Calabasas has been my home town since 1986. In 1999, I was elected to my first term on Council with a long history of community involvement. I brought experience working on our city's most complex land use issues, including our city's General Plan, lobbying for the Las Virgenes Scenic Corridor and award-winning Gateway Master Plans, as well as the Calabasas Landfill and North Area Plan.
My role has been pivotal in defending against the massive Ahmanson Ranch. It would add 45,000 more cars a day onto our already congested streets, destroy the Malibu Creek Watershed, and allow another city to use at our taxpayers' expense our police, fire, paramedics, sewers and roads.
That is why I assembled a coalition of over 82 homeowner associations and a long list of elected officials to help us share the costs of fighting to save Ahmanson Ranch into the Public Trust. Today, the cities of Malibu, Agoura Hills, Thousand Oaks, Los Angeles, County of Los Angeles, California's Attorney General, and respected environmental groups stand shoulder-to-shoulder with us in winning this important victory.
