AGENDA REPORT
REPORTS
AGENDA ITEM NO. D.1
DATE: May 13, 2025
TO: Finance & Governance Committee
FROM: Javier Chagoyen-Lazaro, Chief Financial Officer, (805) 200-5400, [email protected]
SUBJECT: Accounting and Financial Risk Assessment Update. (15 minutes)
RECOMMENDATION
That the Finance and Governance Committee receive the Risk Assessment Update regarding accounting and financial reporting as part of the Internal Control Integrated Framework pursuant to City of Oxnard Finance Policy (FPOL) 1.05, and recommend staff forward the presentation to City Council.
Please click the following link to view the required Measure M pre-recorded presentation video: https://youtu.be/yChZ-rGINIg
BACKGROUND
The City’s annual audit for Fiscal Year (FY) 2014-15 produced 111 single-audit findings. One finding identified that risk assessments need to be performed. The finding specified two types: (i) risk assessment related to accounting and financial reporting, and (ii) fraud management risk assessment.
In response to the finding, on June 27, 2017, the City engaged Price Paige as Internal Auditors to complete a fraud risk assessment and to monitor operation of controls in high priority areas. These detailed reviews by external consultants were supplemented by the work of new and better trained staff across the City who identified and remediated additional issues that affected operating, reporting, and compliance objectives. In December 2021, the City completed the adoption of eight Internal Control Integrated Framework (ICIF) policies (see links attached) that are aimed at strengthening and improving the organization’s overall control and operating environment. Financial Policy (FPOL) 1.05 City Council’s Risk Assessment Responsibilities established that the City Council ensures that risk assessments are performed. In September and November 2021, the Finance and Governance Committee received training from the City’s Independent Auditor, Eadie + Payne, in internal controls, compliance, and risk management.
During the past year, the Senior Manager Internal Controls performed a targeted risk assessment for FY 23-
24. The targeted risk assessment is designed to focus on maintaining existing internal controls, including those controls that were put into place as a result of previous audit findings. The FY 23-24 targeted risk assessment focused on the following areas: Grants (funded by the American Rescue Plan Act Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund), Vendor Master Maintenance, and Purchasing Cards. The Capital Assets process, which was originally planned for completion as part of the FY 23-24 Targeted Risk Assessment, was postponed due to staffing availability and prioritization of other internal control priorities, and will instead be included as part of the FY 25-26 Targeted Risk Assessment.
9 We propose continuing with a targeted risk assessment for FYs 24-25 and 25-26 to ensure limited internal control resources are focused on higher risk areas. The plan to expand to a Full Risk Assessment will be considered for FY 26-27.
FY 23-24 preliminary targeted risk assessment results
The implementation of the new ERP system, Tyler Munis, has enhanced the City’s internal controls over financial reporting. The automatic routing of Purchasing, Accounts Payable, and General Ledger transactions for the appropriate level of authorization, review, approval, and verification replacing processes that were reliant on people to manually route paper-based or electronic transaction documents for approval, is one of the internal control enhancements. Automatic routing of these processes directly impact transactions tied to Grants Management and Purchasing Cards.
Establishing effective internal controls is a continuous process, which should follow the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) framework for designing and managing internal controls. In 2014, the federal government updated the Uniform Guidance to require non-federal entities to establish and maintain effective internal control over federal awards, which should be in compliance with COSO and in 2015, the California State Controller developed internal control guidelines applicable to local governments which recommends using COSO’s Internal Control Framework.
The system of internal controls has been evaluated using the COSO framework. The five components of COSO internal control are: control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communication, and monitoring activities. The preliminary results of the targeted risk assessment are communicated according to their respective COSO component. Below are both the internal control enhancements and improvement opportunities that have been addressed or will be addressed in the future. Noted improvement opportunities did not constitute control failures due to either: the exposures found are minor in extent and nature or other compensating controls exist. These preliminary results are pending discussion with City Management.
Control Environment
The control environment is the set of standards, processes and structures that provide the basis for carrying out internal control and sets the tone across the organization. City processes are in a stabilization period post ERP implementation and policies and procedures continue to be updated to reflect process changes.
Risk Assessment
The risk assessment allows management to identify the need for control and monitoring activities, improvements to the flow of information and communication or the need for changes to the control environment. Risk assessments were prepared for each of the targeted risk assessment areas: Vendor Master Maintenance, Grants Management, and Purchasing Cards to ensure that risks are managed and mitigated.
Control Activities
Control activities are actions established through policies and procedures (or through embedded controls) that help ensure that management’s directives to mitigate risk (as documented in the Risk Assessment) are carried out.
The ERP system has the following internal controls embedded into the system. ● Segregation of duties – system workflow separates the responsibilities for authorizing transactions and processing transactions, replacing the manual control of individuals and ensuring that they aren’t the only authorizer and approver or that the transaction is processed by people without conflicting responsibilities. ● Reviews and approvals – system workflow automation ensures secondary reviews and supervisory approvals that transactions have been properly authorized, accurately recorded, and correctly reflect the events that have occurred replacing the manual control of people routing reviews and approvals appropriately via a 10 paper-based process and approvals being captured on paper ● Adequate, accurate and readily available documents and records – electronic management of transaction documents ensures that documents are centrally stored (single source of truth), accessible to City staff throughout the workflow, and retained for the appropriate timeframe
Below are the internal controls embedded into the system for the specific processes.
Vendor Master Maintenance -
● ERP restricts changes to vendor master to users with specific roles Grants Management -
● ERP workflow routes approvals for expense transactions coded to general ledger Fund 204 (ARPA fund) to employees with knowledge of approved ARPA projects
● ERP checks budget when entering a purchase requisition or contract ● ERP limits purchasing transactions to pre-approved vendors Purchasing Cards -
● ERP increases awareness of purchasing card statement reconciliation status ● ERP workflow captures approvals of purchasing card transactions
Information and Communication
Information and communication is the continual iterative process of providing, sharing and obtaining necessary information to meet accounting and disclosure requirements under governmental accounting standards. ● ERP user quick guides that also incorporate relevant control activities are readily available to all ERP users ● ERP users completed ERP training prior to go-live and new users are expected to complete “On Demand” trainings post go-live
● Results of Targeted Risk Assessment or Monitoring Activities will be communicated to improve process efficiency and effectiveness
Monitoring Activities
Monitoring activities are the continuous evaluation of each of the COSO components to ensure they are functioning effectively, including the COSO monitoring activities component, to assess the execution and quality of established control activities. Below are highlights of the monitoring activities that were performed as part of this review.
Vendor Master Maintenance –
● Evaluated the timeliness of Vendor Master File review - o Staff assigned to Vendor Master Maintenance review Vendor Master Files annually and deactivate vendors without activity in the last 2 years
● Evaluated that changes to the Vendor Master File are supported with appropriate documentation -
o ERP document management is used to retain Vendor Create/Change Request Form which is accompanied by:
1. Completed IRS Form W-9 Request for Taxpayer Identification Number and Certification and
2. Purchasing verifies that the vendor is active and valid by performing a search on the California Secretary of State website prior to adding or revising vendor information. o Instances of Change Request Form not in ERP or vendor information/support insufficient ● Evaluated that information in the Vendor Master File is complete and accurate – o Instances of no Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) in ERP or FEIN inaccurate
Grants Management –
● Evaluated that purchases of goods or services are authorized as evidenced by proper review and approval – o ERP workflow captures approvals
● Evaluated that Grant Administering Departments maintain financial and other records in accordance with grant requirements –
11 o Instances of documentation required by grant contract not maintained ● Evaluated that when using Federal grant funds to purchase goods or services, vendor name or principal individual(s) are searched in the Excluded Parties List System (now the System for Award Management (SAM) database) to verify that the vendor or principal individuals are not suspended, debarred or otherwise excluded from participation in Federal spending
o Grant Administering Departments are not reviewing the SAM database to check for suspension or debarment or if Grant Administering Departments are reviewing for suspension or debarment, evidence of the review is not maintained
Purchasing Cards –
● Evaluated purchasing card transactions are authorized as evidenced by proper review and approval – o ERP workflow captures approvals of purchasing card transactions ● Evaluated timeliness of purchasing card reconciliation – o Instances of statements not reconciled timely when purchasing card holders terminate employment from the City of Oxnard
Ongoing monitoring activities need to be formalized and documented, separate from this evaluation of the system of internal controls. Monitoring activities should be designed to provide a sense of whether the internal controls are functioning effectively.
The results of monitoring activities above will be communicated to the appropriate parties after these preliminary results are discussed with City Management.
FY 24-25 targeted risk assessment
Staff anticipates reporting on the status of the FY 24-25 targeted risk assessment in the fall.
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.

Activities
FY 23-24 Targeted Risk Assessment preliminary results as they align to the COSO internal control framework (continued)
8 Monitoring Activities – Preliminary Results:
Areas of Strength –
• Vendor Master Files are reviewed annually and vendors without activity in the last 2 years are deactivated • ERP captures approvals of purchases of goods or services and ERP workflow routes approvals for expense transactions coded to general ledger Fund 204 (ARPA fund) to employees with knowledge of approved ARPA projects • ERP increases transparency of purchasing card statement reconciliation status and captures approvals of purchasing card activities
Opportunities for Improvement / Mitigation Measures in Progress – • Monitoring activities need to be formalized and documented • Vendor Master File change management process is reliant on staff to make changes (no vendor self service) and a review for complete and accurate information in vendor files (Form W-9 and Federal Employer Identification Number) should be performed for all vendors post ERP implementation
• Process for suspension and debarment review of federal grant funding recipients should be centrally established • Management should ensure that purchasing card statements are reconciled prior to an employee’s last day of work (when possible)
Information and Communication – Preliminary Results:
Areas of Strength -
• ERP user quick guides readily available, training includes “On Demand” training for new users Opportunities for Improvement / Mitigation Measures in Progress - • Targeted Risk Assessment or Monitoring Activities will be communicated to Council 20 • The implementation of the new ERP system, Tyler Munis, has enhanced the City’s internal controls over financial reporting.
• The automatic routing of transactions for the appropriate level of authorization, review, approval, and verification replacing processes that were reliant on people to manually route paper-based or electronic transaction documents for approval, is one of the internal control enhancements. • Additionally, internal controls that were initially put into place as a result of a previous audit finding were embedded into the system, where appropriate. • For example, prior audit finding 2019-007 required the Accounts Payable team to manually gather and track support for purchasing card transactions. With the ERP , monthly statement reviews and approvals are submitted through the ERP system workflow to Accounts Payable. • Finally, noted improvement opportunities did not constitute control failures due to either: the exposures found are minor in extent and nature or other compensating controls exist.

BACKGROUND
Special Districts is a Division of the Public Works Department and manages a total of 50 special financing districts, which includes 36 Landscape Maintenance Districts (“LMDs”). Through the process of developing property, special financing districts (e.g. LMDs) were authorized to be used by property owners (i.e. developers) to fund the annual cost of maintaining certain public improvements that have a special benefit to the properties within the district. Typically, the developer installed the public improvements at the time of development and the benefiting property owners pay for the cost of maintaining the improvements (i.e., special benefit) through a special assessment included on the property’s annual property tax bill. Revenue received from the assessment funds the cost to provide the Special Benefit, as outlined in the Consolidated Engineer’s Report attached hereto as a link in Attachment 1 (“Report”).
51 Assessments are levied annually and collected on the property tax roll. Each year, the City Council conducts proceedings before making a decision to levy the assessments. Revenue received from the assessments partially funds the ongoing maintenance of the public improvements that are provided by each district and, in some cases, is collected for future work that is conducted on a less-than-annual basis.
If adopted by City Council, the Resolutions will: 1) initiate proceedings to levy the annual assessments; 2) approve the Consolidated Engineer’s Report for the districts; and 3) declare the intent to levy assessments on the FY 2025-26 property tax roll. As a part of the resolution declaring the intent to levy, a public hearing date is set (June 17, 2025) where a resolution confirming diagrams and assessments will be considered. This is a process that is required each year.
DISCUSSION
The Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972 (Streets & Highways Code Section 22500 et seq.) (“Act”) outlines the procedures for the City Council to annually Initiate Proceedings by Resolution (Attachment 2), approve the Consolidated Engineers Report through a Resolution (Attachment 3), and state the City Council’s Intent to Levy the annual assessment through a Resolution (Attachment 4) by holding a public hearing.
In compliance with the Act, an annual review and evaluation of each district’s revenues and expenditures, contained in the Report, is conducted. This Report consolidates the City’s 36 LMDs into a single report, but evaluates each district individually. For each district, the Report includes a description of the improvements, the projected estimated annual maintenance costs, and funding to be collected for projects done on a less than annual basis, if any, the method of assessment apportionment for each lot or parcel within each district’s boundaries, and a diagram showing the parcels within that district. The Report also provides an analysis of each district’s annual financial status. It separates and apportions the cost of General Benefit, as defined in the Report, other costs funded by a non-assessment fund (e.g., the General Fund), and the cost of Special Benefit to the benefiting properties, which is funded by the applied assessment rate. The actual services provided to each district vary from district to district and are based on the property owner-approved services and funding.
The applied assessment rate is the amount needed to fund the services of each district and is the amount actually levied on the property tax roll. It cannot exceed the maximum assessment rate that was approved by property owners, through prior proceedings, for each district. After completing an individual analysis of each district’s current level of service, anticipated estimated expenditures, fund balance, assigned reserve levels, and future work that is conducted on a less-than-annual basis, it is recommended to set the applied rates as set forth in the Report. Parcel-specific details of the proposed maximum and applied assessment is included in the Report as linked, is available from the City Clerk’s office, and is accessible from the City’s website (www.oxnard.gov).
Additionally, the following table provides a summary of each LMD’s highest annual assessment over the past five years broken into a monthly payment to show what an equivalent to a Homeowners Association payment would be with similar improvements. Please note that these rates are the highest for each district within the past five fiscal years and not the proposed levy amounts for FY 2025-26.

1 LMD 43 contains 4 zones, two of which pay rates calculated per acre with the other two paying per unit. This amount is the highest assessed per unit rate within the past five fiscal years within each per unit zone (2 and 4) and the per acre rate zones (1 and 3) calculated out across all acreage, divided by apartment unit, and then divided by 12.
2 LMD 46 contains 3 rate-paying zones.
3 LMD 60 consists of one parcel, within which there are 272 apartments. While only one parcel is assessed, to calculate an equivalent per unit HOA rate, the monthly amount has been divided again by 272.
Costs considered to be of General Benefit are not allowed to be assessed to the properties and therefore are 53 apportioned as a non-assessment fund (e.g. General Fund) expense. In addition to the required General Benefit contribution, the General Fund is proposed to cover additional costs, which are outlined in the Fiscal Impact section of this Report. The FY 2025-26 Proposed Operating Budget includes funds necessary to cover these costs.
Funds received for the benefit of each district are restricted and can only be used within the district and for the purposes for which they were collected. Some of the district’s applied assessment rates are proposed to increase from last year, while others are proposed to decrease. This is to account for changes in the expected amounts of services, such as, but not limited to landscape maintenance, sidewalk maintenance, removal and replacement of displaced sidewalks, irrigation repair, electrical systems repair, and lighting repair and replacement. Both increases and decreases can be attributed to changes in annual service costs to maintain fund balances after their use in prior fiscal years, consistent with the Act, or to meet a district’s obligation for staff and overhead expenses. The assessment is levied at a rate that is no higher than the maximum assessment rate approved by property owners. All of the previous items are normal operating considerations of LMDs and are evaluated as a part of this process. However, there are two districts, LMDs 49 and 54, that are receiving further attention in FY 2025-26 due to their projected fund balances.
LMD 49
LMD 49 (Cameron Ranch) is located within the East Village neighborhood and is inclusive of the parcels on Gibralter St., Milagro Pl., Ocaso Pl., and Kohala St. It comprises 35 benefit units and is projected to have an estimated negative fund balance of $55,401.45 at the end of FY 2025-26. With a maximum total levy amount of $23,385, the district is able to entirely fund its total annual expenses of $18,766 for FY 2025-26. However, due to its current maximum assessment rate, this LMD is unable to address the previous years’ build-up of negative fund balance and is not projected to be able to do so on its own into the future without severely reducing maintenance activities. In response to the current situation of the district and the fact that it can currently fund its maintenance activities, staff is recommending that a one-time contribution be made to the LMD 49 fund in order to balance the fund. This recommendation to cover a LMD’s past negative fund balance would not set precedent, since it is consistent with prior action taken by the City Council for various LMDs in FY 2015-16 when approximately $2.9 million was transferred to certain LMDs to balance their funds as noted in the June 20, 2017 staff report (attached for reference). It is understood that LMDs are structured to be self- sustaining. Barring unforeseen circumstances, such as emergencies or damage due to acts of nature or other accidents which damage or destroy the district’s improvements, staff does not anticipate needing to request additional funds in the near future for this District. Please note that a draft LMD Policy, that has been reviewed and recommended to be forwarded to the City Council by the Public Works and Transportation Committee, will be presented to the City Council in the near future that outlines procedures to mitigate this scenario from reoccurring in the future.
LMD 54
LMD 54 (Meadowcrest Villas) is located within the Carriage Square neighborhood and is inclusive of the parcels within North A St., Robert Ave., and Oxnard Blvd. It comprises 50 benefit units and is projected to have a FY 2025-26 fund balance in excess of its calculated maximum by $30,927.20. This was primarily caused by the collection of assessments for proposed tree work in FY 2024-25 that was not executed, lower- than-anticipated staff and overhead expenses due to vacant positions within the Special Districts Division, and lower than budgeted maintenance expenses due to a change in the management of the District’s landscape maintenance contract. The amount in reserves is in excess of what is projected to be required to fund future project expenses and the reserve amount per the Streets and Highway Code. As a result, staff is recommending that the property owners receive a one-time refund of approximately $618.27 per benefit unit. This reimbursement process would be consistent with prior action taken by the City for 18 LMDs in FY 2017-18 when excess balances were refunded to property owners.
54 In order to ensure that LMD-54’s assessment does not “fall off” the tax roll for FY 2025-26, a $0.50 per unit assessment is recommended to be levied. Maintaining a minimum assessment on the tax roll ensures any property transactions that occur in the current or following fiscal year will include the District’s assessment for Title and other property-related or tax purposes. This assessment is included in the net calculation of the assessment refund that is recommended to be returned to the property owners.
The deadline for delivering the assessment information to Ventura County for inclusion on the FY 2025-26 property tax roll is July 7, 2025.
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
For FY 2025-26, the proposed assessment calculations are as follows: real property assessments $1,579,318 (rounded, see Engineer’s Report Table 6.7), interest income $116,451 (rounded, Table 6.5), a general benefit contribution from the General Fund $220,437 (rounded, Table 6.5), and a subsidy from the General Fund for utilities of $101,418 (rounded, Table 6.5), a one-time fund balance contribution to LMD-49 in the amount of $55,401 from the General Fund (rounded, footnote Table 6.7), and an expense of $30,927 (rounded, noted on Table 6.7) from LMD-54 for a one-time refund to LMD-54 property owners.

More information can be
found at:
www.oxnard.gov/public-
works/special-districts
85 • The Special Districts Division of the Public Works Department manages 50 Special Financing Districts which includes 36 LMDs.
• The City has allowed property owners (i.e. developers) to use special financing districts (e.g. LMDs) to fund the annual cost of maintaining certain public improvements that benefit the properties within the district.
• Typically, the developer installed the public improvements at the time of development and benefiting property owners pay for the cost of maintaining the improvements (i.e., special benefit) through a special assessment included on the property’s annual property tax bill.
BACKGROUND 5
86 • Revenue received from the assessment funds the cost to provide the Special Benefit, as outlined in the Consolidated Engineer’s Report
• Assessments are levied annually and collected on the property tax roll. Each year, the City Council must conduct proceedings to levy the assessments.
• Revenue received from the assessments partially funds the ongoing maintenance of public improvements provided by each district and, in some cases, is collected for future work that is conducted on a less than annual basis.
BACKGROUND 6
87 • If the Committee approves the recommendation in this report a Public Hearing will be set for June 17, 2025, during which the City Council will consider three resolutions.
• If adopted by City Council, the Resolutions will:
1) initiate proceedings to levy the annual assessments; 2) approve the Consolidated Engineer’s Report for the
districts; and
3) declare the intent to levy assessments on the FY 2025-26 property tax roll. As a part of the resolution declaring the intent to levy, a public hearing date is set (June 17, 2025) where a resolution confirming diagrams and assessments will be
considered.
• This is a process that is required each year.
BACKGROUND 7
88 • The Landscaping and Lighting Assessment Act of 1972 requires the City Council to annually Initiate Proceedings by Resolution, approve the Consolidated Engineers Report
through a Resolution, and state the Council’s Intent to Levy the annual assessment through a Resolution
• In compliance with the Act, an annual review and evaluation of each district’s revenues and expenditures, contained in the Consolidated Engineer’s Report, is conducted.
• This Report consolidates the City’s 36 LMDs into a single report, but evaluates each district individually.
DISCUSSION 8
89 • The Report includes a description of the improvements, the projected annual maintenance costs, and funding to be
collected for projects done on a less than annual basis, if any, the method of assessment apportionment for each lot or
parcel within each district’s boundaries, and a diagram showing the parcels within that district.
• The Report also provides an analysis of each district’s annual financial status.
• It separates and apportions the cost of General Benefit, other costs funded by a non-assessment fund, and the cost of
Special Benefit to the benefiting properties is funded by the applied assessment rate.
DISCUSSION 9
90 • The actual services provided to each district varies from district to district and are based upon the property owner approved services and funding.
• The applied assessment rate is the amount needed to fund the services of each district and is the amount actually levied on the property tax roll.
• It cannot exceed the maximum assessment rate that was originally approved for each district.
• After completing an individual analysis of each district’s current level of service, anticipated expenditures, fund balance, assigned reserve levels, and future work, it is recommended to set the applied rates as set forth in the Report.
DISCUSSION 10
91 • Parcel specific detail of the proposed maximum and applied assessment is included in the Report as linked and is also available from the City Clerk’s office and accessible from the City’s website (www.oxnard.gov).
• Costs considered to be of General Benefit, as defined in the Report, are not allowed to be assessed to the properties and therefore are apportioned as a non-assessment fund expense. • The General Fund is proposed to cover additional costs, including a one-time contribution to LMD 49, which are outlined in the Fiscal Impact section of this Report.
• The FY 2025-26 Proposed Operating Budget includes funds necessary to cover these costs.
DISCUSSION 11
92 • Additionally, LMD 54 is projected to have too high of a fund balance than allowed and subsequently, will be providing refunds to property owners within the district. The specific amount is outlined in the Fiscal Impact section of this Report. • Funds received for the benefit of each district are restricted and can only be used within the district and for the purposes for which they were collected.
DISCUSSION 12

BACKGROUND
Special Districts is a Division of the Public Works Department and manages a total of 50 special financing districts, which includes one Maintenance Assessment District (the “District” or "MAD 4"). On November 22, 1983, the Mandalay Beach Maintenance District (MAD 4) was formed, pursuant to the Improvement Act of 1911, to recover the cost of the City’s maintenance of the 36-acre beach area, plus landscaping the public rights-of-way within Tract No. 2923. The formation of the District was required as a condition of development imposed by the California Coastal Commission and as a provision of a development agreement with the City.
The assessments are exempt from Article XIII D of the California Constitution by reason of Section 5 thereof.
The management of MAD 4 by the City became effective on July 1, 1986. On July 5, 1988, City Council adopted Resolution No. 9500, which shifted the bulk of the District’s beach maintenance costs from the residents of The Colony to The Mandalay Beach Resort Hotel (Zachari Dunes, “The Hotel”). City Council adopted the current assessment amounts on April 6, 1999, via Resolution No. 11566. Due to the passage of Proposition 218, this assessment is capped at these rates, unless a Proposition 218 action is taken by the voters/property owners as required.
DISCUSSION
The total cost for maintenance operations within MAD 4 for both beach and landscape maintenance in Fiscal 97 Year 2025-26 (FY 2025-26) is anticipated to be $53,921. The total assessment levy for FY 2025-26 is unchanged from FY 2024-25 at $39,446, and is computed as follows:
1. LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE - $21,346
The City’s Special Districts Division manages the landscape areas along Falkirk Avenue, Harbor Boulevard, Mandalay Beach Road, and Costa del Oro. The District’s combined budget for landscaping and beach maintenance costs for FY 2025-26 is $53,921, of which the City’s maximum allowable assessment in accordance with Resolution No. 11566 is $21,346 for the purpose of landscape maintenance. In accordance with Resolution No. 9500, $16,095 is paid by The Colony residential development, and $5,251 is paid by The Hotel (75% to The Colony; 25% to The Hotel).
2. BEACH MAINTENANCE - $18,100 (MAD 4 share split between The Colony and The Hotel)
The agreements between the City and the developers of MAD 4 assign the responsibility for beach maintenance costs based on the relative length of beach area that fronts both the Hotel and the public beach property (park). The total maximum assessment for beach maintenance is $30,092 per Resolution 11,556 with $45 for County assessment costs borne by the District. Per Resolution 9500, District responsibility for this assessment is $18,055 (60%) and City responsibility as part of the total operating cost of Ololkoy Beach Park is $12,037 (40%). The District’s 60 percent and $45 County Collection Fee obligation ($18,100) is further apportioned into two parts. 75.4 percent ($13,647) is paid by The Hotel and 24.6 percent ($4,453) is paid by The Colony residents. The annual assessment for beach maintenance is as follows:
Annual Costs = $30,137 (Incl.
County Collection Fee)
District City
Percent Share of $30,092 x 60% x 40%
FY 2025-26 Shared Costs $18,055 $12,037
County Collection Fee $45 $0
Total Beach Maintenance Cost $18,100 $12,037
Hotel Share (75.4% of $18,100) $13,647
Colony's Share (24.6% of $18,100) $4,453
The maximum FY 2025-26 assessment for both landscaping ($21,346) and beach maintenance ($18,100) is $39,446. The Hotel pays $18,898 ($5,251 for landscaping + $13,647 for beach maintenance) and The Colony residents pay $20,548 ($16,095 + $4,453). The County assessment fee is estimated to be $45. The City’s contribution for beach maintenance is set at $12,037. The total FY 2025-26 budget for MAD 4 is proposed to be $53,921. Any expenses beyond that which can be funded via the district’s assessments and defined City contributions will be funded via district fund balance.
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
Property owners pay the assessments as part of their annual property tax bill. The assessments are a continuation of previously approved assessments. Funds received for the benefit of the District are restricted and can only be used to fund the services of the District.
98 For FY 2025-26, the proposed budget for MAD 4 is $53,921. The City will assess the property owners within the District $39,446 in FY 2025-26 to pay landscape maintenance costs and 60% of beach maintenance costs.
The City’s portion of the beach maintenance is 40% ($12,037) and will be included in the Proposed Budget for FY 2025-26 as a transfer in contribution to MAD 4 from the General Fund for a combined total expected revenue of $51,483.

WHEREAS, the City Council wishes to levy such assessments for FY 2025-26 in an amount sufficient to cover all of the expense of maintaining the landscaping and to cover 60% of the expense of maintaining the beach area, with the City paying the remaining 40% of the latter expense; and
WHEREAS, assessments were levied in the District in Fiscal Year 2024-25, and such assessments are not proposed to increase in Fiscal Year 2025-26; and WHEREAS, the assessments are imposed exclusively to finance the capital costs and maintenance and operation expenses for sidewalks, streets, water, flood control, drainage systems and vector control, inasmuch as the beach is public right of way that serves much as a street, manages water and is part of the flood control and drainage systems in the District, and the landscaping is located in or adjacent to sidewalks, streets and other public rights of way and maintenance of the landscaping involves irrigation and vector control; and WHEREAS, for the foregoing reasons, the assessments are exempt from Article XIII D of the California Constitution, by reason of section 5 thereof; and 100

BACKGROUND
Community Facilities Districts (“CFDs”) are established pursuant to the provisions of California Government Code Section 53311 et seq. (commonly known as the “Mello-Roos Community Facilities Act of 1982”) (the “Act”), and are a form of financing district that can be used by developers as approved by cities, counties, school districts, and special districts. CFDs raise money through special taxes that must be approved by 2/3 of the qualified voters within a CFD. The City Council is the legislative body of any CFD that is formed by the City. Most often, CFDs are formed by the landowner prior to subdivision development. A CFD can be formed to finance a wide list of improvements, which include roads, water facilities, sewers, and schools. They are also used to finance ongoing maintenance services of the facilities or for services such as remediation of hazardous substances, landscaping, streets, lighting, and drainage facilities. The special taxes are secured by a continuing lien and are levied against properties within the CFD on an annual basis. The revenue stream is used to pay debt service on bonds, to finance facilities on a pay-as-you-go basis, and to pay for services, or a combination thereof.
133
As part of a proposed development, the City established Community Facilities District No. 6 (Northshore at Mandalay Bay) (the “2006 CFD”) in 2006. This CFD was for the prior proposed development located in the City, at the northeastern corner of the intersection of West Fifth Street and Harbor Boulevard, and now commonly known as “Northshore at Mandalay Bay” (the “Property”). It was to finance the cost and expense of providing public improvements and services within the 2006 CFD.
In 2021, the then-owner requested a new CFD and dissolution of the 2006 CFD. Following proceedings, CFD No. 9 (Northshore at Mandalay Bay) (“CFD 9”) was formed and the 2006 CFD was dissolved. CFD 9 included (a) a facilities special tax for the life of any bond issues, (b) a services special tax in perpetuity, and (c) an environmental special tax for remediation, operation, and maintenance activities as required and approved, for the duration needed, by the Department of Toxic Substances Control (“DTSC”). CFD 9 has a not-to-exceed bond authorization of $22,500,000.
The current owner and developer, Fifth Harbor Owner, LLC (the “Landowner”), has requested certain modifications to CFD 9 to increase the facilities special tax, (no changes are recommended for the environmental special tax), add a new special tax for State Parks, and to increase the bond authorization from $22,500,000 to $40,000,000. Staff has requested the general services special tax be increased as well to better reflect the cost of services, with the concurrence of the developer. These changes still maintain the integrity of the 1.8% average effective tax rate.
The current development plan is for 292 single-family residences.
DISCUSSION
CFD 9 was formed for the purpose of funding the following:
(a) public infrastructure facilities and other governmental facilities, including fees related thereto, with an estimated useful life of five years or longer, including but not limited to all or a portion of sanitary sewer, water, street, storm drain, park facilities, public art, or other real or tangible property, and related costs including design, inspection, professional fees, and acquisition costs (the “Facilities”) through the levy of a Special Tax – Facilities to pay debt service on one or more bond issues or pay-as-you-go facilities as long as bonds are outstanding;
(b) services including, but not limited to, landscaping, streetlighting, maintenance of sewer, storm drain, irrigation systems, beaches and parks, beach patrol, and weed abatement (the “General Services”) through the levy of a Special Tax – Services on an annual basis in perpetuity; and
(c) the remediation of any hazardous substance released or threatened to be released into the environment on the Property and any associated operation, maintenance and/or monitoring activities as more particularly described in the Response Plan approved by DTSC on December 17, 2018 (the “Response Plan”), the Operation and Maintenance Plan approved by DTSC on March 7, 2019 (“O&M Plan”), and any additional remedial activities or protective measures (collectively, the “Remediation Services”) through the levy of a Special Tax - Environmental on an annual basis as long as determined by DTSC.
The Landowner requested that a new special tax, to be known as the “Special Tax – State Parks,” be added and included within CFD 9 to fund a fee for State Park services for Resource Protection Measures at Mandalay State Beach. Services funded via the Special Tax - State Parks are required under Condition No. 92 of the original conditions of development imposed upon the developer. The Landowner has also requested that the facilities special tax be increased, and staff recommends and the Landowner agrees that the general services special tax be increased. The cost estimates of facilities, services, and State Park services have been reviewed and updated. All parties have reviewed the parameters of the modified special tax formula or the Amended and Restated Rate and Method of Apportionment (the “Amended RMA”), which includes the assigned and 134
maximum amended special tax for the Facilities, the amended special tax for the General Services, a new special tax for State Parks, and the existing special tax for Remediation Services. The Special Taxes will be levied each year according to the Amended RMA and placed on the County property tax rolls.
The first Resolution approves the form of a deposit and reimbursement agreement with the Landowner. The Landowner has made a deposit of $27,000 to the City toward the costs of modifying CFD 9, including the costs of consultant time. The costs of modifying the CFD 9 are the responsibility of the Landowner. If bonds are issued, the Landowner will be reimbursed from the proceeds of the bonds.
Special Tax – Facilities. The annual Special Tax – Facilities levy is used to pay debt service on bonds or for facilities on a pay-as-you-go basis, or a combination thereof. Upon completion of the modification and election process for the CFD and once development has progressed sufficiently as determined by the City (estimated to be sometime in the next few years), the City anticipates that CFD 9 will issue one or more series of Special Tax Bonds (the “Bonds”) to acquire the Facilities built by the Landowner and to pay or reimburse the Landowner for the payment of certain impact fees related to Facilities as provided in an Amended and Restated Funding and Acquisition Agreement (to be brought before the Council at the next meeting), and to reimburse the Landowner for formation costs and modification costs of CFD 9 as provided in the Deposit and Reimbursement Agreement for modification (and the Deposit and Reimbursement Agreement relating to the formation proceedings). The bond authorization for the District is proposed to be increased from a not-to-exceed amount of $22.5 million to a not-to-exceed amount of $40 million. It is the intent of CFD 9 to issue one or more series of Bonds with a 30-year maturity with escalating debt service of 2% per year.
The Amended RMA includes an assigned tax and a back-up tax for the Special Tax – Facilities for developed property in case the number of residential units built is less than estimated. Once developed property is taxed, undeveloped and contingent property will be taxed if needed. The maximum Special Tax –Facilities escalates at an annual rate of 2%.
Attachment 1 (attached hereto) contains a description of the estimated facilities, the impact fees, and an estimated budget therefore. The budget exceeds the amount of facilities and fees, which are currently estimated to be financed by the Bonds. Facilities, including fees, not financed by the CFD are still required to be provided by the Landowner. The landowner has requested a higher bond authorization than estimated within the attachment due to anticipated increases in construction expenses between the approval of this item and actual construction. Bonds will be issued in the amount necessary to fund these expenses and are not required to be issued at the not-to-exceed maximum amount of $40 million.
Special Tax – Services. The Special Tax – Services will be levied annually in perpetuity to finance the General Services. Attachment 2 (attached hereto) contains a description and estimated budget of the general services to be provided. Once developed property is taxed at the maximum rate, undeveloped and contingent property will be taxed if needed. The maximum Special Tax – Service escalates at the greater of 2% or a CPI escalation factor, in any case not to exceed 5%.
Special Tax – Environmental. The Special Tax – Environmental will be collected by the CFD and turned over to the newly formed nonprofit, the Northshore Environmental Conservancy (“NEC”), to pay for the annual budget of Remediation Services that is approved by DTSC, all as provided in a Special Tax and Disbursement Agreement among the City (on behalf of itself and the CFD), the Landowner and NEC, with the DTSC as a beneficiary thereto. The Special Tax Disbursement Agreement will be relied on by the Landowner and DTSC as a means by which the Remediation Services will be funded and is considered a debt or obligation of CFD 9.
The Amended RMA includes an assigned tax and a backup tax for the Special Tax – Environmental for developed property, in case the number of residential units built is less than estimated. Once developed property is taxed at the maximum rate, undeveloped and contingent property will be taxed if needed. The maximum Special Tax – Environmental escalates at an annual rate of 2%. Upon the issuance of a certificate of 135
completion, or its substantial equivalent by DTSC for all of the Remediation Services, the Special Tax – Environmental will no longer be levied. Estimated costs associated with the Special Tax - Environmental are not changing and are not included as an attachment to this report.
Special Tax – State Parks. The Special Tax – State Parks will be levied annually in perpetuity to finance the State Park fee and services. Attachment 3 (attached hereto) contains a description and estimated budget of the State Park fee and services to be provided. The Special Tax – State Parks will be collected by the CFD and turned over to the State as provided in an agreement to be entered into between the CFD 9, Landowner, and the State. The Amended RMA includes an assigned tax and a back-up tax for the Special Tax – State Parks for developed property in case the number of residential units built is less than estimated. Once developed property is taxed at the maximum rate, undeveloped and contingent property will be taxed if needed. The maximum Special Tax – State Parks escalates at an annual rate of 2%.
Process. A petition to modify CFD 9 has been received from the Landowner covering the Property, consisting of approximately 90 acres. The formal City Council approval process to change CFD 9 takes approximately sixty (60) to seventy-five (75) days.
First Step (at City Council meeting on June 3, 2025): City Council, acting as the legislative body of CFD 9, (a) adopts the resolution approving the form of the Deposit and Reimbursement Agreement and (b) adopts a resolution of consideration to modify CFD 9 and sets a public hearing on the proposed changes (scheduled for June 26, 2025).
Second Step (at City Council meeting on June 26, 2025): City Council, acting as the legislative body of CFD 9, (a) holds a public hearing on the proposed modifications, (b) provided there is no majority protest, adopts a resolution calling for election, (c) conducts a special mailed ballot election, (d) adopts a resolution canvassing the election, and (e) adopts a resolution of change and approving the Amended and Restated Funding and Acquisition Agreement. The Landowners have waived election timelines, so an election may be held on June 26, 2025, to authorize the increase of the facilities and general services special taxes and increase in authorized bonded indebtedness. Should the proposition pass with a two-thirds vote from the qualified voters (the Landowners), the City may adopt the resolution of change.
At a later date, the CFD in its sole discretion, will determine the final amount of Bonds issued. The proposed maximum bond authorization is $40,000,000. The “not to exceed” bond amount for the CFD is based on Facilities costs and available Special Tax - Facilities.
If the action is approved, the modification of CFD 9, special election, and approval of other related documents will occur on June 26, 2025. Currently, it is not expected that Bonds will be authorized for issuance or sale until the development is well underway and the Facilities are at or near completion, at which time documents relating to the issuance and sale of the bonds will be brought to the City Council for its approval.

I. PREPAYMENT OF SPECIAL TAX - FACILITIES
The following definition applies to this Section I:
"Future Facilities Amount" means, $40,000,000, all Authorized Facilities financed or anticipated by the City to be financed by CFD No. 9, minus (i) the proceeds of any previously issued Bonds which were, at the time of issuance, available to the City for Authorized Facilities, (ii) the cost of Authorized Facilities or portions thereof previously paid for by Pay -As-You-Go Revenue, and (ii) cost of Authorized Facilities or portions thereof to be paid for by Pay -As-You-Go Revenue previously received and not y et spent.

193
City of Oxnard April 8, 2025
CFD No. 9 (Northshore at Mandalay Bay) Page 16
"Previously Issued Bonds" means all Bonds that have been issued by CFD No. 9 prior to the date of prepayment.
1. Prepayment in Full
The Special Tax - Facilities obligation of an Assessor's Parcel of Developed Property, Taxable Contingent Property, or Undeveloped Property may be prepaid and permanently satisfied as described herein; provided that there are no delinquent installments of the Special Tax - Facilities with respect to such Assessor's Parcel at the time of prepayment. An owner of an Assessor's Parcel intending to prepay the Special Tax - Facilities obligation shall provide the CFD Administrator with written notice of intent to prepay. Within 45 days of r eceipt of such written notice, the CFD Administrator shall notify such owner of the prepayment amount of such Assessor's Parcel.
Prepayment must be made not less than 75 days prior to the next occurring date that notice of redemption of Bonds from the proceeds of such prepayment may be given to the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. The CFD Administrator may charge a fee for providing this service.
The Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be calculated as summarized below (capitalized terms as defined below):
Bond Redemption Amount
plus Redemption Premium
plus Defeasance Amount
plus Administrative Fees and Expenses
less Reserve Fund Credit
less Capitalized Interest Credit
Total: equals Special Tax Prepayment Amount
As of the proposed date of prepayment, the Prepayment Amount (defined below) shall be calculated as follows:
Step Number:
1. Confirm that no Special Tax - Facilities delinquencies apply to such Assessor’s Parcel.
2. For Assessor’s Parcels of Developed Property and Taxable Contingent Property compute the Assigned Special Tax - Facilities and Backup Special Tax - Facilities. For Assessor’s Parcels of Undeveloped Property to be prepaid, compute the Assigned Special Tax - Facilities and Backup Special Tax – Facilities for that Assessor’s Parcel as though it was already designated as Developed Property, based upon the number of expected Units to be developed on that Assessor’s Parcel.
3. Divide the Assigned Special Tax - Facilities computed pursuant to Step 2 by the total estimated Assigned Special Tax - Facilities for CFD No. 9 based on the Developed Property Special Tax - Facilities which could be charged in the current Fiscal Year on all expected buildout of CFD No. 9, excluding any Assessor’s Parcels which have prepaid the Special Tax – Facilities obligation in full pursuant to Section I.1.
b. Divide the Backup Special Tax - Facilities computed pursuant to Step 2 by the total estimated 194
City of Oxnard April 8, 2025
CFD No. 9 (Northshore at Mandalay Bay) Page 17
Backup Special Tax – Facilities for CFD No. 9 based on the Developed Property Special Tax – Facilities which could be charged in the current Fiscal Year on all expected buildout of CFD No. 9, excluding any Assessor’s Parcels which have prepaid the Special Tax – Facilities obligation in full pursuant to Section I.1.
4. Multiply the larger quotient computed pursuant to Step 3.a or 3.b by the Outstanding Bonds to compute the amount of Outstanding Bonds to be retired and prepaid (the “Bond Redemption Amount”).
5. Compute the current Future Facilities Costs.
6. Multiply the larger quotient computed pursuant to Step 3.a or 3.b by the total Future Facilities Costs to compute the amount of the Future Facilities Amount to be prepaid (the “Future Facilities Amount”).
7. Multiply the Bond Redemption Amount computed pursuant to Step 4 by the applicable redemption premium, if any, on the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed (the “ Redemption Premium”).
8. Compute the amount needed to pay interest on the Bond Redemption Amount on the earliest redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds.
9. Compute the amount the Administrator reasonably expects to derive from the reinvestment of the Prepayment Amount less the Future Facilities Amount and the Administrative Fees and Expenses from the date of prepayment until the redemption date for the Outstanding Bonds to be redeemed with the prepayment.
10. Subtract the amount computed pursuant to Step 9 from the amount computed pursuant to Step 8 (the “Defeasance Amount”).
11. Verify the administrative fees and expenses, including the costs of computation of the prepayment, the costs to invest the prepayment proceeds, the costs of redeeming the Outstanding Bonds, and the costs of recording any notices to evidence the prepayment and the redemption (the “Administrative Fees and Expenses”).
12. A reserve fund credit (the “Reserve Fund Credit”) shall equal the lesser of: (a) the expected reduction in the reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture), if any, associated with the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment, or (b) the amount derived by subtracting the new reserve requirement (as defined in the Indenture) in effect after the redemption of Outstanding Bonds as a result of the prepayment from the balance in the reserve fund on the prepayment date, but in no event shall such amount be less than zero.
13. If any capitalized interest for the Outstanding Bonds will not have been expended at the time of the first interest and/or principal payment following the current Fiscal Year, a capitalized interest credit shall be calculated by multiplying the larger quotient computed pursuant to Steps 3.a or 3.b by the expected balance in the capitalized interest fund after such first interest and/or principal payment (the “Capitalized Interest Credit”).
14. The Special Tax - Facilities prepayment is equal to the sum of the amounts computed pursuant to 195
City of Oxnard April 8, 2025
CFD No. 9 (Northshore at Mandalay Bay) Page 18
Steps 4, 6, 7, 10 and 11, less the amount computed pursuant to Steps 12 and 13 (the “Prepayment Amount”).
15. From the Prepayment Amount, the amounts computed pursuant to Steps 4, 7, 10, 12, and 13 shall be deposited into the appropriate fund as establi shed under t he Indenture and be used to retire Outstanding Bonds and make debt service payments. The amount computed pursuant to Step 6 shall be deposited into the Construction Fund. The amount computed pursuant to Step 11 shall be retained by the City for the payment of Administrative Fees and Expenses.
The Prepayment Amount may be sufficient to redeem other than a $5,000 increment of Bonds. In such cases, the increment amount that is not $5,000 or integral multiple thereof will be retained in the appropriate fund established under the Indenture to be used with the next prepayment of bonds or to make debt service payments.
Any current-year Special Tax – Facilities that has been placed on the County tax roll will remain on the tax roll.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Special Tax - Facilities prepayment shall be allowed unless the amount of the Maximum Special Tax - Facilities that may be levied on Taxable Property both prior to and after the proposed prepayment is at least 1.1 times the maximum annual debt service on all Outstanding Bonds.
2. Prepayment in Part
The Special Tax – Facilities may be partially prepaid, provided that a partial prepayment may be made after all authorized CFD No. 9 Bonds have been issued and only for Assessor’s Parcels of Developed Property, or Taxable Contingent Property, and only if there are no delinquent Annual Special Taxes with respect to such Assessor's Parcel at the time of partial prepayment. The amount of the prepayment shall be calculated as in Section I.1; except that a partial prepayment shall be calculated by the CFD Administrator according to the following formula:
PP = PE x F.
These terms have the following meaning:
PP = the partial prepayment
PE = the Special Tax - Facilities Prepayment Amount calculated according to Section I.1 F = the percentage by which the owner of the Assessor’s Parcel(s) is partially prepaying the Special Tax - Facilities.
The Special Tax - Facilities partial prepayment amount must be sufficient to redeem at least a $5,000 increment of Bonds.
The owner of any Assessor’s Parcel who desires such partial prepayment shall notify the CFD Administrator of such owner’s intent to partially prepay the Special Tax - Facilities and the percentage by which the Special Tax - Facilities shall be prepaid . The CFD Administrator shall provide the owner with a statement of the amount required for the partial prepayment of the Special Tax - Facilities for an Assessor’s Parcel within thirty (30) days of the request and may charge a fee for providing this service. With respect to any Assessor’s Parcel that is partially prepaid, the CFD Administrator shall (i) distribute the prepayment funds remitted according to 196
City of Oxnard April 8, 2025
CFD No. 9 (Northshore at Mandalay Bay) Page 19
Section I.1, and (ii) indicate in the records of CFD No. 9 that there has been a partial prepayment of the Special Tax - Facilities and that a portion of the Special Tax - Facilities with respect to such Assessor’s Parcel, equal to the outstanding percentage (1.00 - F) of the remaining Maximum Special Tax - Facilities, shall continue to be levied on such Assessor’s Parcel pursuant to Section D.

• Community Facilities Districts (“CFDs”) are established pursuant to the provisions of the California Government Code Section 53311 et seq.
• CFDs raise money through special taxes that must be
approved by 2/3 of the voters within a CFD. The City Council is the legislative body of any CFD that is formed by the City. • Most often, CFDs are formed by the landowner prior to subdivision development.
• A CFD can be formed to finance and maintain a wide list of improvements, which may include roads, water facilities, sewers, environmental remediation and schools.
BACKGROUND 5
204
• The taxes are secured by a continuing lien and are levied against properties within the CFD on an annual basis.
• Revenue is used to pay debt service on bonds, to finance facilities on a pay-as-you-go basis, to pay for services, or a combination thereof.
• The City established Community Facilities District No. 6 (Northshore at Mandalay Bay) (“CFD 6”) in 2006 for the prior proposed development located in the City, at the northeastern corner of the intersection of West Fifth Street and Harbor Boulevard.
BACKGROUND 6
205
• In 2021, the then owner requested a new CFD and dissolution of CFD 6. Following proceedings, CFD No. 9 (Northshore at Mandalay Bay) (“CFD 9”) was formed and CFD 6 was
dissolved.
• CFD 9 included (a) a facilities special tax for the life of any bond issues, (b) a services special tax in perpetuity and (c) an environmental special tax for remediation, operation, and maintenance activities as required and approved, for the duration needed, by the Department of Toxic Substances
Control (“DTSC”). CFD 9 has a not to exceed bond
authorization of $22,500,000.
BACKGROUND 7
206
• The current owner and developer, Fifth Harbor Owner, LLC (the “Landowner”), has requested modifications to CFD 9 to increase the facilities special tax, (no changes are
recommended for the environmental special tax), add a new special Tax for State Parks, and to increase the bond
authorization from $22,500,000 to $40,000,000. Staff has requested the general services special tax be increased as well to better reflect the cost of services, which the developer has agreed to.
• These changes still maintain the integrity of the 1.8% average effective tax rate.
• The current development plan is for 292 single family residences.
BACKGROUND 8
207
• CFD 9 was formed for the purpose of funding the following:
a) public infrastructure facilities and other governmental facilities, including fees related thereto, with an estimated useful life of five years or longer, including but not limited to all or a portion of sanitary sewer, water, street, storm drain, park facilities, public art, or other real or tangible property, and related costs including design, inspection, professional fees, and acquisition costs;
b) services including, but not limited to, landscaping, street lighting, maintenance of sewer, storm drain, irrigation systems, beaches and parks, beach patrol, and weed
abatement; and
DISCUSSION 9
208
c) the remediation of any hazardous substance released or threatened to be released into the environment on the
Property and any associated operation, maintenance
and/or monitoring activities as more particularly described in the Response Plan approved by DTSC on December
17, 2018 (the “Response Plan”), the Operation and
Maintenance Plan approved by DTSC on March 7, 2019
(“O&M Plan”), and any additional remedial activities or protective measures.
DISCUSSION 10
209
• The Landowner requested that a new special tax to be known as the “Special Tax – State Parks” be added and included within CFD 9 to fund a fee for State Park services for Resource Protection Measures at Mandalay State Beach.
• Special Tax - State Parks services are required under Condition No. 92 of the original conditions of development imposed upon the developer.
• The Landowner has also requested that the facilities special tax be increased, and staff recommends and Landowner
agrees that the general services special tax be increased.
DISCUSSION 11
210
• The cost estimates of facilities, services, and State Park services have been reviewed and updated. All parties have reviewed the parameters of the modified special tax formula or the Amended and Restated Rate and Method of Apportionment (the “Amended RMA”), which includes the assigned and
maximum amended special tax for the Facilities, the amended special tax for the General Services, a new special tax for State Parks, and the existing special tax for Remediation Services. • The Special Taxes will be levied each year according to the Amended RMA and placed on the County property tax rolls.
DISCUSSION 12
211
• The first Resolution approves the form of a deposit and reimbursement agreement with the Landowner.
• The Landowner has made a deposit of $27,000 to the City toward the costs of modifying CFD 9, including the costs of consultant time.
• The costs of modifying the CFD 9 are the responsibility of the Landowner. If bonds are issued, the Landowner will be
reimbursed from the proceeds of the bonds.
DISCUSSION 13
212
• The Special Tax – Facilities levy is used to pay debt service on bonds or for facilities on a pay-as-you-go basis, or a combination thereof.
• Upon completion of the modification and election process for the CFD and once development has progressed sufficiently as determined by the City, CFD 9 will issue one or more series of Special Tax Bonds (the “Bonds”), to acquire the Facilities built by the Landowner.
• Bonds will also pay or reimburse the Landowner for the payment of certain impact fees related to Facilities as provided in an Amended and Restated Funding and Acquisition
Agreement, and to reimburse the Landowner for formation costs and modification costs of CFD 9
DISCUSSION 14
213
• The bond authorization for the District is proposed to be increased from a not to exceed amount of $22.5 million to a not to exceed amount of $40 million with the intent to issue one or more series of Bonds with a 30-year maturity with escalating debt service of 2% per year.
• The Amended RMA includes an assigned tax and a back-up tax for the Special Tax – Facilities for developed property in case the number of residential units built is less than estimated. Once developed property is taxed, undeveloped and contingent property will be taxed if needed. The
maximum Special Tax – Facilities escalates at an annual rate of 2%.
DISCUSSION 15
214
• Attached to this report is a description of the estimated facilities, the impact fees, and an estimated budget. Facilities, including fees, not financed by the CFD are still required to be provided by the Landowner.
• The Special Tax – Services will be levied annually in perpetuity to finance the General Services. Attached to this report is a description and estimated budget of the general services to be provided.

DISCUSSION 19
218
• Process. A petition to modify CFD 9 has been received from the Landowner covering the Property, consisting of
approximately 90 acres. The formal City Council approval process to change CFD 9 takes approximately sixty (60) to seventy-five (75) days.
1) First Step (at City Council meeting on June 3, 2025): City Council, acting as the legislative body of CFD 9, (a) adopts the resolution approving the form of the Deposit and
Reimbursement Agreement and (b) adopts a resolution of
consideration to modify CFD 9 and sets a public hearing on the proposed changes (scheduled for June 26, 2025).
DISCUSSION 20
219
2) Second Step (at City Council meeting on June 26, 2025):
City Council, acting as the legislative body of CFD 9, (a) holds a public hearing on the proposed modifications (b) provided there is no majority protest, adopts a resolution calling for election, (c) conducts a special mailed ballot election, (d) adopts a resolution canvassing the election and (e) adopts a resolution of change and approving the Amended and Restated Funding and Acquisition
Agreement.
• The Landowners have waived election timelines, so an
election may be held on June 26, 2025 to authorize the
increase of the facilities and general services special taxes and increase in authorized bonded indebtedness.
DISCUSSION 21
220
• Should the item pass with a two-thirds vote from the qualified voters (the Landowners), the City may adopt the resolution of change.
• At a later date, the CFD in its sole discretion will determine the final amount of Bonds issued. The proposed maximum
bond authorization is $40,000,000. The “not to exceed” bond amount for the CFD is based on Facilities costs and available Special Tax - Facilities.
DISCUSSION 22
221
• If the action is approved, the modification of CFD 9, special election, and approval of other related documents will occur on June 26, 2025.
• Bonds are not expected to be authorized for issuance or sale until the development is well underway and the Facilities are at or near completion, at which time documents relating to the issuance and sale of the bonds will be brought to the City Council for its approval.
DISCUSSION 23
222
• There is no direct financial impact in approving these resolutions. There is no financial impact to the General Fund.

FROM: Brenda Lopez, Interim Housing Director, (805) 385-8092, [email protected]
SUBJECT: Housing Authority Low Rent Public Housing and Housing Choice Voucher Program Section 8 Budgets for Fiscal Year 2025-2026. (15 minutes)
RECOMMENDATION
That the Finance and Governance Committee recommend that the Board of Commissioners of the Housing Authority of the City of Oxnard:
1. Adopt a resolution approving the recommended $7,795,322 operating budgets for the Low Rent Public Housing Program for Fiscal Year 2025-2026, as presented for each project area, and approve and authorize the use of $201,272 of unrestricted cash to fund the projected deficit.
2. Adopt a resolution approving the recommended $35,921,457 operating budget for the Housing Choice Voucher Program Section 8 for Fiscal Year 2025-2026, and approve and authorize the use of $149,715 of unrestricted cash to fund the projected deficit.

BACKGROUND
Annual Operating Budgets for the Low Rent Public Housing Program (LRPH) and the Housing Choice Voucher Program Section 8 (HCV) are to be submitted by the Housing Authority of the City of Oxnard (OHA) to the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) prior to the start of each fiscal year.
The LRPH budget pertains exclusively to the 523 public housing units that are owned and operated by the OHA. The program is subject to asset management regulations which require each public housing project to be funded and budgeted independently. Any expenses that cannot be tied directly to a public housing project are budgeted separately under the Central Office Cost Center (COCC). The LRPH program is funded primarily by two sources of income, including tenant rental income and operating subsidy from HUD. The amount of operating subsidy received is based upon a HUD determined formula, which considers the estimated costs of running each Public Housing development and reduces that by the amount of tenant rental income received by each development.
As previously mentioned, the COCC collects all the indirect administrative costs that do not show a direct benefit to a project. These costs are offset by HUD's determined fee revenues generated from public housing, including management fees, bookkeeping fees, and asset management fees. A budget deficit in a public housing project may be offset by a surplus in another project. However; if there is a deficit in the COCC budget, it must 225
be funded by the COCC's Unrestricted Cash & Investments reserves fund.
The HCV budget pertains exclusively to 1,864 Housing Choice Vouchers (not including forty-six Emergency Housing Vouchers and forty Mainstream Vouchers) administered by the OHA. The budget comprises two parts, including the housing assistance payments paid to property owners to subsidize rent and the administrative fees used to operate the administration of the HCV program. Funding is provided by Congress annually through an appropriation process. Most agencies receive renewal funding each year, based on the number and cost of the authorized vouchers in use during the prior year, adjusted for inflation. Funding for new vouchers awarded to the agency and administrative costs are provided separately.
DISCUSSION
LRPH
The recommended operating budget for the LRPH program is $7,795,322. This amount consists of an estimated COCC income of $1,137,428 and a $6,613,695 combined income total related to the public housing projects.
The COCC related expenses total $1,338,700 (consists of indirect administrative costs) and combined expenses related to the public housing projects total $6,456,622. The operating budget, if adopted as recommended, would result in a deficit of $201,272 for the COCC.
The Housing Authority continues to reduce the COCC budget deficit. For example, the budget deficit in the COCC budget was $365,438 in FY 20-21, and now has been reduced to $201,272 in FY 25-26. Efforts to reduce the COCC budget deficit over time include generating revenue by providing property management services for OHA-owned properties and closely monitoring opportunities to save on indirect costs. In addition, the OHA applied for HUD’s Rental Assistance Demonstration (RAD) program which allows for fungibility with other programs and offers an opportunity to generate income/surplus cash in the long run. If successful, the surplus may be distributable to the COCC.
The operating budget for the combined public housing projects will result in a net income of $157,073. In FY 20-21, the combined public housing projects had a budget deficit of $161,383. Efforts to reduce budget deficits over time have included right sizing families in units based on their household composition, improving operational efficiencies, and decreasing vacancy turn around time frames.
HCV
The recommended operating budget for the HCV program is $35,921,457. Of this amount, $32,191,250 consists of housing assistance payments, which are rental subsidies passed directly through the OHA from HUD to landlords. The total projected administrative fees total $3,580,492 and the expenses total $3,730,207.
The operating budget, if adopted as recommended, would result in a deficit of $149,715.
The HCV program’s operating costs are funded by HUD through administrative fees. However; the administrative fees issued by HUD are not based on actual costs. The OHA (as is the case with other public housing authorities) is not awarded enough funding to cover its operating costs. In 2020, the OHA launched the “rethink and renew” effort to identify, plan and implement strategic goals that will reduce the budget deficit over time. Some of the efforts undertaken include applying for new programs which have separate funding sources, streamlining processes, issuing project-based vouchers, and increasing lease up. These combined efforts have reduced the amount of budget deficits from $377,126 in FY 20-21 to $149,715 in FY 25-26.
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 226
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 to the General Fund for this recommendation.
The OHA has approximately $1,200,000 in the COCC Unrestricted Cash and Investments fund to cover the projected COCC budget deficiency of $201,272 for Fiscal Year 2025-2026. The remaining balance will be $998,728.
The OHA has approximately $2,400,000 in the HCV Program’s Unrestricted Cash and Investments fund to cover the projected HCV budget deficiency of $149,715 for Fiscal Year 2025-2026. The remaining balance will be $2,250,285.
