INFORMATION/CONSENT AGENDA
AGENDA ITEM NO. K.2
DATE: October 17, 2023
TO: City Council
FROM: Jeff Pengilley, Community Development Director, (805) 385-8208, [email protected]
SUBJECT: Adoption of Ord. No. 3032 - Planning & Zoning (PZ) Permit No. 23-580-02: Zoning Text Amendments (ZTA) to the existing regulation of commercial cannabis manufacturing, distribution, testing, and retail dispensaries and creation of indoor commercial cannabis cultivation regulations.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt Ordinance No. 3032 amending Chapters 11 and 16 of the Oxnard City Code pertaining to regulation of cannabis manufacturing, distribution, testing, and retail dispensaries; and amending Oxnard City Code Chapters 11 and 16 to allow up to five (5) indoor cannabis cultivators and eight (8) identified areas in the City where indoor cannabis cultivation is permitted.
(Council and Council Committee provided feedback in 2020 and 2023, respectively. That feedback and the Committee’s 3:0 support of cultivation was incorporated into a draft indoor cultivation ordinance and presented to the Planning Commission for the subject item before the City Council).
BACKGROUND
Ordinance No. 3032 was introduced to the City Council at its October 3, 2023 meeting. Following a public hearing, the Council introduced the ordinance for first reading by title only, waiving further reading by a 7-0 vote. If adopted by Council on October 17, 2023, the ordinance will take effect in thirty days, on November 16, 2023.
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
This agenda item supports the Economic Development strategy. The purpose of the 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.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Adoption of the new cultivation ordinance will enable the City to potentially capture additional cannabis related revenues as identified in the October 3rd City Council staff report. These revenues will depend upon the cultivation market and could vary between $350,000 - $500,000 annual revenue to the City.
COMMITTEE OUTCOME
This item is a Public Hearing and was heard by the Planning Commission, therefore the item did not originate in Committee.

RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt a resolution:
1. Authorizing the City Manager or designee to submit a grant application to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife for an amount not to exceed $300,000 (no local match) in Watershed Grants Program Funding for the Perkins Road Area Restoration and Enhancement Project;

(This item did not originate in Committee.)
BACKGROUND
The Ormond Beach area spans two miles of Oxnard’s shoreline from the northwestern boundary of Pt. Mugu Naval Air Station to the Oxnard/Port Hueneme boundary, and extends over a mile inland. The area includes a recreational beach, rare wildlife and natural habitat, active farmland, active industrial operations, and the Halaco Superfund Site. The City of Oxnard is committed to restoring the Ormond Beach area, as reflected in the 2030 General Plan, which identifies numerous goals and policies for the area, including Community Development (CD-22) which encourages the restoration of the Ormond Beach Wetlands while ensuring appropriate public access.
Restoration efforts, such as removal of existing threats such as nonnative invasive species and water quality contamination, are underway in the Ormond Beach area via grant funding, including the National Coastal Wetlands Conservation grant that The Nature Conservancy is managing, and the Coastal Commission’s Whale Tail grant that City staff is managing.
City Council received a status update on Ormond Beach at the July 27, 2023 Council meeting, including the status of the proposed Ormond Beach Restoration and Public Access Project Plan (OBRAP). As indicated in that report, the OBRAP is currently undergoing an environmental review process with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, referred to as a California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Statutory Exemption for Restoration Projects (SERP). Next steps will include: 1) completing additional technical studies to inform environmental review; 2) progressing design development; 3) initiating an environmental review Plan; 4) proceeding with regulatory approvals and permitting; 5) preparation of construction documents (for Plan implementation after permits attained); and, 6) Plan implementation via construction and adaptive management (if approved). In addition, solidifying an entity to manage Ormond Beach for the long term is a high priority of the Project Partners.
66 The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) accepts restoration grant concept proposals on an ongoing basis through the Watershed Grants Program. City staff, in conjunction with the Ormond Beach Project Partners (The Nature Conservancy, the Coastal Conservancy, and the City) discussed options to utilize the funding to support ongoing restoration and litter abatement at the City-owned properties in Ormond Beach. After consultation with CDFW, staff submitted a proposal, entitled the Ormond Beach Perkins Road Area Restoration Project (the Project) to CDFW on April 19, 2023. CDFW notified the City on August 1, 2023 that the Project received threshold eligibility review and is classified as eligible for funding. This ongoing restoration (mostly invasive plant removal) and litter abatement is permitted work, and is critical to keep progressing in order to meet the longer term vision of the proposed OBRAP.
DISCUSSION
If City Council authorizes the submittal of the grant application, staff will notify CDFW of the authorization, and the submitted concept proposal will continue in CDFW’s review process.
If awarded, the Project will occur in tandem with restoration efforts already underway in the Ormond Beach area. As proposed, this Project is in alignment with items in the proposed OBRAP. The Project works to reverse the degradation of nationally decreasing coastal wetlands in California, improve habitat for fish and wildlife, and improve water quality. The Project will also facilitate the access, enjoyment and stewardship of the wetlands by local and disadvantaged communities. The Project involves two primary objectives to be achieved by Spring of 2026:
1. Restore and enhance the project site (see attached project map), involving a. Non-native, invasive plant eradication and control conducted by members of City Corps and/or the California Conservation Corps
b. Biological and cultural monitoring
c. Trash removal
d. Site security monitoring
2. Engage in community outreach and education, particularly with local disadvantaged communities, to facilitate restoration planning and stewardship of the area, involving:
a. Learning and trainings for students and community
b. Cleanup events for students and community
c. Native seed planting and monitoring
The Project is an essential step that will provide immediate restoration and enhancement through the removal of existing threats such as nonnative invasive species and water quality contamination. The Project will also contribute to the ecological resilience of the larger wetland complex, including Mugu Lagoon on Naval Base Ventura County, by working to eradicate the seed source of invasive plants on the project site. The Project also benefits young people who will be able to both volunteer, learn, and be employed for the successful completion of the project. If awarded, and to the extent necessary, we will continue to work with the Coastal Commission on this Project. All work in the beach areas will occur outside of shorebird nesting season, and work will be overseen by qualified biologists and coordinated with adjacent landowners and Ventura Audubon Society’s biologists as needed.
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
If awarded, Watershed Grants Program funds will be recognized and appropriated to the State & Local Grant Fund (210).

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
INFORMATION/CONSENT AGENDA
AGENDA ITEM NO. K.4
DATE: October 17, 2023
TO: City Council
FROM: Shiri Klima, Deputy City Manager, (805) 385-7487, [email protected]
SUBJECT: Resolution Updating Grant Application Procedures.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt a resolution updating procedures to submit grant applications.
(The Finance and Governance Committee approved this item by a vote of 3-0 on September 26, 2023)
BACKGROUND
On November 6, 2001, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 12,053, establishing procedures to submit grant applications. Currently, all grants applications for funds over $100,000, or grants with any amount of matching funds or any ongoing or additional operating costs, are required to come to City Council before submission; the Council delegated its authority to the City Manager to submit grant applications up to $100,000 without matching funds and without ongoing or additional operating costs requirements. There is no Council delegation of authority for a situation in which the City Manager determines a grant application is due before the next Council meeting. The resolution lists specific language that must be in the staff report recommendation and requires a resolution proposed for City Council adoption as scripted.
DISCUSSION
There is currently a process of coming to City Council which, with committee, has a lead time of six weeks, and there is no urgency option in terms of applying for grants. Staff requests authority to apply for any grant in any amount in which 1) the required matching funds or services (including operational and maintenance costs) do not exceed the City Manager’s spending authority (which is currently is $200,000), and have been previously appropriated; 2) the matching funds and grant do not obligate the City to add any full time equivalent positions; 3) the purpose of the grant implements, and is consistent with, previously adopted City policies, goals or objectives; and 4) the grant proposal has been reviewed and recommended for submission by the appropriate department director(s). With respect to the first criteria, the new cap on the City Manager’s authority is not related to the total grant amount but rather to the total match amount, which aligns his authority regarding grants with his contracts authority.
Second, if the City Manager determines a grant application is due before the next Council meeting, the City Manager may authorize any grant application and must place the executed grant application for ratification at the next available City Council meeting. This will be especially relevant as grant opportunities become available when Council is on recess.
Finally, this version of the grants resolution is silent on the need for a resolution. If a grant requires a particular resolution, that will be attached to the item. If a grant requires a resolution but does not offer particular language, staff can work with the City Attorney’s office to draft something appropriate. If the grant does not require a resolution, one need not be attached. However, the staff report recommendation to the City Council will list the grant amount; the match amount, if any; any budget appropriation needed; the obligation for additional staffing, operational costs, and/or maintenance costs, if any; the granting agency or nature of the grant; and the intended use of grant funds. 72 STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
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.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no financial impact.

INFORMATION/CONSENT AGENDA
AGENDA ITEM NO. K.5
DATE: October 17, 2023
TO: City Council
FROM: Michael Wolfe, Public Works Director, (805) 385-8055, [email protected]
SUBJECT: Agreement 32400183 with Black Gold Industries for On-Call Citywide Hazardous and Unknown Waste Identification, Collection, and Disposal Services.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council approve and authorize the Mayor to execute an Agreement with Black Gold Industries for citywide known and unknown hazardous waste identification, collection, and disposal services for a total amount not to exceed $500,000, beginning with a one-year term ending October 17, 2024, with the option for two consecutive one-year extensions. If extended, the final term date will be October 17, 2026.
(Public Works and Transportation Committee approved 3-0)
BACKGROUND
The following Public Works Department Divisions encounter various types of hazardous wastes and unknown hazardous materials due to the operations they conduct on a day-to-day basis: Parks, Streets, Fleet, Facilities, Wastewater, Environmental Resources, Special Districts and Water. Hazardous materials are defined in California Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 22 and the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Title 49. A hazardous material is one that poses an unreasonable risk to the health and safety of employees, the public, or the environment if it is not properly controlled during handling, storage, manufacture, processing, packaging, use, disposal, or transportation. They may be gases, liquids, solids, or combinations of these physical states. A hazardous waste service is necessary given that unknown waste and materials/items must be packaged, and transported with strict procedures and guidelines to limit risks. The unknown materials/items must then be identified and properly disposed of which is not the typical disposal process through Environmental Resources.
Routinely the Public Works Divisions will utilize the vendor for the following:
• Oil and oil filters
• Solvents
• Antifreeze
• Aerosols
• Chemicals
• Paints
DISCUSSION
City of Oxnard Public Works Department encounters unknown hazardous materials in the public right of way which employees do not have the proper training, equipment or the proper disposal outlets to remove these materials. Also, such services are required for emergency responses, vehicle accidents, fires, and other related incidents. Besides removing and 76 disposing of hazardous waste from Public Works Division facilities, the vendor will be utilized for burned/abandoned vehicles, hazardous roadway spills and unknown hazardous waste/materials from illegal dumping in the public right-of- way that will include testing and identifying substances, labeling, documenting and transporting to a proper waste facility for recycling, reuse, and reclamation.
The vendor is to furnish all labor, materials, supplies, and equipment to complete the work as required by this solicitation.
In addition, the vendor is to provide cleaning and recovery services that arise due to spills, accidents, or any other type of unforeseen event. Additionally, the vendor is responsible for responding to urgent matters within 2 hours and within 24 hours for non-emergency.
The City’s Purchasing Department released a Request for Bid (RFB) PW24-01 for On-Call Hazardous Waste Identification, Collection and Disposal Services on July 17, 2023, with a bid due date of August 8, 2023. The RFB PW24-01 received two bids from Black Gold Industries and Clean Harbors Environmental Services, Inc.
The bids were reviewed by the Purchasing Department and Streets Division. Staff has determined Black Gold Industries to be the lowest, responsive bidder pursuant to the process outlined in the Oxnard Municipal Code. Staff has confirmed that Black Gold Industries meets all required City contractual provisions including possession of a City business tax certificate, insurance certificates and corporate filing with the California Secretary of State. Based upon the available information and research performed to date, staff believes that the vendor is capable of satisfactorily providing the necessary services. Furthermore, Black Gold Industries has been providing these same services for the past year.
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
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 cost for this Agreement with Black Gold Industries shall not exceed $500,000 over the full term, which can be up to three years, if extended. The estimated spending plan in Fiscal Year 2023-24 is $107,100 commencing October 18, 2023.
Sufficient appropriations are included in the Adopted FY 2023-24 Operating budget. Funds for subsequent fiscal years will be requested during the annual budget process for the City Council’s consideration.

INSTRUCTION FOR SUBMITTING INSURANCE CERTIFICATES AND ENDORSEMENT FORMS
Certificates of Insurance
The sample accord form on the following page is provided to facilitate your preparation and submission of certificates of insurance. You may use this or any industry form that shows coverage as broad as that shown on the attached sample. Please note the certificate holder address must be as shown on the attached sample accord form with the contract number and insurance exhibit identification information completed.
Improperly addressed certificates may delay the contract start -up date because the City’s practice is to return unidentifiable insurance certificates to the insured for clarification as to the contract number. Cancellation provisions must be endorsed to the policy. Modifying the certificate does not change coverage or obligate the carrier to provide notice of cancellation.
Endorsement Forms
Original endorsements are required for commercial general liability and business automobile liability insurance policies and must be attached to the applicable certificate of insurance. City preference is that you use the endorsement forms which are attached. Substitute forms will be accepted, however, as long as they include provisions comparable to the attached.
