SUBJECT: SECOND READING AND ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 3987.1 OF ARTICLE III CHAPTER 12 OF THE PORT
HUENEME MUNICIPAL CODE TO REDUCE THE MAXIMUM NUMBER
OF COMMERCIAL CANNABIS BUSINESSES ALLOWED IN THE CITY
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that City Council read, by title only, waiving further reading, and adopt, an Ordinance entitled “An Ordinance of the City Council of the City of Port Hueneme, California, amending Section 3987.1 of Article III Chapter 12 of the Port Hueneme Municipal Code to amend the maximum number of cannabis businesses permitted to operate in the City of Port Hueneme”.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
On February 2, 2026, the City Council held a public hearing for a first reading to introduce an Ordinance to amend Section 3987.1 of Article III Chapter 12 of the Port Hueneme Municipal Code. The amendment modifies Code language to reduces the maximum number of cannabis businesses that would be permitted to operate in the City. The proposed amendment would not adversely impact businesses with existing approvals to operate.
Said Ordinance has been legally noticed, as required by law, and copies of documentation are on file in the Office of the City Clerk.
Should the City Council adopt the updated Ordinance, the Ordinance will take effect on the 31st day after adoption.
For additional information, the City Council agenda packet from the February 2, 2026 City Council meeting for the subject public hearing; which includes supporting documentation such as the staff report and Ordinance, can be found at:

STRATEGIC PLAN:
Primary Strategic Pillar(s) and Initiative(s):
Innovation & Opportunity
• Retain and maximize opportunities for local businesses as the backbone of our community

TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: James Vega, City Manager
Fred Camarillo, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: INTRODUCTION OF ORDINANCE AUTHORIZING JOB ORDER
CONTRACTING (JOC) AND JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT AUTHORITY
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council introduce for first reading, by title only, waiving further reading of an Ordinance entitled, “An ordinance of the City Council of the City of Port Hueneme, California, authorizing the use of Job Order Contracting (JOC) as an alternative public works project delivery method and establishing procedures and limitations of the City of Port Hueneme Municipal Code and adding section 2575 “Job Order Contracts”.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
The City routinely undertakes maintenance, repair, renovation, and minor construction projects that are repetitive. Traditional design-bid-build procurement for each project can be time-consuming and administratively burdensome. Job Order Contracting (JOC) is a recognized delivery method used by numerous public agencies in California to expedite such projects through competitively bid unit prices and adjustment factors.
The proposed ordinance adds Section 2575 to the Municipal Code. Proposed Section 2575 establishes procedures for competitively bidding and awarding JOC contracts, including dollar limits, task order issuance, and compliance requirements. This proposed section also authorizes the City Manager to enter into JPAs with agencies that have statutory authority to use JOC, allowing the City to leverage regional resources and pricing catalogs.
Benefits of JOC include faster project delivery, cost predictability through pre-established unit prices, and reduced administrative overhead. The proposed Ordinance also ensures compliance with prevailing wage laws, skilled and trained workforce mandates, and CEQA.

Adoption of Ordinance Job Order Contracting
January 20, 2026
01497.0006 2078527.1
FISCAL IMPACT:
None. This item does not require an expenditure of funds. Future JOC contracts will be funded through approved project budgets. JOC is expected to reduce procurement costs and accelerate delivery of maintenance and repair projects.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The ordinance is not subject to CEQA under Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because it has no potential for resulting in a significant physical change to the environment.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Primary Strategic Pillar(s) and Initiative(s):
Optimal Levels of Service for Residents and Businesses

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PORT HUENEME,
CALIFORNIA, AUTHORIZING THE USE OF JOB ORDER CONTRACTING (JOC) AS AN ALTERNATIVE PUBLIC WORKS PROJECT DELIVERY METHOD
AND ESTABLISHING PROCEDURES AND LIMITATIONS OF THE CITY OF PORT HUENEME MUNICIPAL CODE AND ADDING SECTION 2575 “JOB ORDER CONTRACTS”
WHEREAS, The City Council finds that the City routinely undertakes maintenance, repair, renovation, and minor construction projects that are repetitive in nature, require timely execution, and benefit from pre‑established unit pricing and streamlined procurement; and WHEREAS, Job Order Contracting (JOC) is a recognized indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity construction delivery method employing a unit price catalog and competitively bid adjustment factors, used by numerous public agencies in California to accelerate delivery and reduce administrative overhead while maintaining budgetary control and transparency; and WHEREAS, the City intends to implement JOC procedures substantially similar to those prescribed for state agencies by PCC § 10113.1 et seq. (Department of General Services) and used operationally by Caltrans, adapted to municipal needs and legal context; and WHEREAS, the City Council declares that authorizing JOC as an optional delivery method will not preclude the use of traditional delivery methods (e.g., design‑bid‑build), but will provide the City with an additional, compliant tool to efficiently deliver eligible public works projects.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PORT HUENEME, CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1: RECITALS AND FINDINGS. The above recitals are all true and correct and incorporated herein.
SECTION 2: ADDITION TO CODE. Chapter 6, “General Administration”, Part FG, “Public Projects – Bidding and Procedures”, of the City of Port Hueneme Municipal Code is hereby amended by the addition of a new section, section 2575 – “Job Order Contracts” to read as follows.
“Section 2575. Job Order Contracts(JOC).
a) A Job Order Contract (JOC) is a construction contract for minor or recurring construction tasks, including repair, remodeling, or other repetitive work, with a firm, fixed price, and indefinite quantity awarded on a unit price basis for all necessary labor, materials, and equipment. A JOC may not be awarded for any new construction. b) JOC procurement.
i) Except as set forth in this Section, JOCs are subject to Chapter 6, part G. ii) Any advertisement for bids and specifications shall contain a maximum dollar amount of the JOC not to exceed $3,000,000.00. Any cumulative change orders to a JOC shall not result in a contract exceeding $3,000,000.00. This maximum amount shall be adjusted annually to reflect the percentage change in the California Consumer Price Index for Ventura County.
c) Issuance of Task Orders.
i) A task order is an authorization to perform construction work under a JOC. ii) Each task order shall include a detailed scope of work and time certain for completion of work. The task order price shall be no more than the sum of the applicable line items using the unit prices in the contract modified by the bid adjustment factor.

Agenda Item No. 04 Page 3 of 6 CC Agenda 02-17-2026
Ordinance No. ___, Page 2 of 4
iii) The City Manager, or his/her designee, shall have authority to issue task orders not to exceed the dollar amount specified in Chapter 6, Part G section 2572. d) Authorization to enter JPA.
The City Council authorizes the City Manager, or designee, to negotiate and execute a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) with one or more public agencies that possess statutory authority under the California Public Contract Code to utilize JOC, for the purpose of enabling the City to access and issue job orders under such JOC contracts. i) Scope of Shared Authority. Under the JPA, the City may:
(1) Utilize JOC contracts competitively procured and administered by the partner agency in compliance with applicable law;
(2) Issue job orders for eligible projects within the City’s jurisdiction, subject to the terms of the JPA and the partner agency’s JOC program requirements; (3) Ensure compliance with all prevailing wage, skilled and trained workforce, subcontracting, and reporting requirements.
ii) Limitations. The City shall not delegate its legislative authority or financial oversight under this section. All job orders issued under a JPA shall be subject to City budget approval and administrative controls established by the City Manager.” SECTION 3: ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW. The Council exercises its independent judgment and finds that the proposed ordinance is not subject to California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 16060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment), and Section 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because the proposed ordinance has no potential for resulting in any significant physical change to the environment, either directly or indirectly.
SECTION 4: SEVERABILITY. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this Ordinance is held to be invalid or unconstitutional by any court of competent jurisdiction for any reason, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance.
The Council declares that it would have adopted each section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or portion of this Ordinance irrespective of whether one or more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses, phrases, or portions of this Ordinance be declared invalid or unconstitutional.
SECTION 5: EFFECTIVE DATE. This Ordinance shall take effect 30 days after its final passage and adoption.
SECTION 6: CERTIFICATION. The City Clerk of the City is hereby directed to certify to the passage and adoption of this Ordinance and to cause it to be published as required by law.

DATE: February 17, 2026
TO: Honorable City Council
FROM: James Vega, City Manager
SUBJECT: VETERANS BANNER PROGRAM
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council receive a proposal from the Veterans Advisory Ad Hoc Committee and/or REACH regarding a Veterans Banner Program, and consider adopting a Resolution approving the creation of a Veterans Banner Program and approving a donation from REACH.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
At the April 7, 2025, City Council meeting, the City Council passed a motion to create a Veterans Advisory Ad Hoc Committee. The committee’s purpose is to develop recommendations and advise the Council on whether or not a Veteran’s Commission, or alternative format body, is needed to advise the City Council on veteran-related matters, such as developing resource lists, facilitating connections, and organizing veteran and military-related events, and determine whether a permanent commission is recommended.
On November 3, 2025, the City Council received a request from REACH to consider a veteran recognition banner project. At that meeting, on a motion from Mayor McQueenLegohn and a Second by Mayor Pro Tem Lopez, the City Council tasked REACH and the Veterans Advisory Ad Hoc Committee (and other external parties as needed) to prepare information needed for Council to consider such a request (such as qualifications, description of banners, and a plan) and return to Council. The motion passed. The City Council also voted to appoint Councilmember Lopez as the Council liaision to the program.
The Veterans Advisory Ad Hoc Committee and REACH nonprofit have collaborated on such a program, and are proposing the attached guidelines and application for a banner program. Key elements of the program include:
• Eligibility: Criteria establishing who is eligible for such a banner including active-duty service members, Veterans, Veteran Reservists, and Gold Star or Memorial honorees who either reside in Agenda Item No. 05 Page 1 of 16 CC Agenda 02-17-2026
Veterans Advisory Ad Hoc Update

• Locations included Hueneme Road (from Ventura Road to Surfside Drive), Ventura Road (from Pleasant Valley Road to Naval Base Ventura County Sunkist Gate), and Surfside Drive (from Hueneme Road to Hueneme Beach Park).
• Placement: Banners will be placed by City staff, with costs covered by REACH donations. • Fees: $160 application fee (fee is intended to cover cost of printing the banner) with subsidy from REACH donations (to cover additional costs such as staff time, hardware, etc.). • Program may be paused if donated funds are not available – no general fund budget impact anticipated.
• Additional details in the attached documents.
Additionally, as REACH is proposing funding this program utilizing donations, the City Council may also consider approving a donation request form from REACH.
The City Council may adopt the Resolution approving the implementation of such a program, or may provide additional direction as desired.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Banners will be placed as donated funding is available to cover the costs associated with the banner. To ensure no impact on General Fund, the program may be paused if donated funds are not available until such time additional funds are raised.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Primary Strategic Pillar(s) and Initiative(s):

SUBJECT: ACCEPT DESIGN FOR CITY HALL AND MORANDA PARK TURNKEY
TURF REMOVAL PROJECT
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that City Council accept and approve the design concept for the turf removal project in partnership with Inland Empire Utilities Agency (IEUA) for the Turnkey Turf Transformation Program (Program).
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
On April 7, 2025, City Council authorized staff to accept a grant, and enter into an agreement with the IEUA. The IEUA established a regional program aimed at enhancing water conservation and promoting sustainable water management efforts. As part of the initiative, the City of Port Hueneme was invited to participate in a grant-funded project that aligns with the City’s environmental and water resource goals.
The Program offered the city the ability for removal of non-functional turf, at no cost, along with the installation of California-friendly landscapes and efficient irrigation systems.
Additionally, it included participation in a public relations campaign and involvement in any Program-related studies or evaluations. The grant amount allocated to the City for the program is $710,943.33.
City Hall and Moranda Park were identified as candidates for turf removal and replacement with drought-tolerant plants from the City's approved plant palette. The Program’s landscape services will be completed by one of IEUA’s pre-qualified contractors. Acceptance and approval of the design is the final step before implementation.
Approval of the design will enable the City to implement innovative water conservation techniques and add landscape enhancements to City Hall and Moranda Park. The City’s participation aligns with its commitment to sustainability and resource efficiency. These efforts will also demonstrate the City’s proactive approach to preparing for compliance with the AB 1572 non-functional turf ban while advancing long-term water conservation goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the Turnkey Turf Transformation (T3) Program? The Turnkey Turf Transformation (T3) Program is a regional water‑saving initiative led by the Inland Empire Utilities Agency (IEUA) in partnership with other Southern California water agencies. The program focuses on replacing nonfunctional turf—grass that is decorative and not actively used—with California‑friendly, drought‑tolerant landscaping and high‑efficiency irrigation systems. The program is considered “turnkey” because it manages the entire process from site assessment and landscape design to turf removal, installation, and final inspection, making participation easy for qualifying properties.
2. Does this project use plastic or artificial turf?
No. The T3 Program does not use plastic, synthetic, or artificial turf. All landscape conversions rely on living, climate‑appropriate plants and natural materials designed to improve water efficiency, soil health, and environmental benefits. The goal is to create sustainable landscapes that support long‑term water conservation and ecosystem health.
3. Why is turf being replaced?
Nonfunctional turf requires large amounts of water and maintenance while providing little practical benefit. Replacing this type of turf helps conserve limited water resources, reduces long‑term maintenance needs, and supports California’s water efficiency goals.
The program also helps properties align with evolving state regulations that restrict the use of potable water for irrigating nonfunctional turf at non‑residential sites.
4. What types of landscaping are installed?
Landscapes installed through the T3 Program typically include native and drought‑tolerant plants selected for their ability to thrive in Southern California’s climate.
These plantings are paired with efficient irrigation systems, such as drip irrigation and smart controllers, to minimize water use while maintaining healthy, attractive landscapes. Designs are customized to each site and focus on durability, aesthetics, and water savings.
5. How does this program help save water?
The program significantly reduces outdoor water use by removing water‑intensive turf and replacing it with plants that require far less irrigation. In addition, upgraded irrigation systems deliver water more precisely and efficiently, reducing runoff, overspray, and waste. Together, these improvements can lead to substantial and long‑lasting water savings at participating sites.
6. Who is eligible to participate in the program?
Eligibility depends on the participating water agency and the type of site. The T3 Program Attachment A
Agenda Item No. 06 Page 3 of 11 CC Agenda 02-17-2026
primarily targets qualifying non‑residential properties, such as public facilities, commercial properties, and community spaces located within the IEUA service area or partner agency boundaries. Each site is evaluated to confirm it meets program criteria before moving forward.
7. Who is leading the T3 Program?
The T3 Program is led by the Inland Empire Utilities Agency (IEUA) in collaboration with partner water agencies and participating cities throughout the region. These agencies work together to plan, fund, and implement landscape transformations that support regional water conservation and sustainability goals.
8. Where can I find official information about the program? Official information about the Turnkey Turf Transformation Program, including program details and updates, is available on IEUA’s website at: https://www.ieua.org/turnkeyturf/ Agenda Item No. 06 Page 4 of 11 CC Agenda 02-17-2026
AB 1572 Regulation Fact Sheet
1. What is Non-Functional Turf?
The State regulation defines “Non-functional Turf” as:
Turf that is solely ornamental and not regularly used for human recreational purposes or civic or community events. Non-functional turf does not include sports fields, golf courses, and turf that is regularly used for human recreational purposes or civic or community events.
2. Who does the regulation apply to?
The State regulation prohibits the use of potable water to irrigate non-functional turf only at CII sites. The state regulation defines CII as:
Commercial water users, industrial water users, and institutional water users as respectively defined in Water Code, section 10608.12, subdivisions (e), (i), and (j), and includes homeowner’s associations, common interest developments, community service organizations, and other similar entities but does not include the residences of these entities’ members or separate interests.
3. Does the regulation apply to residential properties? No, per the State’s definition of CII, the regulation does not apply to residential properties and residential customers may continue to irrigate turf, subject to COPH’s demand reduction actions in effect. This regulation does not include residential properties within a homeowner’s association.
4. If the regulation only applies to potable water, what is potable water? The regulation only applies to COPH customers who receive potable water through the domestic water system.
Therefore, non-functional turf irrigated by private wells, recycled water, or canal water is not impacted by the State’s regulation.
5. Are there exceptions to the non-functional turf irrigation regulation? Yes, the regulation does not apply to residential lawns or any turf regularly used for human recreational purposes, such as community spaces, sports fields, and other turf spaces used for recreation or events. Also, the regulation does not ban the irrigation of trees or other non-turf plantings.
6. May I continue to water trees and other non-turf plantings planted among non-functional turf? Yes, the regulation allows for the continued irrigation of trees and non-turf plantings even if non-functional turf, such as turf directly under trees. Customers may be eligible for rebates to offset a portion of the cost to upgrade irrigation systems.
7. How long is the regulation in effect?
This is a permanent regulation.
Attachment B
Agenda Item No. 06 Page 5 of 11 CC Agenda 02-17-2026
Impact on Homeowner’s Associations (HOAs) & HOA Residents
8. Does the regulation apply to HOAs?
Yes, but only to non-functional turf on property that the HOA owns, not residences. An individual homeowner’s property is considered residential, whereas property owned and maintained by an HOA is considered the same as landscapes owned and maintained by CII. Therefore, the regulation does not prevent homeowners from irrigating turf; it prohibits the irrigation of non-functional turf (with potable water) on property the HOA owns. However, the regulation does not apply to turf that is regularly used for recreation and community activities.
9. Who decides if turf owned by the HOA is functional?
An HOA should review areas of turf that it maintains, consult with residents, and determine whether the turf is functional or not. COPH may defer to the HOA’s determinations; however, COPH retains the authority to enforce the irrigation ban if there is a documented violation. HOAs are encouraged to contact COPH to request assistance with a site assessment.
When will this ban take effect?
Compliance will be phased in beginning January 1, 2027:
State, local government, and public agency buildings beginning January 1, 2027.
Institutional properties and all commercial and industrial properties, beginning January 1, 2028.
All common areas of properties of homeowners’ associations, and common interest developments, beginning January 1, 2029.
All properties owned by local governments, local public agencies, and public water systems in a disadvantaged community, beginning January 1, 2031 or when funding is available.
The board may, upon a showing of good cause for reasons including economic hardship, critical business need, and potential impacts to human health or safety, postpone a compliance deadline by up to three years for certain persons, institutions, and businesses, and may create a form to be used for compliance certification to the board by property owners.
An owner of a property with more than 5,000 square feet of irrigated common area that is a homeowners’ association, common interest development, or community service organization or similar entity shall certify to the board, commencing June 30, 2031, and every three years thereafter through 2040, that their property is in compliance with the requirements of this chapter.

SUBJECT: REVIEW OF CITY OF PORT HUENEME LEGISLATIVE PLATFORM RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council review the City’s Legislative Platform, consider amendments and adopt a revised document that will provide guidance and allow staff to advocate for City programs and priorities in the coming year.
CITIZEN ADVISORY COMMISISON RECOMMENDATION:
The Citizen Advisory Commission (CAC) reviewed the Legislative Platform at their January 12, 2026 meeting. CAC voted unanimously to recommend that the City Council revise the current Legislative Platform based on the following input:
o Section I.4 (Labor Relations) – Modify this section to identify legislative initiatives that the City supports, as nearly all current items reflect positions of opposition. o Section I.9 (Economic Development) – Consider language (either in this section or elsewhere in the document) that supports legislation that promotes affordability and combats effects of the high cost of living
o Section III (Public Protection) - The City Council should use this section to state the City’s position with regard to immigrant rights, protections and access to resources (and should consider examples of positions taken by neighboring cities and Ventura County)
o Section VI.1 (Housing) - The City Council should use this section to make clear the City’s position with regard to landlord protections and tenant rights BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
A Legislative Platform facilitates the City’s ability to promptly respond to County, State, and Federal legislation on matters related to City government, since legislation can often move quickly through legislative bodies without sufficient time for the City Council to take formal action. A legislative platform is not intended to weigh in on every potential subject, but is intended to offer a pre-approved list of simple and non-controversial items that the City Council “pre-authorizes” staff to advocate on.
Agenda Item No. 07 Page 1 of 17 CC Agenda 02-17-2026
Legislative Platform
February 17, 2026
On February 6, 2023 the City Council approved Port Hueneme’s current Legislative Platform, and the Platform has been reviewed and revised periodically since that time.
Having this document in place allows the Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, or City Manager to sign correspondence, consistent with the City’s approved positions on pending legislation and without the need for additional formal action of the City Council, expressing the City’s position on pending legislation.
It is prudent to periodically review the City’s legislative platform to ensure it accurately represents the City’s position on various topics.
During last year’s review process, the Council approved the following amendments to the legislative platform: the addition of subsection II.1.i, expressing the Council’s support for legislation advocating for the equitable distribution of sales tax from online sales, and subsection III.5.a–b, supporting legislation that would provide federal and state resources to the City and County for emergency preparedness and emergency response.
As part of the City’s review process, the legislative platform is presented to the Citizen Advisory Commission (CAC) for input and advisory recommendation before Council consideration. As noted in the summary above, CAC reviewed and provided an advisory recommendation related to proposed amendments to the Platform at its January 12, 2026 meeting. As noted, when considering its position on immigrant rights, protections and resources that should be available, CAC recommended that the Council consider the positions that have been taken by neighboring cities and the County of Ventura. If Council wishes to direct staff to research and collect such information before taking action, it may provide such direction as part of its action on this agenda item.
FISCAL IMPACT:
As proposed, the Legislative Platform allows the City staff to have clear Council direction on non-controversial items, which allows staff to advocate on behalf of the city quickly and efficiently and ultimately reduce costs associated with these activities.

Introduction and Purpose
The City of Port Hueneme (“City”) maintains a Legislative Platform to facilitate the City’s quick response to County, State, and Federal legislation in a proactive manner, since legislation can often move quickly through legislative bodies, withoutsufficient time for the City Council to take formal action. The Legislative Platform further serves as a guide for the City Council to consider legislative affairs on an ad hoc basis.
The Mayor, Mayor Pro Tem, or City Manager, is authorized to sign correspondence consistent with the City’s approved positions on pending legislation and without the need for additional formal action of the City Council expressing the City’s position on pending legislation.
City staff monitors State and County legislation for potential impacts to the City. State or Federal legislation may also be brought to staff’s attention by the League of California Cities, Ventura Council of Governments, or other professional organizations for fields such as engineering, water, finance, community development, or public safety.
City positions on pending legislation on topics not included in the Legislative Platform require a vote of the City Council. If warranted, due to complexity, the City Manager may also present pending legislation to the Port Hueneme Water Agency, Housing Authority or other standing committee as appropriate to the topic, for a recommendation prior to City Council consideration.
Nothing in the Legislative Platform is intended to preclude consideration of any legislation by the City Council, regardless of whether it is included in the Legislative Platform.
City positions in support of legislation on a specified topic shall be construed as opposition to something that shall do the opposite, and the reverse is also true. For example, if the Legislative Platform supports increased funding for libraries, it also inherently opposes decreased funding for libraries.
The City may participate in the Legislative Action Day event hosted by the League of California Cities each spring. This event includes updates from the League of California Cities and its lobbyists representing cities’ interests, panel discussions of critical issues, meetings with the City’s representatives in the State Assembly and State Senate, and other networking opportunities. The City’s elected officials and City staff may also participate on the League’s Policy Committees which focus on specific policy areas. Staff Communicates on a regular basis with elected officials and their representatives to address issues that arise in the City that may best be resolved with a legislative action.
Disclaimer: Staff’s recommended positions are made without regard to companion actions that may entail increases in taxation or other revenue sources. Support or opposition to such financial considerations would be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

Georgianna N. Alvarez, City Clerk
SUBJECT: FUTURE AGENDA ITEM REQUESTS
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council receive the following future agenda item requests and provide direction on whether to schedule each item for a future meeting:
1. Request: SUBMITTED BY: Councilmember Lopez, attached; ITEM: “Spring Clean” Community Cleanup Project proposal; STAFF TIME/COST ESTIMATE:
$5,000 as described below.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS:
On October 20, 2025, the City Council approved a process to consider future agenda item requests by requiring each City Councilmember to provide a written explanation of the request one week prior to the City Council meeting. This will allow the Council to receive a clear, written explanation, and to be prepared to discuss whether or not to schedule the item, while also improving clarity for staff and transparency to the community.
This request is for a “Spring Clean” Community Cleanup Project, as described in the attached document. The request includes a proposal for a Spring Clean Community Cleanup Event, approval of specific site locations, and preparation of materials for residents regarding what items can and cannot be placed in the City dumpsters.
City staff has interest in a community cleanup event this year, and our Public Works team had preliminarily begun a rough proposal which would involve 3 locations, Bolker Park, Bubbling Springs Park and Hueneme Beach Park as collection points, with staff and equipment located at each location. A mulch giveaway would also be included to help the City meet SB 1383 requirements. A rough cost estimate for this type of cleanup is $5,000 total for the event.
If a future agenda item is scheduled by City Council, staff will provide detailed information on a proposed cleanup event, and City Council may provide direction as desired.
