Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Laguna Hills public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Library Services and Children's Reading
Wheeler reported the county library board couldn't reach quorum on new bylaws, a library refurbishment may be coming, and Pezold floated using library funds for a tutor pilot program for low readers — though Wheeler noted reading instruction is a school district function.
2028 Olympic community hub proposal
Mayor Caskey floated hosting an Olympic community viewing hub at Heritage Park in 2028, with potential SCAG funding of $100,000-$500,000. Councilmembers expressed interest, and the city is also in talks to host national team training.
Harvest in the Hills event
Saturday's second annual Harvest in the Hills runs 4-6 p.m. on the Town Green, free to the public, with five sponsors, pie-eating contests, a magic show and a first-ever stage.
Laguna Hills Lions Club formation
Vice Chair Huggins is recruiting 20 members to charter a new Laguna Hills Lions Club to support city projects and community service, with a table at Saturday's Harvest in the Hills and estimated dues of $35 to join and about $200 a year.
Tentative 2027 events calendar
Staff want to concentrate volunteer events into April, hold a June city open house, move movies in the park to October for better attendance, and add a European-style holiday market with the tree lighting — all still tentative pending budget adoption.
