The Addendum to the Final MND was prepared pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA, Public resources Code §§ 21000, et seq.), the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 California Code of Regulations, §15000, et seq., CEQA Guidelines), and the City’s Environmental Review Guidelines.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF OXNARD:

SECTION 1. The Recitals above are true and correct and incorporated herein by this reference.

SECTION 2. The City Council finds that the Tentative Subdivision Map is internally consistent with the provisions of the City of Oxnard 2030 General Plan 695
Resolution No. 2021-XX- PZ No. 20-300-02[Tentative Subdivision Map #6064] City Council Hearing Date: April 19, 2022

Page 5 of 22 ends

SECTION 3. The City Council finds that the Tentative Subdivision Map will not be detrimental to the public interest, health, safety, convenience, or welfare of the City.

SECTION 4. The City Council finds that the Project site associated with the Tentative Subdivision Map is physically suitable in terms of design, location, operating characteristics, shape, size, topography, and the provision of public and emergency vehicle access, and public services and utilities and is served by highways and streets adequate in width and improvement to carry the kind and quantity of traffic the proposed use would likely generate, to ensure that the proposed use(s) and/or development will not endanger, jeopardize, or otherwise constitute a hazard to the property or improvements in the vicinity in which the property is located.

SECTION 5. The City Council determines that the residential project is the best use for the subject project site.

SECTION 6. The City Council determines that the Tentative Subdivision Map is in the best interests and welfare of the City and its residents.

SECTION 7. In adopting this Resolution for the Tentative Subdivision Map, the City Council finds and determines the project is in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act because an Addendum to the Mitigated Negative Declaration (Final MND 2004-11) that was prepared for the 2004 Dunkirk Drive Project was considered by the City Council at the public hearing for the Portofino Place project. The Addendum to the Final MND was prepared pursuant to the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA, Public resources Code §§ 21000, et seq.), the regulations promulgated thereunder (14 California Code of Regulations, §15000, et seq., CEQA Guidelines), and the City’s Environmental Review Guidelines. The City of Oxnard is the Lead Agency. The Addendum is appropriate pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15164 since only minor changes and additions to the MND are necessary to address the Project changes and no circumstances exist calling for the preparation of a subsequent negative declaration pursuant to CEQA Guidelines § 15162 and 15163. With implementation of the MND 2004-11 mitigation measures, there is no substantial evidence that the proposed project will have a significant effect upon the environment.

SECTION 8. Based on the entire record before the City Council and all written and oral evidence presented, including the City Council Staff Report and all attachments thereto, the City Council finds:

Consistent with California Government Code Section 66474, a legislative body of a city or county shall deny approval of a tentative map, or a parcel map for which a tentative map was not required, if it makes any of the following findings:
(a) That the proposed map is not consistent with applicable general and specific plans as specified in Section 65451.

As described in the staff report, the project site currently has a 2030 General Plan land use designation of Business Research Park (BRP) and a zoning of Business Research Park (BRP). As part of this proposal, the project is concurrently requesting a General Plan Amendment to change the land use designation BRP to Residential Medium (RM) and a Zone Change from Business Research Park to Multiple-Family (R-2). If the aforementioned General Plan Amendment and Zone Change are approved, the proposed subdivision, inclusive of the 90, two-story condominium dwelling units each with attached 2-car garages, 214 total visitor parking spaces, common swimming pool and playground area, 3,281 square-foot recreation building, entry gates and perimeter walls, private roads, detention basins, landscaping and associated site improvements at the subject project site would be consistent with the policies and provisions of the 2030 General Plan because the proposed land use of the project is of a multi-family use, which is an allowed use pursuant to the Residential Medium (RM) land use designation of the 2030 General Plan Plan. The subject project site has an area of 7.61 acres which allows a maximum of 94 residential units; however, the project is requesting to construct 90 residential units. The project density at 90 residential units is equal to 12 units per acre which is consistent with the RM land use designation of 12 to 18 units per acre. The subdivision of the project site as proposed with 90 condominium units and associated site improvements would be consistent with the 2030 General Plan if the associated General Plan Amendment is approved. Additionally, the condominium units have been designed to meet the required development standards identified in the R-2 zone (Multiple-Family) and all of the advisory standards contained within City Council Resolution No. 7658 that are intended to encourage amenities that enhance the livability of condominiums with the exception of the required 10-foot by 10-foot dimensions for private patios; however, the land area of the project’s private patios ranges from 450 to 1,530 square feet which exceeds the minimum land area of 100 square feet provided by private patios. Therefore, the project is in conformance with the 2030 General Plan and the elements thereof and other adopted standards. No specific plan is applicable to the subject site. Therefore, the project does not meet this finding which means the Project can be supported. (b) That the design or improvement of the proposed subdivision is not consistent with applicable general and specific plans.

As described in the staff report, the design and improvement of the proposed development is consistent with applicable provisions of the City’ 2030 General Plan because the proposed subdivision and development of the multi-family residential use supports the proposed development improvements, with the required infrastructure. Additionally, the proposed subdivision has been designed to meet the required minimum lot area and density identified in the R-2 zoning (Multiple-Family) as prescribed by the 2030 General Plan land use designation of Residential Medium. No specific plan is applicable to the subject site.

Additionally, the design and improvements of the project will provide for development that furthers the intent of the Housing Element to realize the potential of neighborhood improvements that increase housing opportunities in the Sea View Estates Neighborhood.

As such, the project does not meet this finding which means the Project can be supported. 697

As described in the staff report, the site is physically suitable for the proposed type of development because the division of land includes a residential project that is consistent with the Multiple-Family (R-2) development standards and has been designed to be architecturally compatible with the character of the surrounding neighborhood. The site is physically suitable for the proposed type of development because the site is relatively level and an environmental assessment of the site did not find any soil or geologic conditions that would make the site physically unsuitable for development. The site is not subject to soil and/or geologic conditions indicating substrate instability. As proposed and conditioned, the project will be consistent with the 2030 General Plan land use designation of Residential Medium which the project is seeking a General Plan Amendment concurrent with the Tentative Subdivision Map, which requires residential uses to be designed pursuant to the R-2 development standards such as: parking, minimum lot area, density, side yard setback and height. The subject site is adequate in terms of size, and is designed to meet the development standards prescribed in the R-2 zone. Additionally, the project has been reviewed by the Development Advisory Committee and was determined that it would have no significant impact on the public health, safety, or welfare and the project plans have been reviewed by all applicable departments and outside agencies, which include the Oxnard Police and Fire Departments. Based on the aforementioned, this project does not meet this finding which means the Project can be supported. (d) That the site is not physically suitable for the proposed density of development.

As described in the staff report, the project is concurrently requesting a General Plan Amendment to change the land use designation BRP to Residential Medium (RM) and a Zone Change from Business Research Park (BRP) to Multiple-Family (R-2). The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of the development because the project is being designed to be in conformance with the density allowed under the 2030 General Plan land use designation of Residential Medium and the R-2 zoning. The subject project site has an area of 7.61 acres which allows a maximum of 94 residential units; however, the project is requesting to construct 90 residential units. The project density at 90 residential units is equal to 12 units per acre which is consistent with the RM land use designation of 12 to 18 units per acre. The site is physically suitable for the proposed density of development because it is located within a developed urban area and will be served by existing adequate public utilities as identified in the Addendum to the adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration 2004-11. Additionally, there are no identified physical constraints that would prohibit development of the proposed residential project. Therefore, the project does not meet this finding, which means the Project can be supported. (e) That the design of the subdivision or the proposed improvements are likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat.

Resolution No. 2021-XX- PZ No. 20-300-02[Tentative Subdivision Map #6064] City Council Hearing Date: April 19, 2022

Page 8 of 22 ends

As described in the staff report, the design of the proposed land division and parcel improvements is not likely to cause substantial environmental damage or substantially and avoidably injure fish or wildlife or their habitat because it is located within a developed urban area of the City that contains no environmentally sensitive habitat and/or species as identified in Addendum No. 1 to Final MND 2004-11. The project site is not considered to be conducive to important biological resources or their habitat. Additionally, the project site does not have any natural standing bodies of water, riparian habitat, or other sensitive natural communities. Federally protected wetland communities are not thought or known to exist on the site and the project site is not located within a Biological Resources Area which is known or thought to meet habitat needs for plants and animals or promote wildlife migration or movement. Additionally, the project is not designated nor determined to be an Environmentally Sensitive Habitat Area. As such, the project does not meet this finding which means the Project can be supported.
(f) That the design of the subdivision or type of improvements is likely to cause serious public health problems.

As described in the staff report, the project would involve the construction 90, two-story condominium dwelling units, inclusive of 9 affordable units each with attached 2-car garages, 214 total visitor parking spaces, common swimming pool and playground area, 3,281 square-foot recreation building, entry gates and perimeter walls, private roads, detention basins, landscaping and associated site improvements that are not anticipated to use or store large quantities of hazardous materials. However, potentially hazardous materials such as fuels, lubricants, and solvents would be used during grading and construction of the proposed project, but their use and disposal would be to applicable standards and law so as to not create environmental or health issues. The design of the subdivision is not likely to cause serious public health problems because, as indicated by Finding 2.a above, it would utilize existing adequate public utilities, namely water and sewer.

Construction activities, anticipated uses, and development design will be subject to standard construction requirements of the Building, Fire, and Traffic Codes. Additionally, the project has been reviewed by the Development Advisory Committee and was determined that it would have no significant impact on the public health, safety, or welfare and the project plans have been reviewed by all applicable departments and outside agencies, which include the Oxnard Police and Fire Departments. Consequently, this project does not meet this finding, which means the Project can be supported. (g) That the design of the subdivision or the type of improvements will conflict with easements, acquired by the public at large, for access through or use of, property within the proposed subdivision. In this connection, the governing body may approve a map if it finds that alternate easements, for access or for use, will be provided, and that these will be substantially equivalent to ones previously acquired by the public. 699

This subsection shall apply only to easements of record or to easements established by judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction and no authority is hereby granted to a legislative body to determine that the public at large has acquired easements for access through or use of property within the proposed subdivision.

As described in the staff report, the design of the proposed land division and parcel improvements will not conflict with easements, acquired by the public-at-large, for access through or use of property within the subdivision because, as conditioned, no buildings would be located in the area of the existing public utilities easements, all blanket easements or other easement that are no longer needed by the City shall be abandoned, and there is no need for new or additional easement(s) for the public-at-large. The project site is currently vacant. Additionally, the land division has been configured to continue to allow for Portofino Place, which currently bisects the parcel, to provide access to the residences in the Oxnard Sea View Estates Neighborhood which is accessed off of Fifth Street and Dunkirk Drive. As such, this project does not meet this finding which means the Project can be supported.

SECTION 9 This Resolution shall not become effective unless and until the City Council adopts the Addendum to Mitigated Negative Declaration 2017-04 and approves the associated General Plan Amendment (PZ No. 20-620-02), and Zone Change (PZ No. 20-570-02). If the City Council fails to approve the General Plan Amendment or Zone Change, then this Resolution shall become null and void and be of no further force and effect.

SECTION 10. Based on the findings set forth herein, the PCity Council hereby approves Planning and Zoning Permit No. 20-300-02 (Tentative Subdivision Map), subject to the attached conditions of approval.

SECTION 11. The Secretary shall certify the adoption of this Resolution.

BACKGROUND
As an entitlement city, the City of Oxnard receives formula grant funding from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, Community Planning and Development grants for Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships Act (HOME) and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) every year. To receive 726
these Entitlement Grants the City of Oxnard must prepare, submit, and receive approval of a five-year Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plan and Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing. On occasion, amendments and substantial amendments of these plans are required pursuant to the criteria set forth in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 24 CFR 91 and the City of Oxnard’s Citizen Participation.

Plan. Amendments to an Annual Action Plan require that the Plan be amended whenever the following occurs:

1. A change in its allocation priorities or a change in the method of distribution of funds occurs;

2. A decision to carry out an activity using funds not previously described in an action plan covered by the consolidated plan (including program income, reimbursements, repayment, recaptures, or reallocations from HUD); or

3. A change in the purpose, scope, location, or beneficiaries of an activity occurs.

Amendments will be considered substantial changes and require official action if:

1. Grant funds are allocated to a new activity for the first time;

2. A funding increase in a current activity, or a change in the use of funding from one eligible activity to another, of more than $100,000 in CDBG or HOME funding, or more than $30,000 in ESG funding; or if;

3. A funded activity is cancelled during the program year.

Amendments may also occur when the City of Oxnard has too many slow-moving projects with high dollar amounts.

This causes a timeliness concern, where HUD requires each city to expend funds within each fiscal year and not have more than 1.5 times of the annual award in its CDBG account.

For purposes of this amendment, funding new or shovel-ready projects would support lowering the amount of funds in the CDBG account.

Community Development Block Grant Amendments – Projects Closing There are a total of five projects or programs that are slow-moving, and therefore the funds will be closed and reallocated to projects ready to proceed between now and the close of the fiscal year. Those projects/programs are:

Thrive Mentorship House: The Thrive Mentorship House was unable to submit the initial documentation to comply with the preliminary requirements of the City and HUD.

Park Playgrounds: The three playground projects – Johnson Creek Playground, Sierra Linda Park Playground, and Thompson Park Playground – will be unallocated because 1) the projects awarded in 2021-2022 have not started, despite being in the third quarter of the fiscal year and 2) Public Works has been awarded a total of nine projects between 2018 and 2021, and none have been completed to date. The three projects total $700,953. There are six remaining funded Public Works projects.

Rehabilitation Loan Program: The Affordable Housing and Rehabilitation Division (AHRD) was successfully able to complete eight down payment assistance loans, however the rehabilitation program was on hold due to the HUD monitoring review, therefore no funds were spent for the year.

Community Development Block Grant Amendments – New Projects The funds from the above five projects/programs will be allocated to two projects:

1. Cuesta Del Mar - The amendment to the 2021 Annual Action Plan includes the newly proposed project, Cuesta del Mar, a long-term, time-limed pocket park within the Southwinds neighborhood that will provide various workshops, create gardens, and hold community events – all organized by the LUCHA organization. The request was initiated by neighborhood representatives and with some help from the city in navigating through the permits process and a few 727
corporate sponsors. The property will be developed with storage freights, garden spaces, and event spaces for community-led activities. The project has been approved by Council in the past, whereas now funding has been identified to support it. The LUCHA organization has asked for $20,000 for assistance through CDBG funding.

2. Acquisition – The amendment would also add $700,953 for the acquisition of residential property to offer housing opportunities for otherwise homeless persons. It is anticipated that the acquisition will occur prior to June 30, 2022.

Consistent with the Council Priority to revitalize the "Hueneme/Saviers/Pleasant Valley/Channel Islands Corridors" staff is pursuing sites in South Oxnard.

Emergency Solutions Grant Amendments-CV – CARES Act Funds On October 6, 2020 City Council approved ESG-CV funding totaling $5,255,005, to support homeless programs such as shelter operations, street outreach, homeless prevention, rapid re-housing to prevent, prepare, and responsive to COVID19 (2020 Annual Action Plan). The $651,589 in unallocated funds were made available for emergency shelter services and operations, inclusive of City of Oxnard participants. No additional applications were received for those funds.

To facilitate the spending of the funds by the September 30, 2022 deadline, the funding will continue to be allocated to support homeless programs and services but in different amounts and with different partners. The main change in this mid-year budget is that the "Administration and Planning" category of funds will be substantially reduced to $51,090 with the balance provided for the operation of the homeless shelter (Mercy House). Ventura County Health Services Agency will receive the unallocated funding that was part of the October 6, 2020 budget, in the amount of $651,589, for a grand total of $1,200,000, in addition to Turning Point Foundation receiving $52,549, both for emergency shelter services. For additional details on projects please see Attachment 1.

The PowerPoint presentation lists the projects and budget amounts for each ESG-CV program. There is a variation to the budget from the Committee presentation to the Council presentation. It reflects funds from the Administration and Planning line item to the emergency shelter programs, due to the Homeless Division assessing the need for more funds to these operations. Approximately $474,410 went to the emergency shelter category.

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
This agenda item supports the Quality-of-Life strategy. The purpose of the Quality-of-Life strategy is to restore and increase quality services and programs that enrich Oxnard's diverse community, promotes safe neighborhoods, encourages community engagement, and supports our residents in their efforts to improve their quality of life.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
There are no financial impacts to the City’s General Funds. The funds are provided within the CDBG and ESG-CV programs, respectively. There are no increases or decreases of the overall funding amounts, and the funds are being moved from slow- or no-performing activities to activities that are able to meet program objectives and utilize the funds.

COMMITTEE OUTCOME
The Community Services, Public Safety, Housing & Development Committee approved 2-0 on March 22, 2022, to approve the staff recommendation and to forward the item for Council approval.

BACKGROUND
Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) In response to the coronavirus pandemic, the United States Congress approved the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) bill to assist states, counties, cities, individuals and families with the economic impacts resulting from the Coronavirus. The bill was signed into law on March 27, 2020. Community Development Block Grant (CDBG-CV) and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG-CV) are funded by United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Community Planning and Development (CPD). The CARES Act requires that CDBG-CV funds be used to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the coronavirus with activities that are based on public health needs, risk of transmission of coronavirus, number of coronavirus cases compared to the national average, economic and housing disruptions, and other factors as determined by HUD Secretary. ESG-CV funds must be targeted to prevent, prepare for, and respond to the coronavirus pandemic among individuals and families who are homeless or receiving homeless prevention activities to mitigate the impacts of COVID-19.

City of Oxnard Allocations
730
To support the City of Oxnard’s responses to the coronavirus pandemic the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has awarded the following CARES Act grant allocations totaling $8,343,372. Total expected resources for each of the City of Oxnard grant programs from CARES Act funds are $3,088,367 for Community Development Block Grants (CDBG-CV) and $5,255,005 for Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG-CV).

The CARES Act grant allocations by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) require a deliberative procedure set forth by HUD that will merge the CARES Act funding with the City of Oxnard’s annual action plan, in either Plan Year 2019 or 2020.

CARES Act for Coronavirus Response Require a Substantial Amendment to the Annual Action Plan The purpose of this amendment is to apply for the allocated CARES Act funding. The City of Oxnard must prepare, submit, and receive approval of a substantial amendment. The amendment herein, will relate to the 2020 Annual Action Plan. Staff deliberated and coordinated identification of effective activities that will comply with the CARES Act requirements as well as the requirements of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development programs, CDBG-CV and ESG-CV. The amendment will be known as the “City of Oxnard CARES Act Amendment”. This amendment will be merged with the 2020 Annual Action Plan. The resulting coronavirus response “proposed activities” meet the mandates of the CARES Act as well as the compliance requirements of the applicable HUD programs.

On June 16, 2020, the City Council approved the 2020-24 Ventura County Regional Consolidated Plan and the 2020 Annual Action Plan. Both plans are expected to be approved by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in 1st quarter of fiscal year 2020-21. Immediately upon HUD’s approval of the 2020 Annual Action Plan, and City Council’s approval of this “City of Oxnard CARES Act Amendment”, the merged 2020 Annual Action Plan with CARES Act Amendment will be submitted online.

In accordance with the City's Citizen Participation Plan, a public hearing is scheduled to receive public comments. The public hearing is scheduled for October 6, 2020 to receive public comments on the Plan Year 2020 Annual Action Plan CARES Act Amendment, which became available to the public for a 19-day review period beginning September 17, 2020 (and ending on October 6, 2020). Notice of the Public Hearing date were published in the VIDA Newspaper on September 17, 2020 in Spanish and English. The Annual Action Plan is available is available electronically on the City's website.

Waivers to Facilitate CARES Act Funding from HUD.

To facilitate the amendment and eventual reimbursement of CARES Act grant funds, the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development announced that it will provide grantees program flexibility, waivers, and alternative requirements applicable to Coronavirus Response grants.

Staff requested from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, an approval for the use of the CARES Act waivers, regulatory flexibilities, and alternative requirements that will facilitate CARES Act related procedures. The waivers were approved effective September 5, 2020. The City of Oxnard is employing two regulatory waivers to expedite the CARES Act grant amendment process:

1.The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development has temporarily waived the requirement that a substantial action plan amendment requires an amendment to the consolidated plan for 2019 and 2020 CARES Act amendments. Thus, we are not required to seek to amend the 2020-24 County of Ventura Regional Consolidated Plan.

2.One of the waivers is employed in the CARES Act amendment process, that is, a waiver that suspends the 30-day noticing requirements in the City of Oxnard Citizen Participation Plan and allows a 5-day noticing period for the 2020 CARES Act amendment. To utilize this waiver, staff proposes the addendum herein to the City of Oxnard Citizen Participation Plan.
2020 Annual Action Plan CARES Act Proposed Activities
731
Available ESG-CV funding of $5,255,005, to support homeless programs such as shelter operations, street outreach, homeless prevention, rapid re-housing to prevent, prepare, and responsive d to COVID-19, totaling $5,255,005. CDBGCV funding is available to support eligible activities such as public facilities and improvements, public service activities to prevent, prepare, and respond to COVID-19, totaling $3,088,367.

Staff proposes activities that meet both United States Department of Housing & Urban Development program requirements and CARES Act COVID-19 requirements to prevent, prepare, and respond to activities that will benefit low to moderate income residents of the City of Oxnard. Staff consulted with Community, Housing and Economic Development Committee. The “Proposed Activities” are in Attachment 2.

Any amounts that are unallocated will be made available for other eligible activities to non-profit organizations and other eligible affordable housing, shelter and other program operators, inclusive of City of Oxnard participants.

Citizen Participation Plan Amendment
The U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) requires that Grantees provide opportunities for the public to comment on the proposed amendment of the Annual Action Plan. The plan must provide a summary of citizen comments or views on the plan, a written explanation of comments not accepted and the reasons why these comments were not accepted. In accordance with HUD’s regulatory requirement, the City of Oxnard City Council approved on July 10, 2018, the effective Citizen Participation Plan.

The Addendum to the Oxnard Citizen Participation Plan herein, incorporates the waiver suspending HUD’s 30-day noticing requirement and temporarily allowing an expedited 5 day noticing period for our 2020 CARES Act amendments, current and subsequent amendments. The Addendum to the 2020 Addendum to the Citizen Participation Plan allows City of Oxnard 5 day noticing period for the 2020 CARES Act amendments.

Since the notice period for this 2020 Amendment is 17 days, rather than the previously required 30 days, the 2020 Addendum to the Citizen Participation Plan ratifying HUD’s temporary allowance of a 5-day noticing period is necessary to meet the public notice requirements for annual action plan amendments. The 2020 Addendum to the Citizen Participation Plan is located on the Oxnard Housing Grants Management Division website: https://www.oxnard.org/citydepartment/housing/grants-management/.

Conclusion
The draft 2020 Annual Action Plan CARES Act Amendment and Addendum to the Citizen Participation Plan have been posted for public review, and the October 6, 2020 public hearing is for the purpose of providing members of the public with the opportunity to comment. The full reports are accessible at City of Oxnard Housing Department, Grants Management website: https://www.oxnard.org/city-department/housing/grants-management/.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The First Amendment of the 2020 Annual Action Plan will outline how the City plans to allocate Cares Act Coronavirus Response grant, CDBG-CV and ESG-CV. This includes CARES Act funds for HUD grant allocations of $3,088,367 in CDBG-CV and $5,255,005 for ESG-CV. The grand total of available resources is $8,343,372. When this item was presented to HEDC had only been notified of $1,514,428 in CDBG-CV funding, but a new allocation has just increased the total CDBG-CV allocation to $3,088,367. No additional ESG-CV funds were allocated since this was presented to HEDC. Following the public input to the Annual Action Plan CARES Act Amendment and Addendum to the Citizen Participation Plan, staff will return to City Council to amend the FY 2020-21 Budget.

AP-05 Executive Summary - 24 CFR 91.200(c), 91.220(b)

1. Introduction
The City of Oxnard is within Ventura County, California, located northwest of Los Angeles and southwest of Santa Barbara. Oxnard is the largest city in the county with the population of 209,877, according to the United States Census Bureau population estimates in 2018. The regulations of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) require that an Annual Action Plan (AAP) be submitted for each plan year within an agency's Consolidated Plan.

The City of Oxnard (City) joined the Ventura County Regional Consolidated Plan (Regional ConPlan) is a five year plan document covering five plan years from 2020-2024. The Ventura County Regional Consolidated Plan is a collaborative document between all incorporated cities and the unincorporated areas of Ventura County, California. Collaborating in the development of the Regional Consolidated Plan are the Cities of Camarillo, Fillmore, Moorpark, Ojai, Oxnard, Port Hueneme, Santa Paula, San Buenaventura (City of Ventura), Simi Valley, and Thousand Oaks. The Regional ConPlan document is to comply with the HUD requirement to submit the City of Oxnard's Annual Action Plan for plan year 2020.

In the Regional ConPlan, the priorities that need to be addressed for community development and housing needs of the City of Oxnard are identified. The AAPs annually identify the resources available to address those needs identified in the Regional ConPlan, describe the activities that will be undertaken designed to meet the annual goals and objectives that relate to the identified needs as determined in the Regional ConPlan, describe the geographic areas targeted for assistance, include the Citizen Participation Plan, and set the basis for performance monitoring whereby results are measured as goals accomplished and outcome indicators.

Goals and objectives of the community needs identified in the Regional ConPlan will be accomplished by activities specified by the City’s AAPs. With the 2020 AAP, the City will implement activities that continue to strive to derive positive outcomes that were set forth as goals for the Regional ConPlan period, Plan Year 2020. The current AAP will cover the period of July 1, 2020 to June 30, 2021 (plan year 2020). Herein are described the expected federal, state and local resources, the priorities and specific objectives the City desires to achieve, and the activities that will be undertaken throughout the 2020 plan year.

In recent years, the City’s allocation of entitlement grant funds from HUD has either increased or remained relatively unchanged. The Plan year 2020 allocations are; Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) $2,574,388 an increase of 2.3%, HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), $776,134 a increase of 6.8% and Hearth Emergency Solutions Grant (HESG), $221,083 an increase of 4.1%. Total HUD entitlement grant funds increased by 3.3%, to $3,571,605. 736
Annual Action Plan CARES Act Amendment
2020
4 The City's goals, as identified in the Regional ConPlan, can be found throughout this AAP, and are designed to principally serve extremely-low, low-, and moderate-income residents by addressing the following:
• Improve the Supply of Affordable Housing
• Enhance Economic Stability
• Increase Social Services
• Work to End Homelessness
• Create Quality Neighborhoods
• Effective Administration
The AAP describes the resources expected to be available in the coming program year from federal, state, local and private sources, and also includes a description of the activities that will be undertaken to meet the specific objectives.
2020 Annual Action Plan CARES Act Amendment
The City is amending the 2020 Annual Action Plan to allocate the CDBG-CV and ESG-CV funds under the CARES Act. The Substantial Amendment is consistent with the City of Oxnard’s Citizen Participation Plan, as revised on the same date. A summary of modifications is as follows:

AP-05
• Summary of Citizen Participation Process and consultation process • Summary of public comments
AP-12 Participation
• Citizen Participation Outreach Table; Public Hearing and Internet Outreach added AP-15 Expected Resources
• Introduction; narrative added
• Anticipated Resources Table; CDBG-CV and ESG-CV funding added AP-20 Annual Goals and Objectives
• Goal Summary Table; COVID-19 Pandemic Response CDBG and COVID-19 Pandemic Response CDBG goals added

2020
5 • Project Information Table; three projects added
• Narrative: Describe the reasons for allocation priorities and any obstacles to addressing underserved needs; description added
AP-38 Project Summary
• Project Summary Information Table; three projects added

2. Summarize the objectives and outcomes identified in the Plan This could be a restatement of items or a table listed elsewhere in the plan or a reference to another location. It may also contain any essential items from the housing and homeless needs assessment, the housing market analysis or the strategic plan.

The City is being guided by HUD's Office of Community Planning Development Outcome Performance Measurement System to address the high priority needs stated in its Regional ConPlan. When funding an activity, the City determines which of three HUD objectives best describes the purpose of the activity.

The three objectives are:
• Suitable Living Environment (SL) - In general, this objective relates to activities that are designed to benefit communities, families, or individuals by addressing issues in their living environment. • Decent Housing (DH) - The activities that typically would be found under this objective are designed to cover the wide range of housing programs possible under HOME, CDBG or HESG.

This objective focuses on housing programs where the purpose of the program is to meet individual family or community needs and not programs where housing is an element of a larger effort, since such programs would be more appropriately reported under Suitable Living Environment.
• Creating Economic Opportunities (EO) - This objective applies to the types of activities related to economic development, commercial revitalization, or job creation.

Once the objective for the activity is identified, the City determines which of the three HUD outcome categories best reflects what the City seeks to achieve by funding the activity. The three outcome categories are:
738
Annual Action Plan CARES Act Amendment
2020
6 • Availability/Accessibility - This outcome category applies to activities that make services, infrastructure, public services, public facilities, housing, or shelter available or accessible to lowand moderate-income (LMI) people, including persons with disabilities. In this category, accessibility does not refer only to physical barriers, but also to making the affordable basis of daily living available and accessible to LMI people in the area in which they live. • Affordability - This outcome category applies to activities that provide affordability in a variety of ways to LMI people. It can include the creation or maintenance of affordable housing, basic infrastructure hook-ups, or services such as day care.
• Sustainability - Promoting Livable or Viable Communities. This outcome applies to projects where the activities are aimed at improving communities or neighborhoods, helping to make them livable or viable by providing benefit to LMI persons or by removing or eliminating slums or blighted areas, through multiple activities or services that sustain communities or neighborhoods.

3. Evaluation of past performance
This is an evaluation of past performance that helped lead the grantee to choose its goals or projects.

1. Introduction
Federal regulations require that a participating jurisdiction consult extensively with community service providers, other jurisdictions and other entities with a potential interest in or knowledge of that jurisdiction's housing and non-housing community development issues. Staff have developed and followed a detailed schedule which provides for and encourages citizen participation emphasizing the participation of persons of low- and moderate-income
The regional consolidated plan and the annual action plan represent a comprehensive planning effort mainly led by Housing Department-Grants Management Division staff, with involvement of (1) local government experts; (2) the social service community; (3) residents; and, (4) consultation with other local HUD entitlement communities. The following items are examples of the consultations efforts:
• Grants Management Division staff work closely with other City staff members such as:

Affordable Housing and Rehabilitation; Homeless Assistance Program; Development Services; Utilities; Treasury; Oxnard Housing Authority; Community Development Services; Code Compliance; Geographical Information System; Recreation and Community Services; and Finance to ensure that careful consideration is given to the City's identified needs, and that programs and services are cost-effective and meet specific goals and objectives in order to develop and implement the Regional ConPlan and the AAP. • City staff members in the Department and/or Divisions; Affordable Housing and Rehabilitation, Homeless Assistance Program, Development Services, Utilities, Treasury, Oxnard Housing Authority, Community Development Services, Code Compliance, Geographical Information System, Recreation and Community Services and Finance provide supportive services as needed to accomplish ConPlan development efforts, • Housing staff during the fiscal year cycle continue to provide HUD program workshops to social service agencies and the opportunities for the residents to participate in the public hearings, • The process of preparing a Joint Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH) for the City of Oxnard and the Oxnard Housing Authority, which had been due on October 4, 2020, has been modified due to a change in the HUD regulations. The AFH has been replaced with a requirement to produce an Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing (AI). In January of 2019, the City and the County of Ventura agreed to collaborate on the production of the AI, which will be due in May of 2020. Through 2019-20, staff will be engaged in the necessary community outreach and participation, and collaboration with the County of Ventura, in order to produce the AI for public review and comment in accordance with the HUD guidelines. The draft Regional AI was published in January 2020, and was adopted on June 16, 2020 by the Oxnard City Council, following the required public hearings and public comment period. 745

• The City of Oxnard City Council conducted two (2) public hearings, on 3/17/2020 and 6/16/2020, as prescribed in the Citizen Participation Plan.

A community Fair Housing workshop, free to the public, was conducted at the Oxnard Public Library in November of 2019, and a second is scheduled for May of 2020.

Attended the regional Continuum of Care (CoC) meetings to discuss the application, homeless needs and program directions and strategies;
The City of Oxnard Commission on Homelessness conducted 7 meetings in 2019-20, and plans to conduct two more prior to June 30, 2020. Since January of 2018, the Commission has adopted resolutions which presented a total of fifteen (15) policy recommendations to City Council. On September 10, 2018, the Commission formally approved submission of a Five-Year Homeless Plan with recommendation that it be adopted by the Oxnard City Council; Homeless Services staff worked in partnership with the County of Ventura and the City of Ventura to establish a Shelter Committee for developing two permanent emergency shelters in West Ventura County;
The City of Oxnard has executed an agreement with Mercy House for the full time operation of the Oxnard Navigation Center, which is a 110-bed overnight shelter; Assisted the Point-in-Time count of the homeless persons in Ventura County and especially in Oxnard on January 29, 2020 resulted in a final count of 379 unsheltered homeless individuals.

This is an increase of 76 individuals counted from last year; Homeless Services staff successfully submitted a state Homeless Emergency Aid Program grant awarding the City of Oxnard 1.5 million dollars for shelter capital and direct human services; Requested representation for the Grants Application Review Panel from Inter Neighborhood Council Organization executive board members and Neighborhood Council chairpersons.

Describe coordination with the Continuum of Care and efforts to address the needs of homeless persons (particularly chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans, and unaccompanied youth) and persons at risk of homelessness.

The Ventura County Continuum of Care Alliance (CoC) is a regional consortium covering all communities in Ventura County. The CoC is a collaborative group dedicated to promoting a safe, desirable and thriving community by ending homelessness in Ventura County. The CoC is comprised of a Board of 746
Annual Action Plan CARES Act Amendment
2020
14 Directors and five sub committees (Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) Steering Committee, Data Performance and Evaluation, Public Information and Outreach, Coordinated Intake, and Housing Service and Coordination). Within these standing committees and the CoC body, are representatives from local housing authorities, homeless service providers, homeless health care, mental health, veterans' services, law enforcement, education, local homeless task forces, business leaders and city/county government representatives.

The coordination of housing assistance and services for homeless persons continues to be implemented through a broad range of public and private funding and service providers that reach: chronically homeless individuals and families with children, veterans, unaccompanied youth, the recently homeless and those at risk of becoming homeless. City staff participate as well on the City's Affordable Housing Team, OHA, the Homeless Committee, which is comprised of the Mayor Pro Tem and another City Council member. Other entities involved in the development of policy and implementation of the provision of services include the City Council-appointed Commission on Homelessness, regional bodies such as the Ventura County Housing and Homeless Coalition, the South Coast Collaborative Regional HMIS implementation committee, the Southern California Regional CoC Collaborative, and the Ventura County CoC Alliance. The City's Housing Department also oversees the Fair Housing Program. An example of how the City directly provides funding and staff support to coordinate housing assistance include such interventions as a City Police Department implemented program that combines a ride along case manager with officers patrolling areas frequented by chronically homeless and recently homeless individuals and families allows for immediate needs assessments and referrals to appropriate agencies.

Describe consultation with the Continuum(s) of Care that serves the jurisdiction's area in determining how to allocate ESG funds, develop performance standards for and evaluate outcomes of projects and activities assisted by ESG funds, and develop funding, policies and procedures for the operation and administration of HMIS The CoC's Data Performance and Evaluation Sub Committee is tasked with establishing performance measures and new policies and procedures for all homeless grant funds and activities. The HMIS Steering Committee is tasked with developing the policies and procedures that govern HMIS, which is administered by the County of Ventura.

City staff continue to work with the CoC to develop performance standards for and evaluation of outcomes for ESG-funded projects and activities. Through participation on regional sub-committees staff also continue to inform HMIS policies, procedures, operations and administration. 747

Table 3 – Other local / regional / federal planning efforts Narrative (optional)
Implementation of the 2020 Action Plan requires coordination and compliance with the local and regional needs established by the City of Oxnard, County of Ventura, Southern California Council of Governments and the State of California.

The Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), the nation’s largest metropolitan planning organization (MPO), representing six counties, 191 cities and more than 18 million residents in Southern California, is mandated by federal and state law to research and draw up plans for transportation, growth management, hazardous waste management and air quality. SCAG undertakes a variety of planning and policy initiatives that regulate housing development.
755
Annual Action Plan CARES Act Amendment
2020
23 One of these planning tools is the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA), it establishes the need for affordable housing development in cities and counties within its region.

City of Oxnard’s general plan contains a housing element that makes “adequate provision for the existing and projected housing needs of all economic segments of the community.” The housing element must be revised and updated every eight years after 2010 due to SB 375. A community is not obligated to actually provide housing to all in need but the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) is a “distribution of housing development capacity” that each city and county must zone for in a planning period. It is not a “construction need allocation,” and is integral to the development of a Sustainable Community Strategy. The housing element is a planning document, requiring the City to plan for meeting its “fair share” of regional housing market need. The RHNA will set local housing and land use capacity goals to support future growth, including transit oriented, mixed use and infill development.

The time frame during which housing accomplishments towards the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) can be counted (RHNA cycle) is January 1, 2014 through October 31, 2021. The City seeks to conserve and rehabilitate existing housing as well as provide opportunities for new development. The 2014-2021 SCAG RHNA determined that 4,199 affordable housing units would be required in the City of Oxnard. The City’s updated Housing Element indicates that as of March 2017, 2,497 affordable housing units remain to be built.

The City Housing Department’s mission is to promote the general welfare of the City by remedying unsafe and substandard housing, and by relieving the shortage of affordable housing for City residents. This mission is consistent with the City’s General Plan and laws governing our housing funds and resources. The purpose of the Housing Department is to provide decent, safe, attractive, sanitary, and well maintained housing for eligible low and very low income families in a manner that promotes commitment, exemplary customer service, economy, efficiency, and the social well-being of the residents.

All City housing projects undertaken with federal funds from HUD or other state or federal funding source must comply with the requirements of the City’s Housing Element, General Plan, SCAG, State of California Housing and Community Development Department (HCD) and HUD. 756

33 Expected Resources
AP-15 Expected Resources – 91.220(c)(1,2)
Introduction
In Plan year 2020, the formula grant calculations of HUD allocations to City of Oxnard are CDBG $2,574,388, HOME $776,134 and HESG $221,083, a total of $3,571,065 in entitlement grants from HUD. In addition, estimated program income of $100,000 for CDBG programs and $100,000 for HOME programs. This will increase total available resources from the 2020 Plan year to $3,771,605. The source of program income comes principally from repayment of loans and recaptures from defaults. Those funds will be used towards meeting the goals and objectives of the 2020 AAP.

CDBG funds will leverage city funds and subrecipients funded with CA state grants, private foundations and contributions from individuals, corporations and private foundations that provide services and public facilities to low/moderate income residents of City of Oxnard. HOME affordable housing loans for down payment assistance or rehabilitation will leverage affordable housing loan programs, funded by State of CA, such as BEGIN and CAL-HOME. HOME development financing assistance will leverage development funds from State of CA, developer equity, private financing, and tax credit financing. HESG grant funds leverage subrecipents' funds from donations from individuals, corporations and private foundations, which support non-profit agencies sub-recipients and in the case of government HESG contractors, City of Oxnard funding from CA a state grant source and General Funds are two sources of matching funds.

Although not in the Priority Table below, additional resources for 2020 also include leverage and match funds by the HOME and HESG projects.

Those are described in AP-10 agencies listed, AP-15 Introduction, AP-20, Narrative of Goal 7, Reduce Homelessness and AP-55 Introduction.

The Substantial Amendment of October 6, 2020, includes additional funding for the CDBG-CV and ESG-CV grant, to be used to prevent, prepare for, and respond to coronavirus. The City of Oxnard CARES Act grant allocations total $8,343,372; Community Development Block Grants (CDBGCV) will be $3,088,367 and Emergency Solutions Grants (ESG-CV) will be $5,255,005. In addition, the ESG-CV amount of $651,589 is unallocated and will be utilized for ESG eligible activities.

For the ESG-CV remaining balance of $651,589 the city is working in partnership with Ventura County to develop a COVID Response Coordinated 766
Annual Action Plan CARES Act Amendment
2020
34 Investment Plan (CIP). The CIP is being developed throughout a 5 week intensive workshop led by external facilitators. Upon completion of the course, the city in coordination with the county will use the CIP report and begin implementation.

Table 5 - Expected Resources – Priority Table
Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied
CDBG funds are leveraged by city and subrecipients providers with government agency, in-kind, private foundations and contributions monies who provide services to low/moderate income persons. Affordable housing developments utilizing HOME funds typically use HOME monies to leverage millions of dollars in state, federal, and private financing. HESG funds are leveraged by non-profit agencies providers with government agency, in-kind, private foundations, Ventura County Continuum of Care monies who provide critical services such as assisted housing, services and shelter to vulnerable populations who are at-risk of becoming homelessness or homeless persons and families. HOME funds are matched at 771

Description of the geographic areas of the entitlement (including areas of low-income and minority concentration) where assistance will be directed The primary national objectives of the ConPlan programs are to benefit LMI residents, therefore, the City’s CDBG funds will be targeted to extremely low, low, and moderate-income persons. The City has traditionally dedicated 100 percent of its CDBG resources to activities that exclusively benefit LMI persons. CDBG funds will be used to serve the LMI persons Citywide and in Low-Moderate Areas (LMA).

This trend is expected to continue in PY 2020. Also, the City will continue to assist the low-income persons citywide with HOME and HESG funds. The target areas are: (1) Citywide, with 89 percent of the total entitlement funds; and, (2) the LMA Census Tract, 11 percent. The total entitlement includes the administration and planning funding.

Geographic Distribution
Target Area Percentage of Funds
Table 8 - Geographic Distribution
Rationale for the priorities for allocating investments geographically The need for affordable housing (funded from CDBG and HOME) is present throughout the City. CDBG funds for direct benefit category-capital improvements and code enforcement are allocated based on the percentage of LMI persons within the LMA neighborhoods. Regarding the Public Services category of the CDBG funds, the proposed projects will focus on the basic needs of the residents such as health care, essential and supportive services, as well as housing services. The special population such as seniors, homeless and youth will continue to receive their funding for the healthcare needs, nutrition needs, education needs, shelter support and recreational needs.

HESG allocations are based on the limited clientele are distributed citywide.

HOME funds are distributed based on the income eligibility of the clients and citywide basis. These allocations also cover designated areas targeted by Code Compliance efforts to reduce and eliminate the deterioration of the areas through the Homeownership program as well as the Housing Rehabilitation program: homeowners will improve the beautiful appearance of the home and the safety of the 793

Introduction
HOME affordable housing loans for down payment assistance or rehabilitation will leverage affordable housing loan programs, funded by State of CA, such as BEGIN and CAL-HOME. HOME development financing assistance will leverage development funds from State of California, developer equity, private financing, and tax credit financing.

Lower-income households continue to pay a high percentage of their income for housing, compared to other income groups. A large percentage of lower-income renters tend to experience overcrowding and inadequate housing conditions as housing problems. In order to help provide decent and affordable housing, and improve the social and economic status for LMI households in Oxnard, the following programs will be available during the next program year:

1. First time Homebuyer Loan Program

2. Homeownership Assistance Program

3. Rehabilitation of Single-Family and Mobile home Housing Units

4. Rehabilitation of Housing Rental Units

5. Construction of new affordable dwelling units

64 AP-60 Public Housing – 91.220(h)
Introduction
Oxnard Housing Authority (OHA) currently administers 520 public housing units, 1,840 Section 8 rental assistance vouchers, which includes 67 VASH vouchers and provides support services through its Resident Services program and Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program. The needs of public housing residents are supported with a Resident Services program which offers a variety of services to families and youth on-site. The FSS program supports and promotes public housing and Section 8 families with homeownership opportunities and economic self-sufficiency. The FSS Program provides one-on-one counseling and individual assistance to families that participate in this program. Marking flyers for the residential rehabilitation program and the home buyer program are also available in the City's Housing Department lobby.

Actions planned during the next year to address the needs to public housing Modernization projects for the public housing units, where most needed, are funded through its Capital Fund program. Every 5 years the Capital Fund program conducts a PNA (Physical Need Assessment) throughout the entire housing units and sends out survey questionnaires to the residents to assess the physical deficiencies in their units. It also collects input from Maintenance and Public Housing Staff. All the collected deficiencies get translated into capital improvement projects and get tabulated into a 5 year action plan. Each year, in its Annual Plan and Statement, Capital Fund re-prioritizes those projects identified in the 5 year plan.

For Fiscal year 2020/21, the following capital improvement projects for public housing units are planned:

Cal 31-2 (Felicia Court) Roofing $250,000
Exterior Doors $220,000
Cal 31-8 (Palm Vista) Boiler Replacement $ 10,000
Cal 31-5 (Plaza Vista) Kitchen Cabinets $175,000
Cal 31-7 (Scattered sites) Kitchen Cabinets $350,000
Building Improvements $ 10,000
Total Planned projects for 2020 $1,015,000
In 2019, the Oxnard Housing Authority retired 144 public housing units, the impacted public housing residents were issued Section 8 Project Based Vouchers for the Las Cortes Project and any remaining families were given Section 8 tenant based vouchers to relocate to a unit in the private market.

Homeownership opportunities are promoted by offering public housing families homeownership counseling services by Ventura County Community Development Corporation (VCCDC). In addition, families are informed of these services through its Family Self-Sufficiency Program and distribution of fliers to all households.

Public housing residents are encouraged to participate in public housing tenant associations that advocate on behalf of tenants to support efforts to improve public housing stock and living conditions.

66 AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
Jurisdictions that receive federal funds for homeless assistance are required to conduct a Point In Time Count (PIT) of homeless persons each year. The 2020 PIT count was conducted on January 29, 2020.

The "Ventura County 2020 Homeless Count and Subpopulation Survey: Final Report", published in April 2020. The report is at the following website:
https://s33020.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/2020-VC-Homeless-Count-Report-Final.pdf In summary, the PIT count is a snapshot of homeless people who could be enumerated on one specific day. The 2020 PIT counted a total of 379 unsheltered homeless persons in Oxnard.

Describe the jurisdictions one-year goals and actions for reducing and ending homelessness including
Reaching out to homeless persons (especially unsheltered persons) and assessing their individual needs
In the previous twelve months the City of Oxnard established a year around homeless shelter and navigation center located on K Street in Oxnard. The City of Oxnard contracted Mercy House to operate the navigation center. The navigation center will continue its operation for the next twelve-month period and beyond. Oxnard has launched an effort to develop a new construction mixed-use development that will include a new and replacement navigation center and 110-bed homeless shelter plus other support services and fifty-four units of permanent supportive housing. We expect that this new project will be in operation within thirty-six months and will maintain the interim operation on K Street until relocation is possible.

During the next year, Oxnard will engage a new street outreach team to offer navigation for basic needs, services and shelter. The street outreach team will coordinate with Mercy House and the Oxnard Navigation Center as well as the Homeless Liaison Officers with the Oxnard Police Department.

Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons are currently being addressed by several service providers throughout Ventura County. The emergency shelter needs in the area are met by the following providers: Mercy Housing in operation of the Oxnard Navigation Center, Ventura County Rescue Mission - single men over the age of 18 with rotating stay schedule, 10 nights in/5 nights out; Kingdom Center - emergency shelter for single women and women with children; Lighthouse Mission for Women and Children - single women and women with children; and Turning 799
Annual Action Plan CARES Act Amendment
2020
67 Point Foundation - mentally ill individuals.

Transitional housing needs are currently being met by the following providers: Kingdom Center - single women and women with children; Khepera House - single men; Many Mansions - transition aged youth, single women and women with children; Turning Point Foundation - single mentally ill persons; Salvation Army - families, single parents and single persons; VC-HSA - families, single parents and children, and single persons; Project Understanding - families and single parent households.

Helping homeless persons (especially chronically homeless individuals and families, families with children, veterans and their families, and unaccompanied youth) make the transition to permanent housing and independent living, including shortening the period of time that individuals and families experience homelessness, facilitating access for homeless individuals and families to affordable housing units, and preventing individuals and families who were recently homeless from becoming homeless again
There are many providers that are working diligently to assist homeless persons from not only finding housing, but also to prevent further incidents of homelessness. The Oxnard Housing Authority has created a homeless preference in issuance of Housing Choice Vouchers and is actively offering permanent housing opportunities. During the 2019 – 2020 fiscal year the Oxnard Housing Authority expects to house fifty otherwise homeless families with the use of Housing Choice Vouchers.

The Ventura County Human Services Agency utilizes both County General Funds and the City's Emergency Solutions Grant to provide eviction prevention and rapid re-housing services to all of these populations; they will continue to do this in the forthcoming operating year. Additionally, Ventura County Veterans Services, Homeless Health Care and Ventura County Behavioral Health all work closely with the service providers to provide other supportive services to assist in reducing the incidence of homelessness as they have also done in the recent past.

OHA works in conjunction with the Veteran Administration to administer 67 housing vouchers for homeless veterans under the VASH program. This program targets chronically homeless veterans.

Helping low-income individuals and families avoid becoming homeless, especially extremely low-income individuals and families and those who are: being discharged from publicly funded institutions and systems of care (such as health care facilities, mental health facilities, foster care and other youth facilities, and corrections programs and institutions); or, receiving assistance from public or private agencies that address housing, health, social services, employment, education, or youth needs.

The CoC has documented discharge policies of all of the above mentioned services that spell out various directions to ensure persons are not discharged into homelessness. Additionally, as stated earlier, HSA works with qualifying low-income persons and families to avoid homelessness. This is done with the 800
Annual Action Plan CARES Act Amendment
2020
68 utilization of HESG and Ventura County allocated general fund dollars. Under the CoC discharge policy, in fulfilling the State Mandated Policy (state law related to the discharge protocol), the following are found:

1. Health Care Facilities: the County health care system describes the discharge policy as interdisciplinary responsibility. For the persons who require ongoing medical and nursing care and who have no identifiable address they may be discharged to a respite program at the RAIN project, a County operated transitional housing project. Others, upon discharge routinely go to group homes, board and care facilities, or reunite with families and friends.

2. Mental Health Facilities: the Ventura County Medical Center Psychiatric Inpatient Unit with the collaboration of Ventura County Behavioral Health and various community agencies provide discharge planning and placement assistance to patients, when leaving the mental health facilities.

3. Foster care and other youth facilities: the goal is to provide assisted services to eligible youth and young adults between the ages of 16 and 21 in making a successful transition from foster care to independent living and achieve self-sufficiency. In addition to the County Children and Family Services, a Transitional Age Youth (TAY) center, operated by Pacific Clinic is also available.

4. Corrections programs and institutions: upon release, inmates are able to obtain housing in transitional and permanent housing programs, group homes, and sober living homes as well as with family and friends.

Discussion
The CoC has incorporated each of the following goals of Opening Doors into its 20-year plan to end homelessness:

1. Ending chronic homelessness through targeted street outreach (CDBG-Community Action-One Stop Shelter, CoC-Oxnard Homeless Outreach Program, VCHSA-Rapid Re-housing, HESG-Winter Warming Shelter), discharge planning and implementation of a housing first approach.

2. Preventing and ending homelessness among veterans by providing permanent supportive housing beds, in addition to Section 8 HUD VASH vouchers.

3. Preventing and ending homelessness for families, youth, and children by 2020 through rapid rehousing program and homeless prevention activities. The CoC set a path to ending all types of homelessness in its 10-year plan by implementing a coordinated assessment system-Pathways to Home. As a result, the number of chronic homeless, veterans, families, and youth continue to demonstrate positive results.

4. All of the above objectives are still in progress and will be folded into a regional plan and strategy lead by the County of Ventura.

69 AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction:

Barriers or constraints to the affordability of housing exist in many forms. A particular building code that to one sector might be interpreted as a “negative” public policy that acts as a barrier to affordable housing may to another sector be seen as a life-saving necessity – for example, seismic safety construction requirements. The same can be said for zoning and land use regulations. It should be noted that in Ventura County, local growth limitations have been adopted by direct ballot measures. Some of these measures entail costs which can affect housing supply and the cost of housing that is produced.

Barriers to exit homelessness include the lack of a permanent, year round shelter and the lack of housing units for those at the very low- and low- income spectrum. Because of the high cost to develop housing for these populations and limited public funding to subsidize the development of new affordable housing units, developers often do not have the resources to develop the number of units necessary to house this population. When this occurs, badly needed units go undeveloped, thus further limiting housing opportunities for those hardest to house.

Actions it planned to remove or ameliorate the negative effects of public policies that serve as barriers to affordable housing such as land use controls, tax policies affecting land, zoning ordinances, building codes, fees and charges, growth limitations, and policies affecting the return on residential investment
Environmental review, general planning, zoning, and related local land use regulations and development standards are all extensions of local government police powers to protect life and property, minimize nuisances, and achieve a desired quality of life as expressed through a participatory democratic process.

Certain barriers to affordability are imposed by the mandates created by State Law (such as preparing and adopting a General Plan and conducting environmental reviews), are adopted for safety or civil rights reasons (such as the imposition of seismic construction standards in quake-prone areas, or requiring compliance with accessibility or visitability design standards), or enacted to remedy or prevent a specific local issue (such as requiring landscaping to deter graffiti). The term “barrier” should not be interpreted in the context that local development standards and development review procedures are inhibiting the provision of quality affordable housing that would otherwise be developed, but are the cumulative effect of the development requirements imposed by the layers of government regulations and laws that impact residential development.

Discussion:

The City strives to consistently implement all policies and procedures, to review local development standards and development review procedures in such a way as to avoid and ensure that such do not have unintended negative consequences, and to improve policies and procedures so as to increase the opportunities and feasibility of developing affordable housing, especially for special needs and very lowand low-income units). The City will continue to engage in these efforts to identify and minimize any 802

70 barriers over which the City has legal authority, in accordance with applicable law. 803

71 AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
Introduction:

The City will implement the goals and strategies of the Consolidated Plan to achieve the other actions listed in the next section
Actions planned to address obstacles to meeting underserved needs The City will continue to utilize available resources to fund administrative support activities to meet the underserved needs in the community. The City will continue to work with the appropriate state agencies to administer the assets of the former redevelopment agency in the appropriate manner, and to the benefit of the LMI community whenever possible and feasible. Limited availability of funding from federal, state and other sources;
High cost of housing and provisions in the area which increases the difficulty of meeting affordable housing needs;
Reduced or frozen funding from state and other sources due to inadequate state revenue; the housing and credit crisis causing a negative effect;
A tight job market has produced an increased demand for production of new housing which is not being met, increasing home prices. Salaries are not commensurate with the high cost of housing in this market. These two factors combine to exacerbate the affordability crisis; and, Credit crisis has limited the availability of capital to develop housing for low-and moderate-income households and special needs groups.City staff will address the challenges of existing and new obstacles in PY 2020 by focusing on the following programmatic and administrative areas:Staff will continue to research the availability of future funding resources that leverage the development of affordable housing units, inclusive of grants, bond financing, Section 108 funding and partnering with other affordable housing developers.CDBG and other funds will be used to fund administrative support for programs that serve the needs of LMI citizens citywide. This is especially critical now that no redevelopment agency funding is available, given that redevelopment agencies no longer exist in California.Staff will continue to collaborate with private-sector partners when appropriate in the development and construction of affordable housing.Staff will continue to collaboratively work with the service provider community, non-profit organizations, and neighboring cities and local governmental agencies within the County of Ventura to identify projects that also meet federal community development program eligibility and which can comply with timely draw-down requirements.

Actions planned to foster and maintain affordable housing The City utilizes its Inclusionary Housing Program to provide significant numbers of affordable housing units. To ensure that Oxnard has enough opportunity sites suitable for residential development and to meet the remaining RHNA affordable allocation of 2,497 lower income and moderate units and 53 804
Annual Action Plan CARES Act Amendment
2020
72 above moderate income units, the City is relying on the following:
• The All Affordable Housing Opportunity Program (AAHOP) and Affordable Housing (AH) additive zone (see Supplement 2) with an inventory of 2,067 units on 38 AAHOP sites • 66 Vacant and Underutilized Sites (see Supplement 2)
The City of Oxnard has adopted several ordinances that establish inclusionary affordable housing requirements for new developments. Relevant ordinances are City Council Ordinances 2721 and 2615. The Inclusionary Housing Program provides for in-lieu fee payments that can replace the on-site units within a development subject to approval by the City Council. The City is currently in the process of completing a study to increase the City's in-lieu fee. In-lieu fees for development project are as follows:

For-Sale Units: If the in-lieu request is granted, the developer is required to make a payment of 1 percent of the sales price of each for sale unit in the project based on increments of $50,000, with a minimum payment of $5,000 for each unit.

Rental Units: A payment is required for each rental unit. The price is adjusted every six months by the percentage increase or decrease for the previous six months as determined by the Los Angeles Riverside-Orange County Consumer Price Index for all urban consumers.

The City Council generally prefers on-site affordable housing as opposed to payment of in-lieu fees. A project that is approved for in-lieu payments has usually agreed to another public benefit through a Development Agreement that justifies the in-lieu payment. In-lieu payments are made when the developer applies for building permits for the approved units. The in-lieu fees collected provide funding support in the form of developer loans to new affordable housing projects and are almost always leveraged with other funding sources. The current in-lieu fund balance is approximately $2.8 million.

Possible incentives may include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Assistance with accessing and applying for funding (based on availability of federal, state, local foundations, and private funds)
• Mortgage-subsidy or down payment assistance programs to assist first- time homebuyers and other qualifying households, when such funds are available • Expedited/streamlined application processing and development review • Modification of development requirements, such as reduced setbacks and parking standards on 805

Actions planned to reduce lead-based paint hazards
The City will coordinate activities with the County of Ventura Department of Health and Human Services to reduce lead-based paint hazards in accordance with federal regulations. Any rehabilitation activities on housing units constructed prior to 1978 will have lead hazards identified and actions taken to remove the hazard. The City's Affordable Housing Division does not own or manage any housing units. All units for which HOME and CDBG assistance is provided for homebuyer assistance or homeowner rehabilitation are administered in compliance with HUD's HOME or CDBG regulations for lead-based paint, as applicable. With respect to units owned or assisted by the Oxnard Housing Authority, there have been no cases of Public Housing tenants and/or Section 8 participant households reporting or having been discovered to have poisoned children or any child with “Elevated Blood Lead Level”. OHA staff provides a brochure related to lead based paint hazards to all new tenants and program participants. Maintenance staff attends training and seminars to stay current with the State of California Lead Awareness Training requirements.

Actions planned to reduce the number of poverty-level families Eliminating poverty is a clear concern in Oxnard and Ventura County in general. Efforts are constantly underway to improve the quality of life and economic well-being of the residents through collaborative efforts of the following agencies and their programs to provide needed skills for individuals seeking jobs and thereby getting them out of poverty:
• City Corp
• Community Action of Ventura County
• Oxnard Housing Authority
• County of Ventura-Human Services Agency
• City's youth programs such Police Activities League programs, Colonia Gymnasium, Colonia Recreation Center and Boxing programs
Actions planned to develop institutional structure
Extensive public and private partnerships have been established and organized to address the City's housing, homeless, and community development needs: Entitlement Grants workshops and training, Affordable Housing workshops for homeowners, Relocation meetings for residents, Fair Housing training and other scheduled meetings (such as Pre-construction meetings, Commission on Homelessness meetings, and meetings with County Continuum of Care Council, Housing Committee meetings).

Actions planned to enhance coordination between public and private housing and social 806
Annual Action Plan CARES Act Amendment
2020
74 service agencies
The City will continue to collaborate with public and private housing and social service agencies to meet the goals and objectives of the Consolidated Plan. This could be from ongoing meetings, special meetings and task force.

Discussion:

The City anticipates significant numbers of inclusionary affordable housing to be developed within several proposed specific plans and other new projects. Based on a thorough review, the City does not believe that the current inclusionary housing program is a constraint to the development of housing in addition to the incentives and concessions currently being offered and conversations with local developers who have been able to work within the requirement of the inclusionary housing program and produce housing. To further ensure the program does not pose a constraint, the City has included a monitoring process.

Other actions that the the City of Oxnard will continue to improve compliance assessment for all its HUD funded programs and projects by 1) monitoring program and financial performance; 2) compliance with Environmental review: each project is reviewed for compliance with the National Environmental Protection Act. The City has a consulting agreement with Rincon to assist and perform the environmental reviews for housing developments and facility improvement projects, more complicated, and time consuming projects; 3) Labor Compliance Act: the City reviews and perform the contract administration of all CDBG-funded construction projects; 4) Section 3 Compliance: this function is also performed by the City; 5) Procurement and Purchasing: The City has its own procurement and purchasing policies managed by staff in the Finance Department; 6) Partnerships with Citizen Advisory Groups: Inter-Neighborhood Council Forum, Commission on Homelessness, Parks and Recreation and Community Services Commission, Mobilehome Park Rent Review Board, and Senior Services Commission.

Reference 24 CFR 91.220(l)(2)

1. A description of other forms of investment being used beyond those identified in Section 92.205 is as follows:

Other forms of local investments for housing that may be available to projects include financing from the City’s in-lieu fees, CDBG funding. Additionally, the City also provides homebuyer assistance through the use of program income received from BEGIN and CALHOME State funded grant programs.

2. A description of the guidelines that will be used for resale or recapture of HOME funds when used for homebuyer activities as required in 92.254, is as follows:

Refer to Questions # 3 for Resale Provisions & procedures.

Recapture:

Provisions
• “In the event that the homebuyer fails to satisfy the requirements during the term of the loan, or otherwise defaults, the City shall exercise its legal rights, as set forth in the promissory note and deed of trust, in order to recover the monetary assistance previously provided to the maximum extent permitted by law.”
• “If the recapture provisions are triggered by a sale of the housing unit, (whether voluntary or involuntary –such as foreclosure) or other default, the City shall take all necessary steps to recover the full amount of HOME funds from the net proceeds. The phrase ‘net proceeds’ is defined as the sales price, minus the loan repayment of the first trust deed (other than HOME funds) and any closing costs.”
The HOME Program regulations allow the City to recapture the entire HOME Subsidy, in the event the loan recipient violates the affordability and or term period requirements. However, should the ‘net proceeds’ not cover the entire HOME Subsidy or not cover any of the HOME Subsidy, the City is required to forgive the remaining balance of the direct HOME Subsidy. • During the term of the loan, the homeowner must repay the loan if it is sold, transferred or refinanced without the City’s permission and/or with cash out to the homeowner or the homeowner does not occupy the residence as a primary residence.

Procedures
The City utilizes an agreement which includes restrictions, and a promissory note secured by a deed 809
Annual Action Plan CARES Act Amendment
2020
77 of trust which is recorded with the Ventura County Recorder’s Office.

Staff monitors and requires certification annually by the homeowner that the property is owneroccupied to determine if recapture provisions shall be invoked upon discovery of violations for owner-occupancy or unauthorized transfers.

The City will exercise the rights stipulated in the promissory note, secured by the deed of trust that was recorded with the County Recorder’s Office.

Should Borrower transfer (as that term is defined in the Note) the Property during the occupancy period, City shall require that Borrower pay from the net proceeds the full amount of the Loan. For purposes of this Loan Agreement, “net proceeds” shall mean the sales price minus loan repayment (other than CDBG funds) and closing costs.

In the event net proceeds are not sufficient to discharge the full amount of the Loan during the occupancy period plus enable the Borrower to recover his or her initial investment in the Property and documented costs of any capital improvements, Borrower shall share the net proceeds with City. The City’s share of the net proceeds shall be calculated as follows:
(Amount of Loan / Amount of Loan + Borrower’s Investment) = % of Net Proceeds that City is entitled to.

Should the net proceeds not discharge the full amount of the Loan, City shall forgive the remaining balance.

3. A description of the guidelines for resale or recapture that ensures the affordability of units acquired with HOME funds? See 24 CFR 92.254(a)(4) are as follows:

Refer to Question #2 for Recapture provisions and procedures.

Resale
Provisions
During the affordability period, the homeowner must resell to another low-income homebuyer if the property is refinanced without the City’s permission and/or with cash out to the homeowner or the homeowner does not occupy the residence as a primary residence.

The original homebuyer receives a fair return on investment, (i.e., the homebuyer’s down payment plus capital improvements made to the house. It is important to note that in certain circumstances, such as a declining housing market where home values are depreciating, the original homebuyer may not receive a return on his or her investment because the home sold for less or the same price as the original purchase price); and
810
Annual Action Plan CARES Act Amendment
2020
78 In the event that the homebuyer fails to satisfy the requirements during the term, or otherwise defaults, the City shall exercise its legal rights, as set forth in the Resale Restriction Agreement.

Procedures
The City utilizes a Resale Restriction Agreement (RRA) secured by a deed of trust which is recorded with the Ventura County Recorder’s Office.

Staff monitors and requires certification annually by the homeowner that the property is owneroccupied to determine if resale provisions shall be invoked upon discovery of violations for owneroccupancy or unauthorized transfers.

If the homeowner defaults or fails to satisfy requirements during the term, the City will exercise the rights stipulated in the Resale Restriction Agreement.

Property must be sold to an eligible low-income homebuyer which shall acquire the unit subject to the continuation of restrictions provided in the RRA through an assumption agreement.

The purchase price must be affordable for a low-income household who earns up to 80% of the area median income, provided by HUD. The monthly cost for principal, interest, taxes, insurance, HOA fees, utilities, and maintenance should not be more than 30% of the monthly income for the household or otherwise stated in the RRA. There is no preference to a particular segment of the lowincome population.

The resale price is calculated using one of two ways methods described below. The method used is identified in the RRA:

Determined as the affordable housing cost for a family at 80% of AMI paying no more than 30% of the monthly income for the household or in accordance of California Health And Safety Code 50025.5, whichever is lesser, but not less than the original price paid by homebuyer, or Determination using a CPI method to calculate the increase (or decrease) in value of the property.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index – All Urban Consumers for the Los AngelesRiverside- Orange Counties Area (all items based 1982-1984=100) provides the CPI on the date of the calculation and the CPI on the purchase date. The calculation is the CPI on the date of the calculation minus the CPI on the purchase date, plus the cost of improvements to property evidenced with receipts, less 7% depreciation, plus the costs of bringing the housing unit up to current building codes and in a salable condition.

4. Plans for using HOME funds to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily housing that is rehabilitated with HOME funds along with a description of the refinancing guidelines required that will be used under 24 CFR 92.206(b), are as follows:

The City currently does not have any plans to invest HOME funds in this type of activity. 811
Annual Action Plan CARES Act Amendment
2020
79 Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG)
Reference 91.220(l)(4)

1. Include written standards for providing ESG assistance (may include as attachment) The City does not provide any direct assistance under the HESG program any longer. All written standards vary by service providers and assistance type. However, all providers must ensure recipients meet the minimum qualifications established by HUD for each eligible funded activity.

HESG Policies and Handbook are provided to all HESG subrecipients.

2. If the Continuum of Care has established centralized or coordinated assessment system that meets HUD requirements, describe that centralized or coordinated assessment system.

The Regional Ventura County Continuum of Care Alliance has established centralized or coordinated assessment system, Pathways to Home, that provides coordination intake as well as systems to avoid duplication of effort and redundancies.

Pathways to Home is centralized to provide identical information and system-wide tracking through HMIS, of all homeless individuals who seek and /or receive assistance at any one of the various service providers, or through the County directly.

3. Identify the process for making sub-awards and describe how the ESG allocation available to private nonprofit organizations (including community and faith-based organizations).

The process for making all sub-awards for HESG recipients are as follows:
a. The City formally posts the Notice of Available Funds (NOFA) in the regional newspaper, on the City's website, and emails and paper mail are sent to all existing and potential service providers from Santa Barbara to Los Angeles.
b. All interested agencies attend information workshop/application training on the process, which includes all deadline dates and times.
c. Interested agencies then submit their application, project overview and qualifications d. The Review Panel included representatives from City Advisory Groups. e. The Review Committee reviews all proposals and provides a scores for each eligible application.

The funding recommendations are derived based on the scores. f. The funding recommendation are adjusted to meet the available resources and cap requirements; reviewed by management and then submitted to the City Council for approval. g. All applicants are contacted and urged to attend the City Council meeting in which the items fall on the agenda. All supporting comments and grievances are done at this time. h. The Mayor and City Council directs the City Manager and staff to move forward with final processing.
812
Annual Action Plan CARES Act Amendment
2020
80 i. Staff prepare all contracts for execution. Additionally, all internal processes are completed in order to encumber funds to each individual agency.
j. Contracts are completed and services can begin on July 1. k. All HESG contracts are awarded for two years.

4. If the jurisdiction is unable to meet the homeless participation requirement in 24 CFR 576.405(a), the jurisdiction must specify its plan for reaching out to and consulting with homeless or formerly homeless individuals in considering policies and funding decisions regarding facilities and services funded under ESG.

The City meets the homeless participation requirement by having a homeless and formerly homeless person serve on the City's Commission on Homelessness. In addition, each entity receiving city HESG funding is also asked to provide information as to how they involve the homeless.

5. Describe performance standards for evaluating ESG.

PERFORMANCE MEASURES
Performance measures are in place to ensure the efficient administration of all HESG funded activities. Additionally, along with the utilization of the HMIS, these measures will hopefully help to reduce the length of time of family and individuals remain homelessness, reduce the overall incidence of homelessness, and monitor the overall use of emergency shelters. Some of the activity measures are as follows:
• Emergency Shelters: Excluding winter shelters, must be able to document placement of a minimum of 10 percent of the homeless persons or households served in the Program Year into transitional or permanent housing.
• Transitional Housing: must be able to document placement of a minimum of 50 percent of the households who completed the transitional housing program in the Program Year into permanent housing. "Household" is defined as all clients including single individuals and families. • Rapid Re-housing: must show continued housing of clients receiving assistance for at least three months after receiving assistance. This should be done via case management of clients, documentation and HMIS entry and exit dates.
• Eviction Prevention: must show continued housing of clients receiving assistance for at least three months. This should be done via case management of clients, documentation and HMIS entry and exit dates.
• All clients, with the exception of victims of domestic violence, must be entered into the Regional HMIS within 15 days of receiving service(s), and must be exited from the system within 30 day of program completion or termination.
• MINIMUM STANDARDS: Sub-grantees are expected to have taken steps to meet the Minimum Standards for Homeless Programs within thirty days of executing the Program Year contract. 813
Annual Action Plan CARES Act Amendment
2020
81 • BUILDING AND HABITABILITY STANDARDS: Any building for which HESG funding is used for renovation, major rehabilitation or conversion must meet local government safety and sanitation standards. In addition, the Sub-Grantee must meet a number of basic standards to ensure that shelter and housing facilities funded through the HESG program are safe, sanitary and adequately maintained.
• MONITORING: City staff will monitor the use of grant funds through a combination of a thorough review of all submitted reports, review of audit or financial statements, and monitoring and site visits.

The City will continue to develop and implement eligible activities using the grant funds and through the monitoring and review processes and techniques in order to comply with the federal specific requirements.

Homeless Assistance Division continues to fund all the activities prescribed in the HEARTH act. With the sub-recipients cooperation, the City's HESG will continue to provide substantial additional leverage funds to invest in the various programs in order to assist the homeless population toward the goal of reduction and ending homelessness. Also, HESG limits the cost categories for administration and planning to 7.5% or $16,581 and 60% for street outreach and emergency shelter $132,649; total $149,230 for those cost categories. The City's 2020 action plan allows the maximum toward $16,581 administration and planning, and a total of $71,853 or 32.5% toward other activities such as homeless prevention and rapid re-housing support.

REPORTS
AGENDA ITEM NO. M.1
DATE: April 19, 2022
TO: City Council
FROM: Michael Wolfe, Public Works Director, (805) 385-8055, [email protected] SUBJECT: First Amendment to Agreement A-8332 with Separation Processes, Inc. for the Groundwater Desalter Improvement Project PW 21-44. (0/5/5)

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council approve and authorize the Mayor to:

1. Execute a First Amendment to Agreement A-8332 with Separation Processes, Inc. (SPI) in the amount of $263,702 for a new not to exceed contract amount of $1,063,656 for additional design work required for the Groundwater Desalter Improvement Project PW 21-44 (Project No. 216508) and

2. Approve a budget transfer in the amount of $263,702 from the Water Metering Operations (601-6003) to the Existing Desalter Upgrades Water Capital Project No. 216508.
(This item did not originate in Committee as this is a capital improvement project specifically listed in the City's Capital Improvement Program budget, which was previously approved by the City Council.) Please click the following link to view the required Measure M pre-recorded presentation video: https://youtu.be/_UmqeFFrwQ

BACKGROUND
On June 15, 2021, the City Council approved Agreement A-8332 with Separation Processes, Inc. (SPI), in the amount of $799,954 for design services for the Desalter Improvement Project. The initial scope of work included:
 Replacing Train 1 reverse osmosis membranes at the plant  Pipework modifications to allow for full saturation of membranes during non-operation  Assessing, repairing, or replacing actuators and valves  Plant modifications associated with heavy equipment access  Reliability associated with available parts and equipment  Studying the potential of brine minimization
 Brine minimization pilot study
 Providing design drawings and documentation for permanent brine minimization equipment CIP Reference
Project No. 216508 - Groundwater Desalter Improvement Project - CIP 2021-2026 - Adopted May 18, 2021 – Page 180

DISCUSSION
830
As part of the original scope of work SPI developed a Preliminary Design Report (PDR) that included a basis for design, treatment and equipment options, life cycle costs, and a preliminary construction cost estimate. Two workshops were held with the Water Division, Public Works Engineering, and SPI. Through the PDR process additional design parameters were identified as follows:
 Clean-in-place process is labor intensive, requiring multiple operators, and manual dosing of cleaning solution.  Clean-in-place tank volume is not adequate to perform the process for more than one reverse osmosis membrane train at a time.
 A variable frequency drive that is part of the clean-in-place process is at the end of its useful life and required repair over the last 6-months.

Clean-in place is the process by which the reverse osmosis membranes are treated with a solution and flushed. This process prevents fouling, restores operational efficiency, and prolongs the useful life of the membranes. The current clean-in-place process is labor intensive, requires multiple water treatment operators, and manual mixing of the cleaning solution. SPI provided a proposal for the additional work required to deliver a fully integrated design that will allow for:
 Full automation of the clean-in-place process
 Replacement of aged equipment and tanks
The design and integration of a fully automated clean-in-place process will reduce the number of staff hours required to complete the process, allowing for the process to occur more frequently with less coordination. This process change will result in an overall improvement in system reliability and increase in operational efficiency.

The proposal was reviewed by the City Engineer, the Water Division Manager, and the Supervising Civil Engineer.

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
This agenda item supports the Infrastructure and Natural Resources strategy. The purpose of the Infrastructure and Natural Resources strategy is to preserve and improve our roads, utilities, parks, trees, water supply and natural resources through effective planning, prioritization, and an equitable and efficient use of available funding.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total amount of this First Amendment to Agreement A-8332 with SPI shall not exceed $263,702 with a new not to exceed contract amount of $1,063,656 for professional design services. The Existing Desalter Upgrade Project No. 216508 has a current project budget balance of $47,478 as of March 22, 2022. A budget transfer in the amount of $263,702 is needed from available appropriations in the Water Meter Operations Repair Parts (account no. 601-6003- 843.81-21) to the Existing Desalter Upgrade Water Capital Project 216508 to provide sufficient funds to execute this Amendment.

COMMITTEE OUTCOME
This item did not originate in Committee as this is a capital improvement project specifically listed in the City's Capital Improvement Program budget, which was previously approved by the City Council.

REPORTS
AGENDA ITEM NO. M.2
DATE: April 19, 2022
TO: City Council
FROM: Michael Wolfe, Public Works Director, (805) 385-8055, [email protected] SUBJECT: Agreement A-8456 with ELS Architecture and Urban Design for South Oxnard Aquatic Center Professional Design Services. (0/15/15)

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council approve and authorize the Mayor to execute Agreement A-8456 with ELS Architecture and Urban Design, in an amount of $3,900,057 for professional design services for the South Oxnard Aquatic Center Improvement Project (Project No. 225502).
(This item did not originate in Committee as this is a capital improvement project specifically listed in the Capital Improvement Program budget, which was previously approved by the City Council.) Please click the following link to view the required Measure M pre-recorded presentation video: https://youtu.be/Sm357l99-FQ

BACKGROUND
In July 2021, the City, with the assistance of State Senator Monique Limón, was awarded $5,000,000 from the State of California (State) to design and construct the South Oxnard Aquatic Center in the current vacant City-owned property adjacent to College Park . The grant funds will allow the City to conduct community outreach and the architectural/engineering design of the aquatic center.

Following the grant award, the City sought a consultant team to provide architecture and engineering design services for the South Oxnard Aquatic Center Improvement Project (Project No. 225502). The project scope involves public outreach and participatory community design, cost analysis, architectural and engineering design, and preparation of plans and specifications for the proposed improvements.

The proposed Aquatics Center will service the City’s youth, adults, and seniors and provide for expansion of recreation, water fitness, and competitive aquatics opportunities. The Aquatic Center will equip the residents of Oxnard, a coastal community, with water safety knowledge and provide a family-friendly environment for the residents of Oxnard.

The overarching goal is to design and construct a community-based aquatics center that provides a variety of features which meets the needs of residents of all ages. At this time the detailed programming has not been established and the design consultant will assist the City in honing in on the programming through community, stakeholder, and City staff engagement as well as factoring in cost of construction and subsequent operation and maintenance.

Capital Improvement Project (CIP) Reference:

Project No. 225502 – Oxnard Aquatic Center - CIP 2021-2026 - Adopted May 18, 2021 – Page 51. 881

DISCUSSION
The notice inviting request for proposals (RFP) from qualified consultants for architecture and engineering design services for the project was published on November 5, 2021, and all proposals were due on December 15, 2021. The specific work for this contract includes Community Outreach, Architecture and Engineering Design Services, Development of an Operations & Maintenance Manual and Construction Coordination services to ensure that the construction being performed is in conformance with the contract specifications. The selected consultant team is to work closely with the City’s Project Manager and staff to successfully complete the project and protect the interest of the City.

The City received a total of seven proposals which included ELS Architecture and Urban Design (ELS), Barker Rinker Seacat Architecture, IBI Group, Little Diversified Architectural Consulting, Inc., LPA, Inc., RJM Design Group, and Roesling Nakamura Terada Architects, Inc. Staff scored all seven proposals using a standardized scoring sheet pursuant to the Oxnard Municipal Code. The top three highest scored firms were then interviewed on January 19, 2022 for final selection.

City staff consisting of the Assistant Cultural & Community Services Director, City Engineer, and Supervising Civil Engineer evaluated qualifications for all consultants. In addition to the aforementioned staff, the Assistant City Manager, Public Works Director, and Cultural & Community Services Director participated in the interview of the top three firms. The selection group ultimately recommended ELS as the most qualified firm to satisfactorily provide architecture and engineering design services for the project. Following this determination, staff reviewed all documentation received from ELS and verified and approved possession of the required currently valid certificate of insurance. Based upon the available information and research performed to date, staff believes that the consultant is capable of satisfactorily completing the project. Thus, staff recommends that the contract for this scope be awarded to ELS. This is a major step forward in achieving one of the City Council's 5-Year Priorities, Build an Aquatics Center in South Oxnard.

The community engagement phase will commence as soon as the contract is executed and the project kick-off meeting is completed. The outreach phase is anticipated to take approximately three (3) months and will consist of three (3) community workshops each of which will progressively gather input from the community based on an initial conceptual design effort and continue until a preferred, consensus concept is developed. Following the community engagement and final selection of programming for the Aquatic Center, the design team will take approximately ten (10) months to complete the plans, specifications and estimates for this project.

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
This agenda item supports the Quality of Life strategy. The purpose of the Quality of Life strategy is to restore and increase quality services and programs that enrich Oxnard's diverse community, promotes safe neighborhoods, encourages community engagement, and supports our residents in their efforts to improve their quality of life.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total cost for this agreement with ELS shall not exceed $3,900,057. There is sufficient funding available from an existing appropriation of $5.0 million in State grant funds (Fund #219-5595) in the South Oxnard Aquatic Center Improvement Project (Project No. 225502) for this phase of the project.

COMMITTEE OUTCOME
This item did not originate in Committee as this is a capital improvement project specifically listed in the Capital Improvement Program budget, which was previously approved by the City Council.
