Week In Review: Mountain Lions Here, Hair There

This week, the City Council voted to amend the Ladyface Mountain Specific Plan to accommodate one office building on Agoura Road, and Patch gave you the scoop on the Hilton Foundation's plans to build its new complex below the peak.

Here's a look at those stories and everything else that went down in town from June 21 to June 26.

MONDAY

We started the week off with video coverage of Sunday's rummage sale at the Agoura Hills/Calabasas Community Center, as well as Ladyface Alehouse's win at the International Beer Festival.

Ellen Wohl shared with Patch why she loves Agoura Hills. The pet of the week was Hallie, a 4-year-old Chihuahua mix.

TUESDAY

Intern Susan Hampar covered the first day of the city of Agoura Hills' beach bus to Zuma, in addition to a profile of volunteer extraordinaire Wohl.

Sports coverage included pony baseball and the Valley Invitationals, which did not bode so well for Agoura.

WEDNESDAY

Breann Kline welcomed summer in her Motherload: Summer Daze. 

Stories focused on city staff agreeing to a  raise freeze, a boisterous meeting of the Las Virgenes Unified School District board and a National Park Service study based on three mountain lion cubs found just south of Peter Strauss Ranch.

THURSDAY

The City Council voted to amend the Ladyface Mountain Specific Plan solely for the development of an office building along Agoura Road. Caltrans is planning to build a wildlife corridor near the Liberty Canyon offramp from the 101 freeway.
