Councilmember Rob McCoy Has Resigned from the Thousand Oaks City Council
/Councilmember Rob McCoy has resigned his seat on the Thousand Oaks City Council effective immediately. Originally elected to the City Council in 2015, McCoy served as Mayor from December 2018 through December 2019.
In commenting on the resignation, Mayor Al Adam said “Rob was a voice of strength and healing as the City recovered from two simultaneous tragedies - Borderline and Woolsey Fire. I appreciate his contributions and wish him and his family well. While these circumstances are unfortunate, the remaining members of the Council and I are very much focused on moving forward.”
Based on the City’s ordinance for filling vacant seats, it is likely that the seat will remain vacant until filled during the upcoming November election.
Spoke w/ Mayor Al Adam this AM. Told me McCoy texted council last night to tell them.

“I think he’s doing the right thing,” Adam said of the resignation. “He can’t be an elected official and at the same time go forward with this (the communion). . . Now he’s a private citizen.”
