On March 29, 2022, City Council authorized the Police Department to use $750,000 in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds for the purchase and up-fitting of one (1) mobile command vehicle. The Department will utilize the mobile command vehicle in the following manner:

1. Provide a command center to assist in the Police Department’s command and control function at special events, critical and non-critical incidents, relatively complex police operations, and disaster scenes;

2. Serve as a backup dispatch operation center in the event of a catastrophic failure at the Police Department’s headquarters building;

3. Allow for mobile incident command and the Incident Command Systems to facilitate the best possible near- scene decision-making;

4. Provide mobility, shelter from inclement weather, logistical support, restroom facilities, a conference room, lighting, and electrical power;

5. Utilized during community outreach events.

Upon receiving notification of funding on March 29, 2022, the Police Department contacted several vendors.

Emergency Vehicles Incorporated (EVI) was selected due to its ability to meet the needs specified by the Department.

Pursuant to the City of Oxnard Ordinance Number 2943, adopted June 19, 2018, the use of cooperative purchasing, whereby multiple government agencies, cooperative entities, or jurisdictions enter into a contract to procure from each other or to collectively procure a vendor, contractor or consultant is permitted. For the procurement of the mobile command vehicle, Emergency Vehicles Incorporated (EVI) will utilize Houston- 16 Galveston Area Council (H-GAC) cooperative pricing; contract number NO. FS12-19, effective date May 31, 2022, to May 31, 2023.

DISCUSSION

The Police Department's current mobile command vehicle was purchased in 2000 and is no longer equipped with the relevant technology required to meet the Police Department’s mission. The average life expectancy of this type of vehicle is approximately 20 years due to evolving technologies and the general unavoidable deterioration over time.

This new mobile command vehicle will assist the Department in managing critical and non-critical incidents throughout the City, such as natural disasters, large community events, major crime scene investigations, and SWAT operations. This vehicle will also serve as a backup emergency communications center in the event that the Department's communications center suffers a catastrophic failure.

17 Once the Department has received delivery of the new mobile command vehicle, the existing vehicle will be submitted for sale or auction.

Beginning on January 1, 2022, AB 481 was codified in Government Code sections 7070 through 7075. AB 481 mandated Law Enforcement Agencies (LEA) to obtain approval from their applicable governing body via the adoption of a “military equipment” use policy by ordinance before the LEA funded, acquired, or used such equipment.

In 2022, the Oxnard City Council adopted the Oxnard Police Department Military Equipment Use Policy to allow the Oxnard Police Department to continue to use the equipment specified therein. The Policy exists in section 708 of the Oxnard Police Department’s Policy Manual and is visible to the public on the Oxnard Police Department’s website:
(https://sites.google.com/oxnardpd.org/department-policy-manual/department-policy-manual).

The Oxnard Police Department Policy section 708 states that “all future acquisitions of any item deemed to be “military equipment” under AB 481 will require a further public meeting, policy update, and council approval.”
Government Code 7070(c)5 defines command vehicles as “command and control vehicles that are either built or modified to facilitate the operational control and direction of public safety units” Therefore, this vehicle is considered “military equipment.” City Council must approve its purchase and use.

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES

This agenda item supports Public Safety strategy. The purpose of the Public Safety strategy is to restore and modernize the delivery of public safety services to provide for the safety of our neighborhoods and health of our community.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
18 The cost of the mobile command vehicle will be $700,094.75 for the chassis and outfitting from Emergency Vehicle Inc., with the remaining allocation of $49,905.25 to be utilized for the purchase of radios, computers, and tethered unmanned aerial vehicle by a yet-to-be-identified vendor. The Police Department will work with the Purchasing Department to ensure all vendor selections and purchases follow the City of Oxnard Purchasing Policy. There is sufficient FY2022-23 budget available in the APRA Funds for this purchase.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

INFORMATION/CONSENT AGENDA
AGENDA ITEM NO. K.3

DATE: February 7, 2023

TO: Housing Authority

FROM: Emilio Ramirez, Housing Director, (805) 385-8094, [email protected]

SUBJECT: First Amendment to Agreement A-8434 for Housing Professional Services.

RECOMMENDATION

That the Housing Authority Board of Commissioners Approve and authorize the execution of the First Amendment to Agreement A-8434 with Nan McKay & Associates, Inc. for Housing Choice Voucher case management services, increasing the amount from $200,000 to $400,000 and extending the term by one year

(The Community Services, Public Safety, Housing & Development Committee approved 2-0 on January 10, 2023)

BACKGROUND

The Housing Authority of the City of Oxnard manages a total of 1,904 Housing Choice Vouchers which provide housing assistance to low-income families. In March 2020, the Housing Authority of the City of Oxnard adopted a temporary operational plan in an effort to minimize the spread of COVID-19 and any disruption of services to participant families.

Our offices were closed to the public, inspections were suspended, day to day business was conducted by telephone, fax or email, meetings were canceled, staff worked remotely on a rotational schedule, rent increases were halted and a series of cleaning and sanitization operations were delayed. All of these modifications to operations resulted in a significant backlog of inspections, certifications, new admissions, and rent increases. Simultaneously, the need for emergency housing services grew exponentially as the impact of COVID-19 continued to spread.

Through the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, the Housing Authority of the City of Oxnard was awarded $400,000 to help offset the costs of preventing and responding to the COVID-19 impact on families and individuals who lacked adequate housing. Around the same time, the Department of Housing and Urban Development created the Emergency Housing Choice Vouchers program to help public housing authorities respond to the housing crisis created by the pandemic. While the program is similar to the Housing Choice Voucher program, it intends to offer focused rental assistance to homeless persons and requires collaboration with the Continuum of Care of Ventura County, housing navigation support, and rapid turnaround time frames. The Housing Authority of the City of Oxnard applied for and was awarded Emergency Housing Vouchers. At no point during the pandemic did the agency stop assistance to participating families nor suspend the issuance of new vouchers.

In December 2021, many of the alternatives for numerous statutory and regulatory requirements to provide administrative flexibilities and relief to public housing authorities during the COVID-19 pandemic expired. This change required the Housing Authority of the City of Oxnard to resume its normal operations, which now included a backlog, expansion of programs, and new staff. The increase in workload was not manageable with existing staff levels. In addition, significant efforts were underway to transition to on-line platforms, which are part of the agency’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

ANALYSIS

In order to optimize staffing levels and increase productivity, the Housing Authority of the City of Oxnard on November 32 22, 2021 issued a request for proposals for temporary staffing to support the City of Oxnard’s Housing Choice Voucher Program.

Nan McKay and Associates, Inc.’s proposal was deemed the most responsive bid and on February 22, 2022, the Housing Authority of the City of Oxnard entered into an agreement with Nan McKay & Associates for the amount of $200,000 (Agreement Number A-8434). This has afforded the Housing Authority of the City of Oxnard an opportunity to resume normal operations and address backlogs while focusing on other business aspects such as streamlining processes, moving towards on-line certifications, and staff training.

The pricing per full program management of case files for active program participants is $195 and $110 for new admission cases. The postage and mailing expenses are invoiced based on actual expenses incurred.

The scope of work includes:

1. Comprehensive file case management including annual recertifications, rent increases, interim income changes, and on-going case management

2. Waiting list and eligibility management including determining initial eligibility, briefing applicants, waitlist management and voucher issuance

3. Technical assistance

4. Transition to the on-line platform, known as Rent Café, for program participants to complete recertifications

5. Quality Control

6. Customer Service support for cases assigned to contractor

The Housing Authority of the City of Oxnard has assigned 1,200 files to Nan McKay & Associates for comprehensive management. With this added support, inspections are up to date, recertifications have been transitioned to the on-line platform, and all backlogs have been resolved. However, eight of the fourteen staff members are in the beginning stages of training, including the management team, development of policies and procedures are still underway for operating on a virtual platform, and the waitlist management function still needs to be addressed. For these reasons, the Housing Authority of the City of Oxnard is requesting approval to increase the contract amount from $200,000 to $400,000 and to extend the term by one year. This will allow the efficient processing and case management of the Housing Choice Voucher Program files while staff continues training and the remaining goals are completed.

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 is sufficient FY22-23 budget available from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Housing Voucher Administration Support Program to cover the cost of the amendment. There is no financial impact to the General Fund.

DATE: February 7, 2023

TO: City Council and Housing Authority

FROM: Emilio Ramirez, Housing Director, (805) 385-8094, [email protected]

SUBJECT: First Amendment to Agreement 9660-22-HO for Housing Contracts Administration Services.

RECOMMENDATION

1. That the City Council approve and authorize the execution of a First Amendment to Agreement 9660-22-HO with Michael Baker International to increase the not to exceed amount on their contract from $120,000 to $481,000; and

(The Community Services, Public Safety, Housing & Development Committee approved 2-0 on January 10, 2023.)

BACKGROUND

On February 25, 2022, the City of Oxnard issued Request for Proposals Number HO22-92 for On-Call Housing Contracts Consulting services. Bidders were asked to respond with a proposal for all or one of the following on-call services:

1. Environmental compliance;

2. Labor Compliance Monitoring of Affordable Housing Developments and Capital Improvement Projects;

3. Monitor projects with long-term project performance periods;

4. Project Management Services;

5. Oversight and administration of various City and Housing Authority Housing contracts.

The City of Oxnard received two responsive bids from Raney Planning & Management, Inc and Michael Baker International by the March 25, 2022, closing date. Raney submitted a proposal to provide labor compliance monitoring services while Michael Baker submitted a proposal for environmental and labor compliance monitoring services. Staff selected both bidders and executed contracts with each bidder in June 2022 for labor compliance monitoring services. However, Michael Baker’s contract also includes environmental and federal Section 3 compliance services.

The total contract amount for the Michael Baker International contract is $120,000. The total contract amount for Raney Planning & Management is $80,000. The Housing Authority may also elect to use the services under either contract.

DISCUSSION

Staff anticipates that at least six housing developments, funded in part with Federal, State, or local funds will begin construction over the next three years and require labor compliance and environmental compliance services. This includes the following projects:
69 1. The Etting Road Apartments is a 100% affordable fifty-six-unit rental development located at 2161 East Etting Road, in Oxnard to be built by Cabrillo Economic Development Corporation. The contribution from the City of Oxnard is $1,854,000 in federal HOME funds and the Housing Authority of the City of Oxnard will allocate thirteen VASH project- based vouchers. A twenty-four-month construction schedule is anticipated starting in July 2023. This project will require labor and Section 3 compliance monitoring services at an estimated cost of $71,000.

2. Cypress Place is a 100% affordable ninety-unit rental development located at 5482 and 5536 Cypress Road in Oxnard to be built by Peoples Self Help Housing. The contribution of the City of Oxnard is $1,600,000 in federal HOME funds and $1,500,000 in federal Community Development Block Grant funds. A twenty-four-month construction schedule is anticipated starting in February 2023. This project will require labor and Section 3 compliance monitoring services at an estimated cost of $69,000.

3. Las Cortes is a 100% affordable 109-unit rental development located near the corner of Rose Ave and 1st Street in Oxnard to be built by Urban Housing Communities. The contribution from the Housing Authority of the City of Oxnard is eighty project-based vouchers. A twenty-four-month construction schedule is anticipated with the earliest potential start date in December 2023. This project will require labor and Section 3 compliance monitoring services at an estimated cost of $69,000.

4. The Althea Apartments project will reconstruct eight public housing units lost in a fire in 2019. The project is located at 1361-1375 Althea Court in Oxnard and is estimated to begin construction in 2023 with an estimated twelve- month construction period. Funds from an insurance claim on the property will pay for a portion of the cost to rebuild the units, any additional funding necessary to rebuild the units will be paid with federal grant funds. In addition to labor compliance and Section 3 monitoring, this project may also require an environmental assessment to be completed prior to any construction activities taking place on site. The total estimated cost is $89,000.

5. Gabriel’s House is an existing transitional housing project located at 1450 South Rose Avenue in Oxnard and will be rehabilitated by the City of Oxnard at an estimated cost of $900,000 in federal Community Development Block Grant funds. The estimated five-month construction schedule is anticipated to begin in 2023. This project will require labor and Section 3 compliance monitoring services at an estimated cost of $18,000.

6. The 2nd and B Overnight Shelter Tenant Improvements is a 110-bed homeless shelter located on the ground floor of a five-story building known as the Homeless Solutions Center will be built by Community Development Partners. The project is located at 241 West Second Street in Oxnard. The City of Oxnard will contribute $347,528 in Permanent Local Housing Allocation funds and an additional $4,399,213 in local Measure O funds. The estimated construction time is six- months starting in the Fall of 2023. This project will require labor compliance monitoring services at an estimated cost of $27,000.

Staff also anticipates that further environmental compliance services will be required for future projects over the next three years. Staff requests an allocation of $18,000 for on call environmental services inclusive of $6,000 for future housing authority funded projects, $6,000 for future Community Development Block Grant funded projects, and $6,000 for future HOME funded projects.

To pay for all of the above-described services staff requests authorization to increase the existing Michael Baker contract amount from $120,000 to $481,000.

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES

FINANCIAL IMPACT

State and Federal grants are available to cover the expenses of the consulting services described in this report. To move the funds to the associated projects, on February 21, 2023 as part of the Council’s consideration of Housing's mid-year reallocation budget, staff is seeking Council’s approval for the use of $118,400 in HOME funding for the Etting Road 70 Project, the Cypress Place Project, and on-call consulting services, as well as $51,600 in CDBG funding for services associated with the Cypress Road project, the Gabriel’s House project, and on-call consulting services. Therefore, the use of HOME and CDBG funds to pay for consulting services under this amendment to the Michael Baker contract is contingent on City Council approval of the mid-year reallocation budget of HOME and CDBG funds at the February 21, 2023 Council meeting. The funding for the Las Cortes and Althea Labor Compliance has funding available in the Housing Authority Central Fund and no further action from the Board of Commissioners is necessary to utilize those funds. The Housing Authority Capital fund has funding available for the Althea Environmental Assessment and the on- call consulting services and no further action from the Board of Commissioners is necessary to utilize those funds. Lastly, the Permanent Local Housing Allocation funding is already in place for the 2nd and B Overnight Shelter project.

For Finance Use Only: $118,400 - HOME Fund (Org. 2028101), Project G2009 - 775221 ADMIN&PLAN, $51,600 - CDBG Fund (Org. 2018101), $27,000 PLHA (Org. 2208101), Project M2102 - 215101 PLHA NAV.CENTER DEV&ADMIN, $164,000 - Hsg. Authority/Non-City Funds.

AGENDA ITEM NO. K.5

DATE: February 7, 2023

TO: City Council

FROM: Emilio Ramirez, Housing Director, (805) 385-8094, [email protected]

SUBJECT: Mobile Home Park Rent Stabilization System Annual Activity Report for 2022.

RECOMMENDATION

That the City Council receive and file the 2022 Annual Activity Report for the Mobile Home Park Rent Stabilization System, as adopted by the Mobile Home Park Rent Review Board.

(This item did not originate in Committee.)

BACKGROUND

The Mobile Home Park Rent Review Board is a quasi-judicial body established pursuant to Chapter 24-5 of the City Code. Pursuant to Chapter 24-6 of the Code, the Board is required to submit an annual report of the Rent Stabilization System’s activities to the City Council.

At its meeting of December 5, 2022, the Board adopted the attached Annual Activity Report for 2022, and authorized and directed Board Chairman Efrain Jimenez to execute and transmit it to the City Council. In summary, the Annual Activity Report contains two main activities:
• Nineteen (19) of the twenty parks in Oxnard applied for the maximum 4% Consumer Price Index (C.P.I.) increase allowed under City Code 24-9(A)(1). One park chose not to apply for a C.P.I. increase. • One homeowner protest was received in 2022 challenging the C.P.I increase for 2022. Following an evidentiary hearing, the 4% C.P.I. was upheld.

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES

The Mobile Home Rent Stabilization Ordinance was adopted as part of the City Code in 1982 and last amended in 1998. It does not fall squarely into any of the five priorities that Council adopted for FY 2021-2025.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

There is no financial impact.

AGENDA ITEM NO. L.1

DATE: February 7, 2023

TO: City Council

FROM: Phillip Molina, City Treasurer, (805) 385-7808, [email protected]

SUBJECT: City Treasurer’s Monthly Investment Report for the Period Ending December 31, 2022. (10 minutes)

RECOMMENDATION

That the City Council receive and file the report.

Please click the following link to view the required Measure M pre-recorded presentation video: https://youtu.be/v3s283aIki0

BACKGROUND

The City of Oxnard’s December 2022 investment report will be brief this reporting period. This report is submitted to the City Council pursuant to California Government Code section 53646 and the Investment Policy adopted by the City Council.

I wish to give a special thanks to the city staff without whose assistance this report could not be generated. This report does not show the fund balances, nor disbursements, nor total receipts of the City of Oxnard, because Oxnard Municipal Code identifies the Oxnard Finance Department is charged with producing that information. This report does reflect the monthly investment information in the similar format that has been presented in previous months, along with the amounts in the Bank's statements as of December 31, 2022. The following data is included in this report.

For the month of December, the investment portfolio earned an estimated $739,285.67 including LAIF and the Ventura County Investment Pool, and an efficiency rating of 95%, with estimated annual earnings of $6,871,428.

Not in this sequence, it is our intention to show the public, the Mayor, and City Council the amounts in each city bank account so that you can see the percentage of available cash to the amount actually invested. You will notice the large buildup of cash in the bank account for the city’s general business. This is the result of the anticipated Federal payments, and it is the intent of the Treasurer to greatly increase the amount of cash invested so that once again it exceeds 90%. For December we were at 95% and have exceeded our goal.

Next, we will show you in a bar chart the amounts invested separated by their maturity date or year. This will allow you to see the ladder or spread of the investments in order to generate a higher return. Third, we explain the cash flows over the last 15 months so you can judge the management of the cash and determine whether there are periods during the year when more money is available for a short period, overnight investments versus 2-, 3-, 4-, or 5-year maturities. Fourth, we will show you the daily cash position for December 31, 2022, so that you can see how the Treasurer’s department reviews our cash balances every day to assure that the city has enough liquidity to cover its obligations.

And next, we make available the detailed list of every investment that the city currently holds as of the last day of December 31, 2022, upon request.

This information is being provided to you using both charts and graphs. The charts are presented so that the Mayor, 101
Council, and the public can begin to see the actual amounts in the city’s bank accounts at Bank of America. The graphs are created in order to show trends and relationships that are best understood in that method of presentation. So, while this report is brief in the number of pages, we hope to respond to any questions you may have.

This agenda item is a routine operational item or does not relate to the five strategic priorities adopted by City Council on March 16, 2021.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

The City’s total amount invested as of December 30, 2022, purchased at a tax cost of $398,419,077.50, with a PAR value of $398,310,000.00. Because the upward movement in the GSE market interest rates produces greater earnings, it also results in an estimated net market loss if we had to sell the older lower-yielding instruments in the market today.

USBank’s tax costs and PAR/Face Value

In a market (the city’s policy requires risk-free rate of return) of fixed interest rates, any instrument purchased today will decrease in value as the interest rates increase and vice versa. However, with a passive portfolio, one where we intend to hold each instrument until it matures, we can expect to receive the PAR or Face value when we sell back each individual GSE (government-sponsored enterprise bond) or CD so that there would be no market loss.

Cash balances on the 31st day of December 2022 in each authorized city bank account with Bank of America totaled $25,197,551.59 in the three Bank of America accounts.

(Per Bank Statements as of December 31, 2022)

The investments have a par value of $398,310,000 and an estimated market value of $374,485,679.15. Some were purchased months or years earlier and during the period of controlled GSE interest rates set by the former President. To provide greater return we can try to reduce the amount invested with LAIF and spread that over the 2,3,4, and 5- year terms. Recently, LAIF was generating an average return that is now moving upward with the City’s average portfolio return. LAIF’s December average apportionment rate was 1.35%, which is less than the current GSE (government sponsored enterprise) rates and less than our average portfolio yield. Reducing the amount in LAIF would produce greater returns, however, doing so would also reduce the liquidity of the portfolio.

Estimated market value is based on price paid

The largest portfolio’s average current earnings have a yield on a 365-day basis of 1.88% year to date. Based on the face value of the investments, using the average portfolio yield for estimating the amount of interest earnings for the month of December produces estimated annual interest earnings of $6,871,428 million:

102
Estimated annual and monthly earnings

Now, when we look back at the monthly cash flows of recent years, we found that the month with the highest cash outflow was in 2018 with a one-month outflow of $37.4 million. And the fact that we have $65 million invested in LAIF and $31 million in the Ventura County Investment Pool, which can be drawn down within one day, means there should be no normal condition that would require the Treasurer to sell investments before their maturity. Before we reveal the details, we want to know the level of efficiency in our investment team. But first, we look to see how much cash is available, and how much cash is invested to determine the efficiency of the team. The goal is to invest 100% of available cash, and we know that for normal/average operations we should retain a daily balance of $3-5 million in the bank accounts. For the month of December, our efficiency rating is 95%.

Efficiency rating

The daily cash report for the last working day in December shows sufficient available cash to satisfy the city’s booked short-term obligations.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT

REPORTS
AGENDA ITEM NO. L.2

DATE: February 7, 2023

TO: City Council

FROM: Alexander Nguyen, City Manager, (805) 385-7430, [email protected]

RECOMMENDATION

That the City Council conducts a robust oral discussion and deliberation regarding the following:

1. The need for the City to shift gears and make adjustments to align with economic and social circumstances;

2. Modify ARPA projects;

3. Modify the timelines of Council priorities from five to seven years; and

4. Extend the Restoration Budgets from three to five years.

Please click the following link to view the required Measure M pre-recorded presentation video: https://youtu.be/qaD0euj5YbE

BACKGROUND

In March 2021 the City Council set its five-year priorities (Attachment A).

In the 2021-2022 fiscal year budget the Council set the outlook for three years of "Restoration Budgets" for the City, with the newly approved Measure E funding, to catch up on restorations to the City’s deferred maintenance, programs, and services.

In March 2021 Congress passed legislation that provided one-time funding to all Cities and Counties in the nation via the American Rescue Plan Act, with certain restrictions and deadlines for use. Oxnard received $59.4M.

DISCUSSION

In the immediate aftermath of the global COVID pandemic, the world economy is in turbulent flux, supply chains are disrupted, inflation has spiked, and most, if not all, sectors of the economy are experiencing a significant labor shortage.

Local governments are not immune from these external forces. Therefore, we must recognize this and shift gears to adjust to the pace these phenomenon force upon our day-to-day operations as well as our larger scale projects.

To set and meet realistic expectations:

We will recommend modifying ARPA projects to ensure compliance with the funding’s deadlines; the modification recommendation chart is Attachment B.

We will recommend modifying the timelines of our current Capital Improvement Projects in order to balance our expected deadlines with our capacity to deliver projects (Attachment C). 105

We will recommend modifying the timelines of the Council’s priorities from five to seven years.

We will recommend modifying the outlook of Restoration Budgets from three to five years.

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES

This agenda item supports Economic Development strategy. The purpose of Economic Development strategy is to focus on the retention and expansion of Oxnard businesses by increasing the skills and employability of our local workforce, invite new business investments, and target site-based redevelopment opportunities.

This agenda item supports the Organizational Effectiveness strategy. The purpose of the Organizational Effectiveness strategy is to reinforce, stabilize, improve, and strengthen the organizational foundation of the City in order to build a modern, high-functioning City government that effectively and efficiently supports the operating departments in providing high-quality services and programs for our residents and businesses.

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 adjustments and modifications recommended do not exceed the ARPA funding or the City’s approved budget.

BACKGROUND

The City of Oxnard serves potable water to more than 43,000 service connections. Approximately 85% of those services are single and multi-family residential. The City is responsible for operating and maintaining water production, treatment facilities, blending stations and a distribution system to deliver potable water to its customers.

Approximately a third of the City’s water supply is imported water purchased from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California (Met), provided by the Calleguas Municipal Water District. Another third is produced by the City’s groundwater wells and treated by reverse osmosis or blended and disinfected before entering the City distribution system.

The final third of the water supply is groundwater pumped by the United Water Conservation District (UWCD) for the City. Finally, The City has an Advanced Water Purification Facility (AWPF) that produces recycled water sold to agricultural, industrial and the golf course as customers.

The Public Works and Transportation Committee (PWTC) requested that staff provide various reports related to Water, Recycled Water, and Wastewater. Specifically for Water, the PWTC desired a Water facility virtual tour as well as an update on Oxnard’s water sources and the drought, and information on the cost of water, the Urban Water Management Plan, and recycled water. This report is regarding water policy and related litigation, which informs the other reports and is relevant to understanding the long-term future of Oxnard’s water supply.

DISCUSSION

In order to create water reliability and efficiency, Oxnard's water policy focuses on both diversifying our portfolio by gaining access to all possible sources of water (State water, groundwater, and recycled water), and on conjunctive use, which means managing the various water sources in a coordinated fashion to maximize the yield (and minimize the cost) of the overall water resource. To accomplish these two goals, the City is engaged in a multi-pronged approach:

1. Advocate for water policies that encourage or incentivize direct deliveries of recycled water; 123

2. Advocate for water policies that encourage storage, retrieval and transfer of water stored from Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) and/or recharge operations;

3. Advocate for water policies that encourage storage, retrieval and transfer of water stored from imported water recharge; and

4. Litigate legal claims to groundwater rights.

In the past few years, the City has been active in advocating for its interests through the Fox Canyon Groundwater Management Agency (GMA), Calleguas and Met as well as meeting with various water partners across the region. More specifically, the City has been engaged in multiple water policy and related litigation efforts, as described below.

GMA Policy Efforts

Councilmember Perello represents Oxnard and four other cities on the GMA Board. City staff participates in every GMA and GMA subcommittee meeting and works closely with GMA staff to represent the City’s interests in managing the groundwater basin. As of late, these efforts have focused on two particular areas: revising a GMA resolution to allow Oxnard's use of recycled water pumping allocations and prioritizing regional projects for funding purposes.

Oxnard is working with the GMA to revise its Resolution 2013-02 regarding the Recycled Water Pumping Allocation (RWPA). In 2013, the GMA passed this resolution concerning the implementation of the first phase of the Groundwater Recovery Enhancement and Treatment (GREAT) Program and the associated recycled water management plan. The resolution allowed the City to receive one acre-foot of groundwater pumping allocation for each acre-foot of recycled water it sold. Rather than paying the full cost of the recycled water in cash, our customers may pay partly in cash and partly by transferring these groundwater pumping allocations, which to date have reached approximately 6,000 in total.

However, the resolution does not allow the City to use these allocations so long as the water levels in a particular geographic region (called the Forebay) are low and hydrologic conditions are poor, and thus, Oxnard's account has been frozen for some years. This winter, we anticipate coming before the GMA Board with the support of GMA staff to propose a resolution to allow Oxnard to either pump or sell these allocations, thereby realizing the full value.

Additionally, Oxnard has advocated the GMA prioritize various projects around the region. The GMA’s Operations Committee is currently engaged in that process. This is important for three funding-related reasons. First, the State has already begun passing through some opportunities for water infrastructure grants to the GMA. Going forward, staff expects some large State and federal grants to be available, and these grants will likely require GMA approval. Second, entities around the region intend to inform our legislators of those project priorities as well so that they can uniformly advocate in Washington, D.C. and Sacramento for our regional needs. Third, what is not funded by grants and lobbying efforts will need to be raised locally, and the GMA has begun conversations about a replenishment fee, which would attach to the standard pumping fee, in order to spread these costs among all pumpers. To be able to spread those costs, the projects need stakeholder support, so again, it is relevant to draft a list of preferred projects that the region finds most critical.

Calleguas/Met Policy Efforts

Calleguas imports and distributes water from Met. The majority of the water arrives via the State Water Project from northern California to Ventura County. To increase reliability, Calleguas also pumps water from its Las Posas Well Field.

As of late, Calleguas has begun a process to consider expanding its role to providing other sources of reliable supplemental water to the region.

Councilmember Perello and Oxnard staff have been active with Calleguas in multiple ways. In the past year, Calleguas has hosted monthly Drought Task Force meetings (geared toward elected officials and high level management across the region) as well as monthly purveyor meetings (targeted toward management and high level operations staff) in unifying our approach to the current drought and opportunities for actions or projects that mitigate the impacts of future droughts.

We have not only participated in those meetings, we have advocated zealously for Oxnard’s interests in the region. We have supported and continue to support Calleguas and other regional partners’ efforts to exert pressure on Met to invest in infrastructure toward and in our County. Oxnard sent our own letter to Met dated August 31, 2022, to request funding to build out the AWPF and more aquifer storage and recovery (ASR) wells, asking Met to consider storing its own water in the Oxnard basin, and encouraging Met to lobby the State to allow faster approvals of indirect potable reuse (IPR), 124
meaning injecting and storing our recycled water in our groundwater basin. Most recently, Oxnard initiated a County- wide discussion regarding whether there should be regional water infrastructure; Calleguas will now lead this important conversation while Oxnard stays very active in the discussion.

Operation and Expansion of the AWPF and Renewal of the Recycled Water Agreement

On January 13, 2015, the City Council approved the Full Advanced Treatment Recycled Water Management and Use Agreement. That agreement spells out the complex relationship by which the City sells its recycled water to various entities within and outside of the City’s boundaries. Since we do not yet have a permit to inject the water into the ground and later extract it with the rest of our groundwater (called indirect potable reuse or IPR), and California does not allow the blending of recycled water with drinking water (called direct potable reuse or DPR), the current uses of this water are limited unless the City wants to invest millions of dollars in infrastructure for other uses (e.g., irrigation of landscape).

Since a primary goal is to eventually use the recycled water within Oxnard via IPR or DPR for our own water sources, staff does not recommend investing in special infrastructure but is working on drafting a new recycled water agreement with our customers to replace the existing agreement that will soon terminate.

The City’s operational AWPF and the pilot-test Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) Well, which is currently in construction, are key infrastructure components in the realization of IPR, leading to a more drought resistant and reliable water source for the City. A critical policy component to seeing a full realization of the ASR project will involve working with the GMA to identify an accounting program for water injected into the basin, to include unencumbered retrieval of that water for the City’s use when needed. The current theoretical capacity of the City’s operation AWPF facility is 6.25 million gallons per day (MGD). This equates to 7,000 acre-feet per year. To put that number into perspective, 7,000 acre-feet is 27% of the total water consumed by Oxnard’s water customers in Water Year 2021. Within the existing building footprint of the AWPF facility, the first phase of expansion is planned to reach 12.5 MGD (14,000 acre-feet per year). As documented in the City’s Urban Water Management Plan, the product water of AWPF with the subsequent injection and retrieval of that water through a permitted IPR process is a crucial component to mitigating drought impacts in the future. As such, working on policies with the GMA to ensure the AWPF and ASR reach their full potential will be a key focus for staff in the coming years.

Water Litigation

The City is currently engaged in two pieces of litigation regarding water issues. First, in response to the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act-State law passed in 2014 that requires stronger oversight of the basin–the GMA in late 2019 adopted groundwater sustainability plans, later approved by the California Department of Water Resources, that require pumpers to extract significantly less water by 2040. To initiate that process, the GMA in 2019 adopted an allocation ordinance that set the initial pumping allowances and intends to engage the stakeholders within the next 6 to 12 months in the rampdown process, meaning how the pumpers will be required to reduce pumping from their initial allocations to the levels needed in 2040. Oxnard sued the GMA on the allocation ordinance because other entities received flexible allocations (on top of their standard pumping allocations) in acknowledgement of their reliance on other water sources, but Oxnard did not receive the same flexibility for its underpumping of the basin due to use of State Water Project (Met) water. The City retained the law firm Meyers Nave to represent it in these proceedings. The City is working to settle this lawsuit to achieve flexibility provided to other entities by the GMA. Trial in this matter is set for June 2023.

Second, a coalition of agricultural pumpers recently initiated litigation to adjudicate the Oxnard Basin. A groundwater adjudication is a legal proceeding whereby pumpers ask a court to better define the rights that various entities have to use groundwater resources. Through this process, a court assigns specific water rights to water users, can limit groundwater pumping by all users, and compels the cooperation of those who might otherwise refuse to limit their pumping of groundwater. Courts have adjudicated 22 basins in California. Such proceedings can take a decade or longer and be incredibly costly. Oxnard also has retained Meyers Nave to represent it in these proceedings, and their attorneys along with our in-house counsel and City staff are working hard to protect Oxnard’s water rights.
