AGENDA ITEM NO. G.1
DATE: January 2, 2024
TO: City Council
FROM: Stephen Fischer, City Attorney, (805) 385-7483, [email protected]
SUBJECT: Ratification of Severe Storms Emergency Proclamation
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt a resolution ratifying the Proclamation of the Director of Emergency Services of the City of Oxnard Proclaiming the Existence of a Local Emergency
BACKGROUND
Government Code section 8630 and Chapter 6 of the Oxnard City Code ("OCC") empower the City Manager of the City of Oxnard (“City”), acting in the capacity of the Director of Emergency Services, to proclaim the existence or threatened existence of a local emergency when the City is affected or likely to be affected by a public calamity and the City Council is not in session.
On December 21, 2023, the City was inundated with a rainstorm that brought with it what the Los Angeles Times described as "a once-in-a-millennium rainfall." The National Weather Service estimated that approximately 1.36 billion gallons of water dropped on Oxnard in a 60 minute period in the early morning of December 21. The estimated 4.5 inches falling between 1:00 a.m. and 3:00 a.m. the morning of December 21 caused major flooding throughout the City, with standing water over 4 feet high in many areas.
In responding to the emergency, the Police, Fire, and Public Works Departments closely coordinated actions and staffing augmentations to ensure staff could meet the needs of Oxnard residents during this extraordinary weather event. This included having additional emergency response units and specialty-trained swift water rescue teams available. Public Works had additional staff to manage road closures, flooding issues, and downed trees. The City’s Emergency Operations Response (EOC) was activated to determine locations and the severity of flooding conditions, determine the status of roads and streets, coordinate City resource deployment, facilitate public information and coordination with adjacent jurisdictions, and support shelter operations among other things.
Damage assessment is still underway but to date, 172 residential structures have been reported to have some level of water intrusion. Of those 172 structures, 36 of them reported water intrusion between 6 and 36 inches. City and County staff continue to collect initial damage estimates and conduct verification visits as time and circumstances permit. In addition to the damaged structures, over 324 vehicles have been reported to be damaged.
As a result of the emergency, the City Manager, in his role as the City's Director of Emergency Services, signed a resolution proclaiming the existence of a local emergency on December 27, 2023 ("Emergency Proclamation"). The Emergency Proclamation is now before the Oxnard City Council for ratification.
Pursuant to Government Code Section 8630, the condition and powers granted through the proclamation continue for seven (7) days unless ratified by a resolution of the City Council. The resolution before you confirms and ratifies the local emergency consistent with Section 8630. Council must reconsider the local emergency every 60 days for it to continue.
6 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.

21 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
INFORMATION/CONSENT AGENDA
AGENDA ITEM NO. K.2
DATE: January 2, 2024
TO: Oxnard Community Development Commission Successor Agency
FROM: Ashley Golden, Assistant City Manager, (805) 385-7478, [email protected]
SUBJECT: Ninth Annual Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule 2024-25.
RECOMMENDATION
That the Community Development Commission Successor Agency adopt a Resolution approving the Ninth Annual Recognized Obligation Payment Schedule (ROPS) 24-25 covering the period of July 1, 2024 - June 30, 2025.
(This item did not originate in Committee.)
BACKGROUND
As part of the 2011 Budget Act and to protect funding for core public services at the local level, the California Legislature approved the dissolution of the state’s four hundred Redevelopment Agencies (RDAs). On February 1, 2012, all RDAs in the state of California were officially dissolved. As a result of eliminating RDAs, property tax revenues are now used to pay required payments on existing bonds, other obligations, and pass-through payments to local governments.
The remaining property tax revenues that exceed the enforceable obligations are allocated to cities, counties, special districts, and school and community college districts.
To help facilitate the wind-down process at the local level, each city formed a Successor Agency (SA), which manages ongoing redevelopment projects, makes payments on enforceable obligations, and disposes of redevelopment assets. In the City of Oxnard, the City Council acts as the SA to Oxnard’s former RDA, the Community Development Commission.
Each SA has an Oversight Board (OB) that supervises its work. As specified in California Senate Bill 107 and beginning on July 1, 2018, all OB’s in the County were consolidated into one OB, the Ventura County Consolidated Oversight Board (County OB). The 7-member County OB comprises representatives of the local agencies from Ventura County cities, special districts, and K-14 educational agencies. The County OB members have a fiduciary responsibility to holders of enforceable obligations and the local agencies that would benefit from property tax distributions from the former redevelopment project areas. Following SA approval of this item, staff will forward ROPS 24-25 to the County OB for approval on January 24, 2024. Once the County OB approves, staff will submit ROPS 24-25 to the California Department of Finance (DOF) for final approval.
Pursuant to California Health and Safety Code Section 34177(l)(1), the City, as SA to the former Oxnard Community Development Commission, must prepare an annual ROPS documenting the enforceable obligations of the former RDA for the coming fiscal year. This ROPS covers the period July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025 (ROPS 24-25) and, per California Health and Safety Code Section 34177(m), must be submitted to DOF after approval by the County OB, no later than February 1, 2024.
The ROPS 24-25 period totals $10,203,152 in SA enforceable obligations. The Total Outstanding Obligation, which is the sum of all of the Oxnard SA's obligations, stands at $66,249,450 in ROPS 24-25, down from the ROPS 23-24 Total Outstanding Obligation of $76,243,853. These obligations include bond debt service, developer agreement payments, and other obligations enforceable by the SA.
22 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
Approval of the Ninth Annual ROPS 24-25 will facilitate the ability of the SA to continue payment of the enforceable obligations of the former Community Development Commission and is among the reasonable measures required to be taken to avoid triggering an event of default under any enforceable obligations. Certification of the ROPS allows the SA to collect property tax revenues from the Ventura County Auditor-Controller in an amount sufficient to pay the obligations listed on the ROPS 24-25 on time.
The General Fund is not responsible for these enforceable obligations.
The Ninth Annual ROPS 24-25 must be submitted to the DOF by February 1, 2024. If this deadline is not met, the City is subject to a civil penalty of $10,000 every day that a SA is past due on submission.
COMMITTEE OUTCOME
As this item comes before the SA on an annual basis and is routine in nature, it did not originate in committee.

AGENDA ITEM NO. K.3
DATE: January 2, 2024
TO: City Council
FROM: Javier Chagoyen-Lazaro, Chief Financial Officer, (805) 385-5400, [email protected]
SUBJECT: First Amendment to External Auditor Agreement A-8223
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council approve and authorize the Mayor to execute the First Amendment to Agreement A-8223 with Eadie + Payne, LLP, to increase the amount by $20,000, for a total amended not-to-exceed amount over 5 years of $1,095,100 for FY 2022-23 Annual Comprehensive Financial Reporting (ACFR)/Single-Audit/Ancillary Assistance.
(The Finance and Governance Committee approved 3-0 on December 12, 2023)
BACKGROUND
Following a request for proposals process, in May 2020, the City executed contract A-8223 with the external audit firm Eadie + Payne, LLP (E+P) to conduct the City of Oxnard’s annual and single audits for five fiscal years from FY 2019- 2020 through FY 2023-2024. The contract agreement amount is $1,075,100, with a fiscal year not to exceed amount of $210,600 for FY2019/20 to FY2020/21, $216,100 for FY2021/22 to FY2022/23 and $221,700 for FY2023/24.
DISCUSSION
The City went live in October 2022 with the financial module of the Tyler Munis Enterprise Resources Program (ERP), to track all City financial transactions, making FY 2022/23 the first year in which the City is producing financials with the information recorded in the new ERP. During the field work in October 2023, E+P identified additional work needed to gain reasonable assurance on the City’s financial statements. Specifically, this additional work included validating the conversion of data from the previous accounting system (HTE), implementing internal and information technology controls, as well as proper mapping of beginning balances from HTE to the new financial ERP.
This first amendment is requesting an additional $20,000 for audit services for the fiscal year audit ending June 30, 2023, and it is detailed in the table below.

FY 2022/23 is the fourth year of the City's auditing contract with E+P, of a five year agreement to provide audit services to the City. With the proposed increase of $20,000 for FY2022/23, the fiscal year not to exceed amount will be changed from $216,100 to $236,100 and revising the total of the five-year contract from $1,075,100 to $1,095,100.
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.

INFORMATION/CONSENT AGENDA
AGENDA ITEM NO. K.4
DATE: January 2, 2024
TO: City Council
FROM: Michael Wolfe, Public Works Director, (805) 385-8055, [email protected]
SUBJECT: Agreement 32400249 with Amrep Manufacturing Company, LLC for Maintenance, Inspection and Repair of Amrep Refuse Collection Vehicles.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council approve and authorize the Mayor to execute an Agreement with Amrep Manufacturing Company, LLC for a one-year term with the option to extend for four consecutive one-year periods for a maximum contract term of five years, and a total contract not-to-exceed amount over the entire possible contract term of $750,000 for the maintenance, inspection and repair of the City’s Amrep waste collection fleet on an on-call/as-needed basis.
(Public Works and Transportation Committee approved 3-0 on December 12, 2023)
BACKGROUND
The Fleet Services Division (Division) of the Public Works Department performs maintenance and repairs on the City’s 55 Amrep waste collection fleet. Although the Division performs the majority of the maintenance on these vehicles, it requires a vendor to provide as-needed repairs and overflow maintenance to minimize downtime and keep the collection operations functioning at capacity.
The City’s waste collection fleet is composed of approximately 85% Amrep refuse trucks. Amrep is the OEM manufacturer of various types of refuse bodies. They design and manufacture the majority of the component parts that are used throughout the manufacturing and assembly of the body. As the manufacturer, they are the sole source provider of OEM parts, service and support. They do not offer OEM parts for sale through any dealers in California; therefore, any major rebuilds or warranties must be performed by Amrep.
DISCUSSION
Amrep Manufacturing Company, LLC is the sole provider of maintenance and repairs of Amrep refuse trucks. City Purchasing Policy allows for the City to enter into agreements with vendors without competitive bidding when there is only a sole source available to provide the required products and/or services. Having access to the manufacturer’s repair shop and OEM parts ensures maintenance can be performed in an efficient manner and warranty services can be obtained.
The Environmental Resources refuse collection operations are six days a week. These vehicles are extremely complex with several mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic systems. They are in use the entirety of the day sustaining constant repetitive use of the collection mechanisms. In order to keep them in reliable condition, maintenance service must be completed as scheduled with minimal downtime. At times, Amrep will perform maintenance and repairs under the direction of the Division to keep these vehicles in service and operating efficiently. The Division has been using Amrep for over 20 years.
Amrep Manufacturing Company, LLC is located in Ontario, CA and meets all required City contractual provisions including possession of a City business tax certificate, insurance certificates and corporate filing with the California 61 Secretary of State. Based upon the available information and research performed to date, staff believes the vendor is capable of satisfactorily completing the services in this Agreement. Thus, staff recommends that the City Council award this Agreement to Amrep Manufacturing Company, LLC.
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 total cost for this agreement with Amrep Manufacturing Company, LLC shall not exceed $750,000 through December 31, 2028, if extended. Funding will begin in Fiscal Year 2023-24 and there are sufficient funds in the Fleet Services Fund (741) in the City Council approved FY 2023-24 Operating Budget. Subsequent fiscal year funding will be requested in the annual budget process. The estimated spending plan per year is as follows:

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 general liability and 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.
