Agoura Hills Coalition asks Businesses to take Survey

The City of Agoura Hills’ Community Services Coalition (CSC) is asking local business owners to participate in a short, online survey focused on quality-of-life topics related to operating a business in the city. The survey is an opportunity for business owners and their employees to rate issues such as parking, cleanliness, safety and appearance at their location, as well as contribute their own comments and/or suggestions.

In 2016, the CSC conducted a Quality of Life Survey directed at residents. Among the improvement areas cited by the community were updating older shopping centers and having them offer more independent restaurants and stores. The follow-up survey allows business owners to provide feedback on these retail-related issues. The CSC will report the survey results to city council to assist in future decision-making on modernizing the city’s older shopping areas.

“The community desires attractive public spaces with stores and restaurants that retain Agoura Hills’s valued small town image. The surveys will help us move forward in making Agoura Hills stand out as a retail, dining and entertainment destination,” said Mayor Bill Koehler.

The link to the Agoura Hills Business Survey is https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/AHBusinessSurvey. The CSC is asking that businesses respond by August 30, 2018. The survey link is also accessible through the city’s email blasts and Facebook page.

CSC was formed in 2012 to address issues that will help sustain and promote the quality of life in Agoura Hills. The changing population and has been instrumental in providing feedback, developing services, and recommending programs that appeal to all age groups, including teen and senior populations. Current coalition members, Joice Corridori, Sue Lepisto, Russ Sharp and Devon Rosenheim, are active, long time residents who have a collective background in government, business, law enforcement, education, and psychology.
