Mayor's Weekly Newsletter July 31, 2026 | Mayor James R. Bozajian
Post Date:07/31/2026 9:26 AMAs July comes to a close, Calabasas continues to offer a variety of opportunities to connect, celebrate, and stay informed. This edition includes an important message regarding the transition of the weekly Mayor's Newsletter, upcoming events, and important community reminders.
A Note on the Weekly Newsletter
Beginning next week, City Manager Kindon Meik will author the weekly newsletter. With the City's election period underway, this step keeps City communications clearly separate from the election process. The newsletter will continue on its regular Friday schedule with the same news, program updates, and community event information you receive now, and it will return to my authorship once that period concludes. Thank you for staying engaged with our community. Learn more about the upcoming election here.
