News Brief: New mayor in Thousand Oaks

On December 1, the Thousand Oaks City Council appointed councilman Joel Price to serve as city’s 35th mayor. The announcement was made following the annual State of the City Address given by outgoing mayor Al Adams. The appointment was expected, as the city rotates the mayoral post between council members every year.

Price hopes to focus on developing and revamping downtown Thousand Oaks.

“It is also important that we become creative and find new funding sources for our aging infrastructure,” Price said. “Thousand Oaks is truly the “gem” of Ventura County and it is the Council’s responsibility to make certain that we remain a wonderful place to live, work and play.”
