RENT CONTROL AND TENANT PROTECTION STUDIED By Chris Frost Tri County Sentry Oxnard-The Community Services, Public Safety, Housing, and Development Committee, Tuesday, September 14, held a study session about rent control and tenant protection strategies. The Central Coast Alliance United for A Sustainable Economy (CAUSE) presented a need for rent control in Oxnard in 2020, and their concerns centered around affordability. They noted that the initial rent was too high, the yearly increases were unaffordable, and the wages did not keep up with the rent increases. n Rent Control, see page 5

NIGHT MARKET
AT T R A C T S A H U G E C R O W D By Chris Frost Tri County Sentry
Channel Islands-- Channel Islands Harbor was the place to be, Saturday, September 11, as a throng of people came out to enjoy the 805 Night Market.
T
HE event, sponsored by Trendi Eats, featured tons of vendors, lots of great food, kid attractions, music, dancing, and lots of fellowships. Attendees donned their masks, observed social distancing when they could, and had a wonderful time. Jackie Sanchez, a committee member on
the Walk to End Alzheimer’s for West Ventura County, teamed up with Wheelhouse Cannabis Dispensary and Delivery Ventura County to spread the word about the upcoming Walk to End Alzheimer’s. “It’s September 25, two Saturdays from now at The Collection in Oxnard,” she said. “We are pushing and reminding people that this is a great opportunity to get out and get involved in the community again because we’ve been shut down for so long. We’re thrilled that we’re going to be able to host it again this year. We’re putting special guidelines in place to make sure there is social distancing and allowing time for the walk to complete. We’re taking the necessary
precautions, but we’re excited to be out in the community again, and the community has shown the support back. It’s been amazing, and they’ve been really supportive of our fundraising efforts.” n 805, see page 4
