Agoura Hills : Plans Advance for Regional Center
The cities of Agoura Hills and Calabasas are moving forward with plans for a $3-million regional gymnasium and community center.
Agoura Hills has selected six representatives to a 15-member design committee, which will hold its first meeting Oct. 17 at Agoura Hills City Hall. Calabasas is expected to choose six representatives tonight at City Hall.
Agoura Hills City Council members Fran Pavley and Ed Corridori are on the committee, as is Fred D’Astoli, a member of the city’s Community Services Advisory Committee. Other representatives include community members Dana Arnold, James Bukowski and Kirk Allegro.
Lt. Mike Ford represents the Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station; Don Zimring, the Las Virgenes Unified School District, and Ed Kurtz, Los Angeles County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky.
The facility will occupy 4.5 acres near the Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station on land purchased with $450,000 in county funds set aside for parkland and construction of parks. The remainder will come from Proposition A funds, a park bond act passed in 1992 in Los Angeles County.
The site could accommodate a 26,000-square-foot building, which officials estimate would cost about $3 million. Officials say they believe the project will take about a year to complete.
