DATE: October 28, 2025

TO: Public Works and Transportation Committee

FROM: Michael Wolfe, Public Works Director, (805) 385-8055, [email protected]

SUBJECT: Purchase of Walking Floor Transfer Trailers and Deep Drop Tipper Transfer Trailers for the Environmental Resources Division. (10 minutes)

RECOMMENDATION

That the Public Works and Transportation Committee recommends that the City Council approve and authorize:

2. A budget appropriation of $228,207 from the available fund balance in the Environmental Resources Development Fund (634).

Please click the following link to view the required Measure M pre-recorded presentation: https://youtu.be/0FdlhNim5C8

BACKGROUND

Transfer trailers are used to transport solid waste and green waste from the Del Norte Regional Recycling Station to applicable destinations, such as the Simi Valley Landfill and Agromin facility in Santa Paula. In 2024, a Cost of Service (COS) was performed and new Environmental Resources (ER) rates were adopted by the City Council, which included funding for refuse vehicle replacements. Aligned with the COS, revenue is projected to support the acquisition, lease-purchase, and/or leasing of refuse collection vehicles needed to replace aging units and/or meet State zero-emission requirements.

The following table identifies transfer fleet trailers that are currently recommended for replacement:

9 DISCUSSION

The Environmental Resources Division recommends the purchase of 11 transfer trailers, consisting of four walking floor trailers and seven deep drop tipper trailers. This purchase will replace eight existing trailers, adding three additional transfer trailers to the fleet. Currently, ER owns and operates 20 transfer trailers to support the daily transport of solid and green waste. However, fleet aging, routine preventative maintenance, ongoing repairs, and mandatory U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) inspections every 90 days have affected trailer availability and operational efficiency. To ensure reliable hauling services for the amount of solid waste handled on a daily basis, ER proposes the addition of three new trailers as part of this procurement.

Eight of the existing transfer trailers have surpassed their 20-year useful life and are becoming increasingly costly and time-consuming to maintain and repair. To ensure continued reliability during periods of repair or preventative maintenance, ER is also purchasing three additional transfer trailers to serve as backup units.

On June 16, 2025, the City issued a Request for Bid (RFB) PW 25-138 to solicit bids from vendors for four Walking Floor Transfer Trailers and seven Deep Drop Tipper Transfer Trailers. Three proposals were received by the submission deadline of June 27, 2025.

Vendor Grand Total
Chavez Brothers Management $1,576,222.80
TEC Equipment $1,520,558.20
The Trailer Company $1,295,325.82

The solicitation included equipment specifications. The Trailer Company, Inc. was the lowest bidder and The Trailer Company, Inc. meets all required City contractual provisions. 8 2004 21 yrs Peerless 3737 1PLX048224PA53648

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

10 The total cost of the Purchase Order with The Trailer Company, Inc. shall not exceed $1,400,000 for the purchase of four walking floor transfer trailers and seven deep drop tipper transfer trailers. This amount allows for enough purchasing latitude to account for possible price increases due to uncertainties such as potential tariffs and regulatory changes.

Funding for this purchase will be provided from two sources identified in the Fiscal Year 2025-26 Adopted Budget: the Environmental Resources Operating Fund (Fund 631) and the Environmental Resources Development Fund (Fund 634). There is $381k allocated from Fund 631 and $790k allocated from Fund 634 in the current budget. Fund 634 has an additional available fund balance, which is specific for ER vehicle purchases and should be used first. As such staff is requesting an additional budget appropriation of $228,207 from the available fund balance of Fund 634 for this purchase.

SUBJECT: Workshop for Lighting at City Parks that includes: Sports Field Lighting, Walkway Lighting, and the Park Hours for Lighting. (30 minutes)

RECOMMENDATION

That the Public Works and Transportation Committee discuss and review the current inventory of City parks with sports fields, parks with walkway and sports field lights, consider the pros and cons for adding sports field lighting and walkway lighting at other city-owned locations, consider a pilot project for sports field lighting, and provide recommendations for location(s) and hours of operation, or other staff direction as necessary.

BACKGROUND

Based on the national average of parks and park amenities from data provided by the National Recreation and Parks Association (“NRPA”) that is contained in the Oxnard 2021 Parks and Recreation Master Plan (“Master Plan”), the City of Oxnard is deficient in the number of soccer and multi-purpose fields for a population the size of Oxnard (Attachment 1). Accordingly, staff has received requests from community members, soccer teams, the Parks, Recreation, & Community Services Commission, and the Mayor for additional sports fields and field lighting.

The Master Plan has identified in Key Finding #2 that “Oxnard is significantly below the national parks and recreation standards for… Soccer Fields and Multi-purpose fields” and in Key Finding #7 that “Soccer is the most popular sport throughout the community” (Attachment 2). The Master Plan also states that there are approximately 250 youth soccer teams and approximately 50-60 adult soccer teams in the City of Oxnard, but the City only has eight dedicated programmable soccer fields (Attachment 3). Per the national average for a population the size of Oxnard, the Master Plan has identified that the City needs a total of 16 soccer fields and 27 multi-purpose fields. Multi-purpose fields also accommodate soccer. The following locations, which, when designed and ultimately constructed as part of a future Capital Improvement Program (CIP) project, will provide additional sports fields:

1. College Park - In January 2023, the City Council designated the future use at College Park to be a soccer complex. However, the undeveloped portion of the park does not have an identified project within the CIP, except for the Aquatic Center.

2. Sports Park - This project is listed on page 90 of the 2025-29 Oxnard CIP, but has limited funding for preliminary design work. On January 17, 2023, the City Council designated the future use at Sports 26 Park to be a baseball/softball complex (Attachment 4) that is supported by a recommendation in the Master Plan (Attachment 5).

The Master Plan calls for improvements at Durley Park and the future Sports Park to "consolidate resources” for baseball and softball (Attachment 6). The Durley Park improvements have bid-ready design plans and specifications with funding available from a State Parks Grant. This information is listed on page 75 of the 2025-29 Oxnard CIP.

Currently, the following City parks/locations have sports lighting and are programmed by the Cultural & Community Services Department for use after sunset for authorized sports activities.

1. College Park, 3250 S, Rose Ave (soccer)

2. Del Sol Park Stadium, 1500 Camino del Sol (soccer)

3. Rio Vista (Joint Use), 3050 Thames River Rd. (baseball, softball, soccer Sept-Nov.)

4. Community Center Park West, 801 Hobson Way (baseball, softball)

5. Beck Park, 600 W. Kamala (baseball, softball)

6. Colonia Park, 170 N. Juanita Ave. (baseball, softball)

7. Durley Park (new construction estimated to begin in FY 2026/27), 910 Hill St. (baseball, softball) The following are sports fields that are programmed by the Cultural & Community Services Department that do not have sports field lighting:

1. Del Sol Park East, 1500 Camino Del Sol (soccer)

2. Southwest Community Park, 2500 W. 5th Street (soccer)

3. Via Marina Neighborhood Park, 3301 Keel Way (soccer, baseball, softball)

4. River Ridge (Cowboys Fields), 2501 N. Ventura Rd. (soccer)

5. Eastwood Neighborhood Park, 731 Ivywood Dr. (baseball, softball)

6. Carty Neighborhood Park, 3900 F St. (baseball, softball)

7. Johnson Creek Park, 501 Johnson Rd. (baseball)

DISCUSSION

Current Condition for Lighting:

Throughout all City parks, especially during the fall and winter months when afternoon daylight hours are limited, many youth teams set up make-shift temporary lighting to extend their practice times into the evening. This is a concern for the following reasons:

1. The make-shift lighting may not be adequate for user safety,

2. Limited ability to track and fairly program usable public areas for equitable use across deserving sports groups,

3. The lights may be disturbing the residents around the neighborhood parks,

4. Noise generated by the users (e.g. sport whistles); and

5. The continual use of these parks may cause excessive wear in the turf, sometimes creating noticeable “dirt” areas.

Looking at the historical use of parks for sports activities with make-shift temporary lights, the Community Development/Code Enforcement team has provided the following locations with such activity as of July 2025:
o Southwest Community Park
o Rio Lindo
o Camino Del Sol
o East Village
o West Village Park
o Central Park
27 Pilot Project:

From different perspectives, there can be pros and cons to permanently adding sports lighting to existing City parks. Some of the pros include:

Creating more spaces for activities that are currently limited, and Positive activities for youth and adults that promote exercise, teamwork, sportsmanship, and occupy their time.

Some of the cons include:

1. Light, noise, and parking issues that may impact surrounding residents,

2. Additional wear in turf, and additional field maintenance performed by the Parks Division, and

3. Additional administration for field use/scheduling by the Cultural & Community Services Department.

Instead of committing to adding permanent lighting to an existing park, staff recommends a pilot project to provide the community, both the users of the fields and the surrounding neighborhood (e.g. survey the community and end-users), the opportunity to have input on the pros and cons of permanently lighting a park that was not originally designed for this programming. The criteria that staff recommends for evaluating the pilot project include, but not limited to:

1. Amount of usable space for fields with new or enhanced lighting

2. Additional programing that will be available by lighting these fields

3. Amount of lighting (foot-candles produced) from new or enhanced lighting

4. Any parking impacts to the neighborhood

5. Any noise impacts to the neighborhood

6. Any long-term maintenance impacts to the turf or irrigation

7. Any police/security impacts (improvements or concerns)

8. The restroom needs and impacts with existing or rented facilities If funding is identified and approved by the City Council, it is estimated to take six to twelve months before the pilot project is operational due to the workload for existing capital projects, design and permitting requirements, and procurement timelines. Staff recommends the pilot project remain in place for twelve months to fully assess the benefits and challenges for the location of the pilot project. Upon completion of the twelve month pilot project, a report to the City Council will be made that will be based upon the criteria established to evaluate the program (samples listed above).

The following data is provided to assist in the subject workshop:

Costs for Field Lighting:

Staff researched options to add solar-powered lighting in lieu of traditional hard-wired lighting to keep costs to a minimum, reduce design and permitting requirements, and minimize construction time. However, based upon discussions with lighting companies, solar lights are not capable of providing a sufficient level of lighting for youth sports (average of 30 foot-candles distributed equally across the field). Current technology is sufficient to light an area only as large as a tennis court. Therefore, traditionally powered (i.e. hard-wired connection to SCE) LED lighting designed for sports fields is necessary.

The estimated cost of installing a LED lighting system for one standard soccer field (330’ X 210’) is $640,000.

This price includes soft costs and providing a new electrical service. One standard soccer field may be used by up to four youth teams for practice and games (U12, U10, U6). The utility costs are subject to actual use. Based on the field use at College Park, the annual electrical costs are estimated at $10,000 per field. 28 The estimated cost for the temporary lighting of a U12 soccer field (210’ X 135’) with portable rented stadium lights is $384,000 for twelve months, $75,000 for a temporary power feed by SCE, and $10,000 for twelve months of electricity.

Cameras:

The Master Plan supports relying more on surveillance cameras in the parks (Attachment 7). The Police Department supports the idea of expanded nighttime hours in City parks, provided that: 1) expanded hour parks have amenities that support activities; 2) park lighting is adequate, and 3) cameras are installed. Attached is a document prepared by the Oxnard Police Department (Attachment 8) related to park hours and lighting. Some additional estimated costs related to cameras include:

1. Camera Cost ~ 4 x $2,500 each, total $10k. Camera: Outdoor, Low Light, Vandal-Resistant. This cost assumes the park site already has fiber and power available.

2. Design and install ~ $10,000

3. Monitor to connect to PD VMS 4 camera licenses $1,400

4. O&M (if any) ~ $2,000 per year
Maintenance Costs:

If City parks without lights were to be retrofitted with lights, either on a temporary (pilot project) basis or a permanent basis, cost impacts related to field/turf maintenance need to be considered. Here are some estimated costs for consideration:

1. The cost to change the daily closing time of one restroom from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. is an additional $6,205 per year. The reason for the additional cost is that the contract custodian closes all of the park restrooms between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. and therefore has to return later in the evening for the remaining restroom(s).

2. The cost estimate for the additional soccer field maintenance is an additional $25,000 per year, per field, over the cost of maintaining just park turf.

Types of Parks (as defined on page 143 of the Parks & Recreation Master Plan):
• Mini-Parks/Pocket parks (under 3 Acres) – Serve a limited target population (youth, senior citizens, etc.) living within a short radius of the park. Small/Pocket parks provide for the needs of limited or concentrated populations and activities.
• Neighborhood Parks (3-10 Acres) – Serve the surrounding neighborhood, are easily accessible to local residents and provide recreational activities. Neighborhood parks provide open space for a population in a designated area/neighborhood within a quarter- to half-mile radius. Neighborhood park features include: Playgrounds, Benches, Sidewalks, Picnic Tables, and Open Turf Areas that can be used as Game Fields. Some parks in Oxnard also have: Restrooms, Pavilions, and Off-Street Parking. • Community Parks (10 - 20 Acres) – Provide diverse recreational opportunities to meet the needs of several surrounding neighborhoods. These facilities often include: Sports Complexes, Visitor Centers, Playgrounds, Benches, Sidewalks, Picnic Tables, and other amenities. Community parks serve an area within a one-mile radius and provide for open space that often includes: Restrooms, Concessions, and Off-Street Parking.
• Regional Parks – Serve several communities over a 1 mile radius for multi-use recreation. Regional park features include: Sports Complexes, Plazas, Amphitheaters, Arenas, Trail Systems, Playgrounds, Picnic Areas, Visitors Centers, Restrooms, Concessions, Off-Street Parking, Natural Areas, and 29 Wildlife Habitat Areas. College Park, Ololkoy Beach Park, and Ormond Beach may be considered Regional Parks.

Park Considerations for Pilot Sports Field Lighting:

1. Southwest Community Park is the only non-neighborhood park with sports fields without lighting.

Activities already occur here (i.e. with private lights); but there are no immediately adjacent neighbors to provide real feedback. This might be a park to just install lights as a CIP project in the future, but will require FAA approval.

2. Pleasant Valley Park is a neighborhood park with enough space to accommodate lighting and on-street parking. However, this is a neighborhood park and therefore requires feedback from the residents around the vicinity of the park.

3. Southwinds Park is a neighborhood park with room for one small field and perhaps another larger field if some of the picnic areas were relocated. A community member has recently requested the City add a soccer field to the park.

4. Beck Park may be considered a community park with off-street parking, concessions, restrooms, and two baseball fields with lighting. This lighting can be enhanced to accommodate additional soccer activities.

5. Connelly Park is a neighborhood park with limited on-street parking. Three sides of the park are bordered by residential backyards.

Possible steps for a pilot project:

1. Community outreach
a. INCO, Neighborhood Groups, recreational community events, surveys to sports organizations

2. Temporarily install lights
a. temp lighting option that will actually replicate the impact - one without generators to avoid artificial noise that would not simulate the final version

3. Program field through Cultural and Community Services (CCS) for practice and games a. CCS to update Facilitron and the usage policy (if necessary) to accommodate scheduling practice (game scheduling would continue in Facilitron) b. CCS outreach to organizations on the need to schedule practices (in addition to games, as already required)
c. Establish a Fee for rental if existing fees don’t cover this (Council action might be required)

4. Monitor for a period of time - see potential list above

5. Report to Council on results

Non Sports Field Lighting:

It’s difficult to have a discussion about sports field lighting in City parks without including other types of lighting, such as walkway lights and security lights, since they impact the park hours of operation equally. The Master Plan provides recommendations for changing the Sunset Ordinance and Improving Pedestrian Lighting in all parks as detailed below.

Hours of Operation:

The Master Plan recommends reconsideration of the Sunset Ordinance (Attachment 9). The current City Code identifies the park operation hours as 7 a.m. to Dusk. This is posted at most parks with the exception of College Park. The signs at College Park identify the hours of operation as 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. However, these hours are not identified in the City Code. Additionally, there are many parks with sports field lighting, walkway lighting, and security lighting for use after dusk. Therefore, any discussion about a pilot project should include a discussion about hours of operation for parks with existing and/or new lights. The following are the existing 30 City Code sections that pertain to park usage and hours of operations: Sections 7-136 and 7-137 may need to be amended to the desired hours in order to accommodate the various park uses, such as walking and sports.

Establishing park hours should involve the residents around each park, especially for sports fields and take into consideration any related needs for security.

CITY CODE SEC. 7-136. PARKS TO BE CLOSED AT DUSK; VIOLATION.

(A) Except when different hours shall be established by the city manager, any public park and/or recreation area owned or operated by the city shall be closed everyday to the public from dusk to 7:00 a.m.

(B) Any person who enters or is on the premises of a public park or recreation area owned or operated by the city at a time when the park or facility is closed, shall be guilty of a violation of section 1-10 of this code.

(`64 Code, Sec. 20-16) (Ord. No. 2452)

CITY CODE SEC. 7-137. APPLICATION FOR PERMISSION TO BE IN A PARK OR RECREATION AREA.

Any person, wishing to be in or otherwise use a public park or recreation area, owned or operated by the city, between dusk and 7:00 a.m. shall obtain a permit to do so. The application for the permit shall be on a form approved by the city manager.

(`64 Code, Sec. 20-17) (Ord. No. 2452)

SEC. 7-323. PARKS AND PARK FACILITIES - FINDINGS.

The city council finds as follows:

(A) City parks and park facilities should be open to use and enjoyment by all city residents, businesses, and visitors during specific hours that the city parks and facilities are open to the public;

(B) Violators of local park laws, rules, or regulations infringe upon the enjoyment and use of city parks and park facilities; and

(C) In adopting this article, the city council has specifically exempted conduct and activities involved the exercise of First Amendment rights from its application, purpose, and intent.

(Ord. No. 2966)

Walkway Lights:

The Master Plan recommends improved lighting for safety in the parks “...for sports fields and pedestrian lighting along the park paths and perimeter when applicable.” (Attachment 10). If there is a general desire to activate a park for security reasons after sunset, then alternatives to costly sports field lighting can be considered. This includes walkway lights or localized park lighting not designed to be used for sports activities. This still requires a CIP project to be added to the existing City Council approved capital program and City Council approved funding.

Some of the City’s parks that already have walkway or localized lighting include: Plaza Park, Community Center Park East, Cabrillo Park, Connelly Park, Southwinds Park, Dunkirk Park, Southbank Park, Sea View 31 Park, Sea Air Park, Rio Lindo Park, Lemonwood Park, Garden City Acres Park, and Del Sol Park. In order to add lights to other parks, solar powered lights could be considered as a cost savings measure. Here is some information regarding solar powered walkway lights:
o Example: https://www.fonrochesolarlighting.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/datasheet-essential- single-smartlight-022625.pdf
o Cost:
▪ Design/install ~ $6,200 per assembly (light, solar module, 16 ft pole, anchor bolts). ▪ Concrete footing ~ $500 per assembly (engineered/poured). ▪ O&M ~ $0 per fixture/year. Lights have a 5 Year Warranty and the costs beyond 5 years are unknown.
▪ Design plans and plan check ~ $100,000.
▪ Assume 1 solar LED lights per 100 lf of walkway (on center) as needed.

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES

FINANCIAL IMPACT

There is no direct fiscal impact for this workshop. Future capital projects, should they be considered, would need to be reviewed and approved by the City Council separately.

POLICE DEPARTMENT INPUT RE PARK HOURS & LIGHTING
Police Department staff recently discussed considerations related to the possibility of expanding the “open hours” for City of Oxnard parks.

The Police Department supports the idea of expanded nighttime hours in city parks, provided that: 1) Expanded hour parks have amenities that support activities; 2) Park lighting is adequate, and 3) Cameras are installed.

Some recommendations/considerations:
● Closing hour:
○ Police Department staff believe that 9 PM is an appropriate closing time for parks.
■ This hour would allow for expanded athletic practices/games. ■ This hour also parallels the City's curfew ordinance for individuals under the age of 18.
■ Parks with recreational activities such as basketball courts, playgrounds, walking tracks, etc. could be prioritized for later hours. ● Park lighting :
○ Should be a priority and addressed before a change in park hours is authorized. ● Parks with video surveillance (cameras do not have coverage of the entire park):
■ Pleasant Valley Park
■ Southwinds Park
■ Lemonwood Park
■ Lathrop Park
■ Thompson Park
■ Colonia Park
■ Del Sol Park
■ Wilson Park
■ Beck Park
■ Plaza Park
● Bathrooms :
○ Should they stay open until the park is closed?
■ PD’s recommendation would be that they remain closed and secured at the same hour they currently close.
■ The bathrooms are magnets for nuisance and criminal behavior, particularly during hours of darkness.
■ A vast majority of individuals using the park at night will be residents of the neighborhood and can go home for a bathroom if necessary. ○ Who will maintain/close the bathrooms at night?
■ The Public Works has a janitorial service contract for this work. Currently the contractor closes the restrooms around 7pm..
● Police community camera(s ) should be installed in each park before hours are expanded.

The Parks After Dark initiative in Los Angeles resulted in positive changes for the impacted neighborhoods. Click here to read more.
● The Los Angeles initiative referenced above included a vibrant array of stakeholders including county probation, intervention specialists, recreation leaders, and "park therapy workers" that provided services at the parks at night. This should be a priority. 50 OXNARD PARKS AND RECREATION MASTER PLAN
CASE STUDY ONE: SAFETY IN “SUMMER NIGHT LIGHTS”
CASE STUDY TWO: MIDNIGHT BASKETBALL LEAGUES
• Summer Night Lights started in 2008 by extending nighttime operating hours in crime-filled parks along with recreational, art and entertainment- based programming.
• The program was expanded from 8 to 32 park sites in Los Angeles over a five year period. It also reduced gang violence, created over 1,000 jobs, and recreational opportunities for over 700,000 participants. • The program budget was around $5.4 million,with almost half provided by private funding and the remainder from public sources. • The program helped fuel the local economy while creating stronger and safer communities.
• A national non-profit organization organized basketball and other programming from 10 pm to 2 am to keep youth in urban areas off the street.
• The goal was to help young men develop self esteem through education and recreation. In addition to recreation, the program provided employment workshops and skills training.
• Crime in neighborhoods was shown to decrease by up to 30% over the program’s first three years of implementation.

Los Angeles, California
Across the U.S.A.

Oxnard’s Sunset Ordinance closes
parks after dark. The goal of this
ordinance is to deter crime, but it
has the potential to do the opposite.

By prohibiting lawful activity, the
ordinance could inadvertently invite
unlawful activity. Keeping parks
open later will generate activity
and allow more “eyes on the
park.” Examples includes nighttime
joggers, people walking home from
shifts, dog walkers, and teenagers
who don’t have a place to hang out.

With appropriate lighting, late night
programming such as midnight
basketball or summer concert series
can keep parks active.

Cities that have implemented
nighttime park programming
have reported numerous benefits.

Two case studies, included
here, demonstrate the effects of
nighttime programming efforts
on that transforming urban parks.

Oxnard should consider suspending
the Sunset Ordinance on a case by
case basis, especially in parks with
good lighting, and in neighborhoods
with a large youth population.

64 BACKGROUND
4 Accordingly, staff has received requests from community members, soccer teams, the Parks, Recreation, & Community Services Commission, and the Mayor for additional sports fields and field lighting.
65 BACKGROUND
5 The Master Plan has identified:
• Key Finding #2 that “Oxnard
is significantly below the
national parks and
recreation standards for…
Soccer Fields and Multi-
purpose fields”
• Key Finding #7 that “Soccer
is the most popular sport
throughout the community”
66 BACKGROUND
6 The Master Plan also states:
• There are approximately
250 youth soccer teams and
approximately 50-60 adult
soccer teams in the City of
Oxnard, but
• The City only has eight
dedicated programmable
soccer fields
67 BACKGROUND
7 Per the national average for a
population the size of Oxnard,
the Master Plan has identified
that the City needs:
• A total of 16 soccer fields
and
• 27 multi-purpose fields.

Multi-purpose fields also
accommodate soccer.
68 The following locations, which, when designed and ultimately constructed as part of a future Capital Improvement Program (CIP) project, will provide additional sports fields:

1. College Park - In January 2023, the City Council
designated the future use at College Park to be a soccer complex. However, the undeveloped portion of the park
does not have an identified project within the CIP, except for the Aquatic Center.

BACKGROUND
8 69

BACKGROUND
9 2. Sports Park - This project
is listed on page 90 of the
2025-29 Oxnard CIP, but has
limited funding for preliminary
design work. On January 17,
2023, the City Council
designated the future use at
Sports Park to be a
baseball/softball complex.

This is supported by a
recommendation in the
Master Plan.
70 BACKGROUND
10 The Master Plan calls for
improvements at Durley Park
and the future Sports Park to
"consolidate resources” for
baseball and softball.
71 The Durley Park improvements have bid-ready design plans and specifications with funding available from a State Parks Grant. This information is listed on page 75 of the 2025-29 Oxnard CIP.

BACKGROUND
11 72
Currently, the following City parks/locations have sports lighting and are programmed by the Cultural & Community Services Department for use after sunset for authorized sports activities.

1. College Park, 3250 S, Rose Ave (soccer)

2. Del Sol Park Stadium, 1500 Camino del Sol (soccer)

3. Rio Vista (Joint Use), 3050 Thames River Rd. (baseball, softball, soccer Sept-Nov.)

4. Community Center Park West, 801 Hobson Way (baseball, softball)

5. Beck Park, 600 W. Kamala (baseball, softball)

6. Colonia Park, 170 N. Juanita Ave. (baseball, softball)

7. Durley Park (new construction estimated to begin in FY 2026/27), 910 Hill St. (baseball, softball)

BACKGROUND
12 73
The following are sports fields that are programmed by the Cultural & Community Services Department that do not have sports field lighting:

1. Del Sol Park East, 1500 Camino Del Sol (soccer)

2. Southwest Community Park, 2500 W. 5th Street (soccer)

3. Via Marina Neighborhood Park, 3301 Keel Way (soccer, baseball, softball)

4. River Ridge (Cowboys Fields), 2501 N. Ventura Rd. (soccer)

5. Eastwood Neighborhood Park, 731 Ivywood Dr. (baseball, softball)

6. Carty Neighborhood Park, 3900 F St. (baseball, softball)

7. Johnson Creek Park, 501 Johnson Rd. (baseball)

BACKGROUND
13 74
Current Condition for Lighting:

Throughout all City parks, especially during the fall and winter months when afternoon daylight hours are limited, many
youth teams set up make-shift temporary lighting to extend their practice times into the evening. This is a concern for the following reasons:

1. The make-shift lighting may not be adequate for user safety,

2. Limited ability to track and fairly program usable public areas for equitable use across deserving sports groups,

3. The lights may be disturbing the residents around the neighborhood parks,

4. Noise generated by the users (e.g. sport whistles); and

5. The continual use of these parks may cause excessive wear in the turf, sometimes creating noticeable “dirt” areas.

DISCUSSION
14 75
Current Condition for Lighting:

1. Southwest Community Park

2. Rio Lindo

3. Camino Del Sol

4. East Village

5. West Village Park

6. Central Park

DISCUSSION
15 76
Pilot Project:

From different perspectives, there can be pros and cons to permanently adding sports lighting to existing City
parks. Some of the pros include:

1. Creating more spaces for activities that are currently limited, and

2. Positive activities for youth and adults that promote exercise, teamwork, sportsmanship, and occupy their time.

Some of the cons include:

1. Light, noise, and parking issues that may impact surrounding residents,

2. Additional wear in turf, and additional field maintenance performed by the Parks Division, and

3. Additional administration for field use/scheduling by the Cultural & Community Services Department.

DISCUSSION
16 77
Pilot Project:

DISCUSSION
17 78
Pilot Project:

The criteria that staff recommends for evaluating the pilot project include, but not limited to:

1. Amount of usable space for fields with new or enhanced lighting

2. Additional programing that will be available by lighting these fields

3. Amount of lighting (foot-candles produced) from new or enhanced lighting

4. Any parking impacts to the neighborhood

5. Any noise impacts to the neighborhood

6. Any long-term maintenance impacts to the turf or irrigation

7. Any police/security impacts (improvements or concerns)

8. The restroom needs and impacts with existing or rented facilities

DISCUSSION
18 79
Pilot Project:

If funding is identified and approved by the City Council, it is estimated to take six to twelve months before the pilot project is operational due to the workload for existing capital projects, design and permitting requirements, and procurement timelines. Staff recommends the pilot project remain in place for twelve months to fully assess the benefits and challenges for the location of the pilot project. Upon completion of the twelve month pilot project, a report to the City Council will be made that will be based upon the criteria established to evaluate the program.

The following data is provided to assist in the subject workshop:

DISCUSSION
19 80
Costs for Field Lighting:
• Staff researched options to add solar-powered lighting in lieu of traditional hard-wired lighting to keep costs to a minimum, reduce design and permitting requirements, and minimize construction time. However, based upon discussions with lighting companies, solar lights are not capable of providing a sufficient level of lighting for youth sports (average of 30 foot-candles distributed equally across the field).

Current technology is sufficient to light an area only as large as a tennis court. Therefore, traditionally powered (i.e. hard-wired connection to SCE) LED lighting designed for sports fields is necessary.

DISCUSSION
20 81
Costs for Field Lighting:
• The estimated cost of installing a LED lighting system for one standard soccer field (330’ X 210’) is $640,000. This price includes soft costs and providing a new electrical service. One standard soccer field may be used by up to four youth teams for practice and games (U12, U10, U6). The utility costs are subject to actual use. Based on the field use at College Park, the annual electrical costs are estimated at $10,000 per field.
• The estimated cost for the temporary lighting of a U12 soccer field (210’ X 135’) with portable rented stadium lights is $384,000 for twelve months, $75,000 for a temporary power feed by SCE, and $10,000 for twelve months of electricity.

DISCUSSION
21 82

DISCUSSION
22 Cameras:

The Master Plan supports relying
more on surveillance cameras in the
parks.

The Police Department supports the
idea of expanded nighttime hours in
City parks, provided that:
1) Expanded hour parks have
amenities that support activities;
2) Park lighting is adequate, and
3) Cameras are installed.
83 DISCUSSION
23 Cameras:

Cost:
1) Camera Cost ~ 4 x $2,500
each, total $10k. Camera:

Outdoor, Low Light, Vandal-
Resistant. This cost assumes
the park site already has fiber
and power available.
2) Design and install ~ $10,000
3) Monitor to connect to PD VMS 4
camera licenses $1,400
4) O&M (if any) ~ $2,000 per year
84 Maintenance Costs:

2. The cost estimate for the additional soccer field maintenance is an additional $25,000 per year, per field, over the cost of maintaining just park turf.

DISCUSSION
24 85
Park Considerations for Pilot Sports Field Lighting:

1. Southwest Community Park is the only non-neighborhood park with sports fields without lighting. Activities already occur here (i.e. with private lights); but there are no immediately adjacent neighbors to provide real feedback. This might be a park to just install lights as a CIP project in the future, but will require FAA approval.

5. Connelly Park is a neighborhood park with limited on-street parking. Three sides of the park are bordered by residential backyards.

DISCUSSION
25 86
Possible steps for a pilot project:

1. Community outreach - INCO, Neighborhood Groups, recreational community events, surveys to sports organizations

2. Temporarily install lights - temp lighting option that will actually replicate the impact - one without generators to avoid artificial noise that would not simulate the final version

3. Program field through Cultural and Community Services (CCS) - for practice and games with CCS will update Facilitron and the usage policy (if necessary) to accommodate scheduling practice. CCS will provide outreach to organizations on the need to schedule practices and games. Fees for rental will need to be established if existing fees don’t cover this (Council action might be required).

4. Monitor for a period of time

5. Report to Council on results

DISCUSSION

Non Sports Field Lighting:

DISCUSSION
27 88

DISCUSSION
28 Hours of Operation:

The Master Plan recommends
reconsideration of the Sunset
Ordinance.

The current City Code identifies the
park operation hours as 7 a.m. to
Dusk. This is posted at most parks
with the exception of College Park.

The signs at College Park identify
the hours of operation as 7 a.m. to
10 p.m. However, these hours are
not identified in the City Code
89 DISCUSSION
29 Hours of Operation:

There are many parks with sports
field lighting, walkway lighting, and
security lighting for use after dusk.

Any discussion about a pilot project
should include a discussion about
hours of operation for parks with
existing and/or new lights.

Sections 7-136 and 7-137 may need
to be amended to the desired hours
in order to accommodate the
various park uses, such as walking
and sports.

CITY CODE SEC. 7-136. PARKS TO BE CLOSED AT
DUSK; VIOLATION.
(A) Except when different hours shall be established by the city manager, any public park and/or recreation area owned or operated by the city shall be closed everyday to the public from dusk to 7:00 a.m.
(B) Any person who enters or is on the premises of a public park or recreation area owned or operated by the city at a time when the park or facility is closed, shall be guilty of a violation of section 1-10 of this code.
(C) This section shall not apply to events, programs and activities sponsored or permitted by the city.
(`64 Code, Sec. 20-16) (Ord. No. 2452)
CITY CODE SEC. 7-137. APPLICATION FOR

PERMISSION TO BE IN A PARK OR RECREATION
AREA.

Any person, wishing to be in or otherwise use a public park or recreation area, owned or operated by the city, between dusk and 7:00 a.m. shall obtain a permit to do so. The
application for the permit shall be on a form approved by the city manager.
(`64 Code, Sec. 20-17) (Ord. No. 2452)
90 Hours of Operation:

Establishing park hours should involve the residents around each park, especially for sports fields and take into consideration any related needs for security.

DISCUSSION
30 91

DISCUSSION
31 Walkway Lights:

The Master Plan recommends
improved lighting for safety in the
parks “...for sports fields and
pedestrian lighting along the park
paths and perimeter when
applicable.”
92 DISCUSSION
32 Walkway Lights:

If there is a general desire to activate
a park for security reasons after
sunset, then alternatives to costly
sports field lighting can be
considered.

This includes walkway lights or
localized park lighting not designed
to be used for sports activities.

This still requires a CIP project to be
added to the existing City Council
approved capital program and City
Council approved funding.
93 Walkway Lights:
• Some of the City’s parks that already have walkway or localized lighting include: Plaza Park, Community Center Park East, Cabrillo Park, Connelly Park, Southwinds Park, Dunkirk Park, Southbank Park, Sea View Park, Sea Air Park, Rio Lindo Park, Lemonwood Park, Garden City Acres Park, and Del Sol Park.
• In order to add lights to other parks, solar powered lights could be considered as a cost savings measure.

DISCUSSION
33 94

DISCUSSION
34 Walkway Lights:

Cost:
• Design/install ~ $6,200 per
assembly (light, solar module,
16 ft pole, anchor bolts)
• Concrete footing ~ $500 per
assembly.
• O&M ~ $0 per fixture/year.

Lights have a 5 Year Warranty
and the costs beyond 5 years
are unknown.
• Design plans and plan check ~
$100,000.
• Assume 1 solar LED lights per
100’ of walkway (on center) as
needed.
95 There is no fiscal impact for this workshop. Future capital projects, should they be considered, would need to be
reviewed and approved by the City Council separately.
