HARBOR VISIONING MEETING PROMOTES A

THRIVING REGION

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard—The Channel Islands Harbor visioning meeting set lofty goals, Feb. 28, as the steering committee and public hope its future can mean a thriving area that benefits everyone.

T

HE Harbor, most notably Fisherman’s Wharf, has experienced tough times of late, with broken down

and dilapidated buildings that are mostly empty.

A proposed 400-unit apartment complex to anchor the area received vehement opposition, led by Rene Aiu, and was rejected by the Oxnard City Council and the California Coastal Commission.

The need for a residential anchor remains, as discussed during the meeting, but the harbor has not met with the opposition or Aiu to discuss a compromise.

Harbor Director Mark Sandoval opened the group n Harbor, see page 10

Nguyen accuses Starr of bamboozling the public with Measure M

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard—The Tri County Sentry had an all-inclusive Zoom meeting with Oxnard City Manager Alex Nguyen, Jan. 29 to discuss topics that affect how the city operates.

Nguyen passionately speaks about plenty of issues the city faces, and many times, he faces a lot of blowback from detractors,

like City Treasurer Phil Molina along with Aaron Starr and Alicia Percell from the local group “Moving Oxnard Forward”.

Measure M is something that Nguyen finds challenging to deal with and called it reduced transparency at City Hall.

Measure M, the “Oxnard Open Meetings Act,” won 57.09 percent of the vote and a margin of 8,925 votes. This measure requires that weekday council meetings start

no earlier than 5 p.m., which ended the daytime committee meetings.

Nguyen said there is a legal challenge for Measure M, but he’s unsure where that process sits.

“I saw that Mr. Starr sent out something celebrating it, but aside from him, his spouse (Alicia Percell), and Mr. Molina, I have not heard a single good positive feedback about this nNguyen, see page 3

I’m a little different

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard—I am hearing from multiple people in the last couple of weeks that I am a little different than most people. Oddly enough, this is not the first time I have heard this.

I

T started when I was a baby when I was a breech born baby in the 1950s, so my parents got special permission to baptize me early, so I did not die with original sin.

Anyway, I would always devise these fantastic worlds that I would play in growing up, and my parents would tell people that I was different. I guess that means that I have been different for a long time.

As I moved into my first marriage, it never struck me that there is a time and place to speak my mind. My first wife struggled with this a lot, as does the J-Train, but before long, my first wife decided that I needed to go away.

That’s fine, and it worked out better for both of us, but I remained different and spoke my mind about everything with no filters. That got me in trouble a lot when I was a kitchen manager.

Well, in case you forgot, I changed gears at age

49 and found my niche. At first, I was polite and respectful; then, it started to upset me people were avoiding me and my questions. I asked my father about this, and he told me to double down, and people would stop avoiding the questions if I told my readers and listeners, when I was on the radio, n Frosted, see page 12

NEWS Oxnard releases community survey to residents

money has been dedicated through the federal CARES Act for tenants rent assistance specifically.

“There’s a combined nearly $13 million coming from the feds through the state that is designated for residents of Oxnard,” he said.

“There’s a series of different criteria that determines how much rent-assistance you can get back or how far forward it can go. The bottom line is that it is near $13 million,

best and made the decisionmaking process completely disjointed in terms of the public viewing. He’s made everything much less transparent. In my view, the clever Mr. Starr bamboozled the people yet again. I challenge anyone to tell me how this is an improvement from what we’ve done.”

City staff now creates videos to explain an item, which Nguyen said has not disrupted the day a lot.

“I’m running a local government here,” he said.

“I’m not running Netflix. We do not have the capacity to do a video production, per se, but we were able to do a voice recording as we walk through the presentation.

It’s not great, but on the face of that particular purpose, it works fine, and it is not the end of the world.

What’s insulting is the outcome, and the process is much worse. I would

always be open to investing more resources into making the process better, but here we are, required to add our processes and add staff efforts, not to the benefit of the process, but to the detriment of the process.

When I read the initiative, I knew what would happen.

That’s why I tried to warn people.”

Nguyen pointed out that when the council sets its priorities, he’ll frame the discussion as best he can, but it will be hard to follow.

“I don’t see how anyone watching could understand the conversation 100 percent,” he said. “When we get to the council workshop for priorities, it’s going to be horrible. It’s going to be like walking into Lawrence of Arabia after intermission.

It’s such an important discussion; I am going to do my best to frame the discussion in a way that the

public will understand what we’re doing. Starr told the VC Star that this is better because you can view it ahead of time. That’s utter nonsense because people can always read the information 12 days ahead of time, and they can view the video from the committee ahead of time. He (Starr) hasn’t added an opportunity to view things ahead of time.

He cut off the opportunity to understand the decisionmaking process.”

Nguyen said despite the issues, there is nothing he’s going to do about the changes.

“The public voted for this,” he said. “We are challenging this in court because I don’t believe that a citizen initiative should have the authority to dictate administrative procedure.

What’s next? Is there going to be a ballot initiative about when I can take a lunch

Oxnard—In his report to the city council on Feb. 2, City Manager Alex Nguyen told the group that the city released a continuation survey to the residents to select priorities for the next five years in the community.

“

The workshop for the council is scheduled for Feb. 25, which is a Thursday evening, will focus on selecting the priorities,” he said. “We have the survey;

and all this is going to be programmed this year. The state will be running these programs. We, the city and the county, are going to work to help get people to these programs. We’ll announce them by midMarch in terms of actual applications. The key thing is that if you don’t apply, you won’t find out how much rent assistance you can get. Going forward, we will continue to reach out to our residents, but again, $13 million of federal funds

have been set aside and designated in this round for use by Oxnard residents.

The criterion is a little bit complicated. We will work with people, but if you don’t try to apply, you won’t find out how much rent assistance you can get.”

He noted the meeting took place on Groundhog Day, and that means six more weeks of winter, based on the day’s weather.

“We hope that will mean rain, because we certainly need it,” he said.

and bathroom break? We’re challenging this, but the fact is that the voters passed it, and we’re meeting the letter of the law. People are going to have to live with the fact that we’re going to go through this council priorities workshop, and they’re not going to have a clue about what’s going on.

Imagine what it’s going to be like when we do the budget, and there is no presentation during the night of the decision-making process?

We just show up and say you’ve all looked at it, let’s go, $150 billion. Let’s decide.

It’s outrageously ridiculous, and you can’t be any more anti-democratic. This is the little Fascist in Starr that is breaking through.”

Nguyen said his priority remains a high-functioning transparent city.

“I have to tolerate his behavior because he has money out the wazoo,” he said. “He can buy any initiative he wants because he has the money to get the signatures. I’m hoping that enough people in the public will see through his bull that they won’t support him anymore.”

Nguyen continued from page 1

change,” Nguyen said. “I’ve only heard frustration and confusion.”

Measure M, he said, is another example of Starr bamboozling the public.

“When I got here, I recommended, and the city council adopted the Sunshine Ordinance,” he said. “The staff reports are out there 12 days in advance. We implemented the committee system, so those videos of major items out of the committee were available in advance.

Not only is the staff report available, but the video is available, and people can watch it, read it, or look at it at their convenience, but they always have the option of viewing it the night of the council meeting and seeing the entire story of an issue at the beginning, middle, and end.”

Starr bamboozled the public, he said, because if you can’t review the item in advance at the committee level, they will have no idea about what’s going on when they tune into a council meeting.

“What’s worse than that is that you have to commit the agenda to memory to follow it,” Nguyen said.

“It’s kind of like the old days when you had an intermission at movies. Can you imagine coming into to see Lawrence of Arabia after the intermission?

What this has done is scatter the information, so it is not more transparent. It is scattered transparency at

One truth in life is that it is a must to be able to make a grilled cheese. It is one of the first sandwiches you eat as a kid. And a grilled cheese is still an incredibly satisfying sandwich as an adult.

myself that I actually preferred burnt grilled cheese over a perfectly golden-brown grilled cheese.

So, after many many burnt

attempts at making a great grilled cheese I am proud to say I think I have figured out the secrets. And that is temperature. You have to be

on top of the temperature and make sure the pan isn’t too hot. I find a medium low heat is a good place to start and depending on your burner adjust from there.

The trick is to get the cheese nice and melty without burning the bread. That is the trick and a hard one to master at that, in my opinion!

by Leslie L. Salazar in the Superior Court of California, County of Ventura.

THE PETITION FOR PROBATE requests that Leslie L. Salazar be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval.

Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A HEARING on the petition will be held on 2/25/2021 at 10:30 AM in Department J6 located at 4353 E. Vineyard Avenue, Oxnard, California 93036.

IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court.

If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

SENIORS 805 How to choose a medical alert system companies that offer these products.

Dear Too Many, A good medical alert system is an effective and affordable tool that can help keep your mom safe and living in her own home longer. But with all the different products and features available today, choosing one can be challenging. Here are

some tips that can help.

Three Key Questions Medical alert systems, which have been around since the 1980s, provide a wearable help button—usually in the form of a neck pendant or wristband—that would put your mom in touch with a dispatcher who could summon emergency help or contact a friend or family member as needed.

To help you narrow down your options and choose a system that best fits your mom’s needs, here are three key questions you’ll need to ask, along with some top-rated

3. Should you add a falldetection feature?

Most medical alert companies today now offer the option of an automatic fall detection pendant for an additional fee of $10 to $15 per month. These pendants sense falls when they occur and automatically contact the dispatch center, just as they would if you had pressed the call button.

But be aware that this technology isn’t full proof. In some cases, this feature may register something as a fall that isn’t. The alarm might go off

if you drop it or momentarily lose your balance but don’t actually land on the ground.

Top Rated Systems Here are four top companies, rated by Consumer Reports, that offer home and mobile monitored medical alert systems: • Bay Alarm Medical: Fees range between $20 and $40 per month; BayAlarmMedical. com; 877-522-9633.

• GreatCall’s Lively Mobile Plus: The device costs $50 plus a $25 to $40 monthly service fee; GreatCall.com; 800-6505921.

• MobileHelp: Monthly fees run $20 to $45; MobileHelp.com; 800-8099664.

• Phillips Lifeline: $30 to $50/month, plus a onetime device/activation fee of $50 to $100; Lifeline.Philips.com; 855-681-5351.

2. Should her system be monitored or not?

The best medical alert systems are monitored, meaning that the help button connects you with a trained operator at a 24/7 dispatching center.

But you also have the option to choose a system that isn’t monitored. With these, when you press the help button, the device automatically dials a

friend or family member on your programmed emergency call list.

These products can often be set up to call multiple people and to contact emergency services if you don’t get an answer from someone on your list.

Dear Savvy Senior, I am interested in getting my mom, who lives alone, a medical alert system with a wearable pendant button that will let her call for help if she falls or has a medical emergency. What can you tell me to help me choose one?

Too Many Choices

1. Does your mom want a home-based or mobile system?

Medical alert systems were originally designed to work inside the home with a landline telephone, which is still an option. But since fewer and fewer households have landlines these days, most companies today also offer home-based systems that work over a cellular network. With these systems, pressing the wearable help button allows you to speak to a dispatcher through a base unit located in your home.

In addition, many companies offer mobile medical alert options, too. You can use these systems at home, but they’ll also allow you to call for help while you’re out and about.

Mobile alerts operate

over cellular networks and incorporate GPS technology.

They allow you to talk and listen to the operator directly through the pendant button, and because of the GPS, your location would be known in order for help to be sent.

If your mom doesn’t leave the house very often, she may not need a mobile system, but if she is still active, she may want added protection outside the home.

Taking care of teammates

In a year unlike any other, our company and teammates were called upon to address unprecedented challenges and headwinds in the broader environment, working in support of each other, our clients and the communities where we work and live.

In appreciation of these outstanding efforts, we are recognizing eligible employees with Delivering Together compensation awards. A cash bonus of $750 or additional stock award is the latest step our company has taken to invest in our employees during the health crisis.

We’ve also significantly invested in industry-leading solutions and resources. To help many of our teammates balancing family and work, we provided an enhanced benefit of up to $100 per day for in-home childcare — funding nearly 3 million days of support. And in 2020, we accelerated the move of our U.S. minimum hourly rate of pay to $20, more than a year earlier than originally planned.

Here in the Pacific Coast area, my teammates and I are here to help. We’re proud of this community and remain committed to making it a better place for us all.

For the fourth time since 2017, Bank of America is recognizing teammates with a special award in cash or restricted stock.

This year, approximately 97% of teammates will receive a Delivering Together award.

These awards are in addition to any regular annual incentives that eligible employees may receive.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 619-846-7649 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan. com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-20-881306SH. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. NOTICE TO TENANT: You may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code. If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction. If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2021 bid placed at the trustee auction. There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase.

First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call 619-846-7649, or visit this internet website http://www.qualityloan.com, using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-20-881306-SH to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the sale is set aside for any reason, including if the Trustee is unable to convey title, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the monies paid to the Trustee. This shall be the Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy. The purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Trustor, the Trustee, the Beneficiary, the Beneficiary’s Agent, or the Beneficiary’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only.

The undersigned or its predecessor caused said Notice of Default and Election to Sell to be recorded in the county where the real property is located. NOTICE TO POTENTIAL BIDDERS: If you are considering bidding on this property lien, you should understand that there are risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you

are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (844) 477-7869 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.STOXPOSTING.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 093505-CA. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale.

NOTICE TO TENANT: Effective January 1, 2021, you may have a right to purchase this property after the trustee auction pursuant to Section 2924m of the California Civil Code.

If you are an “eligible tenant buyer,” you can purchase the property if you match the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction.

If you are an “eligible bidder,” you may be able to purchase the property if you exceed the last and highest bid placed at the trustee auction.

There are three steps to exercising this right of purchase. First, 48 hours after the date of the trustee sale, you can call (855) 313-3319, or visit this internet website www.clearreconcorp.com, using the file number assigned to this case 093505-CA to find the date on which the trustee’s sale was held, the amount of the last and highest bid, and the address of the trustee. Second, you must send a written notice of intent to place a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 15 days after the trustee’s sale. Third, you must submit a bid so that the trustee receives it no more than 45 days after the trustee’s sale. If you think you may qualify as an “eligible tenant buyer” or “eligible bidder,” you should consider contacting an attorney or appropriate real estate professional immediately for advice regarding this potential right to purchase.

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2021

Council continued from page 1

The council also approved amendments to the position control resolution, modifying staffing in several departments, with a net increase of four positions.

They adopted a resolution that amended the classification and salary for the information technology director and paramedic classifications and changed the equipment list for the information technology and police department financed by a line of credit through the Bank of America.

Chief Financial Officer Kevin Riper presented the budget review to the council and said the general fund revenue experienced dramatic change because of Measure E, the 1.5 percent transaction and use tax, expected in the April through June quarter of the current fiscal year.

The tax will generate an estimated $10.75 million for the general fund that starts being collected on April 1.

“A second big change to revenue estimates in the general fund falls into the category of intergovernmental revenue,” he said. “Intergovernmental revenue is expected to be for the current fiscal year, $4 million higher than the adopted budget. The reason for that is two infusions of federal CARES Act money, one through the state for $2.5 million, and another through the County of Ventura for $1.4 million.

The third-largest revenue increase, compared with the adopted budget, is the base Bradley-Burns 1 percent sales tax.”

During the recession depths, when the budget forecast was made, he said everybody expected strapped consumers would spend less money, meaning there would be less sales tax.

“They cut back way more on spending on services than anyone thought and less than folks predicated, including me, on goods,” he said. “In California, services are generally subject to sales tax, but goods are not subject to sales tax. While consumers continued to buy cars, light trucks, home improvement materials, and supplies, those things are all taxable. They purchased much less services like healthcare, because most healthcare services proved

to be unavailable with the extent of the pandemic due to Covid-19. Many servicerelated providers were closed due to the shutdown.

None of that was obvious during the budget forecast.”

Because of this, the city’s sales tax estimate is 11 percent higher for the fiscal year.

“The bottom line is that general fund revenue is now projected to be $17 million higher than the assumed adopted,” Riper said.

General fund expenditures should end the year $ 2.5 million higher, as the expenditures changed in different areas significantly.

“Let me touch on four of them,” he said. “The biggest one is in the fire department.

The fire department is expected to spend $3.5 million more than its adopted budget appropriation of $20.3 million.

The wildland fire season ran from Aug. until what Chief Hamilton tells me is an unusually late Dec. of 2020. During that wildland fire season, the fire department spent $1.5 million responding to wildfires in other jurisdictions.

All $1.5 million spent by the fire department has been or will be reimbursed by the California Department of Emergency Services and or the Federal Emergency Management Agency. For that $1.5 million, there is no net impact to the general fund. The other $2 million of unexpected fire department expenditures arrives from two factors.

Fire spent or will spend about $400,000 this fiscal year in additional station cost and overtime in order to cover their minimum staff requirements while other fire department personnel had to quarantine. We didn’t factor that into the operating budget either because we didn’t know what would happen.”

The fire department’s adopted budget assumed approximately $1.2 million of vacancy savings.

“The council may remember that we had a similar issue at the mid-year budget a year ago at this time,” he said. “It looked like the fire department was going to be over by about $2.25 million. Station coverage and overtime

costs go up because there are minimum station coverage requirements in the fire department at all the stations, regardless of how many vacancies there may be throughout the department. The vacancy savings get eaten up by station coverage overtime in order to keep minimum staffing. A year ago, at this time, we thought that fire was about $2.2 short.

We put $1 million in the recommended and adopted budget for the fiscal year 2020-2021, the current fiscal year, at budget adoption last summer. That has proven not to be enough. The $1.2 million of expected vacancy savings was too optimistic.

We will not do that in future years. This year, about 1.25 million needs to be added to the fire department budget for station coverage and overtime.”

Smaller changes include an 800,000 increase in the community development department.

“These are expenditures that community development made for temporary labor and consulting costs and other costs related to increased revenue the community development department generated in building fees, permits, and a couple of other areas,” he said. “In the community development fund, there was no net impact to the general fund because of the increase in expenditures because they were required, in order to generate the additional general fund revenue.”

There were two $800,000 reduction changes, he said, one in the cultural and community services department because most recreation department programs were suspended because of Covid-19. There was also a reduction in recreation revenue.

“There is a positive impact to the general fund from the police department generating vacancy savings even more than was assumed in the operating of the adopted budget,” Riper said. “The vacancy savings was a little more than $750,000 a year. Put all those large factors together with the smaller ones, and you get a $2.4 million projected increase in general fund spending compared

to the adopted budget.

That leaves the general fund in substantially better condition than we thought during the spring when the forecast was made and during the summer when the budget was adopted.

We started the year with an available fund balance of $12.8 million. If we look at general fund revenue, the current revenue estimate of $152 million, minus the current expected general fund expenditures of $143 million, that leaves a net

annual activity or operating surplus of $9 million. Add a $9 million operating surplus to a $13 million starting balance, and you get a $22 million projected ending available fund balance on June 30.”

That total is more than 15 percent of the expenditures fund balance expressed as a percentage of expenditures.

“Your policy target is only 12 percent,” he said. “We’re already three percentage points above your policy target, 10 percentage points

better than the adopted budget assumed, essentially all because of Measure E revenue and the CARES act revenue from the federal and state government.”

Riper expects Measure O money to be about $1.5 million higher than the adopted budget because the half-cent sales tax, much like the Bradley-Burns in the general fund, performed better than expected during the recession.

This story will continue on Feb. 12.

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 2021

Nguyen appoints Vytautas “Vyto” Adomaitis as Oxnard’s Community Development Director Oxnard- – The City of Oxnard announced this week the appointment of Vytautas “Vyto” Adomaitis as its new Community Development Director.

A

DOMAITIS has served the City of Goleta for nearly 19 years, arriving just after the City’s incorporation in 2002. As Goleta’s Director of Neighborhood Services and Public Safety, he led an award-winning department known for its leadership and collaborative approach

to addressing community needs in Goleta and the Santa Barbara County region.

“I am extremely pleased and excited to have been chosen to be the City of Oxnard’s new Community Development Director,” said Adomaitis.

“I’m looking forward to joining a very dedicated group of professionals at the City who are seeking to provide the highest level of public services to the residents of Oxnard.”

Adomaitis’ nearly 34 years of government and privatesector experience includes Community Development/ Redevelopment/Planning, Downtown Revitalization,

Eco­nomic Development/ CDBG/Housing, Capital Projects, Building & Safety/ Co­ de Compliance, Public Sa­fety Administration/ Emer­­­gency Operations, Grants Writing, working on homelessness issues, Process

Improvements/Customer Ser­ vices and conducting signi­ficant community outreach efforts.

His broad expertise will benefit Oxnard residents and businesses as the City focuses on revitalizing

Downtown, supporting and expanding local businesses, and continuing to streamline the permit processes.

“Vyto’s local government leadership experience across many departments will be a tremendous asset to Oxnard,” said Assistant City Manager Ashley Golden. “His innovative and collaborative approach to securing program results is exactly what the City needs as we focus on updating the City Council’s five-year priorities and major projects including the continued development of Sakioka Farms Business Park, RiverPark, Wagon Wheel, and the Downtown.”

harbor that meets the financial objectives of the county and the City of Oxnard.“ Sandoval gave a brief harbor history and said it was created in the mid-1960s as a

county property and annexed by the City of Oxnard in 1963.

“Part of that annexation agreement included a stipulation that the county would continue to direct and oversee the development of the harbor,” he said. “At the outset, the county made the decision that the harbor must be operated as an enterprise, which means that the cost associated with maintaining the harbor must come solely from the revenues generated by the harbor with no county general fund subsidy.”

The county decided to develop the area with longterm ground leases and utilize private developers to build in and around the harbor.

“For decades, this strategy was successful as the harbor was developed with marinas, hotels, residential complexes,

and a myriad of visitor-serving retail and commercial,” he said. “In the early 2000s, the harbor reached a point where the initial development was starting to age. Competing retail development led to the decline of the popularity of the harbor. A number of the lessees walked away from their leases, including those operating the Casa Sirena Hotel, Fisherman’s Wharf, and the Whale’s Tail restaurant.”

As a Fisherman’s Wharf project was moving through the permitting process in 2015, Sandoval said a group of residents recommended a new development planning process that included an upfront public visioning for harbor development before identifying and designing the developer and development.

“In 2019, we adopted this

Adomaitis’ professional highlights include serving as the current Chairman of the Executive Board for the Goleta Entrepreneurial Magnet, a partnership between the City of Goleta and the University of California Santa Barbara that seeks to promote economic development activities in the Goleta area. He also led the project team for Goleta’s Fire Station 10 Project, a City Council priority, which received unanimous California Coastal Commission approval last September and created a long-awaited public safety facility for the City’s residents.

Adomaitis will start on Feb 22, 2021.

new process, which brings us here tonight,” he said. “We have a number of harbor parcels which are either undeveloped or under short-term leases, for which new development needs to be considered. In line with the visioning component of our harbor planning and development process, we began visioning for new harbor development last June. Since the process is designed to be inclusive, it seemed important to develop a diverse steering committee. The steering committee includes one county supervisor. Initially, it was Kelly Long, who was active in the harbor, including rowing.

This year, it is Matt Lavere, who has shown great interest in the harbor and decided to be part of this process.”

This story will continue on Feb. 12.

and was thrilled that so many stakeholders joined the meeting. “We have nearly 600 people registered tonight, and I am heartened to see so many people interested in

the development of Channel Islands Harbor,” he said. “It is important that we plan and proceed with harbor development, which is widely supported and is a vibrant

NEWS Oxnard Employee Pipeline will change lives

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard—The Oxnard Employee Pipeline story continues with significant outreach to the business community that enlisted the help of the Chamber of Commerce to make it a win-win for city residents.

T

HE joint partnership between the City of Oxnard, Chamber of Commerce, and Oxnard College gives people who may have an educational gap the chance to make a new and successful life.

Program graduates are guaranteed an interview with a great local company that offers a competitive salary, health insurance, and the opportunity to grow professionally.

The first class will begin on Feb 23 and run through May 12.

Council Member Vianey Lopez has played a large

part in the pipeline’s success and said the city staff and chamber have been “working their butt’s off ” to introduce the pipeline to local companies.

“Assistant City Manager Ashley Golden has been working on this, and Martha Guillen is our point contact,” Lopez said.

“Anyone interested, either participating as a student or any company or business out there, interested in finding out how this works or what goes on, Martha is our point person with the public.”

Lopez hopes to see 2530 people go through the pipeline.

Council Member Vianey Lopez “After the first class, we’ll take some time to see how it worked and get some feedback from those who did go through it,” she said. “We haven’t talked about creating a commission for the pipeline to examine its success, but we can get a report at the city level or through one of the council committees. I think that would be valuable. If we see that it’s working, let’s keep doing it and build on

it too. There are groups out there who want to be at the table and make it a stronger program.”

Input from the local businesses, like training programs that benefit the graduate, is a big part of the pipeline’s success.

“I can see this program being built that way,” Lopez said. “There is the foodservice sector and possibly the manufacturing industry.

That’s based on the engagement and participation we have from the companies and businesses here in Oxnard on what their employee base needs. We can build on that through the city and our partnership with Oxnard College and see what additional training and skills can be offered.”

Through engagement by the city, Lopez said companies interested in the pipeline are offering them feedback on what attributes a successful employee

that they were trying to avoid me.

For example, I had an elected official who refused to speak to me, so I followed him into the men’s room, waited until he used the urinal, and started asking him questions. God bless my Long Island upbringing. It helped.

Okay, I admit it, I like challenging people who want to avoid questions.

If the entire journalism world avoids difficult decisions, well, I guess I’m a little different and travel down a different path. Somewhere in the

great beyond, my parents are saying; you see, I told you he was different.

My kids are no better. My oldest son, who was also born without filters, will tell a date that he thinks she is stupid. That’s my fault. He heard me say this to way too many people.

When we lived in the same city and saw the people together, they’d say that’s what happened to Travis. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

The bottom line is that I won’t change. For example, I virtually attended a visioning meeting for

Channel Islands Harbor, but when I asked if the harbor spoke with the team that killed the 400-unit apartment complex in the area so they can reach a compromise on the number of apartment units, well, they did not respond as of this writing. I went in another direction and asked the leader of the opposition about the compromise on apartments and got my answer. Did I say, oh well? Hah, that’s adorable.

Ordinary people would let it go, but I am a little different.

possesses.

“That’s what has helped build these courses and what the skills and training should consist of,” she said. “What are local companies looking for? Part of this process is hearing from the companies and what job openings they have, so we can look at the students who have participated in the program.

As those job opening pop up, we can say, hey, here it is, let’s prepare you. We can’t guarantee that someone will be hired, but what we can guarantee is that they will have an interview with the companies.”

There are fees attached to the program, she said, which will run through Oxnard College.

“There is an application process for financial aid,” she said. “It’s based on the student’s income. You may not have to pay for any of the courses or pay a minimum fee.”

Oxnard College President Luis Sanchez is proud to be part of the pipeline.

“We are definitely excited about this program, primarily because we value this partnership with the City of Oxnard in its vision of helping its residents achieve greater levels of career advancement,” he said. “We are, of course, also glad to create a pathway for future college enrollments.

The classes and instructors were selected by our Dean of Career Education, Dr. Armine’ Derdiarian, and our Vice President of Academic Affairs, Dr. Art Sanford.”

Sanchez praised Oxnard City Manager Alex Nguyen and called him a highly innovative and resourceful steward for the City of Oxnard.

“It is a pleasure to collaborate with the City on this and other initiatives that serve our mutual mission to help bolster our college and community,” Sanchez said.

Oxnard City Manager Alex Nguyen is excited to raise the bar and meet the employee needs in Oxnard.

“This is the piece of the Oxnard puzzle that benefits many parties,” he said. “There are two sides to this equation, but the key is Oxnard College. On the one side, we have all of our local businesses. On the other side, we have Oxnard residents, who, for the most part, don’t have enough education and training to work with our companies.

They’re like ships that pass in the night. The most powerful thing we can do at city hall in terms of development is business retention and expansion. The nature of business is they don’t want to be stagnant. They have to evolve, grow, and at some point, they probably need to expand, somehow.”

During Nguyen’s first two years in Oxnard, Oxnard Chamber of Commerce President Nancy Lindholm took him to a business, and he started understanding a common denominator.
