62 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
INFORMATION/CONSENT AGENDA
AGENDA ITEM NO. L.3
DATE: May 5, 2026
TO: City Council
FROM: Alexander Hamilton, Fire Chief, (805) 385-7700, [email protected] SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 3078 Updating Chapter 6-5 Disaster Council.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council adopt Ordinance No. 3078 titled:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF OXNARD, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING SECTION 6-5 OF CHAPTER 6 OF
THE OXNARD CITY CODE RELATING TO THE DISASTER COUNCIL
(The Community Services, Public Safety, Housing & Development Committee approved 2-0 on March 24, 2026. The City Council approved the introduction of the Ordinance at the April 7, 2026 City Council meeting by a 6-0 vote.)
BACKGROUND
The ordinance language for the City of Oxnard’s Disaster Council was originally adopted under earlier civil defense and emergency management frameworks from the 1950s through the 1970s. Since that time, the City has completed extensive updates to its Emergency Operations Plan (EOP), which has established a modern approach to emergency preparedness, response and recovery, and aligns with today’s state and federal guidelines.
The proposed ordinance amendment updates Chapter 6 of the City Code related to Oxnard’s emergency planning, preparedness and response efforts, with a focus on clarifying and modernizing the Disaster Council provisions. These updates are intended to ensure the City’s emergency response and recovery structure aligns with current operational practices, the City’s Emergency Operations Plan (EOP), and applicable state emergency management requirements.
DISCUSSION
California’s Disaster Council system originated in response to wartime threats facing the West Coast following the attack on Pearl Harbor. It later evolved to include natural disasters and other emergencies through the California Emergency Services Act (CESA), a state law enacted in 1970 that establishes the legal framework for emergency management and disaster response in California.
Oxnard joined approximately 85 California cities and counties when the state accredited its Disaster Council on July 7, 1950. The majority of cities gained accreditation by the mid-1950s, and later accreditations were issued as newer cities were incorporated. Over the years, many cities and counties have used the State’s template language to create their emergency ordinance and Disaster Council. With the update and modernization of Oxnard’s Emergency Operations Plan, staff recommends updating its disaster council language to align with the City’s current emergency management structure.
A Disaster Council serves as an advisory body that focuses on developing, reviewing, and implementing emergency plans approved by the City Council. The City’s Emergency Manager spends a significant amount of time spearheading the various projects that support Oxnard’s response to an emergency, including maintaining and updating its Emergency 63 Operations Plan, Local Hazard Mitigation Plan, and ensuring adherence to new state and federal mandates related to disaster preparedness, response and recovery. The updated ordinance language reflects the role that public safety officials and various department heads and emergency response personnel play in reviewing and updating plans and processes that ensure effective coordination before, during, and after emergencies.
The revised ordinance language clarifies Disaster Council membership to include key leadership and coordination roles identified in the City’s EOP, including designated section coordinators such as Operations, Planning and Intelligence, Logistics, and Finance and Administration. This structure ensures consistency between policy-level oversight and operational response.
The proposed update removes the annual meeting mandate and replaces it with language that authorizes the Disaster Council to meet upon call of the Chair or Vice Chair, consistent with best practices used by peer jurisdictions. This approach provides flexibility to convene the Disaster Council when coordination, planning review, or emergency-related matters require attention, rather than on a predetermined schedule that may not align with operational needs.
The revised language also clarifies the Disaster Council’s authority to develop and recommend to the City Council for adoption emergency response plans, mutual aid plans, and the rules, regulations, and agreements necessary to implement those plans. This structure ensures that emergency planning remains responsive, timely, and coordinated, while maintaining City Council oversight and approval authority.
These updates do not expand emergency powers or reduce transparency. Instead, they align governance language with how emergency preparedness and coordination are effectively managed in comparable cities and ensure the Disaster Council can be convened when it adds the greatest value.
The City Council approved the introduction of the Ordinance at the April 7, 2026 City Council meeting by a 6-0 vote.
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
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
The proposed ordinance amendment has no fiscal impact. The changes formalize existing emergency management practices and do not require additional staffing, resources, or operational expenditures.
COMMITTEE OUTCOME
The Community Services, Public Safety, Housing & Development Committee approved 2-0 on March 24, 2026 to approve the staff recommendation and to forward the item for Council approval.

67 CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
INFORMATION/CONSENT AGENDA
AGENDA ITEM NO. L.4
DATE: May 5, 2026
TO: Parking Authority
FROM: Brenda Lopez, Housing Director, (805) 385-8092, [email protected] SUBJECT: Exclusive Negotiation Agreement Between the Parking Authority of the City of Oxnard and JB Jonesboro, LLC.
RECOMMENDATION
That the Board of the Parking Authority authorize the Chairperson to execute an Exclusive Negotiation Agreement with JB Jonesboro, LLC (A-8613) regarding the Parking Authority-owned parcels between West 5th and West 6th Streets and South B and South C Streets, APNs: 202-0-103-025, 202-0-103-185, 202-0-103-145, and 202-0-103-205. (This item did not originate in Committee.)
BACKGROUND
On April 21, 2026, staff introduced the Exclusive Negotiation Agreement with JB Jonesboro, LLC for the development of the City-owned parcels between West 5th and West 6th Streets and South B and South C Streets: 318 West Fifth St. (APN 202-0-103-210), 321 West Sixth St. (202-0-103-130), and APNs 202-0-103-115, 202-0-103-175, 202-0-103-225, 202-0-103-235 and the Parking Authority-owned parcels between West 5th and West 6th Streets and South B and South C Streets, APNs: 202-0-103-025, 202-0-103-185, 202-0-103-145, and 202-0-103-205. Collectively, the 10 parcels are referred to as the “Properties.” The City Council approved the recommended action.
Because the April 21, 2026 Council Agenda did not notice the meeting for the Parking Authority, staff did not move forward with action on the Parking Authority–owned parcels. Instead, staff proposed returning to the Parking Authority Board on May 5, 2026, to consider those parcels.
DISCUSSION
On March 17, 2026, JB Jonesboro, LLC (“Developer”) provided a letter of interest to acquire the Properties from the City and the Parking Authority. The Developer wishes to pursue the development of the Properties as high-quality mixed-use projects including residential and commercial components that would contribute to revitalization of downtown Oxnard, expand the tax base, and align with the City’s adopted plans and policies.
The Developer currently owns the property in the northeast corner of the South Plaza block (300 West Fifth Street) and is in escrow to acquire the properties in the northwest (344 South C Street) and southwest (560 South C Street) corners. The Developer is a limited liability corporation managed by Spinridge, a Southern California based commercial real estate owner. Spinridge manages a portfolio of 44 properties comprising 260,000 square feet. To develop South Plaza, Spinridge will partner with Bayspring, a client-driven real estate development firm with the goal of creating successful residential mixed-use properties. Bayspring principals have successfully developed over $8 Billion in residential mixed-use projects across California.
The proposed Exclusive Negotiation Agreement (ENA) provides a 12-month negotiation period with the option to extend the negotiations twice, each for six (6) months. If the Board approves the ENA, staff will negotiate with the Developer to 68 prepare a Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) with respect to the acquisition and development of the Properties for consideration by the City Council and the Board.
Final approval of the DDA would be subject to City Council and Board approval. The DDA would require the property to revert back to the City if the Developer does not develop the property in a timely manner and pursuant to the terms of the DDA.
The requested action only authorizes staff to negotiate with the Developer; it does not approve a project for the Properties.
The City would retain its approval authority ensuring the development furthers the vision for Downtown.
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 Council and the Board would have to agree to the sale of the property and the Developer would have to obtain the necessary entitlements for the development of the Site.
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
This agenda item supports Economic Development strategy. The purpose of Economic Development strategy is to focus on the retention and expansion of Oxnard businesses by increasing the skills and employability of our local workforce, invite new business investments, and target site-based redevelopment opportunities.
This agenda item supports the Quality of Life strategy. The purpose of the Quality of Life strategy is to restore and increase quality services and programs that enrich Oxnard's diverse community, promotes safe neighborhoods, encourages community engagement, and supports our residents in their efforts to improve their quality of life.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The ENA requires the Developer to provide a $5,000 deposit that becomes nonrefundable in 90 days.
COMMITTEE OUTCOME
This item did not originate in Committee because it is a continuation of an item previously considered by the Board of the Parking Authority in Closed Session on April 7, 2026.

1. Attachment 1 - Exclusive Negotiating Agreement A-8613 and Site Map
2. Attachment 2- 04.21.26 Staff Report without attachments 69 A-8613
EXCLUSIVE NEGOTIATION AGREEMENT
This Exclusive Negotiation Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into in the County of Ventura, State of California, effective this _____ day of May 2026 (the “Effective Date”), by and between the City of Oxnard, a California municipal corporation (“City”), the Parking Authority of the City of Oxnard, a body corporate and politic (“Parking Authority”) and JB Jonesboro, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Developer”). The City, the Parking Authority, and the Developer, collectively, shall be referred to as the “Parties.” A. The City and the Parking Authority are the owners of specific parcels located in downtown Oxnard that are generally described in Exhibit A, which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, collectively referred to as the “Properties”. Of the ten total parcels constituting the Properties, the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) has provided a letter confirming that for eight of the parcels all requirements of the Surplus Land Act (Government Code sections 54220 et seq.) have been met for purposes of disposing of the surplus land. On April 21, 2026, the City Council of the City of Oxnard, following the required notice of surplus, declared the two remaining parcels surplus to the City's needs and adopted a resolution pursuant to Section 54221(f)(1)(b) of the Government Code of California, supported by written findings, determining that the two parcels (APNs 202- 0-103-175 and 202-0-103-235) qualify as exempt surplus land and are therefore exempt from the standard Surplus Land Act disposition procedures. Following these determinations, the City and the Parking Authority now wish to grant the Developer an exclusive period to negotiate the potential acquisition and development of the Properties.
B. The Developer wishes to pursue the development of the Properties as high-quality mixed-use projects including residential and commercial components that would contribute to revitalization of downtown Oxnard, expand the tax base, and align with the City’s adopted plans and policies.
C. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the City and the Parking Authority wish to grant an exclusive period of time for the Developer to consider the development of the Properties and to negotiate necessary agreements with the City and the Parking Authority for the acquisition and subsequent development of the Properties.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals, which are hereby incorporated into the operative provisions of this Agreement by this reference and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, the City, the Parking Authority and Developer agree as follows:
1. Exclusive Negotiation Regarding the Properties
70 A-8613
a. The Parties agree to negotiate in good faith for a period beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending twelve (12) months thereafter (subject to two possible extensions as provided in Section 2 below), hereafter, the “Negotiation Period,” regarding the Developer’s acquisition and development of the Property for a residential/commercial mixed-use development in downtown Oxnard. The parties agree that the objective of their negotiations is to discuss and prepare a disposition agreement to be considered for execution between the Parties, in the manner set forth herein, with respect to the acquisition and development of the Properties.
The negotiations may include discussions concerning the residential and commercial components and potential commercial tenants of the proposed development, the terms of a Disposition and Development Agreement (“DDA”), and the project entitlement process. The Parties shall negotiate in good faith to achieve the following milestones: (i) a term sheet for the DDA within sixty (60) days after the Effective Date; (ii) a draft DDA within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Effective Date; and (iii) a final form of DDA prior to expiration of the Negotiation Period. For avoidance of doubt, the milestones listed herein are ideal goals for the Parties to achieve, rather than mandatory milestones. With this Agreement, the City and/or the Parking Authority do not make any commitments regarding:
i. Ability or desire to enter into any agreement regarding the Developer’s possible acquisition and development of the Property; or ii. Whether the City or the Parking Authority will make the finding necessary for the disposition of publicly owned property. b. During the Negotiation Period, the Developer may complete certain predevelopment studies and activities related to the development of the Property, which predevelopment studies and activities shall include (but are not limited to) the following:

ii. Prepare and submit a Pre-Development Advisory Committee (Pre-DAC) application to the City for consideration of the proposed development; iii. Prepare a site plan, renderings and designs for the project proposed to be constructed on the Properties;
71 A-8613
iv. Pursue acquisition of the abutting privately owned property if the Developer wishes to incorporate such property into the development of the Properties; and v. Negotiate with the City and the Parking Authority for the acquisition of the Properties and preparation of necessary disposition documents.
vi. Explore with the City and the Parking Authority the potential acquisition of other parcels through what would be a separate negotiation and ENA. Negotiations will include defining certain milestones related to the Properties (e.g., submitting Pre-DAC) as predecessors to commencing that separate negotiation and ENA. c. Nothing herein is intended to prohibit the City and the Parking Authority from furnishing any information concerning the Properties which they may be required by law to furnish or which they would otherwise normally furnish to persons requesting information concerning the City’s and Parking Authority’s activities, goals, and matters of a similar nature. d. The City and Parking Authority agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Developer shall be and hereby is granted an exclusive role as "developer" for the Properties for the purposes described herein for the Negotiation Period. In furtherance of the foregoing, during the term of this Agreement, the City and Parking Authority agree not to, directly or indirectly:
i. Engage another person or entity as "developer" (or any similar role) or to cause or allow any such engagement with respect to the Properties for the purposes described herein.
ii. Solicit, initiate, or encourage proposals or offers from any third party relating to the disposition, development, or use of the Properties; iii. Enter into, continue, or participate in any discussions or negotiations with any third party regarding the foregoing; or
iv. Provide any non-public information regarding the Properties to any third party for such purposes.
e. The City and Parking Authority shall promptly cease any existing discussions or negotiations with third parties concerning the Properties as of the Effective Date. f.

72 A-8613
2. Extension of Agreement. Developer shall have the right to extend the Negotiation Period for up to two (2) additional six (6) month periods upon written approval from the City Manager and Executive Director of the Parking Authority, provided Developer is actively pursuing the activities described herein. The City and Parking Authority shall not unreasonably withhold, condition, or delay agreement to such extension. Any such extensions executed by the City Manager and the Executive Director of the Parking Authority do not require further approval from the City Council or the Board of the Parking Authority.
3. Independent Consideration. The Developer shall make a good-faith deposit of $5,000, applicable to City staff time related to this ENA. The City and the Parking Authority agree and acknowledge this is good and sufficient consideration for the Developer’s right to terminate this Agreement at any time for any reason or no reason. It is the express intent of the Parties hereto that this Agreement shall not be void or voidable for lack of mutuality.
4. Limitation on Remedies for Breach or Default and Release of Claims a. The Parties would not have agreed to any part of this Agreement if they and/or their respective officers, officials, employees, and agents were collectively or separately liable to the other for any amount of monetary damages or other remedies. Accordingly, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the other party’s exclusive rights and remedies upon any breach or default as set forth in this Agreement is to terminate this Agreement. The Parties each acknowledge that it is aware of the meaning and legal effect of California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides:
“A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party." b. Civil Code Section 1542 notwithstanding, it is the Parties’ intentions to be bound by the limitation on remedies set forth in this Section, and the Parties hereby release any and all claims against the others and their respective officers, officials, employees, and agents for monetary damages or other legal or equitable relief with respect to a breach of this Agreement, whether or not such released claims were known or unknown to such party as of its entry into this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the 1542 waiver described in this section shall not apply to claims arising from fraud, willful misconduct, or breach of the exclusivity obligations set forth herein. Except as expressly provided above, neither party shall be liable for consequential or punitive damages. The Parties hereby waive the benefits of Civil Code Section 1542 and all other statutes and judicial decisions (whether state or federal) of similar effect. 73 A-8613
5. Notices, Demands, and Communications between the Parties. Formal notices, demands, and communications between the City, the Parking Authority, and the Developer shall be sufficiently given if dispatched by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, and overnight mail service (with signature for delivery required), by electronic delivery, or by courier not affiliated with the sender at the cost of the sending party with written evidence of receipt, to the principal offices of the City, the Parking Authority, or the Developer as designated below.

DATE: April 21, 2026
TO: City Council
FROM: Brenda Lopez, Housing Director, (805) 385-8092, [email protected] SUBJECT: Exclusive Negotiation Agreement Between the City of Oxnard, the Parking Authority of the City of Oxnard, and JB Jonesboro, LLC
RECOMMENDATION
1. That the City Council authorize the Mayor to execute an Exclusive Negotiation Agreement with JB Jonesboro, LLC regarding the City-owned parcels between West 5th and West 6th Streets and South B and South C Streets: 318 West Fifth St. (APN 202-0-103-210), 321 West Sixth St. (202-0-103-130), and APNs 202-0-103-115, 202-0-103-175, 202- 0-103-225, 202-0-103-235; and

BACKGROUND
Over a number of years, the former Community Development Commission (CDC) purchased properties in downtown Oxnard for revitalization purposes. Due to the severe economic downturn that occurred in 2008, redevelopment in downtown came to a halt. Then on February 1, 2012, a state law dissolving redevelopment agencies in California became effective, further delaying redevelopment in downtown.
On February 1, 2022, the City Council and the Board of the Parking Authority (“Board”) declared 53 parcels of land surplus, including: 318 West Fifth St. Assessor Parcel Number (APN) 202-0-103-210, 321 West Sixth St. (APN 202-0- 103-130), and APNs 202-0-103-115, 202-0-103-025, 202-0-103-185, 202-0-103-225, 202-0-103-235, 202-0-103-145, and 202-0-103-205 located between West 5th and West 6th Streets and South B and South C Streets, and referred to as “South Plaza.”
On May 10, 2022, a Notice of Availability allowing a 60-day period to respond with interest in the parcels was sent to the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD), all local public entities, and to housing sponsors that had notified HCD of interest in acquiring surplus land to develop as affordable housing. No interest in South Plaza was received.
On March 10, 2023, HCD provided a letter determining all requirements of the Surplus Land Act had been met and the City and the Parking Authority were permitted to proceed with the sale of the properties on the open market with the condition that any development, including ten or more residential units, provide 15-percent of the units at affordable rents or sales price.
83 On April 21, 2026, the City staff is recommending that the City Council declare the two remaining City-owned parcels in the South Plaza block surplus to the City's needs and adopted a resolution pursuant to Section 54221(f)(1)(b) of the Government Code of California, supported by written findings, determining that the two parcels (APNs 202-0-103-175 and 202-0-103-235) qualify as exempt surplus land and are therefore exempt from the standard Surplus Land Act disposition procedures. Collectively, the 10 parcels are referred to as the “Properties.” If the City Council makes such a declaration, the City Council can proceed with the action described in this report.
DISCUSSION
On March 17, 2026, JB Jonesboro, LLC (“Developer”) provided a letter of interest to acquire the Properties from the City and the Parking Authority. The Developer wishes to pursue the development of the Properties as high-quality mixed-use projects, including residential and commercial components that would contribute to revitalization of downtown Oxnard, expand the tax base, and align with the City’s adopted plans and policies.
The Developer currently owns the property in the northeast corner of the South Plaza block (300 West Fifth Street) and is in escrow to acquire the properties in the northwest (344 South C Street) and southwest (560 South C Street) corners. The Developer is a limited liability corporation managed by Spinridge, a Southern California-based commercial real estate owner. Spinridge manages a portfolio of 44 properties comprising 260,000 square feet. To develop South Plaza, Spinridge will partner with Bayspring, a client-driven real estate development firm with the goal of creating successful residential mixed-use properties. Bayspring principals have successfully developed over $8 Billion in residential mixed-use projects across California.
The proposed Exclusive Negotiation Agreement (ENA) provides a 12-month negotiation period with the option to extend the negotiations twice, each for six (6) months. If the City Council and the Board approve the ENA, staff will negotiate with the Developer to prepare a Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) with respect to the acquisition and development of the Properties for consideration by the City Council and the Board.
Final approval of the DDA would be subject to City Council and Board approval. The DDA would require the property to revert back to the City if the Developer does not develop the property in a timely manner and pursuant to the terms of the DDA.
The requested action only authorizes staff to negotiate with the Developer; it does not approve a project for the Properties.
The City would retain its approval authority, ensuring the development furthers the vision for Downtown.
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 Council and the Board would have to agree to the sale of the property and the Developer would have to obtain the necessary entitlements for the development of the Site.
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
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.
The purpose of the Quality-of-Life strategy is to restore and increase quality services and programs that enrich the City’s diverse community, promote safe neighborhoods, encourage community engagement, and support our residents in their efforts to improve their quality of life.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The ENA requires the Developer to provide a $5,000 deposit that becomes nonrefundable in 90 days.

DATE: May 5, 2026
TO: City Council
FROM: Brenda Lopez, Housing Director, (805) 385-8092, [email protected] SUBJECT: FY 2026-27 Annual Action Plan and Citizen Participation Plan.
RECOMMENDATION
That the City Council:
1. Conduct a public hearing to receive comments, to incorporate any recommended changes, and approve the FY 2026-27 Annual Action Plan (AAP) and the Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) to be submitted to the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD);
2. Authorize the City Manager, or their designee, to incorporate the final grant allocations and approve the corresponding budget appropriations and corresponding revenue recognition (not subject to the $220,000 CPP limit) and to make any future budgetary adjustments up to $220,000; and

Please click the following link to view the required Measure M pre-recorded presentation video: https://youtu.be/pJjlKOqNVT4
BACKGROUND
The City of Oxnard receives three entitlement grants from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) on an annual basis:
1. Community Development Block Grant Program (CDBG)
Supports low- and moderate-income persons by providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanding economic opportunities. Eligible activities include: public services (youth services, senior services, homeless services) and public improvements/other activities (park improvements, alley and street improvements, facility improvements, homeownership assistance, housing rehabilitation, and economic development), that benefit low- and moderate-income persons.
2. Emergency Solutions Grant Program (ESG)
Supports moving homeless persons into stable housing with supportive services, with the goal of self-sufficiency.
Eligible activities include: street outreach, emergency shelter operations, rental assistance and supportive services.
3. HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME)
Supports low-income persons with expanded housing opportunities. Eligible activities include: the development of rental housing, renter and homeowner rehabilitation, homebuyer programs, and tenant-based rental assistance.
To receive the three entitlement grants, the City must submit and obtain approval of both a 5-Year Consolidated Plan, which was most recently adopted on May 6, 2025, and an Annual Action Plan (AAP). The FY 2026-27 AAP must be 86 approved by the City Council and submitted to HUD by May 15, 2026.
DISCUSSION
Each year in preparation for submitting the AAP to HUD for approval, the City issues a Notice of Funds Available to solicit proposals from community organizations and City departments for utilizing the coming fiscal year CDBG, ESG, and HOME federal grant funding. The Housing Department receives and evaluates applications, and provides a funding recommendation to the City Council.
Citizen Participation Plan
The Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) ensures public participation in the development of the AAP. The updated CPP covers the period of July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2030 and has been developed to reflect current HUD guidance, including requirements related to timeliness, and will guide the City’s implementation of the 5-Year Consolidated Plan and AAP. The plan also provides a clear framework for meaningful public participation consistent with federal requirements (24 CFR 91.105).
The CPP has been revised to remove references to the COVID-19 national emergency, as these provisions are no longer applicable. Additionally, the revised CPP incorporates provisions for the future use of “backup” projects in the AAP, which allows the City Council to pre-approve backup projects that may be implemented during the fiscal year if funds become available, thereby eliminating the need to return for approval through a substantial amendment.
A copy of the CPP is attached to this report (Attachment 3).
FY 2026-27 AAP Funding Recommendations and Applications HUD has not yet published the City’s final grant allocations for FY 2026-27. The AAP and program funding for each entitlement grant has been prepared using the FY 2025-26 grant amounts as a baseline.When final allocations are released, all subawards and program allocations will be increased or reduced to reflect actual funding received. If a higher than anticipated amount is received, consideration will be given to those projects that can expeditiously spend CDBG funding during the current fiscal year.
Applications were accepted January 12, 2026 through February 12, 2026. To be eligible, applicants were required to attend a mandatory workshop covering the application process and applicable federal regulations. A total of 22 applications were received, with 10 recommended for funding.
Applications were evaluated using several criteria, with primary emphasis on the applicant’s experience administering CDBG and ESG funds and their demonstrated ability to expend funds quickly and efficiently, consistent with program requirements. Funding recommendations are based on highest-ranked applications that are structured to ensure compliance with all applicable program regulations while remaining within available funding limits.
Evaluation Criteria
The following evaluation criteria were used to independently evaluate and rank the applications received:
• Demonstrated experience, capacity, and qualifications to effectively administer funds • Proven ability to expend funds in a timely manner and deliver services without delays • Clear, comprehensive, and well-structured program proposal • Strong, measurable outcomes with a demonstrated ability to achieve them • For CDBG programs, a clearly defined target population that aligns with a CDBG National Objective • For ESG programs, a clearly defined homeless population to be served, with an effective outreach and engagement strategy
• Well-supported and justified budget request
A copy of the Funding Recommendations and Applications is attached to this report (Attachment 1). A copy of the Draft FY 2026-27 AAP is attached to this report (Attachment 2). 87 CDBG
The City is expected to receive approximately $2,074,781 in CDBG funding. Of this amount, $414,956.20 will be allocated for program administration. Public services activities are subject to a 15% cap, limiting their funding to $311,217.15. The remaining balance of $1,348,607.65, combined with $445,685.51 in carryover funds from prior years, results in a total of $1,794,293.16 available for Public Improvements and Other Programs.
Public Service Applications
Thirteen applications were received totaling $1,266,883, compared to $311,217.15 available. Five applications are recommended for funding:
Public Service Provider Program Name FY 26-27
Recommendation
Oxnard Cultural & Community Services
Department
Palm Vista Senior Center $45,000
Oxnard Cultural & Community Services
Department
Recreation Youth Services (Oxnard PAL,
Southwinds Youth Center, and Colonia Gym)
$146,000
Oxnard Housing Authority Senior Supportive Services $50,000 Shelter Care Resources Foundation First Basic Needs Assistance $35,000 Boys & Girls Club of Greater Oxnard and
Port Hueneme
Squires Housing Unit Club $35,000
Total $311,000*
*Remaining balance of $217.15 added to CDBG Public Improvement and Other Program allocation.
Turning Point Foundation submitted a CDBG application ($78,073), however, the organization also submitted an application for ESG funding ($81,237). As both applications requested funding for emergency shelter operations, the recommendation is to solely fund the service provider’s ESG application.
CDBG Public Improvement and Other Program Applications
Six applications were received totaling $2,390,400 compared to $1,794,510.31 available. Four applications are recommended for funding:
Public Improvement and Other Programs
Provider
Program Name FY 26-27
Recommendation
Habitat for Humanity of Ventura County Home Repair Program $100,000 Oxnard Housing Authority D Street Apartments Rehabilitation $320,000 Oxnard Public Works Department Hobson Park East Neighborhood Street Resurfacing and ADA Improvements
$24,510.31
Oxnard Public Works Department Cal Gisler Neighborhood Street Resurfacing and ADA Improvements**
$1,350,000
88 Total $1,794,510.31
**The Cal-Gisler Neighborhood Street Resurfacing and ADA Improvement Project was originally awarded $1,000,000 in the FY 2025–26 AAP; however, on March 17, 2026, the City Council approved reallocating $900,000 to the La Colonia project to address a funding gap and expedite expenditures for a shovel-ready project to meet CDBG timeliness requirements. It was described in that report that the $900,000 would be recommended for restoration to the Cal-Gisler Project with FY 2026–27 CDBG funds. The additional $450,000 recommended reflects a new funding request from Public Works to further address the project’s funding needs.
ESG Applications
The City is expected to receive approximately $184,400 in ESG funding. Of this amount, $13,830 will be allocated for program administration. Street outreach and emergency shelter operations activities are subject to a 60% cap, limiting their funding to $110,640. The remaining balance of $59,930 is available for homeless prevention and rapid re-housing activities.
Three applications were received totaling $183,967, compared to $170,570 available. Mercy House Living Centers submitted an application; however, because the organization has an existing FY 2025–26 award with remaining funds, the recommendation is to extend the current agreement for one year to allow those funds to be expended in lieu of awarding new/additional funding. Of the remaining two applications, only one is recommended for funding:
ESG Program Provider Program Name FY 26-27
Recommendation
Turning Point Foundation Our Place Safe Haven: Emergency Shelter $110,640 Total $110,640***
***Turning Point Foundation submitted a CDBG application ($78,073) and an ESG application ($81,237) totaling $159,310. This recommendation includes the $81,237 in ESG funding requested and a partial award of $29,403 of the original amount requested in CDBG.
The recommendation results in unallocated funds of $59,930 which will be programmed to an eligible activity at a future date through a second round of funding for homeless prevention and/or rapid rehousing.
HOME
The City is expected to receive approximately $599,010.76 in HOME funding. Of this amount, $59,901.08 will be allocated for program administration. The remaining balance of $539,109.68 combined with $1,446,538.38 in carryover funds from prior years, results in a total of $1,985,648.06 available for future affordable housing developments.
The City did not solicit applications for HOME funding. These funds are typically reserved to address financing gaps in the development of affordable housing projects. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year allowing the City to respond to funding opportunities as they arise.
Public Hearings
Staff conducted the first of two required public hearings on January 15, 2026, to solicit community input on housing, community development, and homelessness needs. The second public hearing is scheduled for the City Council meeting on May 5, 2026. In addition to these meetings, the FY 2026-27 AAP and CPP were made available to the public for a 30- day review period from April 4, 2026 through May 5, 2026.
The drafts of the AAP and the CPP are available electronically on the Grants Management website.
STRATEGIC PRIORITIES
89 This agenda item supports the Quality of Life strategy. The purpose of the Quality of Life strategy is to restore and increase quality services and programs that enrich Oxnard's diverse community, promote safe neighborhoods, encourage community engagement, and support our residents in their efforts to improve their quality of life.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Funding Recommendations identified in this staff report represent new funding allocations that will be incorporated into the FY 2026-27 recommended budget. The FY 2026-27 AAP (Plan) outlines how the City proposes to allocate its entitlement grant programs for the upcoming fiscal year.

Introduction
The City of Oxnard adopted the Ventura County Regional Consolidated Plan (“Regional ConPlan”) for the 2025–2029 period in May 2025. The Regional ConPlan was developed collaboratively by the County of Ventura and the cities of Camarillo, Fillmore, Moorpark, Ojai, City of Oxnard, Port Hueneme, Santa Paula, San Buenaventura, Simi Valley, and Thousand Oaks.
The Regional ConPlan provides a framework for participating jurisdictions, including Oxnard, to assess affordable housing and community development needs and evaluate local market conditions in order to make data-driven, place-based investment decisions. The consolidated planning process also supports a community-wide dialogue to identify housing and community development priorities and to align funding from the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) programs. These programs aim to assist low- and moderate-income persons, provide decent housing, create suitable living environments, and expand economic opportunities.
The Regional ConPlan establishes broad five-year objectives and strategies to achieve these goals.
Specific benchmarks for measuring progress toward the City’s strategies are identified in the Fiscal Year 2026–27 Annual Action Plan (“AAP”).
The FY 2026–27 AAP covers the period from July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 and serves as Oxnard’s application for funding under three HUD entitlement programs: CDBG, HOME, and ESG. Estimated current-year entitlements, combined with reallocations and repayments from prior years, bring the total funding available for Program Year 2026–27 to just over $4.75 million.
This Annual Action Plan describes the resources, programs, activities, and actions the City will undertake during FY 2026–27 to implement the goals and objectives of the Regional ConPlan, as summarized in Table 1 on the following page.

Summarize the Objectives and Outcomes Identified in the Plan The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”) has established three predetermined objectives and outcomes designed to capture the range of community impacts that occur as a result of CDBG, HOME, and ESG-funded programs. Each activity or program funded under these programs must fall under one of three objectives and one of three outcomes. The framework of selecting these objectives and outcomes is known as HUD’s CPD Outcome Performance Measurement System. Here are the objectives and outcomes to choose from:
Objectives
● Creating Suitable Living Environments relates to activities that are designed to benefit communities, families, or individuals by addressing issues in their living environment, from physical problems with their environment to social issues. ● Providing Decent Housing covers the wide range of housing activities where the purpose is to meet individual family or community housing needs. ● Creating Economic Opportunities applies to activities related to economic development, commercial revitalization, or job creation.
Outcomes
● Availability/Accessibility applies to activities that make services, infrastructure, public services, public facilities, housing, or shelter available or accessible to low- and moderateincome people, including persons with disabilities. ● Affordability applies to activities that provide affordability in a variety of ways to lowand moderate-income people and is appropriate to use whenever an activity is lowering the 98 Annual Action Plan
2026 Draft
5 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
cost, improving the quality, or increasing the affordability of a product or service to benefit a low-income household.
● Sustainability applies to activities that are aimed at improving communities or neighborhoods, helping to make them livable or viable by providing benefit to persons of low- and moderate-income or by removing or eliminating slums or blighted areas, through multiple activities or services that sustain communities or neighborhoods.
The Regional ConPlan Needs Assessment was developed by reviewing Census statistical data and building upon already adopted planning documents, coupled with consultation with housing, homeless and service providers, City Departments, and the public via community meetings, public hearings, and a Community Needs Assessment Survey. The result was the formation of eleven areas of priority need, including:
1. Development of New Affordable Housing – There is an acute need throughout Ventura County for additional affordable housing for low- and moderate-income households.
Demand has increased significantly over the past five years as vacancy rates remain low and market rents continue to outpace wage growth. A household earning minimum wage would need more than 3.5 minimum-wage incomes to afford a market-rate two-bedroom apartment without becoming cost burdened.
2. Housing Rehabilitation – There is a continued need to maintain safe and quality housing stock, particularly for low- and moderate-income households. Housing rehabilitation programs help preserve and improve the existing affordable housing supply throughout the region.
3. Housing Services – Provide financial and non-financial support to assist first-time homebuyers and families with children in accessing homeownership opportunities.
Services may include down payment and closing cost assistance, homebuyer education and counseling, and subsidized property inspections.
4. Housing Stability – Provide short- and medium-term rental assistance through tenantbased rental assistance and diversion programs for extremely low-income and low-income households that are at risk of homelessness.
5. Homelessness Assistance – In collaboration with the Ventura County Continuum of Care, provide comprehensive services for individuals and families experiencing or at risk of homelessness, including rapid rehousing, emergency shelter, and supportive services. 99 Annual Action Plan
2026 Draft
6 OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
6. Supportive Services – Provide targeted services for vulnerable populations, including youth, seniors, persons with disabilities, victims of domestic violence, veterans, and other high-need populations.
7. Fair Housing Services – Provide fair housing education and outreach to landlords, financial institutions, and residents, and offer assistance to individuals and households experiencing or at risk of housing discrimination.
8. Public Facility Improvements – Maintain and improve public facilities that serve lowand moderate-income residents and support community services.
9. Street and Infrastructure Improvements – Maintain and improve streets, sidewalks, and related infrastructure within low- and moderate-income neighborhoods.
10. Economic Support and Job Training – Promote small business development and provide workforce training opportunities to support economic growth and employment within the community.
11. Disaster Planning and Recovery – Support disaster preparedness, mitigation, and recovery activities in response to severe weather, fires, earthquakes, or other natural disasters.
Evaluation of Past Performance
HUD requires grantees to provide an evaluation of past performance as part of the consolidated planning process. Through annual monitoring of subrecipients, contractors, community-based organizations, and developers, the City of Oxnard ensures compliance with federal requirements for the CDBG, HOME, and Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) programs, while also tracking and reporting program outcomes and accomplishments.
Because the current program year, FY 2025–2026, is still in progress, performance outputs and outcomes for these programs will be evaluated in the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (“CAPER”). The CAPER documents the City’s progress toward meeting the five-year goals and objectives established in the Consolidated Plan. The FY 2025–2026 CAPER will be submitted to HUD no later than the end of September 2026.
CAPERs for the previous five program years, covering the FY 2020–2021 through FY 2024–2025 Regional Consolidated Plan period, have been completed and accepted by HUD. 100

Summary of Citizen Participation Process and Consultation Process As a condition of receiving CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds, the City of Oxnard must engage stakeholders and residents regarding community needs related to housing, homelessness, and community development. To guide this process, the City has adopted a Citizen Participation Plan (“CPP”) that outlines the outreach, consultation, and public involvement requirements for developing the Regional ConPlan, the AAP, and the CAPER.
All Oxnard residents are encouraged to participate in the planning, development, and implementation of the AAP. Each year, the City holds three public hearings to discuss issues related to the Regional ConPlan and the AAP. The first two hearings focus on identifying community needs and gathering input on the development of the AAP. The third hearing focuses on program performance and community needs related to housing, homelessness, lead-based paint hazards, accessibility, infrastructure, and public services. In accordance with the CPP, Notices of Public Hearing were published at least 15 days prior to each hearing to provide residents with adequate notice.
As part of the development of the FY 2026–27 AAP, outreach was conducted to local organizations and service providers, including the Oxnard Wilson Senior Center (special population services for persons with disabilities), the Oxnard Housing Authority, the Multi-Service Center (resident services in the Oxnard Colonia neighborhood), Oxnard Senior Centers, and neighboring jurisdictions within Ventura County. Public hearing notices were distributed in both English and Spanish. Notices were included in the Neighborhood News packets distributed weekly for approximately one month prior to the public meeting to about 250 Oxnard residents. In addition, the notices were published in the Vida newspaper in English and Spanish, posted on the City’s website, broadcast on public access television Channels 10 and 35, and posted in public buildings including the Main Library, the City Clerk’s Office, and the Housing Department Administration Building.
The draft FY 2026–27 AAP was made available for public review and comment during a 30-day period from April 4 through May 5, 2026. City Council public hearings were held on January 25 and May 5, 2026, providing residents and interested parties an opportunity to comment on the AAP prior to its adoption and submission to HUD. Public comments received during the comment period will be incorporated into the final plan following the public hearing.

Summary
The Regional ConPlan identifies the top funding priorities over the next five years. These priorities were established through a needs assessment, housing market analysis, feedback from public meetings, community surveys, and consultation with local stakeholders. Funding these priorities supports HUD’s principal goals and objectives. These goals are meant to provide availability, sustainability, and affordability for Oxnard citizens. During the citizen participation process for the development of the 2025-2029 Regional ConPlan and subsequent Annual Action Plans, these top eleven priorities were established:
1. Development of New Affordable Housing
2. Housing Rehabilitation
3. Housing Services
4. Housing Stability

Introduction
Federal regulations require participating jurisdictions to consult with community service providers, neighboring jurisdictions, and other entities with knowledge of local housing and community development needs. To meet these requirements, the City of Oxnard developed and followed a detailed schedule that encourages broad public involvement, with an emphasis on participation by low- and moderate-income residents.
The Regional ConPlan and the AAP represent a comprehensive planning effort led by the Housing Department’s Grants Management Division, with participation from: (1) local government staff and subject matter experts; (2) social service providers; (3) community residents; and (4) other local jurisdictions that receive funding from HUD:
Examples of consultation and coordination efforts include the following:
● Grants Management Division staff work closely with other City departments and programs—including Affordable Housing and Rehabilitation, the Homeless Assistance Division, Development Services, Utilities, Treasury, the Oxnard Housing Authority, Community Development Services, Code Compliance, Geographic Information Systems, Recreation and Community Services, and Finance—to ensure that identified community needs are addressed and that programs are cost-effective and aligned with established goals and objectives.
● Staff from these departments and divisions provide technical input and support throughout the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan development process. ● Throughout the fiscal year, Grants Management staff also conduct HUD program workshops for social service agencies and provide opportunities for residents to participate in public hearings related to the development of the Regional ConPlan and the AAP.
Provide a Concise Summary of the Jurisdiction’s Activities to Enhance Coordination Between Public and Assisted Housing Providers and Private and Governmental Health, Mental Health, and Service Agencies (91.215(l))
In preparing the FY 2026–27 AAP, the City of Oxnard consulted with a variety of agencies, organizations, and community stakeholders through public hearings, workshops, forums, training sessions, and collaborative meetings. Consistent with the City’s Citizen Participation Plan, the City 104

Council conducted two public hearings on January 15, 2026, and May 5, 2026 to receive public input on housing, homelessness, and community development needs. The Housing Department’s Grants Management Division also hosted two grant application workshops on January 14 and January 29, 2026 to assist interested organizations in applying for grant funding. In addition, a series of community fair housing workshops—free and open to the public—were conducted by the Housing Rights Center on February 24, 2026, March 4, 2026 (landlord-focused session), and March 19, 2026 (tenant-focused session). City staff also participated in regional coordination efforts, including: attending board and subcommittee meetings of the Ventura County Continuum of Care to discuss homelessness needs and strategies; facilitating monthly coordination meetings between service providers and the Oxnard Police Department’s Homeless Liaison Unit; serving as the City lead for the Ventura County annual Homeless Point-in-Time Count; and participating in monthly Community Intervention Court meetings with the Oxnard Police Department, service providers, and the City Attorney’s Office.
Describe Coordination With the Continuum of Care and Efforts to Address the Needs of Homeless Persons (Particularly Chronically Homeless Individuals and Families, Families With Children, Veterans, and Unaccompanied Youth) and Persons at Risk of Homelessness Ventura County coordinated with homeless service agencies across the Ventura County Continuum of Care Alliance in an effort to share information on homelessness and available resources in the region to coordinate services in order to better address the needs of homeless populations. Consultation with the Continuum of Care provided valuable information on homelessness and available resources in the region. Several agencies and organizations that provided housing and/or supportive services for homeless populations also attended focus group workshops and community meetings. Oxnard Housing Department staff served on the Continuum of Care Governance Board and the Ventura County Task Force on Homelessness, and additionally, a City Council member from the City of Oxnard will join the Governance Board following its expected expansion.
Describe Consultation With the Continuum(s) of Care That Serves the Jurisdiction's Area in Determining How to Allocate ESG Funds, Develop Performance Standards for and Evaluate Outcomes of Projects and Activities Assisted by ESG Funds, and Develop Funding, Policies and Procedures for the Operation and Administration of HMIS The Continuum of Care (CoC) Data Performance and Evaluation Sub Committee is tasked with establishing performance measures and new policies and procedures for all homeless grant funds and activities. The HMIS Steering Committee is tasked with developing the policies and procedures that govern HMIS, which is administered by the County of Ventura. City of Oxnard Housing Department staff are members of both committees. 105

The City of Oxnard has developed and implemented a
coordinated plan to respond to large homeless
encampments, including coordinated outreach,
services, and encampment response activities.
The City also consults with the Ventura County Public
Health Department regarding addresses of housing
units where children have been identified as having
elevated blood lead levels. Prior to implementation of
the FY 2026 Annual Action Plan, the City will request
a list of such addresses, if available, in order to identify potential lead hazards in housing units constructed
prior to 1978 and take appropriate actions to address
those hazards.
The City’s Affordable Housing Division does not own
or manage housing units. However, any housing units
receiving assistance through Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) or HOME
Investment Partnerships (HOME) programs—such as
through homebuyer assistance or homeowner
rehabilitation programs—are administered in
compliance with applicable United States Department
of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
regulations related to lead-based paint evaluation and
mitigation.
With respect to housing units owned or assisted by the
Oxnard Housing Authority, there have been no
reported cases of children with elevated blood lead
levels among Public Housing tenants or Housing
Choice Voucher (Section 8) participant households.
The Oxnard Housing Authority provides
informational brochures on lead-based paint hazards to
all new program participants and tenants. In addition,
maintenance staff regularly attend training and
seminars to remain current with the California
Department of Public Health lead awareness training
requirements.

tenants, home seekers, and housing providers. In
addition, twice every year the HRC staff provides free
fair housing training seminars for the public, along
with a bi-annual training presented to the staff of the Oxnard Housing Authority and city housing staff on
their fair housing obligations and responsibilities.
Identify any Agency Types not consulted and provide rationale for not consulting The City of Oxnard took a comprehensive approach to developing its Regional ConPlan by consulting with a wide range of stakeholders, including housing, social, and health service providers, as well as local agencies/governments, and the Oxnard Housing Authority. This collaborative process ensures that the ConPlan reflects the diverse needs and perspectives of the community it serves. Further, through the citizen participation process for the development of the FY 2026-27 AAP, it was reaffirmed that the Regional ConPlan continues to reflect the priority needs of the community.
The City is unaware of any Agency types relevant to the Consolidated Plan that were not consulted.

The Housing Element identifies and analyzes current and future housing needs within the City and establishes housing goals, policies, and programs to support housing production and preservation. It emphasizes meeting the housing needs of lower-income households and special needs populations while facilitating development opportunities for private and nonprofit housing providers.

(SCAG)
The City of Oxnard is located within the SCAG region. For each Housing Element cycle, SCAG determines the Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) for cities and counties within the region.
For the 2021–2029 6th Cycle Housing Element period, SCAG allocated 8,549 dwelling units to Oxnard, including 2,911 units affordable to lower-income households and 1,538 units affordable to moderate-income households. These allocations guide local housing planning efforts and align with the goals of the Strategic Plan to expand affordable housing opportunities.
Table 4 – Other Local / Regional / Federal Planning Efforts Narrative (optional)
Implementation of the FY 2026–27 AAP requires coordination with and adherence to housing policies and priorities established by the City of Oxnard, the County of Ventura, the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), and the State of California.
For the 2021–2029 Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) cycle, the City must accommodate 2,911 units affordable to lower-income households and 1,538 units affordable to moderate-income households. Between 2021 and 2025, the City issued building permits or initiated construction for 975 lower-income units, representing approximately 30 percent of the lower-income RHNA allocation, and 87 moderate-income units, representing about 5 percent of the moderate-income allocation.
The City has also exceeded Housing Element projections for accessory dwelling unit (“ADU”) production. While the Housing Element projected the development of 283 ADUs during the planning period, the City issued permits for 624 ADUs between 2021 and 2025—approximately 220 percent of the projected total.
To facilitate affordable housing development on sites identified in the 2021–2029 Housing Element, the City amended zoning on approximately 63 parcels to include affordable housing additive zones (–AHP and –AHD), allowing development at densities of up to 30 dwelling units per acre. To date, these zoning changes have resulted in the entitlement and permitting of 951 residential units, including 636 units affordable to very low- and low-income households. 110

Summary of Citizen Participation Process/Efforts Made to Broaden Citizen Participation The City of Oxnard followed HUD's guidelines for citizen and community involvement in the preparation of the Consolidated Plan and Action Plan. Engaging citizens in the planning process is crucial for ensuring that the resulting documents accurately reflect the needs and priorities of the community. Here's a summary of the activities undertaken by the City to encourage citizen participation:
1. Encouragement of Citizen Participation: All citizens of Oxnard are encouraged to participate in the planning, development, and implementation of the Annual Action Plan.
This inclusive approach ensures that the voices of all community members, including those from diverse backgrounds and perspectives, are heard and considered in the decisionmaking process.
2. Regular Contact with CDBG, HOME, or ESG Funded Organizations: Organizations receiving direct CDBG, HOME, or ESG funding maintain regular contact with City staff.
This ongoing communication facilitates collaboration and ensures that funded programs align with the goals and priorities outlined in the Annual Action Plan.
3. Workshops and Consultation with Other Organizations: The City consults with other organizations as needed and invites them to participate in public hearings, ensuring that a broad spectrum of community stakeholders—including those not directly funded through CDBG, HOME, or ESG—can provide input on the planning process.

Introduction
The City of Oxnard has a comprehensive strategy in place to leverage various funding sources and partnerships to address community development, affordable housing, and homeless needs within the community. Below is a breakdown of the funding sources and planned allocations for FY 2026- 27:
CDBG Entitlement Funds: The City of Oxnard will receive approximately $2,074,781 in CDBG entitlement funds. Additionally, the City will have $445,685.51 in prior year carryover funds that are available for programming in FY 2026-27, for a total of $2,520,466.51. These funds will be utilized for public services, public infrastructure improvements, homeowner rehabilitation, rental rehabilitation, and CDBG program administration. The City does not have any income from floatfunded activities or surplus from urban renewal settlements, sale of real property, prior period adjustments, CDBG-acquired property available for sale, or lump sum drawdown payments. Nor is the City funding any “urgent need activities.”
HOME Entitlement Funds: The City is expected to receive approximately $599,010.76 in HOME funding. Of this amount, $59,901.08 will be allocated for program administration. The remaining balance of $539,109.68 combined with $1,446,538.38 in carryover funds from prior years, results in a total of $1,985,648.06 available for future affordable housing developments.
ESG Entitlement Funds: Approximately $184,400 is estimated to be awarded to Oxnard as part of the Hearth Emergency Solutions Grant Program. Oxnard will program these funds to emergency shelter and ESG program administration activities.

Explain how federal funds will leverage those additional resources (private, state and local funds), including a description of how matching requirements will be satisfied Many of the housing, community and homeless services programs described in the Regional 116
FY 2026-27 Draft Annual Action Plan 23
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
ConPlan will continue to be delivered by nonprofit community-based organizations. And while many non-profit organizations leverage significant financial and in-kind support from individual community members, foundations, and private organizations, federal funds still play a crucial role in implementing the Annual Action Plan.
The City is mandated to provide a 25 percent match for all HOME funds drawn down for HOME activities, excluding those funded by program income or administrative funds. To meet this requirement, the City has historically leveraged resources from other local funds, such as former redevelopment tax increment and, more recently, bond financing and Oxnard Housing Authority funds, in conjunction with HOME assisted affordable housing acquisition and rehabilitation. Due to these past leveraging efforts, the City has accumulated a surplus of match credits. As of the end of September 2025, the City’s match surplus was $21,503,233.81.
In accordance with 24 CFR 576.201, each Emergency Solutions Grants Program (ESG) award requires a one-to-one (1:1) match, meaning that each dollar of ESG funds expended must be matched with an equal amount of non-ESG funds. Subrecipients are responsible for documenting and reporting this match as part of their annual ESG performance reporting, which includes accomplishments achieved, the number of persons assisted, and the sources of matching funds corresponding to the amount expended during the program year.
The City of Oxnard fulfills the required match for administrative funds through the use of General Fund resources, primarily allocated to cover staff salaries associated with the administration and oversight of ESG-funded activities.
If appropriate, describe publicly owned land or property located within the jurisdiction that may be used to address the needs identified in the plan The City may utilize publicly owned land and facilities to support activities addressing housing and homelessness needs identified in this plan. These include properties owned and operated by the Housing Authority of the City of Oxnard for public housing contribute to addressing affordable housing needs within the jurisdiction. These publicly owned properties support shelter services, affordable housing, and other programs assisting low- and moderate-income residents and individuals experiencing homelessness.

Estimate the number of extremely low-income, low-income, and moderate-income families to whom the jurisdiction will provide affordable housing as defined by HOME 91.215(b):
The City has set aside $1,985,648.06 in HOME Investment Partnerships Program funds for the future development of an affordable housing project to be identified at a later date. These funds will remain reserved until a viable project is identified and evaluated for feasibility, readiness, and consistency with the City’s housing priorities and federal program requirements.
The City may allocate these funds to a project developed either independently or in partnership with a qualified Community Housing Development Organization (“CHDO”). Potential uses include the new construction, acquisition, or rehabilitation of affordable housing units serving lowand very low-income households.

Introduction
The City has carefully planned how it will use Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME), and Emergency Solutions Grants Program (ESG) funds for Fiscal Year 2026–27 to address priority housing, community development, and homelessness needs while complying with program requirements. A summary of the proposed activities and funding amounts is provided below.
These funding decisions support important services and programs in the community, including those serving seniors, individuals experiencing homelessness, and youth. The allocations also ensure the City remains within the required limits for CDBG public services and administration, HOME administration, and ESG street outreach, homelessness prevention, and administration costs. Funding for the Housing Rights Center also reflects the City’s ongoing commitment to fair housing and equal access to housing opportunities for all residents.
Overall, this Annual Action Plan demonstrates the City’s commitment to using federal resources responsibly to strengthen the community and improve the quality of life for Oxnard residents.

Describe the Reasons for Allocation Priorities and Any Obstacles to Addressing Underserved Needs
The priorities outlined above reflect this year’s emphasis on street improvements in low- and moderate-income neighborhoods, public services for seniors, youth, and individuals experiencing homelessness, and housing rehabilitation activities to improve the City’s stock of affordable housing for low-income residents. Key obstacles include insufficient funding to meet unmet needs, very low vacancy rates, and a lack of affordable rental housing.
The Consolidated Plan also acknowledges ongoing challenges in addressing underserved needs, including sustained demand for public services and limited available funding. The City’s ability to respond to these needs will depend on funding availability, strategic partnerships, data analysis, and continued community input.

However, both CDBG-funded street resurfacing and ADA improvement projects targeted to the most-needy neighborhoods: those census tracts where 51 percent or more of the residents are lowor moderate- income. These areas also generally correspond to areas with the highest concentrations of non-White households.

Target Area Percentage of Funds
Citywide 72%
Low- and Moderate-Income Areas 28%
Table 9 - Geographic Distribution
Rationale for the Priorities for Allocating Investments Geographically The City is committed to using federal funds to benefit residents throughout Oxnard. Public service programs will be available citywide and will provide essential support to youth, seniors, and individuals experiencing homelessness. Housing rehabilitation programs will also benefit residents throughout the city. For example, Habitat for Humanity’s Home Repair Program is available to all income-eligible homeowners regardless of where they live in Oxnard. Similarly, the 201 South D Street Acquisition and Rehabilitation Project will provide housing opportunities for eligible households citywide. Approximately 72 percent of the City’s federal funding for FY 2026–27 is allocated to activities that provide a citywide benefit.
In contrast, approximately 28 percent of the federal budget will be invested in street resurfacing and Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”) improvements in low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. These projects are critical to improving safety, maintaining infrastructure, and enhancing overall quality of life. Beyond physical upgrades, these investments also help strengthen neighborhood stability and support long-term community and economic vitality. 134

Affordable Housing
AP-55 Affordable Housing – 91.220(g)
Introduction
HOME funds are used to provide gap-financing for the new construction of multifamily rental housing serving lower-income households in Oxnard. Two affordable housing developments currently under construction, the Cypress Place Phase I project and the Dolores Huerta Gardens Apartments, have received HOME financing and are expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2026. Cypress Place Phase I is a 90-unit (including one manager’s unit), 100 percent affordable development that received a $1,600,000 HOME gap-financing loan and $1,500,000 in CDBG funding for off-site improvements; the project will include 15 HOME-assisted units. The Dolores Huerta Gardens Apartments project is a 58-unit, including one manager’s unit, 100 percent affordable development that received $1,854,000 in HOME funds and will include 11 HOMEassisted units.
The City has also issued a conditional approval letter for $1,000,000 in HOME gap-financing for the Aspire Apartments, an 88-unit affordable housing development (including one unrestricted manager’s unit). The project is scheduled for consideration by the Oxnard City Council in the second quarter of 2026. If approved, construction is anticipated to begin in the second quarter of 2026 and be completed in the first quarter of 2028. The City is currently conducting a subsidy layering review and has not yet determined the number of HOME-assisted units that will be required but will ensure compliance with HOME per-unit subsidy limits. The City Council will also consider additional funding for the project, including $1,200,000 in HOME-American Rescue Plan Program (“HOME-ARP”) funds to support housing for qualifying populations and $718,659 in CDBG funds for the development of a pocket park associated with the project.
During FY 2025-2026, People's Self-Help Housing updated its application requesting HOMEARP funding for Cypress Place at Garden City Phase II, a proposed 60-unit (including one manager’s unit), 100 percent affordable rental housing development. The City has issued a conditional HOME-ARP award in the form of a loan, subject to the developer securing all required financing, meeting HOME-ARP commitment requirements, and receiving City Council approval.
The City estimates that at least two HOME-ARP units will be designated for qualifying populations. If funded, the project is anticipated to be completed in 2028.
In addition to new construction projects, the City continues to support housing rehabilitation activities using CDBG funds. Habitat for Humanity of Ventura County will continue providing residential rehabilitation assistance to eligible homeowners and is proposing to complete repairs on at least four housing units during FY 2026–27. The Housing Authority of the City of Oxnard 135

AP-60 Public Housing – 91.220(h)
Introduction
Oxnard Housing Authority (OHA) currently administers 523 public housing units, 1,904 Section 8 rental assistance vouchers, which includes 77 VASH vouchers, 40 Mainstream vouchers, 10 Family Unification vouchers, 46 Emergency Housing vouchers, and provides support services through its Resident Services program and Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS) program. The needs of public housing residents are supported with a Resident Services program which offers a variety of services to families and youth on-site. The FSS program supports and promotes public housing and Section 8 families with homeownership opportunities and economic self-sufficiency. The FSS Program provides one-on-one counseling and individual assistance to families that participate in this program.
Actions Planned During the Next Year to Address the Needs to Public Housing Modernization and capital improvement projects for public housing units are funded through the City’s Capital Fund Program, which targets upgrades and repairs where they are most needed.
Each year, the Capital Fund Program evaluates and re-prioritizes projects identified in the Public Housing Authority’s five-year plan through the Annual Plan and Annual Statement.
For the Fiscal Year 2026–27, the following capital improvement projects are planned for public housing units:
● CAL 31-3 Colonia Village – Alley Repair: $250,000
● CAL 31-7 Althea Court – Rebuild 8 Units: $300,000
● CAL 31-7 Oxnard Townhomes – Furnace Replacement: $350,000 ● Total planned capital improvements for FY 2026–27: $900,000 These projects reflect the City’s ongoing commitment to maintaining safe, functional, and modern public housing, ensuring residents benefit from well-maintained and upgraded facilities.
Actions to Encourage Public Housing Residents to Become More Involved in Management and Participate in Homeownership
The City promotes homeownership opportunities for public housing families by providing homeownership counseling services through the Ventura County Community Development Corporation (VCCDC). Families are made aware of these services through the Family Self137 FY 2026-27 Draft Annual Action Plan 44

AP-65 Homeless and Other Special Needs Activities – 91.220(i) Introduction
Jurisdictions that receive federal funding for homeless assistance are required to conduct a Pointin-Time (PIT) Count of persons experiencing homelessness each year. The 2026 PIT Count was conducted on January 28, 2026, with more than 150 volunteers participating in Oxnard’s count.
The results of the 2026 count are currently being tabulated by the Ventura County Continuum of Care and will be published in the annual Homeless Count and Survey Report, expected in Spring 2026.
The January 2025 PIT Count identified 634 individuals experiencing homelessness in Oxnard, including 255 sheltered individuals and 379 individuals living in places not meant for human habitation, such as vehicles, parks, abandoned buildings, transit stations, or encampments. This represents a 24 percent decrease in the number of individuals experiencing homelessness over the past two years. By comparison, the total count was 752 individuals in 2024 and 838 individuals in 2023.
Describe the Jurisdictions One-Year Goals and Actions for Reducing and Ending Homelessness including:
Reaching Out to Homeless Persons (Especially Unsheltered Persons) and Assessing Their Individual Needs
The City of Oxnard will continue outreach to persons experiencing homelessness, particularly those who are unsheltered, through coordinated efforts with nonprofit service providers and regional partners. The City will continue operating its year-round homeless shelter and navigation center located at the Casa de Carmen site, which opened in December 2025. The City contracted Mercy House to operate the navigation center during FY 2025–26 and will select an operator for FY 2026–27 through a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) process. The navigation center will continue to operate during the program year, providing emergency shelter, housing navigation, and supportive services to individuals experiencing homelessness.
The City will also continue partnering with Mercy House to provide street outreach services to individuals experiencing homelessness throughout the community. Outreach activities will include engagement and needs assessments, housing navigation, employment assistance, health service referrals, and crisis intervention, with the goal of transitioning chronically homeless individuals into stable housing. The Street Outreach Team will coordinate with the Oxnard Navigation Center and Homeless Liaison Officers from the Oxnard Police Department to connect individuals 139
FY 2026-27 Draft Annual Action Plan 46
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
experiencing homelessness with appropriate shelter, services, and housing resources.
The City will also continue its Encampment Resolution Funding program, which was implemented in partnership with the Ventura County Health Care Agency during FY 2025–26. The program included street outreach and case management services along with non-congregate emergency shelter provided through motel placements for individuals living in encampments. Through proactive engagement and individualized housing plans, more than 40 individuals were successfully transitioned from encampments into permanent housing. These efforts will support the City’s continued work to engage unsheltered residents and connect them with shelter, supportive services, and permanent housing resources.
Addressing the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of homeless persons The City of Oxnard continues to address the emergency shelter and transitional housing needs of persons experiencing homelessness by maintaining adequate zoning capacity for emergency shelters and by supporting the development and operation of shelter and navigation services within the community.
In 2019, the City began operating a temporary emergency shelter at a former National Guard Armory located at 351 S. K Street. The shelter initially opened with financial assistance from the City and the County of Ventura and later transitioned to operation by Mercy House, a nonprofit homeless service provider. The K Street shelter operated as a 24-hour low-barrier emergency shelter providing immediate housing and supportive services to individuals experiencing homelessness until it closed following the opening of the City’s new Navigation Center facility.
To expand the City’s capacity to provide coordinated services and pathways to permanent housing, the City developed a Navigation Center located at 241 W. 2nd Street on City-owned property. The Navigation Center is now operational and provides a centralized location where individuals experiencing homelessness can access emergency shelter, case management, and supportive services designed to assist them in transitioning into permanent housing.
The development of the Navigation Center resulted from a collaborative planning effort that began in 2020, when the City entered into an Exclusive Negotiating Agreement with a development partner and later executed a Disposition and Development Agreement following approval by the City Council. The project received all required land use entitlements and was developed as a multistory mixed-use facility that includes shelter space, administrative offices for supportive service providers, and permanent supportive housing units.
Through these efforts, the City has expanded its ability to respond to homelessness by providing emergency shelter, coordinated services, and housing stabilization resources that help individuals 140
FY 2026-27 Draft Annual Action Plan 47
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
transition from homelessness to permanent housing.
Additional emergency shelter and transitional housing needs in the community are addressed through a network of nonprofit and public service providers. Emergency shelter services are provided by the Ventura County Rescue Mission, which operates a shelter for single adult men with a rotating stay schedule of 10 nights in and 5 nights out; the Kingdom Center, which provides emergency shelter for single women and women with children; the Lighthouse Mission for Women and Children, which serves single women and women with children; and the ESG-funded Turning Point Foundation, which provides shelter and supportive services for individuals experiencing homelessness who have mental health needs.
Transitional housing services are provided by several organizations that support individuals and families in moving toward stable, permanent housing. The Kingdom Center offers transitional housing for single women and women with children. Many Mansions provides transitional housing and supportive services for transition-aged youth, single women, and women with children. The Turning Point Foundation operates programs serving individuals experiencing homelessness with mental health challenges. Additional transitional housing assistance is provided by The Salvation Army, which serves families, single parents, and single individuals, and the Ventura County Human Services Agency, which provides housing and supportive services for families, single parents with children, and single adults.
Helping Homeless Persons (Especially Chronically Homeless Individuals and Families, Families With Children, Veterans and Their Families, and Unaccompanied Youth) Make the Transition to Permanent Housing and Independent Living, Including Shortening the Period of Time That Individuals and Families Experience Homelessness, Facilitating Access for Homeless Individuals and Families to Affordable Housing Units, and Preventing Individuals and Families Who Were Recently Homeless From Becoming Homeless Again A number of agencies and service providers work collaboratively within the City of Oxnard and throughout Ventura County to assist individuals experiencing homelessness in securing housing and preventing future incidents of homelessness. The Oxnard Housing Authority prioritizes housing assistance for persons experiencing homelessness through the designation of Homeless Set-Aside vouchers within its Housing Choice Voucher Program. The Housing Authority continues to offer permanent housing opportunities through permanent supportive housing developments, including the Central Terrace, Casa Aliento, Dolores Huerta, Ormond Beach Villas, and Casa de Carmen projects.
The Oxnard Housing Authority also utilizes Mainstream Housing Vouchers. Mainstream Housing Vouchers are prioritized for non-elderly adults with disabilities who are currently homeless or transitioning out of institutional settings. These resources support the transition of vulnerable 141
FY 2026-27 Draft Annual Action Plan 48
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
households into stable housing and help prevent a return to homelessness.
The Ventura County Human Services Agency administers homelessness prevention and rapid rehousing services for these populations and will continue to do so during the upcoming program year. In addition, Ventura County Veterans Services, Ventura County Health Care for the Homeless, and Ventura County Behavioral Health work closely with local service providers to deliver supportive services that help reduce the incidence and recurrence of homelessness.
The Oxnard Housing Authority also partners with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to administer housing assistance through the HUD-Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing (HUDVASH) Program, which provides housing vouchers and supportive services to chronically homeless veterans and their families.
Helping Low-Income Individuals and Families Avoid Becoming Homeless, Especially Extremely Low-Income Individuals and Families and Those Who Are: Being Discharged From Publicly Funded Institutions and Systems of Care (Such as Health Care Facilities, Mental Health Facilities, Foster Care and Other Youth Facilities, and Corrections Programs and Institutions); or, Receiving Assistance From Public or Private Agencies That Address Housing, Health, Social Services, Employment, Education, or Youth Needs.
The Ventura County Continuum of Care has documented discharge policies for these systems to ensure that individuals are not discharged into homelessness. Additionally, the Ventura County Human Services Agency will continue to assist qualifying low-income individuals and families to prevent homelessness during FY 2026–27, using Ventura County general fund allocations. Under the Continuum of Care discharge policy, the following practices are in place:
● Health Care Facilities: County health care providers follow interdisciplinary discharge protocols. Individuals requiring ongoing medical or nursing care without an identifiable residence may be placed in recuperative care programs. Others are routinely discharged to group homes, board-and-care facilities, or reunite with family and friends. ● Mental Health Facilities: The Ventura County Medical Center Psychiatric Inpatient Unit, in coordination with Ventura County Behavioral Health and community partners, provides discharge planning and placement assistance for individuals leaving mental health facilities.
● Foster Care and Other Youth Facilities: Transitional services are provided to youth and young adults ages 16–21 to support their successful transition from foster care to independent living and self-sufficiency. In addition to County Children and Family 142

Services, a Transitional Age Youth (TAY) center operated by Pacific Clinics is available to support eligible youth.
● Corrections Programs and Institutions: Upon release, individuals may access transitional or permanent housing programs, group homes, sober living facilities, or reunite with family and friends to prevent homelessness.
The Human Services Agency will continue to administer homelessness prevention and rapid rehousing services for these populations in the upcoming program year. In addition, Ventura County Veterans Services, Health Care for the Homeless, and Ventura County Behavioral Health will continue working closely with service providers to deliver supportive services and reduce the incidence and recurrence of homelessness.

AP-75 Barriers to affordable housing – 91.220(j)
Introduction
A barrier to affordable housing is a public policy or non-governmental condition that constrains the development or rehabilitation of affordable housing. Examples include land use controls, property taxes, state prevailing wage requirements, environmental regulations, the cost of land, and the availability of financial resources. Unlike impediments to fair housing choice, which generally involve unlawful discrimination or practices that limit equal housing opportunity, barriers to affordable housing are lawful constraints that can affect housing supply and cost.
Barriers to housing affordability can take many forms, including zoning and land use regulations.
In Ventura County, several local growth limitations have been enacted through voter-approved ballot measures. While these measures reflect community planning priorities, they can also restrict housing development, limit density, and increase the cost of building new units.
Barriers to exiting homelessness are also significant. The limited availability of permanent, yearround shelter and a shortage of housing units affordable to very low- and low-income households constrain the ability of homeless individuals and families to achieve housing stability. High development costs and limited public funding for affordable housing often prevent developers from building the number of units needed to meet demand, leaving many households without viable housing options. These constraints perpetuate homelessness and reduce housing opportunities for the populations with the greatest needs.
Actions It Planned to Remove or Ameliorate the Negative Effects of Public Policies That Serve as Barriers to Affordable Housing Such as Land Use Controls, Tax Policies Affecting Land, Zoning Ordinances, Building Codes, Fees and Charges, Growth Limitations, and Policies Affecting the Return on Residential Investment To address market factors and government regulations that can significantly affect production, affordability, safety, and quality of housing, the City directs efforts to ensure that land use controls, development standards, building and related codes, permit processing procedures, fees and exactions, and other regulations are reasonable and effective. While some market conditions are beyond the direct control of any jurisdiction, the City ensures compliance with federal and state legislation while minimizing unnecessary constraints that may increase housing costs.
The City’s Housing Element goal, “Appropriate Governmental Regulations That Do Not Unnecessarily or Unintentionally Impede the Production of Housing, Especially Lower-Income Housing,” and its three supporting policies are designed to avoid duplicative or burdensome 144
FY 2026-27 Draft Annual Action Plan 51
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
regulations that could constrain the development of housing, particularly affordable housing:
● H-4.1 Regulatory/Fee Constraints: Periodically review City regulations, building and related codes, ordinances, service fees, and development impact fees to ensure they do not unnecessarily or unintentionally constrain housing production, with a focus on affordable housing.
● H-4.2 Affordable Housing Incentives: Offer regulatory incentives and design flexibility for affordable housing, such as relief from residential development standards or fee waivers, consistent with state housing laws.
● H-4.3 Processing: Provide streamlined, timely, and coordinated processing of affordable residential development projects to minimize land acquisition costs, holding costs, and upfront development expenses.
These actions collectively support the development of housing that meets the needs of lowerincome households while maintaining the City’s community vision and regulatory standards. 145

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
AP-85 Other Actions – 91.220(k)
Actions Planned to Address Obstacles to Meeting Underserved Needs The City of Oxnard has identified strategies, activities, and funding sources to implement goals in housing, community development, and homelessness services to benefit residents with unmet needs. Recognizing that funding limitations can constrain service delivery, the City will continue to pursue additional resources through grants, partnerships with external organizations, and advocacy for increased state and federal funding.
The City is committed to enhancing delivery systems for housing, community development, and homelessness services through innovation, streamlined processes, and collaboration with for-profit and nonprofit partners. Federal funds, including CDBG, HOME, and ESG, are prioritized to support affordable rental housing development, address housing availability and quality, promote fair housing practices, and prevent homelessness. These funds also support broader community development needs, such as infrastructure improvements in predominantly low- and moderateincome neighborhoods, which contribute to safer, healthier, and more vibrant communities.
City staff will continue to work closely with private-sector partners, nonprofit service providers, neighboring cities, and other local government agencies to identify eligible projects that meet federal program requirements and ensure timely fund utilization.
Actions Planned to Foster and Maintain Affordable Housing The City of Oxnard promotes the development and preservation of affordable housing through its Inclusionary Housing Program and other policies identified in the 2021–2029 Housing Element.
The Inclusionary Housing Program is one of 44 programs designed to facilitate the construction of new affordable housing and the conservation and rehabilitation of existing units.
To meet the City’s 2021–2029 Regional Housing Needs Allocation (RHNA) of 2,911 lowerincome units and ensure adequate development opportunities, the City relies on several housing opportunity sites, including:
● Affordable Housing Additive Zones with an inventory of 2,466 potential units ● 44 vacant or underutilized sites
● 224 units within pending specific plans
● 165 units within pending annexations
● 490 projected accessory dwelling units (ADUs)
146
FY 2026-27 Draft Annual Action Plan 53
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
The City has adopted inclusionary housing requirements through City Council Ordinances 2980 and 2999. Under the Inclusionary Housing Program, developers may request approval to pay an in-lieu fee rather than construct affordable units on-site. In-lieu fees are adjusted annually based on the Engineering News Record Building Cost Index for the Los Angeles Region. Collected fees are deposited into the City’s Affordable Housing In-Lieu Fund, which currently has a balance of approximately $1.8 million. These funds are used to support affordable housing development, typically through developer loans that leverage additional funding sources.
The City also supports affordable housing development through incentives and programs that may include:
● Expedited or streamlined development review
● Case-by-case modifications to development standards, such as reduced setbacks or parking requirements
● Participation in the State Density Bonus Program
● Down Payment Assistance for low-income homebuyers through the City’s partnership with the Ventura County Community Development Commission using CDBG funds In addition, the Affordable Housing Additive Zone allows residential densities of up to 30 units per acre in designated areas when at least 20 percent of units are affordable, helping expand opportunities for affordable housing development and supporting the City’s RHNA goals.
Actions Planned to Reduce Lead-Based Paint Hazards
To protect children and families from lead exposure, the City of Oxnard follows HUD’s LeadBased Paint Regulations (Title X), which focus on notification, lead hazard evaluation, hazard reduction, ongoing maintenance, and response to children with elevated blood lead levels.
The City implements these requirements in all federally funded rehabilitation projects. Housing units constructed prior to 1978 that receive CDBG or HOME assistance are evaluated for leadbased paint hazards unless exempt under federal regulations. When hazards are identified, appropriate measures such as abatement or interim controls are implemented in accordance with HUD requirements. Tenants are notified of test results and clearance reports once remediation is completed.
Lead hazard reduction activities are incorporated into the City’s Acquisition/Rehabilitation/New Construction of Affordable Rental Housing Program. In addition, all federally assisted rehabilitation projects include testing for lead-based paint and asbestos to ensure safe living 147
FY 2026-27 Draft Annual Action Plan 54
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
conditions.
For units assisted through the Housing Choice Voucher and public housing programs, inspections are conducted annually and when new units enter the program. Defective paint surfaces must be corrected, and units occupied by children under six receive additional attention to ensure potential lead hazards are addressed.
The City’s Affordable Housing Division does not own or operate housing units. However, all housing activities funded through HOME or CDBG programs, including homebuyer assistance and homeowner rehabilitation, comply with applicable HUD lead-based paint regulations. The Oxnard Housing Authority also provides lead hazard information to tenants and program participants and ensures staff receive training to remain compliant with state and federal lead safety requirements.
Actions Planned to Reduce the Number of Poverty-Level Families Reducing poverty is a priority for the City of Oxnard. The City works with local agencies and programs to improve the economic well-being of Oxnard residents by providing job skills training, employment opportunities, and support services. Key partners serving Oxnard residents include the City Corp, Oxnard Housing Authority, County of Ventura Human Services Agency, and City youth programs such as the Police Activities League and Southwinds Youth Center.
The City’s Economic Development Division also supports Oxnard residents and local businesses by providing guidance for business startups, including assistance with permits, zoning, and homebased businesses. The Division also supports the Oxnard Employee Pipeline, a local skills-training program developed with Oxnard College and the West Ventura County Business Alliance. Oxnard residents who complete the program earn a certificate guaranteeing an interview with participating Oxnard employers offering competitive pay and benefits.
Oxnard residents also benefit from the programs of the Economic Development Collaborative of Ventura County, which promotes local job creation and economic growth through education, training, and business support services. The West Ventura County Business Alliance also advocates for Oxnard and regional businesses, supports economic development, and represents local business interests with government agencies.
Additionally, the Ventura County Workforce Development Board provides workforce services for Oxnard residents, including training, support for veterans, older workers, and individuals with disabilities, as well as business counseling, management guidance, and regulatory compliance.

residents access quality jobs, increase household incomes, and improve overall economic stability.
Actions Planned to Develop Institutional Structure
The City of Oxnard’s Grants Management Division plays a central role in administering HUD entitlement grants, including CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds. The Division is responsible for preparing and administering key planning and reporting documents such as the Regional ConPlan, Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice, Annual Action Plan, and Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER). These documents establish the City’s priorities, strategies, and outcomes for housing, community development, and homeless activities.
The Grants Management Division also works closely with external partners to strengthen the delivery of housing, community development, and homeless programs. Coordination occurs through workshops, training, and regular meetings, including entitlement grant workshops, affordable housing workshops for homeowners, fair housing trainings, pre-construction meetings, Commission on Homelessness meetings, and County Continuum of Care Council and Housing Committee meetings.
In addition, the City engages a broad range of stakeholders—including nonprofit service providers, for-profit developers, advocacy organizations, neighborhood groups, and private sector partners— to help implement the strategies outlined in the Regional ConPlan. Public notices, community workshops, the City’s website, and other communication channels are used to share information and gather input to ensure the needs of low- and moderate-income residents are effectively addressed.
Actions Planned to Enhance Coordination Between Public and Private Housing and Social Service Agencies
To improve service delivery and address the needs of homeless individuals, low-income families, and other special needs populations, the City of Oxnard has established ongoing partnerships and collaborations with local service providers and City departments. Key partners include the Oxnard Police Department, Oxnard Cultural and Community Services Department, Oxnard Public Works Department, Many Mansions, People’s Self-Help Housing, and the Ventura County Continuum of Care.
During FY 2026–27, the City will continue to strengthen and expand these partnerships to enhance coordination, streamline service delivery, and maximize the effectiveness of programs addressing 149

FY 2026-27 Draft Annual Action Plan 58
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME)
Reference 24 CFR 91.220(l)(2)
1. A description of other forms of investment being used beyond those identified in Section
92.205 is as follows:
Other forms of local investments for housing that may be available to projects include financing from the City’s in-lieu fees, CDBG, Housing Successor Agency Funds, and Permanent Local Housing Allocation (PLHA) funding. The City also applies for competitive grants in support of affordable housing initiatives and partners with other housing organizations to assist in housing low-income and the unhoused with permanent housing options.
2. A description of the guidelines that will be used for resale or recapture of HOME funds when used for homebuyer activities as required in 92.254, is as follows:
The City of Oxnard does not utilize a resale provision for HOME-assisted homebuyers.
Instead, the City recaptures HOME funds to use for future HOME-eligible activities. The recapture provisions and procedures are as follows:
Recapture Provision:
If a homebuyer fails to comply with loan requirements during the affordability period or otherwise defaults, the City may exercise its legal rights, as set forth in the recorded promissory note and deed of trust, to recover the monetary assistance provided to the maximum extent permitted by law.
If recapture is triggered by the sale of the property, whether voluntary or involuntary, including foreclosure, or other default, the City will recover HOME funds from the net proceeds, defined as the sales price minus repayment of any first trust deed (other than HOME funds) and closing costs.
HOME regulations permit the City to recapture the full HOME subsidy in the event of a violation of affordability or term requirements. However, if the net proceeds are insufficient to recover the full subsidy, the City is required to forgive any remaining balance.
During the affordability period, repayment is required if the property is sold, transferred, refinanced without the City’s consent, cash is taken out by the homeowner, or the property is 152
FY 2026-27 Draft Annual Action Plan 59
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
not occupied as the homeowner’s primary residence.
Procedures:
HOME assistance is secured through a recorded promissory note and deed of trust filed with the Ventura County Recorder’s Office. The City monitors compliance annually by requiring the homeowner to certify that the property remains owner-occupied. If violations are discovered, the City will invoke the recapture provisions.
If the property is transferred during the occupancy period, the City will require repayment from the net proceeds. If the net proceeds are insufficient to fully repay the HOME loan while allowing the borrower to recover their initial investment and documented capital improvements, the City calculates its share as follows:
Amount of Loan / (Amount of Loan + Borrower’s Investment) = % of Net Proceeds Any remaining balance of the HOME subsidy that cannot be recovered from net proceeds will be forgiven.
3. A description of the guidelines for resale or recapture that ensures the affordability of units acquired with HOME funds. See 24 CFR 92.254(a)(4) are as follows:
During the affordability period, HOME-assisted homeowners must sell the property to another low-income homebuyer if the property is refinanced without the City’s approval, cash is taken out by the homeowner, or the property is no longer occupied as the homeowner’s primary residence.
The original homebuyer is entitled to a fair return on investment, including the down payment and documented capital improvements. However, in certain circumstances, such as a declining housing market where the sale price does not exceed the original purchase price, the homeowner may not receive a return. If a home buyer fails to meet program requirements or otherwise defaults during the affordability period, the City will exercise its legal rights under the recorded Resale Restriction Agreement (RRA) secured by a deed of trust.
The City monitors compliance annually, requiring homeowners to certify that the property remains owner-occupied. If violations are discovered, the resale provisions are enforced, and the property must be sold to an eligible low-income household. The new buyer assumes the property subject to the RRA, which maintains the unit’s affordability restrictions.
The resale price is set to ensure the property remains affordable for a low-income household earning up to 80% of the area median income, as determined by HUD. Monthly housing costs, 153
FY 2026-27 Draft Annual Action Plan 60
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
including principal, interest, taxes, insurance, homeowners’ association fees, utilities, and maintenance, cannot exceed 30% of the household’s monthly income, unless otherwise stated in the RRA.
The RRA specifies the method for calculating the resale price, using one of the following approaches:
1. Affordable Housing Cost Method: The resale price is based on the maximum affordable price for a household earning up to 80% of AMI, paying no more than 30% of income for housing costs, but not less than the original purchase price paid by the first homeowner.
2. CPI-Based Method: The resale price is adjusted for changes in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for All Urban Consumers in the Los Angeles-Riverside-Orange Counties area, accounting for documented improvements to the property, depreciation, and costs required to bring the home up to current building codes and make it marketable.
These guidelines ensure that HOME-assisted units remain affordable to successive low-income households while protecting the investment of the initial homeowner.
4. Plans for using HOME funds to refinance existing debt secured by multifamily housing that is rehabilitated with HOME funds along with a description of the refinancing guidelines required that will be used under 24 CFR 92.206(b), are as follows:
Not applicable; the City currently does not have any plans to invest HOME funds in this type of activity.
5. If applicable to a planned HOME TBRA activity, a description of the preference for persons with special needs or disabilities. (See 24 CFR 92.209(c)(2)(i) and CFR
91.220(l)(2)(vii)).
Not applicable; the City currently does not have any plans to invest HOME funds in this type of activity.
6. If applicable to a planned HOME TBRA activity, a description of how the preference for a specific category of individuals with disabilities (e.g. persons with HIV/AIDS or chronic mental illness) will narrow the gap in benefits and the preference is needed to narrow the gap in benefits and services received by such persons. (See 24 CFR 92.209(c)(2)(ii) and 154
FY 2026-27 Draft Annual Action Plan 61
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
91.220(l)(2)(vii)).
Not applicable; the City currently does not have any plans to invest HOME funds in this type of activity.
7. If applicable, a description of any preference or limitation for rental housing projects. (See 24 CFR 92.253(d)(3) and CFR 91.220(l)(2)(vii)). Note: Preferences cannot be administered in a manner that limits the opportunities of persons on any basis prohibited by the laws listed under 24 CFR 5.105(a).
Not applicable.

OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG)
Reference 91.220(l)(4)
1. Include written standards for providing ESG assistance (may include as attachment) The City of Oxnard does not provide direct client assistance under the ESG program. Written standards for ESG-funded activities are established by each service provider and vary by type of assistance. However, all providers are required to ensure that recipients meet HUD’s minimum eligibility requirements for each funded activity. The Ventura County Continuum of Care maintains written standards for ESG subrecipients and for the HUD Continuum of Care program, which guide the provision of services and ensure compliance with federal requirements.
2. If the Continuum of Care has established centralized or coordinated assessment system that meets HUD requirements, describe that centralized or coordinated assessment system.
The Ventura County Continuum of Care Alliance has established a centralized coordinated assessment system called Pathways to Home. This system provides a standardized intake process and helps prevent duplication of services across providers. Pathways to Home uses the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) to track all homeless individuals who seek or receive assistance from participating service providers or directly through the County, ensuring consistent information and coordinated service delivery across the region.
3. Identify the process for making sub-awards and describe the ESG allocation available to private nonprofit organizations (including community and faith-based organizations).
The City of Oxnard follows a structured process for awarding ESG sub-grants to private nonprofit organizations, including community- and faith-based organizations:
a) The City issues a Notice of Available Funds (NOFA), which is posted on the City’s Housing Department website, at public locations such as the Library, and distributed via email to current and potential service providers throughout Ventura and Orange Counties.
b) Interested agencies attend an information workshop and application training, which provides guidance on application requirements, deadlines, and submission procedures. c) Agencies submit their applications, including project overviews, qualifications, and proposed budgets.
d) City staff review applications, adjust funding recommendations to comply with available resources and applicable caps, and submit the recommendations to City 156
FY 2026-27 Draft Annual Action Plan 63
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
management for review and ultimately to the City Council for approval. e) Applicants are notified and encouraged to attend the City Council meeting at which their funding recommendations are considered. Public comments or grievances may be addressed at this time.
f) Upon City Council approval, the Mayor and City Council direct the City Manager and staff to proceed with final processing.
g) Staff prepare and execute all contracts, completing internal processes necessary to encumber funds for each agency.
h) Once contracts are executed, services commence on July 1 of the program year. i) All ESG contracts are awarded for a one-year period.
This process ensures transparency, compliance with HUD requirements, and equitable distribution of ESG funding to eligible service providers serving Oxnard residents.
4. If the jurisdiction is unable to meet the homeless participation requirement in 24 CFR 576.405(a), the jurisdiction must specify its plan for reaching out to and consulting with homeless or formerly homeless individuals in considering policies and funding decisions regarding facilities and services funded under ESG.
The City meets the homeless participation requirement by having key City staff involved in the consideration of policies and funding decisions regarding facilities and services funded under ESG. The Housing Department Director serves on the Ventura County Continuum of Care Governance Board. In addition, each entity receiving City ESG funding is also asked to provide information as to how they involve the homeless.
5. Describe performance standards for evaluating ESG.
The City of Oxnard has established performance measures to ensure the effective administration of all ESG-funded activities and to track progress toward reducing homelessness. In combination with the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS), these standards help monitor program outcomes, including the length of time individuals and families experience homelessness, the overall incidence of homelessness, and the utilization of emergency shelters. Key performance measures include:
● Emergency Shelters: Excluding winter shelters, at least 10% of the homeless individuals or households served during the program year must be placed into transitional or permanent housing.
157
FY 2026-27 Draft Annual Action Plan 64
OMB Control No: 2506-0117 (exp. 09/30/2021)
● Transitional Housing: At least 50% of households completing the transitional housing program during the program year must transition into permanent housing. (“Household” includes single individuals and families.)
● Rapid Re-Housing and Eviction Prevention: Clients receiving assistance must remain in stable housing for at least three months following program exit. Progress is tracked through case management, documentation, and HMIS entry and exit dates. ● HMIS Data Entry: All clients, except victims of domestic violence, must be entered into the regional HMIS within 15 days of receiving services and exited within 30 days of program completion or termination.
● Minimum Standards: Sub-grantees are expected to meet the Minimum Standards for Homeless Programs within 30 days of executing their program year contract. ● Building and Habitability Standards: Any facility receiving ESG funds for renovation, major rehabilitation, or conversion must comply with local safety and sanitation requirements. Sub-grantees must also ensure that shelters and housing facilities are safe, sanitary, and properly maintained.
● Monitoring: City staff review submitted reports, financial statements, audits, and conduct site visits to monitor the proper use of ESG funds and compliance with program requirements.
Through these performance measures, the City ensures that ESG-funded activities are effectively implemented, achieve program goals, and comply with all applicable federal regulations.
Discussion
The City of Oxnard’s Homeless Services Division continues to fund activities in compliance with the HEARTH Act. In partnership with subrecipients, ESG funding provides critical leverage to support programs aimed at reducing and ultimately ending homelessness. ESG regulations limit administrative and planning costs to 7.5% of the grant and allow no more than 60% of funds to be used for street outreach and emergency shelter activities. The remaining ESG funds are allocated to support rapid re-housing programs, ensuring targeted assistance for homeless individuals and families.

INTRODUCTION
The City of Oxnard receives annual funding through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG), Home Investment Partnership (HOME), and Hearth Act Emergency Solutions Grant (ESG) programs from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). These funds are designated for housing, community development, and homelessness activities aimed at assisting low-income individuals.
In compliance with HUD regulations (24 CFR 91.105), the City is required to develop a 5-Year Consolidated Plan to address its affordable housing, community development, and homelessness needs. This includes submitting an Annual Action Plan that outlines specific spending and activities for the program years, as well as a Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) to assess the City’s achievements and use of CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds.
To ensure meaningful citizen engagement, the City has established a detailed Citizen Participation Plan (“CPP”) that specifies the City’s policies and procedures for engaging citizens and encouraging them to participate in creating, evaluating, and implementing the CDBG, HOME, and ESG programs and the Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH). The Draft FY 2026-27 – 2029-30 CPP was made available for public review and comment from April 4, 2026, to May 05, 2026. The City published a notice in the Vida Newspaper on April 2, 2026, to inform the public about the availability of the document. Community members could review the Draft CPP at the City of Oxnard Housing Department, 435 South D Street, Oxnard, CA during the City’s open operating hours, or at the City’s Housing Grants Management Division website at https://www.oxnard.gov/housing/grants-management .
Public input was invited during a regular public hearing of the Oxnard City Council on May 5, 2026, where residents could provide their comments on the Draft CPP. This engagement process is essential for ensuring that the voices of Oxnard residents are incorporated into the planning and implementation of CDBG, HOME, and ESG programs, as well as the Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH).
OBJECTIVES
The City’s CPP is designed to ensure equitable representation of all segments of the community and to facilitate communication between the City and its residents regarding the use of federal funding received from HUD. The CPP outlines policies and procedures intended to encourage meaningful public participation in decisions related to the use of federal funds, particularly CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds.

DRAFT
The intent of the CPP is to engage individuals and groups who are often least likely to participate in the planning process, especially low-income residents living in distressed neighborhoods, public and assisted housing developments, and areas where CDBG funds are proposed to be used. The CPP also requires outreach to public and private organizations that provide housing, health services, social services, and community-based programs, including regional organizations that represent protected classes and organizations that enforce fair housing laws.
Outreach efforts also include entities serving populations targeted for assistance under HUD programs covered by the CPP.
This document outlines the guiding principles of citizen participation required under federal regulations and will remain in effect throughout the implementation of the City’s federal entitlement programs until the funds are fully expended and closed out.
The Citizen Participation Plan promotes resident involvement in the following key areas:
● Preparation, review, and comment on:
✔ The Consolidated Plan, a five-year strategic document outlining the City’s goals for federal funding.
✔ The Annual Action Plan, which details the projects to be undertaken in the upcoming fiscal year using federal funds.
✔ Substantial Amendments to the Consolidated Plan and/or Annual Action Plan.
✔ The Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER), which assesses federally funded activities and accomplishments relative to planned goals and objectives.
✔ The Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH), which analyzes fair housing issues, identifies contributing factors, and outlines goals and strategies to reduce inequities in housing, such as racial segregation and disparities in access to opportunity.
● Providing residents with reasonable and timely access to information, meetings, and records.
● Offering assistance for non-English-speaking and Limited English Proficient (LEP) individuals upon advance request, when such services are available. ● Ensuring reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities upon advance request.

GUIDELINES FOR CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
The citizen participation process offers the residents of Oxnard a formal opportunity to engage in the development of housing and community development programs, as well as amendments to adopted plans, in a public forum during designated public hearings that may be held at the City of Oxnard Council Chambers or in facilities in or adjacent to low- and moderate-income neighborhoods. To facilitate meaningful citizen involvement, the City will adhere to the following specific guidelines regarding information access, public notices, and technical assistance, among others, to encourage participation in the preparation of the Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plan, Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH), and Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER):
1. Information Access: The City will provide timely and easy access to relevant information about the planning process, including drafts of the plans and any substantial amendments.
2. Public Notices: The City will publish public notices in local newspapers and on its website to inform residents of upcoming meetings, availability of documents for review, and opportunities to provide input.
3. Meetings: Regularly scheduled City Council meetings will serve as forums for public discussion. Additional community meetings may be held to gather input from residents.
4. Technical Assistance: The City will offer assistance to residents who may need help understanding the planning documents or the participation process, including guidance for non-English-speaking and Limited English Proficient (LEP) individuals upon request.
5. Feedback Mechanisms: Citizens will be encouraged to submit comments and feedback through various channels, including written submissions, email, and verbal comments during meetings.
6. Accessibility: All meetings and materials will be accessible to individuals with disabilities, ensuring that all residents can participate fully in the process.
Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plan, Assessment to Fair Housing The Citizen Participation Plan (CPP) establishes the policies and procedures the City of Oxnard uses to ensure meaningful public involvement in the planning, development, and implementation of federally funded housing and community development programs. The CPP outlines how residents, community organizations, and other stakeholders can participate in decisions related to the use of funds received from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). 4 | Page
163
DRAFT
These participation requirements apply to the development of the Consolidated Plan, the Annual Action Plan, and fair housing planning documents.
The Consolidated Plan is a five-year strategic planning document that identifies the community’s housing, homelessness, and community development needs and establishes priorities and goals for addressing those needs. The Annual Action Plan is prepared each year during the five-year planning period and identifies the specific projects, programs, and funding allocations that will be undertaken in the upcoming program year to advance the goals of the Consolidated Plan. Both plans must be developed with opportunities for public participation, review, and comment in accordance with the policies described in the CPP.
Fair housing planning is also incorporated into this process. The Assessment of Fair Housing (AFH) evaluates local and regional fair housing issues, including patterns of segregation, disparities in access to opportunity, and disproportionate housing needs among protected classes.
The findings and goals identified in the AFH inform the priorities and strategies contained in the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan. The Citizen Participation Plan ensures that residents, advocacy groups, housing providers, and other stakeholders have the opportunity to provide input on these documents and the policies that guide the City’s use of HUD funding.
The following steps will be taken to encourage all Oxnard citizens, including minorities, non-English speaking or limited English proficient (LEP) persons, and persons with disabilities, to participate in the development of the Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plan, and AFH and afford these citizens an opportunity to review and comment on them:
Consolidated Plan & 1st Year Annual Action Plan
1. Community Needs Survey and Consultation Workshop: The City will distribute a Community Needs Survey in English and Spanish to local agencies. A consultation workshop will be conducted with housing, health, homeless, disabled, and other social service providers to identify key community development needs and service gaps.
2. Community Workshop: A workshop(s) will be held in English and Spanish to gather citizen input on perceived community needs during the development of the Consolidated Plan. A written Community Needs Survey will also be provided to establish spending priorities for CDBG, HOME, and ESG funds.
3. Request for Proposals (RFP): The City will periodically distribute a Notice of Funding Availability (NOFA) to nonprofit organizations and City departments to facilitate public service, housing, public facility/infrastructure, and economic development activities. 5 | Page

Assessment to Fair Housing Plan (AFH)
1. Data Availability: Oxnard staff will, at or as soon as feasible after initiating the public participation process, make HUD-provided data and any supplemental information planned for inclusion in the AFH available to residents, public agencies, and other interested parties. This data may be accessible by cross-referencing with HUD’s website.
2. Public Hearing for Community Input: To gather community feedback on AFH-related data and to promote fair housing within Oxnard’s housing and community development programs, at least one public hearing will be held before the proposed AFH is published for comment. This hearing may be combined with the first of two public hearings conducted as part of the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan process.
3. Public Notice and Comment Period: A summary describing the contents and purpose of the proposed AFH will be published in a local newspaper at least thirty (30) days prior to the public hearing. This notice will also initiate a 30-day public comment period, allowing citizens to examine the proposed AFH and submit feedback to the City’s Grants Management Division. The notice will include details about the date, time, and location of the public hearing for the adoption of the AFH. Public hearings may be held at the Oxnard City Council Chambers at 300 West 3

Plan Amendments and Revisions
Consolidated Plan/Annual Action Plan Amendments
Consolidated Plans and/or Annual Action Plans may be revised during the program year. ● Minor Amendments: Any revisions not classified below as a Substantial Amendment are considered minor amendments and do not require public notification or citizen participation prior to implementation. Once completed, the City will publicly disclose the amendment by posting it on the City’s website and will notify HUD of the change. The City will submit a copy of each amendment to HUD as it occurs or at the close of the program year. Minor changes and corrections may be made as long as they do not constitute a substantial amendment. These minor changes, including but not limited to modifications of goal outcome indicators, do not require public review or a public hearing.
● Substantial Amendments: The following changes to the City’s Consolidated Plan and/or Annual Action Plan are classified as substantial amendments, requiring public notification and review in accordance with the citizen participation process outlined in 24 CFR 91.105 and 24 CFR 91.115:
1. A change in allocation priorities or in the method of fund distribution.
2. An addition, modification, or elimination of a goal in the Consolidated Plan.
3. The execution of an activity not previously described in the Annual Action Plan using funds covered by the Consolidated Plan, including Program Income.
4. A proposal to cancel an activity described in the Annual Action Plan, if funded, in the federal Integrated Disbursement Information System (IDIS).
5. A change in the purpose, scope, location, or beneficiaries of an activity in the Annual Action Plan.

DRAFT
6. An increase in the use of CDBG, HOME, or ESG funds from one activity to another in the Annual Action Plan by $220,000 or more.
If an amendment qualifies as a substantial change, citizens will have the opportunity to participate in the planning process by following these steps:
1. The City will publish a notice detailing the contents and purpose of the proposed substantial amendment to the Consolidated Plan and/or Annual Action Plan in a newspaper of general circulation. This notice will also provide a list of locations where a complete draft of the amended documents can be reviewed.
2. The publication of the notice will initiate a 30-day public comment period, allowing citizens to examine the proposed amendments and submit feedback to the City’s Grants Management Division.
3. After the 30-day comment period concludes, the City Council will consider the approval of the substantial amendment to the Consolidated Plan and/or Annual Action Plan. All substantial amendments, along with any amendments to the Citizen Participation Plan, will be reviewed and approved by the City Council. A summary of public comments, including any not accepted and the reasons for their exclusion, will be attached to the final amended document
Assessment to Fair Housing Plan Revisions
An AFH previously accepted by HUD must be revised and submitted to HUD for review under the following circumstances:
1. Material Changes: A material change refers to any significant alteration in the circumstances within the jurisdiction that affects the information on which the AFH is based, such that the analysis, fair housing contributing factors, or priorities and goals no longer reflect current conditions. Examples include:
● Presidentially declared disasters under Title IV of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5121 et seq.) that significantly impact the steps necessary to affirmatively further fair housing. ● Significant demographic changes.
● New substantial contributing factors within the jurisdiction. 9 | Page
168
DRAFT
● Civil rights findings, determinations, settlements (including Voluntary Compliance Agreements), or court orders.
A revised AFH due to a material change must be submitted within 12 months of the change, unless HUD provides a later date. If the change results from a Presidentially declared disaster, the submission deadline is automatically extended to two years from the disaster declaration date, with potential further extensions granted by HUD upon request for good cause.
2. HUD Notification: If HUD issues written notification of a material change requiring revision, it will specify a due date for the revised AFH, considering the nature of the change and the program participant's capacity. The due date may be extended upon a written request from the participant explaining the reasons for the delay.
Within 30 calendar days of HUD's notification, the City may inform HUD in writing if it believes a revision is unnecessary, detailing the specific reasons for this opinion. HUD will respond within 30 days of receiving the City’s correspondence, indicating whether it agrees or disagrees. If HUD disagrees, the City must proceed with the revision, and HUD may establish a new due date.
The revised AFH will involve amending analyses, assessments, priorities, and goals to reflect the material change, including any new fair housing issues or contributing factors.
The revision does not require a complete overhaul of the AFH; it should focus solely on the material change and relevant adjustments.
Oxnard will adhere to the citizen participation guidelines established for a Consolidated Plan Substantial Amendment, which includes publishing a public notice at least 30 days prior to a public hearing for adopting the Revised AFH and allowing for a 30-day public comment period.
Consolidated Annual Performance Evaluation Report (CAPER) The City will prepare an annual CAPER to evaluate the progress of the Consolidated Plan and review accomplishments from the previous program year. Once the CAPER is completed, a public notice will be published in a newspaper of general circulation, announcing its availability for review and comment before submission to HUD.
● Public Review and Comment Period: This review period will last a minimum of 15 days, commencing on the publication date. During this time, citizens will have the opportunity to examine the CAPER and submit comments to the City’s Grants Management Division.
10 | Page
169
DRAFT
● Public Hearing: A public hearing will be held to gather citizens' views on program performance prior to submitting the CAPER to HUD. The public hearing may take place at the City Council Chambers or at any public facility in or adjacent to low- and moderate-income neighborhoods.
● Summary of Comments: A summary of public comments, including those not accepted and the reasons for their exclusion, will be attached to the final CAPER.
PUBLIC COMMENT
Public comments, both verbal and written, are welcomed throughout the program year, with particular emphasis during designated public comment periods. Public hearings provide a vital opportunity for citizen input on proposed neighborhood improvement programs, activities, and policies. Each year, the City will conduct at least three public hearings: one to solicit comments on needs and priorities for the development of the Consolidated Plan and/or Annual Action Plan, a second for adopting the Consolidated Plan and/or Annual Action Plan, and a third to accept the Consolidated Annual Performance and Evaluation Report (CAPER) after reviewing program performance. These hearings will be scheduled at convenient times for potential and actual beneficiaries and will be accessible to individuals with disabilities.
Notices for public comment periods will be published on the first day of the period and will conclude with the public hearing. To ensure that all residents are informed, public hearing notices—including date, time, and location—will be published in a local newspaper of general circulation at least 15 days prior to the hearing. Additionally, public notices will be issued for citywide projects, such as the Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plan, and CAPER, ensuring transparency and community engagement.
ACCESS TO MEETINGS FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES AND
NON-ENGLISH-SPEAKING PERSONS
The Citizen Participation Plan shall provide for and encourage participation by all citizens, including minorities, non-English speaking persons, and persons with mobility, visual, or hearing impairments. Persons with disabilities needing special assistance to participate in the meetings shall contact the City Clerk’s Office at least 72 hours prior to the meeting to ensure that mobility, visual or hearing impairments shall be accommodated.

To accommodate non-English speaking persons, a translator shall be provided at each hearing and other translators may be made available upon request with at least three business days’ notice. Requests can be made by email or telephone to the City Clerk’s Office.
BACK-UP PROJECTS
The Annual Action Plan may include a list of “back-up” projects to be funded for the program year under certain circumstances. For instance, if additional funding becomes available from the closeout of past or current projects completed under budget, or if more program income is generated than originally estimated, these funds can be allocated to activities listed as “back-up” projects in the Annual Action Plan. Additionally, if staff has not definitively chosen which public facility or infrastructure improvement project to fund during the development of the Annual Action Plan, the City may categorize these projects as "back-up" options until further planning is completed. The initiation and funding of these back-up projects will not be considered a substantial amendment, as defined in the Citizen Participation Plan.
Preferential consideration will be given to projects that can effectively utilize CDBG funds in a timely manner, aligning with the City’s goal of meeting CDBG timeliness requirements. The City Council will approve the list of back-up projects, which may include various public facility and infrastructure improvements. These back-up projects can be activated whenever funding becomes available, provided that the City receives HUD approval for both the back-up projects and any approved and funded projects as part of its Annual Action Plan submission.
ACCESS TO INFORMATION AND RECORDS
Any citizen, organization, or other interested party may submit written requests for information regarding the Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plan, AFH, or CAPER, including the City’s use of funds under the CDBG, HOME, or ESG programs and the benefit to low- to moderate-income residents during the preceding five years. Copies of the Consolidated Plan, Annual Action Plan, Citizen Participation Plan, CAPER, AFH, amendments or revisions to these Plans, and documents regarding other important program requirements including contracting procedures, environmental policies, fair housing/equal opportunity requirements and relocation provisions, are available to the public during the City’s regular business hours, Monday through Friday 8:00 am-5:00 pm and every other Friday from 8:00 am-5:00 pm, in the City’s Housing Department located at 435 South D Street, Oxnard, CA 93030. Additional information may be obtained by calling (805) 385-7959 or (805) 385-7493. Upon request, the City will make all information available in a format accessible to persons with disabilities. 12 | Page

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
To encourage the submission of views and proposals regarding the Consolidated Plan and Annual Action Plan—especially from residents of target areas and groups representing low- and moderate-income individuals—the City will offer technical assistance to those seeking funding under these programs. This assistance, available upon request, will include resources such as sample proposals, as well as program regulations and guidelines. The goal is to facilitate meaningful participation and ensure that all voices are heard in the planning process.
COMMENT AND COMPLAINT PROCESS
The City will consider any comments from citizens received in writing or orally at public hearings in preparing this Citizen Participation Plan, the Consolidated Plan, Annual Plan, CAPER, AFH, and/or substantial amendments to these plans. A summary of all comments will be attached and submitted to HUD.
The City will respond to written complaints received relating to the Consolidated Plan, Annual Plan, AFH, CAPER, and/or substantial amendments. Written complaints must describe the objection and provide contact information of the complainant. The city will respond to complaints within fifteen (15) working days of receiving the written complaint, acknowledging the letter and identifying a plan of action, if necessary.

CHANGES IN FEDERAL FUNDING LEVEL
Any changes in the federal funding level after the comment period of either the Draft Consolidated Plan and/or the Draft Annual Action Plan has expired, the resulting effect on the distribution of funds will not be considered an amendment or a substantial amendment.
ASSURANCES
The City of Oxnard assures that the most diligent effort will be made to comply with the process and procedures outlined in this 2026-2029 Citizen Participation Plan.
ANTI-DISPLACEMENT
The City of Oxnard strives to avoid and minimize the displacement of individuals as a result of HUD funded activities. Therefore, to the greatest extent possible, the City:
● Will consider the impact of displacement in the site selection, during the project planning phase.
● Will provide information to displaced individuals on available assistance and relocations benefits.
To further minimize displacement and assist any persons displaced as a result of governmental actions, the City of Oxnard adopted a Residential Anti-Displacement and Relocation Assistance Plan as part of the City’s Citizen Participation Plan on May 7, 2024. The updated provisions of that plan are provided below.
RESIDENTIAL ANTI-DISPLACEMENT AND RELOCATION ASSISTANCE PLAN This Residential Anti-Displacement and Relocation Assistance Plan (RARAP) is prepared by the City of Oxnard (City) in accordance with the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended; and Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) regulations at 24 CFR 42.325 and is applicable to the City’s CDBG, including the Section 108 Loan Guarantee Program, and HOME-assisted projects.
Section 104(d) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended (HCD Act), and HUD’s CDBG program regulations provide that, as a condition for receiving 14 | Page

DRAFT
assistance, as a grantee, the City must certify that it is following a Residential Anti-Displacement and Relocation Assistance Plan (RARAP), which contains two major components:
1. A requirement to replace all occupied and vacant occupiable low-moderate-income dwelling units that are demolished or converted to a use other than low-moderate-income housing in connection with an activity assisted under the HCD Act and 24 CFR 570.606(c)(1)); and
2. A requirement to provide certain relocation assistance to any lower income person displaced as a direct result of (1) the demolition of any dwelling unit or (2) the conversion of a low/moderate-income dwelling unit to a use other than a low/moderate-income dwelling in connection with an assisted activity.
Minimize Displacement
Consistent with the goals and objectives of activities assisted under the Act, Oxnard will take the following steps to minimize the direct and indirect displacement of persons from their homes:
● Coordinate code enforcement with rehabilitation and housing assistance programs; ● Stage rehabilitation of apartment units to allow tenants to remain in the building complex during and after the rehabilitation, working with empty units first; ● Where feasible, give priority to rehabilitation of housing in lieu of demolition to minimize displacement;
● If feasible, demolish or convert only dwelling units that are unoccupied or vacant occupiable1 dwelling units, especially if units are lower-income units as defined in 24 CFR 42.305; and
● Target only those properties deemed essential to the need or success of the project.
Relocation Assistance to Displaced Persons
The City will provide relocation assistance for lower-income tenants who, in connection with an activity assisted under the CDBG and HOME Programs, move permanently or move personal property from real property as a direct result of the demolitions of any dwelling unit or the 1 A vacant occupiable dwelling unit means a vacant dwelling unit that is in a standard condition; a vacant dwelling unit that is in a substandard condition, but is suitable for rehabilitation; or a dwelling unit in any condition that has been occupied (except by a squatter) at any time within the period beginning three months before the date of execution of the agreement by the recipient covering the rehabilitation or demolition. 15 | Page

DRAFT
conversion2 of a lower-income dwelling unit3 in accordance with requirements of 24 CFR
42.350. A displaced person who is not a lower-income tenant will be provided relocation assistance in accordance with the Uniform Act, as amended, and implementing regulations at 49 CFR Part 24.
One-for One Replacement of Lower-Income Dwelling Units
In accordance with section 104(d) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974, as amended (HCD Act) (Pub. L. 93-383, 42 U.S. C. 5301 et seq) and the implementing regulations at 24 CFR 42.375, the City will fulfill its obligation of providing one-for-one replacement housing by replacing all occupied and vacant occupiable lower-income dwelling units4 demolished or converted to a use other than lower-income housing in connection with a project assisted with funds provided under the CDBG and HOME Programs.
To that end, the City, in fulfillment of 24 CFR 42.375, will replace all units triggering replacement-housing obligations with comparable lower-income dwelling units. Acceptable replacement units that are provided by the City or private developer will meet these requirements:
● The units will be located within the city and, to the extent feasible and consistent with other statutory priorities, located within the same neighborhood as the units replaced. ● The units must be sufficient in number and size to house no fewer than the number of occupants who could have been housed, as determined by the City’s local housing occupancy codes, in the units that are demolished or converted. ● The units must be provided in standard condition.
● Replacement units must initially be made available for occupancy up to one year prior to the City publishing information regarding the project initiating replacement housing requirements and ending three years after commencing demolition or rehabilitation related to the conversion.
4 The term dwelling as defined by the URA at 49 CFR 24.2(a)(10) includes transitional housing units or non-housekeeping units (SRO) commonly found in HUD programs. An emergency shelter is generally not considered a “dwelling” because such a facility is usually not a place of permanent, transitional or customary and usual residence.
3 A lower-income dwelling unit means a dwelling unit with a market rent (including utility costs) that does not exceed the applicable Fair Market Rent.
2 The term conversion means altering a housing unit to either use the dwelling for non-housing purposes, continue to use a unit for housing; but it fails to meet the definition of lower-income dwelling unit; or it is used as an emergency shelter. If a housing unit continues to be used for housing after completion of the project is not considered a “conversion” insofar as the unit is owned and occupied by a person who owned and occupied the unit before the project.
16 | Page
175
DRAFT
● Replacement units must remain lower income dwelling units for a minimum of ten years from the date of initial occupancy. Replacement lower-income dwelling units may include public housing or existing housing receiving Section 8 project-based assistance.
Disclosure and Reporting Requirements
Before entering into a contract committing the City to provide funds for a project that will directly result in demolition or conversion of lower income dwelling units, the City will make public by publishing in a newspaper of general circulation and will submit to HUD the following information in writing:
1. A description of the proposed assisted project.
2. The address, number of bedrooms and location on a map of lower-income dwelling units that will be demolished or converted to a use other than as lower-income dwelling units as a result of and assisted project.
3. A time schedule for the commencement and completion of the demolition or conversion.
4. To the extent known, the address, number of lower-income dwelling units by size (number of bedrooms) and location on a map of at the replacement lower-income housing that has been or will be provided.
5. The source of funding and a time schedule for the provision of the replacement dwelling units.
6. The basis for concluding that each replacement dwelling unit will remain a lower income dwelling unit for at least ten years from the date of initial occupancy.
7. Information demonstrating that any proposed replacement of lower-income dwelling units with smaller dwelling units (e.g., a two-bedroom unit with two one-bedroom units), or any proposed replacement of efficiency or single-room occupancy (SRO) units with units or a different size, is appropriate and consistent with the housing needs and priorities identified in the HUD-approved Consolidated Plan and 24 CFR 42.375(b).
To the extent that the specific location of the replacement dwelling units and other data in items four through seven are unavailable at the time of the general submission, the City will identify the general locations of such dwelling units on a map and complete the disclosure and submission requirements as soon as the specific data is available. 17 | Page
176
DRAFT
Replacement not Required Based on Unit Availability
Under 24 CFR 42.375(d), the City may submit a request to HUD for a determination that the one-to-one replacement requirement does not apply based on objective data that there is an adequate supply of vacant lower income dwelling units in standard condition available on a non-discriminatory basis within the area.

BACKGROUND
The Campus Park Activation Project represents a multi-phased capital investment in the City’s adopted Capital Improvement Program (CIP) and is organized into three distinct but interrelated CIP projects:
• Phase I-Campus Park Activation
• Phase II-Campus Park
• Phase III-Campus Park
193
Collectively, these phases implement the City’s long-term vision to transform approximately 26 acres of public land into a vibrant, inclusive, and nature-based community destination reflective of Oxnard’s culture, identity, and recreational needs. The Campus Park project is the culmination of more than ten years of community interest, planning efforts, sustained coordination, and a transformational investment in Oxnard’s parks and open space system, grounded in community vision, equity, and environmental stewardship. The Campus Park project supports public health, social engagement, and environmental sustainability goals. The project site is currently underutilized and lacks the infrastructure and amenities necessary to serve the surrounding community.
Phase I constitutes the core park development and includes the primary infrastructure and amenities necessary to activate the site for public use. Phases II and III build upon this foundation by adding complementary improvements, expanded amenities, and enhancements that further realize the full buildout of Campus Park as envisioned in the CIP.
Although originally programmed as separate projects for funding and planning purposes, the design of Campus Park has advanced in a coordinated and integrated manner. As a result, the currently completed design documents incorporate improvements spanning the Activation Phase Phases II, and Phase III. To maximize construction efficiency, reduce mobilization costs, and streamline project delivery, City staff has bundled all currently designed and funded improvements into a single set of engineering plans that were bid together. This approach allows the delivery of a more complete park in the near term while maintaining alignment with the broader CIP structure and grant requirements.
The Project scope aims to transform Campus Park into a fully developed recreational and community asset and includes furnishing all labor, materials, equipment, and incidentals necessary to construct a wide range of site improvements consisting of the construction of a skatepark, pump track, walking paths, an alluvial wash, mult-purpose lawns, an inclusive playground, a pavilion, a pelota Mixteca court, meadows, a community garden, a pre-fabricated restroom, landscaping, irrigation and lighting throughout, and all other appurtenant and associated work.
The work for Campus Park is tentatively scheduled to begin in June 2026 and continue for 260 working days absent any delays for supply chain issues, unforeseen site conditions or weather. Staff will work closely with the Fremont South, Fremont North, Wilson Neighborhood Councils, and Friends of Campus Park to keep them informed of the schedule and will also work closely with the neighborhoods and residents directly impacted by the work to keep them informed of the project schedule. General project information will be disseminated to help keep the public informed as well.

DISCUSSION
CIP Phasing and Project Delivery Strategy
The Campus Park project is structured as a phased capital program to align with funding availability, grant requirements, and long-term implementation goals.
Activation Project (Phase I)
Phase I represents the primary construction effort and includes major site development and recreational amenities such as the skatepark, pump track, playground, walking paths, alluvial wash, multi-use lawns, pavilion, pelota Mixteca court, community garden, pre-fabricated restroom, and associated infrastructure throughout (lighting, irrigation, landscaping, and utilities).
To improve cost-effectiveness and minimize redundant construction activities, Phase I construction has been expanded to include select improvements that were originally planned under later phases but are fully designed and funded at this time. These include full buildout of the community garden (rather than a partial buildout), enhanced playground amenities 194
(additional steppers, musical elements, and a merry-go-round), shade structures at the skatepark and pavilion, bicycle parking, expanded walking paths, additional seating areas, and increased multi-use lawn space. Bundling these improvements into a single contract reduces mobilization costs and accelerates community access to a more comprehensive range of park amenities.
Phase II/III Expansion Park Elements
Phases II & III, to be designed and constructed at a later date consistent with their grant requirements, are intended to expand upon the Phase I improvements and includes features such as shade trees, entry garden, a community orchard, dog park, airplane viewing mound, cultural garden, interpretive signage, rainwater capture elements, additional trails, additional restrooms, expanded landscaping, hardscaping, supplemental amenities, and supporting facilities.
These improvements are intended to complete the park and enhance functionality based on community needs. Some laterphased elements, particularly the dog park area amenities, are only partially funded and are therefore not included in the present construction contract. These elements will be delivered through future CIP appropriations, grant opportunities, or alternative funding strategies.
This phased, yet integrated approach, ensures that Campus Park is developed efficiently while maintaining flexibility to adapt to funding constraints and opportunities.
Construction Contract
The Notice Inviting Formal Bids (NIFB) for the Project was originally published on December 11, 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 69 contractors who have registered with the City to be notified of Public Project bids within their license category. All bids were opened on February 4, 2026, and the City received the following bids:
Urban Habitat: $12,688,141.63
Los Angeles Engineering, Inc: $14,768,200.00
Toro Enterprises: $16,081,757.25
Environmental Construction, Inc: $16,485,282.48
Ardalan Construction Company Inc: $19,697, 574.00
The lowest bidder is Urban Habitat (Urban) and its bid is responsive to the City’s NIFB. Following this determination, procurement staff reviewed all documentation received from Urban 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 Urban.
The base bid of the project included the work items to construct a skatepark, pump track, walking paths, an alluvial wash, multipurpose lawns, an inclusive playground, a pavilion, a pelota Mixteca court, meadows, a community garden, a prefabricated restroom, landscaping, irrigation and lighting throughout, and all other appurtenant and associated work.
Additionally, the packet requested pricing from bidders on possible additive items. These are items that, at the time of putting out the bid packet, staff was not certain would be possible due to the identified project funding. There were a total of 8 additive items. Additive items 1-8 were for a Pavilion Shade Structure and Foundations, Shade sails and Foundations at the Skate Park, Additional Playground Equipment (Mushroom Steppers, Mushroom-Ensemble, Marimba, Lilypad Cymbals, We-Go-Round) and the synthetic resilient surfacing at the playground.
Public Works staff recommends the City Council award a construction contract to Urban that includes the base bid and all additive items.
Construction Management Services
The current and planned City staff workload and complexity of the project are such that contracted resources are 195
recommended to properly manage the construction phase of this project. All City project managers currently have full workloads, and their available time resources would likely be insufficient to manage the construction of this project at the level of attention it requires. Additionally, temporary (i.e., military leave) and longer-term (i.e., recent resignation) vacancies of in-house construction project manager positions are impacting the team’s workload.
The request for proposals (RFP) for these construction management services was published on January 5, 2026, and was due on February 9, 2026. The City received a total of four proposals, and three were deemed complete and responsive.
These proposals were then reviewed by three staff members, consisting of a senior project manager, a grant management and budget administrative analyst, and an engineering division manager. Proposals were scored using the following criteria: Company Profile and Qualifications, Assigned Staff Experience, Relevant Project Experience, and Project Approach, Understanding and Level of Effort.
After a thorough review, Filippin Engineering, Inc. (Filippin) was selected as the most qualified firm to provide construction management services for the project. This selection was based on the firm’s extensive construction management experience, including successful completion of other City projects, as well as an understanding and familiarity with the Engineering Division's needs, and dedicated local staff presence. City staff has confirmed that Filippin meets all required City contractual provisions, including possession of a City business tax certificate, insurance certificates and corporate filing with the California Secretary of State.
Filippin Engineering will provide comprehensive construction management services, including full-time oversight, coordination, scheduling, and cost control, acting as the City’s representative throughout construction. The firm will deliver inspection and materials testing services to ensure all work complies with plans, specifications, and applicable standards. Services also include Native American monitoring to ensure compliance with cultural resource requirements and regulatory protocols during ground-disturbing activities as required by the project’s CEQA documents. Filippin Engineering will support public outreach efforts, including construction notifications and stakeholder coordination. In addition, the firm will provide grant administration services, ensuring compliance with state and federal funding requirements, tracking eligible costs, and supporting reporting and reimbursement processes. The proposed cost for these services is $1,780,217 with $1,480,490.00 coming from grant funding.
The budget appropriation of $299,727.00 from the Local Development Impact Fees Fund (350, subfund 8020, Parks and Recreation Fee) is recommended to fund professional services costs that are not eligible for grant reimbursement.
Moore, Iacofano, Goltsman, Inc. (MIG) Contract Amendment On June 4, 2019, the City Council authorized submission of an $8.5 million Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program (SPP) grant application for the Campus Park Activation Project, informed by six community workshops that shaped the conceptual design and overall project vision. The City was subsequently awarded the grant on February 20, 2020, and entered into a professional services agreement with Moore, Iacofano, Goltsman, Inc. (MIG) to provide landscape architecture and engineering design services, cost analysis, and preparation of plans and specifications.
As the project transitions into implementation, additional professional services are required to support continued design refinement, supplemental surveying, and field verification activities necessary to advance the project into construction.
Further coordination is also required due to the Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) Well capital project, which has introduced the need for minor revisions to the civil and landscape plans. Accordingly, an amendment to MIG’s contract is required to incorporate Additional Service Request No. 4 to address these design revisions and associated coordination efforts during construction.
Public Works staff recommends the City Council execute a Fourth Amendment with Moore, Iacofano, Goltsman, Inc. in the amount of $10,700.00 to perform landscape architecture and design construction support services.
Project Summary
In addition to the construction award amount of $12,688,141.63, Staff recommends authorizing $3,359,731.00 for the project, which includes $1,268,814.00 for project contingency (~10% of the contract costs) and $2,080,217.00 for the cost of engineering services and City staff (~16% of the contract cost), which includes the cost of the construction management contract. Engineering services include the following activities during construction: engineering, inspection, 196
survey, project management, and construction management. Additionally, an amendment to the design contract in the amount of $10,700.00 is requested. These recommendations bring the total estimated cost of the project to $16,047,872.63.
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.

The purpose of the Quality of Life strategy is to restore and increase quality services and programs that enrich Oxnard's diverse community, promotes safe neighborhoods, encourages community engagement, and supports our residents in their efforts to improve their quality of life.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Project Cost Summary
Staff recommends authorizing a total project budget of $16,047,872.63, including $12,688,141.63 for construction (Urban Habitat), $2,080,217 for the cost of construction management and engineering services and City staff (~16% of the contract cost), $1,268,814.00 for construction contingency (~10%) and $10,700.00 for future design refinement and surveying.
Campus Park is supported by a combination of local and external funding sources distributed across the three CIP phases.
These include:
• Multiple State and local grant programs
• Federal grant programs
• Development Impact Fees (DIF)
• General Fund Contributions (future phases)
Use of these funds is subject to grant requirements, including eligible cost categories, implementation timelines, and reporting obligations.
Activation Project (Phase I) - Funding
Phase I is primarily funded through State and Federal grant programs, including the Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program (SPP) and the federal Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership Program (ORLP). The SPP Grant has no match requirement. The SPP Grant is serving as the 1:1 construction match for the ORLP Grant. The Construction Engineering, Project & Construction Management portions for the ORLP match is a combination of Urban Greening, Clean California Cycle II, and Development Impact Fees (DIF) funds.
The Outdoor Recreation Legacy Partnership, which the Office of Grants and Local Services (OGALS) confirmed in writing on April 14, 2026, to be awarded to the City, has a total award amount of $6,699,404. The award amount will be appropriated under the Campus Park Activation Project C2104, via administrative resolution.
The project currently has an available balance of $13.36 million for the Activation Project (Phase I).
Phase II Elements - Funding
Phase II is primarily funded through State grant programs, including the Urban Greening Grant Program. These funds are designated for specific eligible improvements such as the urban greening elements, shade infrastructure, and environmental enhancements. There is no match requirement for the Urban Greening Grant.
The project currently has an available balance of $3.97 million for Phase II. 197
Phase III Elements - Funding
Phase III is primarily funded through the Clean California Local Grant Program (CCLGP) Cycle 2. These funds are intended to support completion-level improvements, including additional park amenities and supporting infrastructure.
Some of these funds are contingent upon timing requirements and may rely on Phase II expenditures as matching components. This grant requires matching contributions, which are being satisfied by the Urban Greening Grant, in the amount of $442,000.
The project currently has an available balance of $3.43 million for Phase III.
The Urban Greening Project (C2328) has a total available project budget balance of $3,979,253, with $3,479,253 from the State Grants Fund (210) and $500,000 from the General Fund (101).
The Clean California Cycle 2 Project (C2563) has a total available project budget balance of $3,434,000 from the State Grants Fund (210).

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.
