SMALL BUSINESS RELIEF GRANT PROGRAM REACHES ROUND NINE

By Chris Frost Tri County Sentry Oxnard-- In his Tuesday, September 21, report to the city council, City Manager Alex Nguyen said the rent and utility relief program for tenants and landlords is still available.

“There is a fund being managed by the state, and you can get 100 percent of your overdue rent and utility payments paid for,” he said. “The information is available at HousingIsKey.com, or 833-430-2122.” n Grant, see page 6

BENEFITS RESIDENTS AND SEA LIFE

By Chris Frost Tri County Sentry

Oxnard-- The 37th Annual California Coastal Cleanup Day, Saturday, September 18, brought thousands of people to California’s coastline with one goal in mind. Make the beach cleaner and the ocean a friendlier place to its wildlife.

T

HE effort reportedly brought in 153,281 pounds of trash and an additional 9,256 pounds of recyclable materials for a total of 162,538 pounds or more than 81 tons.

Recycling Manager Jill Santos and her dog Annie led the event at Oxnard Beach State Park for her first time, and she said

although Covid-19 stopped the cleanup in 2020, that doesn’t mean the coastline is a year behind with its cleanup efforts.

“We definitely have a presence in our community with the Surfrider Foundation, the 311 Program, and a lot of n Cleanup, see page 4

Rent Control and Protections needs further study

By Chris Frost Tri County Sentry Oxnard-- The conversation about rent control and tenant protections during the Tuesday, September 9, Community Services, Public Safety, Housing, and Community Development Committee meeting continues with a cautionary tale from the City of Santa Monica.

Housing Director Emilio

Ramirez told the committee that Santa Monica is one of the few jurisdictions that pre-date Costa Hawkins, preempting rent control for multi-family housing units built after February 1995 and single-family homes and condominiums and still in place.

“Santa Monica voters adopted rent control in April 1979,” he said. “It was intended to alleviate the housing shortage and rapidly rising rents by establishing a

rent control board empowered to regulate rentals in the City of Santa Monica. The Santa Monica rent control ordinance applies to rentals the existed prior to 1979.”

The Santa Monica Rent Control Board records indicate that there are 27,429 rent-controlled units in Santa Monica as of December 2020. The ordinance provides for an elected rent control board to ensure that rents are at a fair level. n Control, see page 7

ET’S start with the vaccine. Of course, you all know that even though I got the shots, I did it against my will. I had questions a lot of questions, and I asked them publicly. Well, guess what? Facebook did not distribute this story.

Let me explain; when I post a story on Facebook, I get a score of how many people I’ve reached. Well, that story got a big fat zero. I was censored. In other words, I was told to shut up and take my shot.

Meanwhile, I have double-vaccinated friends who ended up getting Covid-19. But the good news is that when you get double-vaccinated, Covid-19 won’t be any more severe than a cold.

I turn on the television and see people on the air advising people to shame the unvaccinated. Really?

Now I know that I don’t work at a network. I am just a silly little guy who reports on things happening in Ventura County, but advising people to shame unvaccinated people is the absolute worst form of journalism ever. To be more direct, you’re stupid,

groups on a regular basis always cleaning up,” she said.

“This is a great event to boost community awareness and add some community effort.”

She noted that similar efforts are happening up and down the coastline.

“There’s locations all over the county,” she said. “People are asked to social distance, we are outside, and all of the staff and volunteers who are working this booth are wearing masks, and most of the city employees have been

vaccinated.”

She noted that plenty of hand sanitizer is available for the volunteers.

“There’s safety protocols printed on all of the information,” she said. “We do talk about the sharps and needles that can be found. We also have the service here, so everything that we collect is going to be hauled away.”

She wasn’t sure if Covid-19 would deter participation.

“We just had a really large group come in, and I think

they all came together,” she said.

Santos said the day is about empowering the people to become involved.

“All of the data gets aggregated,” she said. “We actually sort through and count cigarette butts versus little items and trash versus big item debris. Whatever it is, we’re going to count the stuff and have quantities and data that is going to be distributed.

Policy can be changed from events like this because when we were doing these events a few years ago, cigarette butts were one of the hot items we kept coming up with as one of the items we kept finding on the beach. I saw more of those little cigarette butt receptacles in the beach area. Maybe it can influence policy too.”

The group brought snacks, water, and since they are part

of the recycling division, she said they would collect empty water bottles and get the CRV. The weather was not too hot, which she loved.

“It’s a beautiful day,” Santos said. “I love this marine area.”

Senior Environmental Wastewater Specialist Heather D’Anna Nichols said in 2019, before Covid-19, they had 700 people come to support the coastline.

“It’s kind of slow because of Covid-19, but we have a few people out here,” she said.

“This is a stormwater and wastewater compliance event that protects the ocean and improves our water quality.

“We’re out here spreading the word and trying to get people to improve the water quality.”

When in the city, she said teaching people about storm drains is important.

“Storm drains go right into the ocean,” she said. “Pick up as much trash as possible and keep our waterways clean. We try to get out to the schools and do as much outreach as possible.”

Angela Brister and Mario Oliver teamed up to make the coast a nicer place.

“I live nearby, and I come out here often to clean the beach,” Brister said. “I figured why not come out for our statewide cleanup and keep it clean. I come out after mostly every windy day and find gallons and gallons of trash.”

Cleaning the coastline, she said, is an important issue.

“It’s important to me because all of the plastic ends up in the ocean, and I don’t want our local plastics to end up on the island,” she said.

“Our wildlife is out here, and I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for them. We’re all part of the same big picture.”

Oliver just moved to Oxnard, and he wants to be part of the community.

“Angela invited me last night, so I decided why not help out a little bit,” Mario said. “She posted it on a chat room we have together, and I’m the only one who showed up.” He said getting around on the sand can be tricky.

“You have to be careful,” he said. “You can sink into the sand.”

Pam Wilcox and her husband Brian wanted to help.

“We live in this neighborhood, we come to this beach often, and we want to see it clean,” she said. “We care about the ocean and the wildlife in the ocean that suffers from things that aren’t supposed to be there like cigarette butts and plastic. As much as we can keep out of the ocean, that’s helpful.”

She said her husband is part of the Surfrider Foundation.

“So am I, and it wasn’t a hard decision to come,” she said. “I found an intact pair of children’s underwear or swim shorts.”

Brian said cleaning the beach is vital.

“What sits on the beach often washed out into the ocean and has implications for everything that’s living out there,” he said.

NEWS Council amends code for firearms sale

By Chris Frost considerations, and the also operates a firearm Tri County Sentry process for review of special range, via the US Postal Oxnard-- The City Council, Tuesday, September 21, amended chapter 16 of the Oxnard City Code and added medical clinics and hospitals as sensitive uses that require separation for firearm ranges and businesses engaged in the sale of firearms.

T

HE regulation applies citywide in the inland zone and pertains to the general commercial and limited manufacturing districts.

Principal Planner Isidro Figueroa presented the item to the council and said on July 16, 2019, the council approved a zone text amendment to establish definitions for ammunition, firearm range, firearm, firearm, and ammunition sales.

The amendment modified land uses related to these activities within the general commercial, limited manufacturing, and Community Reserve zoning districts.

“It established siting criteria, operational

use permit applications related to these uses,” he said. “During the public hearing, the council also deliberated on the possibility of including hospitals and clinics as a sensitive use.”

Public testimony urged the council to consider clinics and hospitals as sensitive uses and also urged the council to consider the patient’s safety and security, which should be protected equally.

“Firearm and ammunition sales and firearm ranges require a minimum 600-foot separation from any sensitive use,” he said.

“The council directed staff to research the potential inclusion of medical clinics and hospitals in the ordinance and report back at a future date.”

The Community Services Public Safety Housing and Development Committee voted unanimously, on April 16, to include medical clinics and hospitals as a sensitive use. The staff was not directed to amend the standards and requirements that were in place.

“Staff has contacted the four existing legal, non-conforming firearm retailers; one firearm retailer

Service and phone about the proposed zone text amendment and notified them of all public meetings to date,” Figueroa said. “The existing firearm retailers have declined to participate in the public meetings so far.”

He said the Oxnard City Code does not contain definitions for medical clinics and hospitals, so using best practices, a medical clinic is defined as an organized outpatient health facility that provides direct medical, dental, optometric, podiatric advice services or treatment for people for less than 24 hours.

“Hospital means a health facility having a duly constituted governing body with overall administrative and professional responsibility and having an organized medical staff which provides 24-hour inpatient care,” he said.

“That includes medical, nursing, surgical, anesthesia, laboratory, radiology, pharmacy, dietary services, or psychiatric care and treatment.”

He said firearms-related businesses must maintain a 600-foot separation from sensitive uses such as non-

TO THE EDITOR Oxnard moves from mistake; Sept 19, 2021 I read this editorial with great interest.

But why not tell the whole story and not just from the city’s viewpoint? The truth of the matter is, if the city would have just immediately ceased the collection of the Infrastructure User Fee (IUF) as proposed by the so-called “anti-government critic” at a meeting with the city leadership, then the city would not have had to pay any money at all back to the Enterprise funds from the General Fund and there would not have been a lawsuit.

Sounds like a win-win for both parties. However, call it arrogance, stubbornness, or a word that rhymes with cupid, the city of Oxnard elected to continue the collection of the illegal IUF fees. Hence, the lawsuit to “force” the city to stop this illegal activity. And, as a consequence of the lawsuit, the city of Oxnard now has to issue $7.1M credit to the utility users plus repayment of

$36.5M back to the Enterprise funds.

And, to top off this so called “mistake”, the city also had to pay their attorney(s) to support this illegal activity plus the attorney fees for the plaintiff. Thus, this “mistake” as Oxnard leadership calls it was a really a huge blunder. Two plus two equals five is a mistake – what the city did was a real lulu.

By the way, rather than these individuals being categorized as “anti-government” and “critics of the government”, the true moniker may better be described as “anti-illegal activities by our local government”. These people, rather than critics, are watching to ensure that our local government does not violate any laws and are spending our taxpayer dollars appropriately.

It established siting criteria, operational considerations, and the process for review of special use permit applications related to these uses,” he said.

“During the public hearing, the council also deliberated on the possibility of including hospitals and clinics as a sensitive use

professional daycare for a child or adult, parks, churches, public or private schools, any residentially zoned property, the Oxnard Transportation Center, or the Oxnard Airport.

“A 200-foot separation is

required between individual firearm-related uses,” he said.

During Council comments, Mayor Pro Tem Bryan MacDonald said he gave the item some thought and appreciated the staff ’s work.

“When you see the map put on the presentation, by moving this forward, it essentially will limit this type of activity to two areas in the city, in the northeast industrial area and a small area down by Wooley and Commerical, which is four or five square blocks,” he said. “There are four legal non-conforming firearms retailers and ranges within the city. What concerns me about that is they’re legal non-conforming. I’ve always called them existing nonconforming, and they’re there by right because when this is enacted, they’re

already there. So this doesn’t apply to them. Should that use, for whatever reason, cease to exist, typical in retail shopping centers, where Turner Sporting Goods is located, for example, those businesses don’t own the building, and they’re into a long-term lease. If that use ceases, for whatever reason, because the landlord chooses not to renew the lease, or the landlord decides, I have a valuable commodity here, and if you want to stay, you need to pay three times the rent when that use ceases, if they want to do business in the City of Oxnard, it would be either in the central corridor downtown or out in the northeast area.

There is a limitation of 200 feet for like businesses, so that would probably limit that.”

The item passed 4-2.

He said the California Small Business Relief Grant Program entered round nine, and eligible applicants are currently on a waitlist from previous rounds and new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria.

“All that information is available at careliefgrant. com,” he said.

Vaccination clinics are still available in Oxnard at the Oxnard Public Health Clinic, 2240 East Gonzales Road. The Gonzales Road location is available from 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. On Thursday, the clinic stays open until 6:30 p.m., and the clinic is open from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. on Saturdays.

“They offer all the available vaccines,” Nguyen said.

In South Oxnard, at 2500 South C Street in the tent, the location is open from 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m., Monday through Thursday. The clinic is open until 6:30 p.m. on Friday for all the available vaccines.

“We certainly encourage anyone who has not been able to get vaccinated to do so,” he said. “One primary testing site remains in the City of Oxnard, at the Oxnard Performing Arts Center, 800 Hobson Way. Their schedule is from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m., Monday through Thursday.”

Nguyen said the county’s public health official extended the public mask requirement until October 19.

“As we approach October 19, I’m sure Dr. Levin will reassess the medical data of our county to determine whether he will extend the order,” Nguyen said. “The order is active, and it requires everyone to wear a mask at indoor public places.”

He wants the city to do its best to stay in tune with the county health department regarding community expectations.

“We are prepared to continue processing temporary use permits for public events,” he said. “We will require them with a Covid protocol plan.

We are in the process of reviewing some samples, and we’ll be bringing you that information in the near future. We want to be able to balance the needs and demands of the public for holding safe events in public spaces, with the caveat as medical circumstances change and there is an order from the county or state public health officer, those would trump any permits that we would issue.”

“The city will have its second redistricting public hearing on Thursday, September 30,” he

continued. “At that hearing, we expect to present the preliminary final census numbers. The state’s census numbers were issued today, so hopefully, we’ll be able to provide the final census numbers by the 30th. We’ll also be introducing the new mapping tool. Redistricting is a process that is very important for our representative governance system in this country. It happens once per decade.”

He said the city would present its recommendations about how the county redistricting should proceed.

“In addition to representation within our

city boundaries, we should be interested in our county board of supervisors,” he said.

The County Board of Supervisors Redistricting Public Hearing is at 1 p.m., Tuesday, October 19.

“I think that’s the first meeting at the Board of Supervisors will consider draft map revisions based on the public input they receive,” he said.

Nguyen also reviewed AB 361, which redesigns how elected bodies can continue holding public meetings.

“It takes effect starting October 1 and allows for continued remote meetings

during our declared emergencies,” he said.

“What it adds, in addition to having people sign up to speak via Zoom, we will also be providing people the opportunity to call during the meeting when there are items they are interested in.

The other aspect is if there is a technical issue that we have to pause the meeting until we can resolve the technical issue, or if there is a major technical issue, like an outage, the broadcast companies that transmit our signal, we may have to stop the meeting then continue.

We’re sorting through the fine language there.” The special

election for District Two is on November 2.

“This will fill the remaining term of former Mayor Pro Tem and Current County Supervisor Carmen Ramirez,” Nguyen said.

“The vote by mail ballots for the district is expected to come out October 4 and October 26. The last day to register to vote for District Two is October 18. The polls are open from 7 a.m. until 8 p.m. on November 2. There will be no Oxnard City Council meeting that evening.”

before us in California. Our taxes are insane, there is a homeless epidemic across the state, and homes cost a fortune to own or rent.

I know the City of Oxnard is looking at rent control, but the best way to control rent is to create a housing surplus. That means it’s time to build. Rent control is a nice thing, I guess, but if landlords are going to have their profits capped, the next thing you’ll see are for sale signs everywhere.

When I was in my 30s, I was a kitchen manager working at a restaurant chain

in Denver, and I wanted to buy a house for my family. A bunch of people bought homes there and got financing with the Godawful FHA 245B financing, which featured an escalating payment and negative amortization.

There was a massive amount of foreclosures that glutted the market, and prices dropped. If everybody sells and says no more income property, what do you think is going to happen?

The prices will fall because the market will be flooded, and many won’t sell until

they are foreclosed. If you want to see a bad economy, watch what happens to retail sales if everybody has a 450 Fico score.

If you need a more graphic example, go to the store, buy a whole bunch of Bubblelicious, put it all in your mouth, and blow a giant bubble. Okay, when you get there, have someone pop that bubble, and while you’re trying to get all that gum out of your hair and face, you just graphically created the same situation you’re going to see in California. When the bubble bursts, we all lose.

NEWS Camarillo City Council approves airport attorney

By Chris Frost agreement.

In March 2020, the City Tri County Sentry Camarillo-- During a special meeting of the City Council, Wednesday, September 15, the group received legal advice about Camarillo Airport and approved the Rosales Law Firm and Attorney Dan Reimer.

T

HE council met to consider Remer as special counsel with respect to the airport, including the 1976 county

of Camarillo retained the Rosales Law Firm to assist with court issues, and Mr. Dan Reimer and the Gonzales Law Firm will assist the city with Camarillo Airport.

City Attorney Brian Pierik presented the item to the council and said in 1976, the city and county entered into an agreement for the Camarillo Airport.

“I have called out certain provisions of that agreement, including Recital E, and I would like to read from that because I think it’s pertinent here what that recital says,”

he said. “The county and city desire to achieve maximum mutual cooperation in the development of the airport and maintain a

balanced perspective in fulfilling county aviation requirements within a framework of continuing community sensitivity.”

He identified sections of the report which include six restrictions regarding operations at the airport.

“The agreement will be in perpetuity, provided that the county is precluded from operating the airport when the agreement would have no further force.

“The agreement may be modified at any time by mutual agreement of the parties,” Pierik said.

The agreement includes six restrictions, including the

and rent control will not achieve the desired benefit.

“The target of affordable housing is often missed by rent control,” he said.

“Capping the existing rents, which are already too high for the median income in Oxnard, does not make rent affordable.”

Ramirez said the staff recommends tenant rights education, which makes tenants aware of their rights under AB1482 and potentially empowers legal council support.

“This effort will require a significant budget appropriation, which we will have to consider,” he said. “The City Council may consider a local tenant protection act. The City of Sacramento adopted a local tenant protection act similar to the state tenant protection act. In so doing, it enabled its local enforcement of the state tenant protection act, given that the state tenant protection act does not empower a local city to enforce it. The effort will also require a significant budget appropriation for us to consider.”

He said the staff recommends that the city continues to increase its affordable housing stock via continued compliance with local and state density bonus initiatives.

“Staff additionally recommends continuing to build new affordable housing,” he said. “Affordable

housing that is required by contract and required that it be continuously affordable to the family that lives in it and provides for the longterm public benefit that is needed, where rent control might miss it. It will continue to enforce an inclusionary ordinance which then produces additional affordable housing mixed amongst the community.”

Ramirez noted that developing wages through the Oxnard Employee Pipeline so residents can ultimately afford the cost of living is more effective than simply capping the maximum rent.

“Implementation of any of these recommended options will have a cost associated with them, which could be significant,” he said. “Based on feedback, staff will develop program parameters and associated impacts to staffing, budget, and timelines for the implementation of the recommended efforts. We will return to the council and committee for your recommendation.”

During public comments, Maria Navarro said she understands that addressing housing as public policy is difficult, and she applauded the city for its efforts.

“You must understand that the housing crisis in which we live now was not created by one bad policy but by decades of shortsighted and misguided

policies,” she said. “To fix the housing crisis, we need to continue the policies that have short-term and longterm results. We need longterm solutions like funding and streamlining affordable housing production. We need economic development, and we also need shortterm solutions like rent stabilization.”

She noted the city does not have decades to wait for the long-term benefits.

“People need relief now,” she said. “Farmworkers are bleeding now. In the short term, people need basic stability in their life and their neighborhoods. They need to know they can afford to keep a roof over their head by next month. Stronger rent control is the only short-term solution that will benefit the most vulnerable population in Oxnard today.”

In committee comments, Mayor John Zaragoza thanked the staff for the report and input from all the different agencies.

“The Oxnard residents express serious concerns over significant rent increases in recent years and have demanded rent control,” he said. “Rent control already exists with the 2020 assembly bill AB1482, the Tenant Protection Act. The problem is that people are not aware of this act, and my understanding is that it is not clear or easily enforced.

The value of seeking the enforcement of AB1482

airport being operated for general aviation purposes.

“The operating hours are 7 a.m. until 10 p.m., and the runway shall not exceed 6,000 feet,” he said. “There’s a weight limitation on aircraft of 115,000 pounds. The airport VFR traffic pattern shall be to the south of the airport, as designated in attachment two. The airport development shall be guided to ensure that residential areas are not exposed to noise levels greater than 60 cnel average noise and 90 dba single event noise.”

From 1998 until 2014, Reimer was a private practice attorney representing clients

on many airport issues, including large airports and small general aviation airports.

“From 2014 until 2019, he managed the law department at Denver International Airport, which is the fifth busiest airport in the country,” Pierik said. “In 2019, Mr. Reimer formed his own firm, and he specializes in airport law.”

One of his areas of expertise, he said, is grant funding.

“His familiarity with grant funding will be helpful,” he said.

The item passed unanimously.

offers opportunities to address substandard housing, wrongful evictions, illegal rent increases, and other infractions.”

Zaragoza asked for clarifications from the tenant protection act and commented on rental units built more than 15 years ago.

“CAUSE (Central Coast Alliance United for A Sustainable Economy) has no comments on that and recommends that we follow those provisions,” he said.

“It includes certain types of rentals, including singlefamily homes. That was preempted by Costa Hawkins, and staff recommends that we follow those provisions that are preempted by Costa Hawkins.”

Zaragoza suggested a study session about a 12-month rent control limited to CPI only and continue the study session after receiving comments from CAUSE and other parties.

Councilman Oscar Madrigal said the high cost of rent in the city has been an issue for decades.

“It’s an issue before 2019 that would probably come up once a year,” he said. “As a council, we would get to work on it and get something done. It was supposedly done, and then it would come right back. It’s something realistically that we never really truly took care of, and it’s always out of sight, out of mind. This is concerning because, as stated not only

by CAUSE but by some of the public speakers, you have in the City of Oxnard and the City of Port Hueneme, one out of four people live in poverty. Paying rent is expensive, and I understand the old basic concept of, if you can’t afford it, don’t live here. But, when you say that, you’re not taking into account what people bring into our local economy. This is a difficult thing, and yes, I get it. If you want to live here, you have to pay up. Some of the issues are high rent prices though some of the issues are hazardous conditions of living. We started the safe homes, safe families program, but realistically, the landlords pushed over that ordinance.”

Madrigal agrees with the mayor but says the rent control should be longer than 12 months.

Mayor Pro Tem and Chairman Bryan MacDonald said the report offers a huge amount of information topped off with pages of letters, emails, and petitions.

“I think there is a lot of discussions yet to be had on this matter, and I look forward to a more robust discussion,” he said. “Staff has heard all our comments, they’ve heard all our speakers’ comments, and I think there is a lot of work yet to be done. I agree with councilman Madrigal that we need a little time. I would really like to see us do whatever we do; we do it right that first time and not have to pick up the pieces later.”

Control continued from page 1

“That member-elected board is supported by a rent control agency staff of 24 employees,” Ramirez said. “The Santa Monica Rent Control 2020 annual report stated that after the implementation of Costa Hawkins, the initial rents for new tenancies rose each year, except for a small downturn during the recession. During the 21 years of vacancy control as a result of Costa Hawkins, 73 percent of the units have been rented at market at least once. Only 24 percent of the house units remain occupied by longterm renters, thus have been able to experience the real benefit of rent control.”

As a result of the Ellis Act that provided rent control for apartment dwellers, he said they’d seen a loss of 2,075 units.

“Santa Monica reports that it has seen an overall decrease in the housing stock,” Ramirez said. “Further, Santa Monica reports that today, less than five percent of the controlled units are actually rented at an affordable price to low, very low, or extremely low-income tenants. The Santa Monica rent control program does not appear to effectively offer the positive public benefit that it sought, i.e., affordable housing, having been largely hampered by intervening state legislation.”

He noted that the staff recognizes that rent is unaffordable for the median income family in Oxnard,

UNLESS YOU TAKE ACTION TO PROTECT YOUR PROPERTY, IT MAY BE SOLD AT A PUBLIC SALE. IF YOU NEED AN EXPLANATION OF THE NATURE OF THE PROCEEDING AGAINST YOU, YOU SHOULD CONTACT A LAWYER. A public auction sale to the highest bidder for cash, cashier’s check drawn on a state or national bank, check drawn by a state or federal credit union, or a check drawn by a state or federal savings and loan association, or savings association, or savings bank specified in Section 5102 of the Financial Code and authorized to do business in this state will be held by the duly appointed trustee as shown below, of all right, title, and interest conveyed to and now held by the trustee in the hereinafter described property under and pursuant to a Deed of Trust described below. The sale will be made, but without covenant or warranty, expressed or implied, regarding title, possession, or encumbrances, to pay the remaining principal sum of the note(s) secured by the Deed of Trust, with interest and late charges thereon, as provided in the note(s), advances, under the terms of the Deed of Trust, interest thereon, fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee for the total amount (at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale) reasonably estimated to be set forth below. The amount may be greater on the day of sale.

Trustor: EFRAIN PEREZ ESCOBEDO, A MARRIED MAN AS HIS SOLE AND SEPARATE PROPERTY Duly Appointed Trustee: ZBS Law, LLP Deed of Trust Recorded on 03/08/2007, as Instrument No. 20070308-00050076-0 of Official Records of Ventura County, California; Date of Sale: 10/05/2021 at 11:00 AM Place of Sale: At the main front entrance to the County Government Center Hall of Justice 800 South Victoria Avenue Ventura, CA Estimated amount of unpaid balance and other charges: $76,662.34 Note: Because the Beneficiary reserves the right to bid less than the total debt owed, it is possible that at the time of the sale the opening bid may be less than the total debt owed.

Street Address or other common designation of real property: 230 S OLIVE ST SANTA PAULA, CA 93060 Described as follows: As more fully described on said Deed of Trust.

A.P.N #.: 103-0-213-055 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address or other common designation, if any, shown above. 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.

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 866-2667512 or visit this Internet Web site www. elitepostandpub.com using the file number assigned to this case 21001068-1 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: 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 866-266-7512 or visit this Internet Web site www.elitepostandpub.com using the file number assigned to this case 21001068-1 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.

The street address and other common designation, if any, of the real property described above is purported to be: 1731 SCHOOL HOUSE CIRCLE, WESTLAKE VILLAGE AREA (aka THOUSAND OAKS), , CALIFORNIA 91362 The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the street address and other common designation, if any, shown herein. Said sale will be held, but without covenant or warranty, express or implied, regarding title, possession, condition, or encumbrances, including fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee and of the trusts created by said Deed of Trust, to pay the remaining principal sums of the note(s) secured by said Deed of Trust.

The total amount of the unpaid balance of the obligation secured by the property to be sold and reasonable estimated costs, expenses and advances at the time of the initial publication of the Notice of Sale is: $1,781,064.33 If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. The beneficiary under said Deed of Trust heretofore executed and delivered to the undersigned a written Declaration of Default and Demand for Sale, and a written Notice of Default and Election to Sell. 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 (800) 280-2832 or visit this Internet Web site WWW.AUCTION.COM, using the file number assigned to this case 087566-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 087566-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, SEPTEMBER 24, 2021

NEWS TO THE EDITOR Contrary to the soft-pedaled view expressed in The Star’s recent editorial (“Oxnard moves on from a mistake”), the City of Oxnard’s Infrastructure Use Fee charged to utility ratepayers was much more than a mistake – it was quite deliberate.

Not only did the Ventura County Superior Court describe the City’s too-clever formula for siphoning the money as “arbitrary, capricious, unsupported by facts, and entirely speculative,” it also labeled the City’s scheme “illegal and unreasonable.”

Applauding the City for admitting its mistake now – after losing a four-year court battle with us – is comparable to praising an embezzler for admitting his crime after the jury found him guilty and the judge sentenced him to prison.

The appropriate time for City officials to admit a mistake – and cease the “illegal and unreasonable” behavior – was when we first brought this violation of law to their attention back in late 2016.

Instead, City officials fought us in court for four years ... and lost.

As a consequence, the Court ordered the City to pay back $36.5 million to its enterprise funds.

City Hall is also being forced to issue a PARTIAL refund of $7.1 million to ratepayers – including $3 million collected after the court handed down its decision! – for overcharges since January 2020.

But a partial refund is not an expression of benevolence; rather, City officials understood they were facing a certain loss on a class action lawsuit for ratepayer refunds that we told them we were ready to file.

Rather than make ratepayers whole, City officials are only refunding illegal charges since January 2020 by exploiting California’s one-year statute of limitation on the refund claim we filed on behalf of utility ratepayers in January 2021.

A truly repentant City Hall would also refund the additional $32 million it illegally charged ratepayers from 2014 through 2019.

Instead, City officials reveal their true character by pocketing the money – averaging roughly $800 per ratepayer – taking cookies and returning crumbs. That is not contrition; it’s taking advantage of people.

Once the editorial board completed its disservice to readers by minimizing the City of Oxnard’s bad behavior, the writers then had the audacity to pigeonhole me and other whistleblowers with a pejorative term, and scolded us to stop publicly complaining about how money is being spent at Oxnard City Hall.

But we will not stop holding local government officials accountable when they break the law. Unfortunately, bad behavior

by City officials does not end with their Infrastructure Use Fee. Stay tuned, there’s more to come!

FIXING THE PACC IS A PRIORITY

By Chris Frost Tri County Sentry Oxnard-- The city council, Tuesday, September 21, began making final decisions on its ARP funding.

C

ITY staff recom­ mends that the city make tranche one investments and as many tranche two investments as it could.

The city has $59.541 million available that must be utilized

by December 31, 2024, and must be completed by December 31, 2026.

During Public Comments, Douglas Partello said things like addressing playground equipment needs and the Carnegie Museum investments are good.

“I think they should consider the PACC (Oxnard Performing Arts Center) and the roof,” he said. “It’s in pretty bad shape.

What I don’t feel is appropriate, and I am a little confused because I know it was discussed, grocery workers and pharmacy workers (hero pay), now they’re considering $2 million for city employees. Oxnard was hit hard like cities all across the nation with Covid. Many people lost their jobs; they got part-time work, businesses closed, they lost their business, huge impacts across the board.”

He noted that Oxnard is a working-class community with small businesses.

“We have a lot of folks with tight budgets, and Covid was devastating,” he said. “We have a large pool of agricultural workers. They often live in substandard living conditions.

They worked all through the pandemic putting food on our tables. There are healthcare workers with very high-risk jobs because they are dealing directly with the respiratory tract. I’m a retired respiratory therapist, and those respiratory therapists work in intensive care with ventilators, and they’re suctioning mucus and Covid makes it high risk.”

He doesn’t feel like it’s in the spirit of the ARP intention to make up for deferments and things that weren’t done due to the Covid recession and the impact on local governments

and their budgets.

“I don’t feel that giving to staff is appropriate, and I feel that a lot of city staff hold the best-compensated jobs,” he said.

“They received their checks for compensation. This is not the intent. It’s for the community and not be put back on staff.”

City Manager Alex Nguyen said Oxnard’s portion of the ARP funding is not the first round of federal and state funding.

He proposed a “Blue List” first, which will have a priority moving forward.

“As I discussed before in prior meetings throughout this pandemic, the federal government and state government has provided multiple buckets of stimulus with a broad range of categories,” he said. “It was only with the ARP act that there was a portion set aside from within the broader scope, $1.3 trillion, set aside for cities, counties, and towns.

The local government portion of ARP is specific to help local government.”

Nguyen noted that the city is operating on the federal treasury’s preliminary final rules.

“We were hoping that they would have issued their final rules by the end of the summer, but that hasn’t happened,” he said.”I can speculate as to why the treasury and the feds are extremely busy with all the events happening around the world and in our country.”

Nguyen said the council can recommend some items and revisit the plan next spring.

Mayor John Zaragoza started and said he wanted to add a couple of items to the blue list.

“The first item I’d like to ask the city council to add to the list is the YARA (Youth Apprenticeship Readiness Acceleration) program,” he said. “This would be a partnership between City Corps and the 585 Labors and Tri-County. What this does is allocate funding for 40 underresourced youth adults affected by the pandemic. Once they go through this apprenticeship program, they’re recognized with credentials where they can apply for apprenticeships with the local trades. It’s a pretty powerful collaboration that includes workforce development, board services,

Mayor John Zaragoza

construction trades, and CBO’s employers and education. It really helps out the youth. The program will complement the Oxnard Employee Pipeline that was put together to train our employees.”

He also proposed upgrading city hall and the annex, which he noted are decades old.

“They are in major need of maintenance such as painting,” he said. “I believe this is a reflection of our city. We’re at the entrance of downtown. We set standards for residents and visitors that come to our city.

We tell people to clean up their homes and make sure they clean up, and our city hall is in need of maintenance and painting that is important to all of us.”

Zaragoza said the city should set the standard in the commercial buildings downtown.

“By doing that, it will increase the life of an asset,” he said.

Zaragoza said he’s gotten a lot of emails about the PACC and how it needs a lot of help. He proposes $300,000 per building.

“It needs painting, and it needs to be repaired,” he said.

“We are going to work on the PACC, and now we have a seismic report that we’re waiting for to find out exactly what needs to be done, seismicwise at the PACC, so we can repair it accordingly. If we repair it now and not wait for that study, you’ll have to do it double. A double expense.”

Councilman Bert Perello said he appreciates the opportunity presented to the city.

“I don’t have suggestions at this moment,” he said. “This is a one-time deal. We’ll probably

never see another opportunity like this. This is the equivalent of going to a buffet, a buffet you have never seen in your life with more opportunities to try things, and you have no idea what they are, and your stomach is only a certain size.”

He noted that the people have spoken, and they are going to be held accountable to the public and themselves at future councils.

Mayor Pro Tem Bryan MacDonald said he likes the concept of YARA. “I appreciate you bringing up the PACC,” he said to Zaragoza. “We are going to do work on the PACC, but we need to get the seismic study done and understand the future spending decisions relative to the facility.”

For some reason, he said he’s become the expert on gang mailboxes.

“In some of the newer neighborhoods on the east and west side of the city, the gang mailboxes are being terribly challenged with theft and break-ins,” he said. “One of the problems we’ve stumbled across is that the post office is willing to replace them with newer ones as they have them available to them. They won’t touch the structures to the exterior of the mailboxes because they were put in by the city or developer when they put in the mailboxes, to begin with.

The post office, because of their guidance and regulations, won’t touch our stuff.
