Mayor Buckley Weber Addresses Constituents Online

AGOURA HILLS, CA — Mayor Ilece Buckley Weber offered recommendations, requirements, recognition, and reassurance in her second COVID-19 update on the City’s YouTube channel on Tuesday.

“We will get through this together, and hopefully the next stage of re-opening will come soon,” Buckley Weber assured her constituents.

The address began with a review of current L.A. County and Agoura Hills statistics. Buckley Weber noted that confirmed cases in Agoura Hills have remained at 20 for several days, adding that: “Our hearts are with the victims of COVID-19 and we reach out to their families, and just want them to know that they’re in our hearts and thoughts, so know that we’re here for you.”

Buckley Weber asked that residents remain invested in their community. She cited an April 29 Red Cross Blood Drive, and reminded residents that for the first time, they will be able to participate a virtual City Council meeting on April 22 at 6 p.m. using a state-approved call-in process.

“As you can imagine, the city must continue its non-COVID-19 work,” she said. “We need practice, and hope you will participate with us. Whether it’s your first meeting or hundredth meeting, join us, and give us your input.”

The mayor then confirmed that Las Virgenes Unified School District will continue distance learning through the end of the school year, and asked that residents not flush sanitizing wipes down the toilet, per the recommendation of the Las Virgenes Municipal Water District. She also assured residents that city water remains safe to drink.

Buckley Weber also reviewed the specifics of Governor Newsom’s stay-at-home order, noting that county beaches and hiking trails remain closed, face masks are required when engaging in essential services, and everyone is required to maintain six feet of distance from each other at all times, among other regulations. The mayor also noted the difference between safe zones (homes, cars, and yards) and exposure zones (anywhere with other people), and urged residents to wash their hands when returning to a safe zone from an exposure zone.

“This difficult journey is succeeding – our sacrifices have saved and protected lives,” she said. “The county has repeatedly thanked all of you for participating and cooperating."
