38 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
INFORMATION/CONSENT AGENDA
AGENDA ITEM NO. L.4
DATE: March 3, 2026
TO: Housing Authority
FROM: Brenda Lopez, Housing Director, (805) 385-8092, [email protected] SUBJECT: Oxnard Housing Authority’s Monthly Investment Report.
RECOMMENDATION
That the Oxnard Housing Authority Board of Commissioners receive and file the monthly investment report for the period ending January 2026.
(This item did not originate in Committee.)
BACKGROUND
The Oxnard Housing Authority’s (OHA) invests funds in compliance with California Government Code Section 53600 et seq., and the OHA’s Investment Policy. This report follows the guidelines established in the California Government Code section 53646 and the OHA’s adopted Investment Policy, which was most recently adopted by the Oxnard Housing Authority Board of Commissioners (Board) on July 15, 2025. The Investment Policy requires the OHA to submit a monthly transaction report to the Board.
DISCUSSION
In recent history, the OHA has invested excess cash utilizing a combination of in-house efforts and an outside agent Local Agency Investment Fund (LAIF), which is permitted by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and State law. This practice minimizes risk (safety), ensures easy access to funds (liquidity), and generates reasonable returns (yield), in that order. LAIF is very flexible. Funds can be deposited and/or withdrawn daily. This has made the OHA’s cash management much more effective and has proven to be a valuable investment and cash management tool for the OHA.
All of the OHA’s investments are managed in compliance with California Government Code 53600 et seq. and the OHA’s investment policies and guidelines.
LAIF
LAIF is a voluntary investment program created by statute, as an investment alternative for California's local governments and special districts. This program offers local agencies the opportunity to participate in a major portfolio which invests hundreds of millions of dollars, using the investment expertise of the State Treasurer's Office professional investment staff at no additional cost to the taxpayer. LAIF is part of the Pooled Money Investment Account (PMIA).
As of the period ending January 31, 2026, the fund balance held in LAIF was $22,415,200.60 compared to $22,182,655.18 for the period ending December 31, 2025. The funds in LAIF are allocated over 10 accounts. The various accounts represent each of the OHA’s major funds (i.e. Public Housing (PH), Housing Choice Voucher (HCV), Central Fund Reserve). During the month of January, the only transaction posted was in the amount of $232,545.42, which was for interest earned for the previous quarter ending December 31, 2025, and allocated based on balances per fund. There 39 were no deposits or withdrawal transactions from LAIF in January 2026. The investment position for each fund is summarized in the table below.
On January 31, 2026, the LAIF quarterly apportionment rate was 3.931%, compared to 4.025% for the period ending December 31, 2025.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
INFORMATION/CONSENT AGENDA
AGENDA ITEM NO. L.5
DATE: March 3, 2026
TO: City Council
FROM: Michael Wolfe, Public Works Director, (805) 385-8055, [email protected] SUBJECT: Amend Approval of Term Date to Agreement 32600264 with Carollo Engineers, Inc. for Construction Management services for the Secondary Sedimentation Tank Mechanical Equipment Replacement Phase II Project PW 26-21.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council amend the approval of the term date of Agreement 32600264 with Carollo Engineers, Inc. to a term of two years, from January 6, 2026, to January 5, 2028. (This item did not originate in Committee as this item was previously approved by the City Council on January 6, 2026)
BACKGROUND
On January 6, 2026, the City Council approved agreement 32600264 with Carollo Engineers, Inc. for an initial term of three years from January 6, 2026, to January 5, 2029, with an option to extend for two consecutive one-year period extensions ending January 5, 2031, for a total amount not to exceed $240,120.00 for construction management services for the Secondary Sedimentation Tank Mechanical Equipment Replacement Phase II Project PW 26-21.
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Reference:
Project No. C2402 - Secondary Sedimentation Tank Mechanical Equipment Replacement - CIP 2025-2029 - Adopted June 4, 2024 – Page 156.
DISCUSSION
The Request for Proposal (RFP) PW 26-21 for the Secondary Sedimentation Tank Mechanical Equipment Replacement Phase II Project specified an agreement term of two years, and the agreement was drafted to reflect this two-year term.
The agreement, with this defined term, was attached to the January 6, 2026, staff report. However, the associated staff report presented to City Council incorrectly identified the agreement term as five years in the "Recommendation" section of the staff report. This discrepancy was the result of an administrative oversight and does not reflect the intent of the RFP or the executed agreement. The Public Works Department is bringing this item forward to correct the record and clarify that the approved agreement term is two years, consistent with RFP PW 26-21 and agreement documents.
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
44 There is no fiscal impact for approval of this item. The City Council’s prior action on January 6, 2026, provided approval for the financial impact.
COMMITTEE OUTCOME

85 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
INFORMATION/CONSENT AGENDA
AGENDA ITEM NO. L.5
DATE: January 6, 2026
TO: City Council
FROM: Michael Wolfe, Public Works Director, (805) 385-8055, [email protected] SUBJECT: Agreement 32600264 with Carollo Engineers, Inc. for Construction Management services for the Secondary Sedimentation Tank Mechanical Equipment Replacement Phase II Project PW 26-21.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council approve and authorize the Mayor to execute an Agreement with Carollo Engineers, Inc. for an inital term of three years from January 6, 2026, to January 5, 2029, with an option to extend for two consecutive one-year period extensions ending January 5, 2031, for a total amount not to exceed $240,120.00 for construction management services for the Secondary Sedimentation Tank Mechanical Equipment Replacement Phase II Project PW 26-21. (This item did not originate in Committee as this is a capital improvement project specifically listed in the City's Capital Improvement Program budget, which was previously approved by the City Council.)
BACKGROUND
The City of Oxnard owns and operates a Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF) located at 6001 Perkins Road in Oxnard, California. The facility is a conventional secondary treatment, activated sludge plant, with a design capacity of
31.7 million gallons per day (MGD). The liquid stream processes at the WRRF include screening, grit removal and pumping, primary clarification, interstage pumping, trickling filters, activated sludge treatment, secondary settling, flow equalization, disinfection, and effluent pumping.
The WRRF contains 18 secondary sedimentation tanks (SSTs). Constructed in 1988 and identified in the 2017 Public Works Integrated Master Plan, the mechanical equipment for SST’s has exceeded its expected useful life of 25-30 years.
Due to redundancy in the system and the large amount of construction at the WRRF, the Secondary Sedimentation Tank Mechanical Equipment Replacement requires a phased approach. Phase I of the project was completed in February of 2025. Phase II of the project includes the replacement of mechanical equipment in tanks 7 through 10 of the 18 SST’s.
Subsequent projects will occur on an annual basis, allowing continued operation and avoiding failure of equipment across all of the SST’s over a period of time.
On October 21, 2025, the City Council approved Agreement 32600135 with GSE Construction Company, Inc. for Secondary Sedimentation Tank Mechanical Equipment Replacement (Phase II). Work under agreement 32600135 began in November 2025 and is estimated to continue into November 2026.
This Capital Improvement Project is large and complex enough that the services of a full-time, professional Construction Management (CM) firm is required. Since the construction project will be done while the wastewater plant stays in operation 24/7/365, a full-time CM presence is necessary and the current City staffing level does not afford that while keeping up with the other CIP workload. The role of the CM firm is to assist the City with the management of the contractor and project construction. Specifically, the CM will oversee the project schedule, budget and documentation; inspect all construction activities; work with the city and engineer-of-record to resolve construction issues; and manage the close-out of the project.

INFORMATION/CONSENT AGENDA
AGENDA ITEM NO. L.6
DATE: March 3, 2026
TO: City Council
FROM: Michael Wolfe, Public Works Director, (805) 385-8055, [email protected] SUBJECT: Adoption of Ordinance No. 3075 Cross-Connection Control and Backflow Prevention.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt Ordinance No. 3075 entitled "AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF OXNARD AMENDING ARTICLE IV OF CHAPTER 22 OF THE CITY CODE IN ITS ENTIRETY PERTAINING TO THE REGULATION OF CROSS-CONNECTION AND BACKFLOW STANDARDS." (This item did not originate in Committee as it is a continuation of an item previously approved by the City Council on February 3, 2026.)
BACKGROUND
On February 3, 2026, the City Council approved the first reading by title only of Ordinance No. 3075. The Ordinance will be effective 30 days after the adoption date by Council.
The following staff report is the same as written for the February 3, 2026 agenda item:
The State Water Resources Control Board (“SWRCB”) requires all potable water systems to follow the cross-connection protection mandates set forth in the Cross-Connection Control Policy Handbook. A cross-connection is an interconnection between a potable (aka drinking) water supply and a non-potable source via any connection or structural arrangement between a public water system (“PWS”) and any source or distribution system containing liquid, gas, or other substances not from an approved water supply. Bypass arrangements, jumper connections, removable sections, improperly installed swivel or change-over devices, and other temporary or permanent devices through which, or because of which, backflow can occur are considered to be cross-connections. Backflow is the undesired or unintended reversal of flow of water and/or other liquids, gases, or other substances into a PWS. It is industry standard to utilize backflow prevention assemblies to protect the potable water distribution systems. The assemblies prevent water that has been delivered to a customer through a water meter from re-entering the cityside of the water system, thus protecting the City’s system and other City water customers from contamination and pollution.
The purpose of the Cross-Connection Program is the protection of public health through the establishment of standards intended to ensure a PWS is protected against contamination or pollution by:
• Isolating the PWS from actual or potential cross-connections that may occur because of undiscovered or unauthorized connections;
• Eliminating existing connections between the PWS and other sources of water that are not approved as safe and potable for human consumption;
• Eliminating cross-connections between drinking water systems and other sources of water or process water used for any purpose whatsoever that jeopardize the safety of the PWS; • Preventing future cross-connections; and
89 • Protecting the PWS from plumbing defects or cross-connections that may endanger the drinking water supply.
On April 19, 1966, City Council adopted City Ordinance 1009, which established the City’s Cross-Connection Program.
Additionally, the intent of ordinance 1009 was to recognize varying degrees of hazard and to apply the principle that the degree of protection should be commensurate with the degree of hazard.
On July 13, 2004, City Council adopted Oxnard City Ordinance 2661 which amended the City code regarding contamination prevention and water security programs and established certain fees and charges for these programs.
On July 11, 2017, City Council adopted Oxnard City Ordinance 2921. This ordinance amended fees and penalties for failing to comply with the ordinance above.
DISCUSSION
The SWRCB previously regulated Cross-Connection Programs under the California Code of Regulations Title 17, amended to CCR Title 22 and pursuant with the Safe Water Drinking Act. The California Cross Connection Policy Handbook (“CCCPH”), adopted by the State December 19, 2023, and effective on July 1, 2024, is the primary enforcement and regulatory authority for cross-connection control and backflow prevention of public water systems.
With the most recent adoption of the CCCPH, there are regulatory changes and mandates that affect all Cross-Connection Control Programs. Most notably, the changes impacting the City of Oxnard’s current ordinance are:
• CCCPH 3.1.1 (a) ((1)) Operating Rules or Ordinances
o “The public water system’s legal authority to implement corrective actions due to noncompliance in one of the following ways:
▪ Deny or discontinue water service to a water user,
▪ Install, inspect field test, and/or maintain a backflow prevention assembly (BPA) at a water user’s premises, or
▪ Otherwise address in a timely manner a failure to comply with the CCCPH • CCCPH 3.1.1 ((2)) Cross-Connection Control Program Coordinator o For PWS with more than 3,000 service connections the Cross-Connection Control Program Coordinator must be a cross-connection control specialist.
• CCCPH 3.1.1.3 Hazard Assessments
o The Public Water System (PWS) must survey its service area and conduct hazard assessments per Article 2 of this Chapter (CCCPH 3) that identifies actual or potential cross-connection hazards, degree of hazard, and any backflow protection needed.
• CCCPH 3.1.1.3 (9) Public Outreach and Education
o The PWS must implement a cross-connection control public outreach program and education program element that includes educating staff, customers, and the community about backflow protection and cross-connection control. The PWS may implement this requirement through a variety of methods which may include providing information on cross-connection control and backflow in periodic water bill inserts, pamphlet distribution, new customer documentation, email, and consumer confidence reports.
In order to comply with the CCCPH, the City Attorney's Office and Water Division have developed an Ordinance that complies with the State’s regulatory standards. The City’s proposed Ordinance, which amends Article IV of Chapter 22 of the Oxnard City Code pertaining to the regulation of cross-connection and backflow standards, has been submitted to and reviewed by SWRCB.
A summary of the key changes from the existing Ordinance (2661) that was based on California Code of Regulations Title 17 to the proposed Ordinance, based on the CCCPH are:
• Previous ordinance 2661 relied on adopted California Department of Health Services (CDHS) rules and California Uniform Plumbing Code provisions by reference. New ordinance: Makes the Cross-Connection Control Policy Handbook (CCCPH) the core governing standard and states the most current CCCPH (as adopted/amended) must be used.
90 • Previous ordinance 2661 did not have formal, statewide-mandated elements for public outreach, incident response, local entity coordination to the extent in CCCPH • Previous ordinance 2661 required surveys of service connections and backflow protection, but the hazardassessment concept was less explicitly developed and did not include customer/owner must provide access within five (5) business days for a hazard assessment; failure can require air gap or reduced pressure principle backflow prevention assembly protection or termination until access is granted. • Previous ordinance 2661 required paper reports, per CCCPH guidelines this ordinance requires digital inspection and testing forms that must be uploaded to the Water Division Backflow Portal Without passage of this ordinance, the Water Division may face increased public health and safety risk and reduced program effectiveness. The SWRCB Division of Drinking Water’s Cross-Connection Control Policy Handbook (CCCPH) states that if a public water system fails to comply, enforcement may include compliance, enforcement, or other corrective actions. While the CCCPH does not specify a fine schedule, any monetary penalties would come from separate enforcement authority under California’s Safe Drinking Water Act—such as administrative penalties that may be assessed up to $1,000 per day per violation (Health & Safety Code § 116650) and related enforcement tools like compliance orders (Health & Safety Code § 116655).
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.
This agenda item supports Public Safety strategy. The purpose of the Public Safety strategy is to restore and modernize the delivery of public safety services to provide for the safety of our neighborhoods and health of our community.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no direct fiscal impact to approving this Ordinance. The proposed Ordinance, similar to the existing City Ordinance, includes fines and fees to ensure customer compliance and to support the costs associated with the Water Division’s Cross-Connection Program.

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
INFORMATION/CONSENT AGENDA
AGENDA ITEM NO. L.7
DATE: March 3, 2026
TO: City Council
FROM: Michael Wolfe, Public Works Director, (805) 385-8055, [email protected] SUBJECT: Public Project Agreement 32600321 with Paveco Construction, Inc. for Citywide Sidewalk Repairs Project, Specification No. PW 26-07.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council approve and authorize:
1. A total of $933,043.00 in Project funds for the Citywide Sidewalk Repairs Project, Specification No. PW 26-07;
2. The Mayor to execute an Agreement with Paveco Construction, Inc. in the amount of $717,725.00 for the Project and approve a Project contingency amount of $143,545.00 (20%) with Paveco Construction, Inc. for a total not to exceed value of $861,270.00 for the Project; and
3. A Project allocation amount of $71,773.00 (~10%) for engineering, inspection, survey and project management. (This item did not originate in Committee as this is a capital improvement project specifically listed in the City's Capital Improvement Program budget, which was previously approved by the City Council.)
BACKGROUND
The Citywide Sidewalk Repairs Project, Specification No. PW 26-07 is a Capital Improvement Program (CIP) project that will address deferred maintenance within the City’s pedestrian infrastructure. Through field inspections and public 311 requests, City staff has identified locations where sidewalks, curb and gutter, driveways, and curb ramps have deteriorated due to tree root or other damage, or that no longer meet current standards.
This was developed as a City-wide project, allowing the City to address multiple locations under a single contract. The Project scope consists of furnishing all necessary labor, materials, equipment, and other incidental and appurtenant work to remove and replace concrete sidewalks, curb and gutter, driveways, ADA curb ramps, and associated concrete improvements at various locations throughout the City. The work also includes minor asphalt pavement restoration, stormwater pollution prevention measures, and traffic control required to safely perform the work.
Capital Improvement Program (CIP) Reference:
Project No. C2564 – Citywide Sidewalk Repairs Project PW 26-07 - CIP 2025-2029 - Adopted June 4, 2024– Page 191.
DISCUSSION
The work associated with this project is tentatively scheduled to begin in April 2026 and continue into early July 2026 (100 working days), absent any supply chain delays, weather delays, or unforeseen site conditions. Staff and the contractor will coordinate with the various Neighborhood Councils to keep them informed of the schedule. Furthermore, staff will work closely with the neighborhoods and residents directly impacted by the work to keep them informed of the project timeline, unforeseen conditions and schedule milestones. Additionally, general project information will be disseminated on the City’s website and social media accounts to help keep the public informed. 114
The Notice Inviting Formal Bids (NIFB) for the Project was originally published on November 20, 2025, in the local newspaper VIDA. Additionally, the NIFB was posted on multiple online platforms, including the City’s website, Public Purchase, Dodge Network, Bid America, and distributed directly to 41 contractors who have registered with the City to be notified of Public Project bids within their license category. All bids were opened on January 6, 2026, and the City received the following:
BIDDER BASE BID ADDITIVE
ITEMS BID (sum
of 4 items)
TOTAL BID
PAVECO
CONSTRUCTION, INC.
$607,975.00 $109,750.00 $717,725.00
TORO ENTERPRISES $761,462.50 $123,237.50 $884,700.00

ONYX PAVING
COMPANY
$1,051,000.00 $183,000.00 $1,234,000.00
The base bid of the project includes the work items to furnish all labor, materials, equipment, and incidentals necessary to remove and replace concrete sidewalks, curb and gutter, driveways, ADA curb ramps, as well as perform associated concrete work, minor asphalt pavement restoration, storm water pollution prevention measures, and traffic control.
Additionally, the bid form requested pricing from bidders on additive items, which is work beyond the base bid items.
These are work items where, at the time of solicitation, the ability to perform them was uncertain given limited project funding, but that could be added at the time of award if, in fact, budget (i.e. the bid amount) allows. In this case, there were a total of four additive items for additional sidewalk replacement, driveway replacement, curb and gutter replacement, and associated work at supplemental locations identified in the bid documents.
Per the results summarized in the above table, the lowest bidder was Paveco Construction, Inc. (Paveco) and its bid is responsive to the City’s NIFB. Following this determination, procurement staff reviewed all documentation received from Paveco and its subcontractors. Procurement staff verified possession of required, currently valid licenses, reviewed the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) website for safety violations, and verified registration with the California Department of Industrial Relations (DIR). Based upon the available information and research performed to date, staff believes that the contractor is capable of satisfactorily completing the project. Thus, staff recommends that the City Council award the contract for this Project to Paveco.
The recommended construction contingency of 20%, rather than the typical 10%, reflects the higher level of uncertainty associated with existing site conditions for this project. While staff has assessed the visible existing conditions, past experience has shown that the full extent of deterioration oftentimes cannot be confirmed until construction has begun (e.g., removal of the existing sidewalk panels). Such unknowns include the extent of tree root intrusion, limits of older existing infrastructure, unforeseen impacts to existing irrigation systems, and subgrade conditions.
Staff recommends that Council award a contract to Paveco Construction, Inc., based on the total bid, including the base bid and all four additive items. The base bid amount from Paveco is $607,975 and the cumulative amount for all four additive bid items is $109,750. In addition to the project award amount of $717,725.00, Staff recommends authorizing $215,318.00 for the project, which includes $143,545.00 for project contingency (~20% of the contract cost) and $71,773.00 for the cost for engineering services and City staff (~10% of the contract cost). Engineering services include 115
the following activities during construction: engineering, inspection, survey and project management. These recommendations bring the total estimated cost of the project to $933,043.00.
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
The total cost for this Project is $933,043.00, which includes the construction agreement, contingency, and soft costs such as project management and materials testing. The Citywide Sidewalk Repairs Project C2564 has an available project budget balance of $1,000,000 from the General Fund (101).
The ongoing maintenance costs resulting from the completion of the Sidewalk Repairs Project will have no new increases to the Public Works operating budget. There are likely instances where the maintenance needs may be less when compared to that of the existing, deteriorated sidewalk infrastructure.
COMMITTEE OUTCOME
This item did not originate in Committee as this is a capital improvement project specifically listed in the City's Capital Improvement Program budget, which was previously approved by the City Council.

4. Contractor agrees that the Commercial General Liability and Business Automobile Liability Insurance policies shall be endorsed to name City, its City Council, officers, employees and volunteers as additional insureds as respects: liability arising out of activities performed by or on behalf of Contractor; products and completed operations of Contractor; premises owned, occupied or used by Contractor; or automobiles owned, leased, hired or borrowed by Contractor.

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

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
REPORTS
AGENDA ITEM NO. N.1
DATE: March 3, 2026
TO: City Council
FROM: Alexander Nguyen, City Manager, (805) 385-7430, [email protected] SUBJECT: Wooden Gateway Sweepstakes Program.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council authorize the Purchasing Agent to donate five (5) surplus wooden gateway signs in accordance with the Wooden Gateway Sweepstakes Program Guidelines. (This item did not originate in Committee.)
Please click the following link to view the required Measure M pre-recorded presentation video: https://youtu.be/3I2_SCIRa2g
BACKGROUND
Oxnard City Code Section 4-54 (Sale and Disposal of Unneeded Equipment and Property of the City) requires City Council authorization for the sale or disposal of surplus equipment with a market value exceeding $500 per item. The Ordinance requires the Purchasing Agent to prepare a list of such items for City Council authorization prior to the sale or disposal.
The wooden gateway signs were first installed in the 1980s, displaying the City's name and logo in a prominent entry point to the City. Between 2023 and 2025, the City Council approved new wayfinding and gateway signage throughout the City, which has been subsequently installed. As a result, the original wooden gateway signs have been removed.
Given the age and limited number of the signs, the current market value is unknown, therefore staff is requesting Council approval for this action. Images and approximate size and weight of the signs are included in Attachment #1.
This report recommends that the City Council authorize the Purchasing Agent to donate surplus wooden gateway signs that are no longer optimal or usable by the City of Oxnard via the Wooden Gateway Sweepstakes Program. This program serves the public purpose of having Oxnard's old wooden gateway signs displayed in publicly visible locations.
DISCUSSION
The City of Oxnard will host a sweepstakes to donate five (5) old wooden gateway signs to Oxnard based entities who can display the signs in a location with high visibility and is open or accessible to the public and who can maintain and care for the signs. Eligible applicants are invited to submit an entry by the program deadline to participate in the sweepstakes.
The raffle is open to businesses, organizations, or individuals located in the City of Oxnard who are at least 18 years of age at the time of entry, who meet the eligibility requirements, and who agree to the terms and conditions outlined in the Program Guidelines, as defined in Attachment #2.
The sweepstakes will accept entries beginning on Thursday, March 5th at 9:00 a.m., and ending on Thursday, March 26th 156
at 6:00 p.m. Winners will be selected randomly from all eligible entries received during the promotion period and will be selected by the Purchasing Manager utilizing the online program called "Wheel of Names Random Name Picker".
Winners will be announced during the City Council meeting on April 7, 2026. To enter the raffle, eligible participants must submit a completed entry form online at oxnard.gov/gatewaysweepstakes. The full program guidelines, terms, and conditions are available online and in Attachment #2.
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES

CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
REPORTS
AGENDA ITEM NO. N.2
DATE: March 3, 2026
TO: City Council
FROM: Brenda Lopez, Housing Director, (805) 385-8092, [email protected] SUBJECT: Exclusive Negotiation Agreement Between the City of Oxnard and Dynamic Real Estate Partners, LLC.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council authorize the Mayor to execute an Exclusive Negotiation Agreement with Dynamic Real Estate Partners, LLC (A-8611) regarding an undeveloped site (APN: 132-0-033-010) located between U.S. 101 and Riverpark Boulevard, West of the East Vineyard Avenue and Riverpark Boulevard intersection (Property). (This item did not originate in Committee.)
Please click the following link to view the required Measure M pre-recorded presentation video: https://youtu.be/mnJFXdymv80
BACKGROUND
On February 1, 2022, the City Council declared fifty-three (53) properties surplus, including an undeveloped 1.4-acre site designated as Assessor Parcel Number (APN) 132-0-033-010 (“Property”) located between U.S. 101 and Riverpark Boulevard, West of the East Vineyard Avenue and Riverpark Boulevard intersection.
After complying with the Surplus Land Act (SLA) process to offer the property to the preferred public and affordable housing buyers, a transaction did not materialize, primarily because of the property’s unique shape and non-residential zoning.
During the SLA process however, the City received two commercial development proposals. Council authorized staff to negotiate with one of the proposers. The proposal did not ultimately materialize into a transaction.
Since the City met all the requirements under the SLA process, it may now dispose of the Property as deemed appropriate.
On July 15, 2025, Housing Staff presented the option to offer the Property for sale for development to the City Council during Closed Session, and received authorization to negotiate price and terms of payment for the Property.
DISCUSSION
To facilitate the disposal of the Property, Housing Staff enlisted the services of Coldwell Banker Richard Ellis (CBRE) to conduct outreach and marketing efforts aimed at identifying a developer interested in the Property. The developer of the adjacent property, Dynamic Real Estate Partners LLC (“Dynamic”), expressed interest in potential acquisition and development of the Property.
Dynamic submitted a Letter of Intent to acquire and develop the Property for commercial use. Dynamic is a client-driven real estate development firm with the goal of creating success while benefitting the communities where it develops. 168
Dynamic has over fifty (50) years of experience in retail and multi-family development and a portfolio of over 1,500 projects comprising 7,500,000 square feet.
The proposed Exclusive Negotiation Agreement (ENA) with Dynamic provides a twelve (12) month negotiation period with the option to extend the agreement for an additional twelve (12) months. The ENA will provide for good faith negotiations with Dynamic to discuss and prepare a disposition agreement, with respect to the acquisition and development of the Property, to be considered for execution.
If the City Council approves the ENA, City Staff will enter into negotiations with Dynamic to determine the price and terms under which Dynamic may acquire the Property. The requested action only authorizes the City to negotiate with Dynamic; it does not approve a project for the Property. Final approval of a disposition agreement between Dynamic and the City is subject to City Council approval. Additionally, any proposed development is subject to the City's land use approval process.
As a separate item, staff intends to bring forward for consideration an amendment to the Riverpark Specific Plan (RPSP) that would replace the public facilities land use designation currently on the site with commercial: regional. The public facilities designation was placed on the site on July 20, 2009 through Amendment 8 to the RPSP to allow the Public Works Department to develop an administrative office and maintenance facility, which was never built. Prior to this 2009 amendment the site had been designated commercial: regional. Approval of the ENA would not presuppose any City Council action on the proposed specific plan amendment.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Entering into the ENA will not result in a direct or reasonably indirect potential change in the environment (CEQA Guidelines Section 15060(c)(2)). Before any development of the property that is subject to the ENA can occur, the City of Oxnard would have to agree to the sale of the property to Dynamic, and Dynamic would have to obtain the necessary entitlements for the development of the Site.
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
This agenda item supports the Economic Development strategy. The purpose of the Economic Development strategy is to focus on the retention and expansion of Oxnard businesses by increasing the skills and employability of our local workforce, inviting new business investments and targeting site-based redevelopment opportunities.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
There is no financial impact to the City associated with entering into the ENA. The ENA requires the Developer to provide a $5,000 deposit that becomes nonrefundable in 90 days. Positive financial impact would occur if the Property were sold pursuant to the disposition agreement that will be negotiated between the City and Dynamic Real Estate Partners, LLC.
COMMITTEE OUTCOME
This item did not originate in Committee because it is a continuation of an item previously considered by City Council in Closed Session on July 15, 2025.
