Chamber of Commerce commerce nonprofit roundtable You want an hour of inspiration over a lunch hour, attend that. You've got 30 different people all involved in our community giving their time, their effort, their energy, their money to make the world a better place and you just leave inspired wondering what else can I do to make an impact? So kudos to all of them.

Thank

you.

OK, so myself, 10 of the July 3rd fireworks and that was as always a wonderful event. Great run about the whole family. No complaints. Love that one. July 7th, I attended the Chamber Mixer at Abicorp Machine Shop. Great shop if you're looking for precision machine parts that's a place to go. Actually used them a couple times for the brewery and their owner actually just taught me how to use a lathe and I bought my own so now I'm doing that myself but wonderful place good to see them that day. July 17th, attended the Chamber Networking Breakfast And then July 29th, I also attended the Moon Valley Nursery ribbon cutting and also the library joint meeting.
