Thank you Madam Clerk.

Clerk. Thank you. Good evening Mayor Pro Tempore, City Council members and members of the public. Luli Lopez Oxnard City Clerk. This presentation will provide an overview of the city clerk's office and the services that we provide. The city clerk's office has two employees plus myself, and we provide services to the community into city departments. The city clerk's office serves as the cornerstone of local government responsible for maintaining official records, minutes, ordinance resolutions and conducting municipal elections.

We prepare agenda and minutes for the City Council, manage the city records and administer the oath of office for all city employees and citizen advisory groups We maintain the city code book. We certify city documents acting as a service agent for the city regarding claims, subpoenas and summons. Accepts and participates in bid openings of public projects.

We provide notary service. We're the elections official. ensuring that employees file their conflict of interest form 700 and issue a request for proposal for the selection of an adjudicated newspaper which we will then bring to the City Council for approval. Every year, we are required to select an adjudicated newspaper so that the public knows where to find our legal notices.

We also assist in the citizen advisory group appointments and accepts appeals. What we do. We prepare the agenda and minutes for the City Council, Oxnard Housing Authority, Oxnard Community Development Successor Agencies, City Council Committees and the Measure O oversight committee. In compliance with Sunshine Ordinance No. 2948, the City Council agendas are published 12 days in advance and committee agendas as well as the Citizen Advisory Group agendas are published 7 days in advance.

As the official keeper of the Oxford Municipal Code we maintain an update the code book for the city and it's available on the website We were also referred to as the historian. The city clerk's office maintains the minutes, resolutions, ordinance since the city was incorporated in 1903. The city clerk's office serves as the elections officials for the city and filing officer for statements of economic interest and campaign disclosure filings We ensure that all employees that are designated as filers comply with resolution number 15,837 to ensure that they file their annual conflict of interest statement form 700 by April 1st of every year.

We also ensure that the Citizen Advisory Board members file their Form 700, take their ethics and sexual harassment training and submit their certificates to our office. These trainings are valid for two years. As the elections officials we coordinate municipal elections and ensuring compliance with local state and federal laws. This is an important year. We have the June 2nd primary election and then we also have our general municipal election on Tuesday, November 3rd for Districts 1, 2 and 5.

The nomination period opens on Monday July 13th and closes on Friday August 7th. I will be coming to City Council in a few months to consolidate our election with the County of Ventura Elections Division And potential candidates file their nomination papers, code of ethics and other election forms with our office. We also administer the oath of office to all candidates.

We coordinate the Fair Political Practice Commission filings including the Statement of Economic Interest Form 700 and Campaign Disclosure filings which are made available on the city's website and also on available in the city clerk's page. Excuse me Next, the citizen advisory groups also known as CAGs. We accept applications which are valid for four years.

For those candidates that have been approved for appointment we administer the oath of office ensuring the timely filing of their form 700, their ethics and sexual harassment training and then each candidate is provided with a copy of the Roberts Rules of Order to ensure we have them sign a document stating that they received it so all CAG board members receive this.

The MADI Act, which is government code section 54972 in California requires local government legislative bodies to publish an annual list of their regular and ongoing boards commissions committees by December 31st making the public aware of how they can participate. And that list would also includes the expiration And we're supposed to post this by December 31st. I do want to point out that every time that we make an appointment, this list is updated and it's available on our website outside of the council chambers and in our city clerk's office.

The City Clerk's Office accepts and date stamps all public project bids. Bids must be submitted to the City Clerk's Office by 2 p.m., and a public bid opening in conjunction with Public Works Contract Administration staff is conducted here in the Council Chambers. We secure all bid bonds until the project has been awarded. And then if anybody is interested in seeing how this process works, tomorrow we have a bid opening at 2 p.m. for Public Works Project 20-95 Campus Park.

We also secure performance and labor, we also secure performance and labor material bonds for subdivision improvement agreements, plan development projects. And we work closely with community development as to the release of these bonds. Our role is to secure and safeguard these bonds. So I'm sure that you guys are probably wondering what a subdivision improvement agreement is or a plan development.

For example, we can take Sakioka Farms when that was being developed. There are conditions that the developer has to comply and then they're required to post a bond depending on the cost of the improvements and then once the city accepts those, then we issue a notice of completion and then we start to calendar the release of those bonds And acting as a service agent for the city regarding claims, subpoenas and summons. In 2024 we received a total of 285 claims in 2025 we receive 229 claims And then acting as the official custodian of record for the city, we're responsible for all City Council agendas, minutes, ordinance resolutions and legal publications. We maintain all City Council minutes, resolutions, ordinance since 1903 and these are maintained in a vault and the paper that we use is acid-free so if anybody is ever interested in taking a look at the vault and where we have these I'm happy to provide you with a little tour.

It's not a big vault, but so... Okay, so what are some of the challenges that the city clerk's office faces? Well, making the City Council resolutions, ordinance agreements publicly available so that the public can research from the comfort of their home. I'm currently working with our IT department to come up with a way where we can make these documents available. The records are already scanned, so it's just a matter of making them publicly available so that the public can research them.

Other cities have their resolutions and ordinance on their website. And so we need to just kind of follow along and get that. And that concludes my presentation, if you have any questions I'm available to answer any questions you might have.

Thank You Madam Clerk. Council Member Perlow go ahead.

Yes do you have any staff that works with you? If you name them and the second thing I believe You gave the date that people can file for anybody interested in running for offices. What's your state that they can file? Those are my only two questions. Thank

you. So Mayor and Council Member Peralo, we have two staff members. Dee is the Assistant City Clerk and Marisol is the Office Assistant. The nomination period for this coming election on November the 3rd. The nomination period opens on Monday, July 13th and it closes on Friday August 7th at 5 p.m.

Thank you. Mayor Pro Tem?

Thank you Mayor and thank you Madam Clerk for the information. I'm glad that there are a lot of people here to see that if they need to do research projects or find information on the city in the past, the clerk is who you would go to. And I just want to thank you for your work and I know you have predecessors who worked to keep things updated When you mentioned about the records, I'm working on a little project on the side and I had to go back to 2010 to find a very specific agenda item for the City of Oxnard and for another city. And not only was the minutes there for the City of Oxnard on the website but there was also the video of that meeting and the other city I had to request that information so just want to thank you for your work in bringing everything into the digital age going back.

And I know as time goes on, we'll get more and more available to us. So thank you very much.

You're welcome. Mayor and council members, I forgot to mention, we do have a list of all the mayors, all the mayor pro tem and all the council members from the time the city was incorporated. So that's a document that we're also going to make available as like a historical document. So if anybody is ever wondering when was the first female Thank you, Madam Clerk. Any other questions or comments?

Madam Clerk, are there any public speakers for your presentation that you're aware of?

And Mayor and Council Members we do not have any speakers in person or virtually for this appointment item. Thank you.

Thank you. There are no additional speakers. This is only receive-and-file so no action is required by council. Okay guys I'm going to get the gavel here okay

Mayor and council members, we need to take a break and then resume back at 6 p.m.. We'll have to take a short break and then we'll resume back at 6pm.

I'm so used to just going over running late. We're actually on time. The city clerk is very efficient. Yes she is. So if you guys just bear with us, we'll take a short recess and we'll convene here right at six o'clock okay? Go ahead Council Member.

If I could make a suggestion, Mayor. You might want to explain why when they have an agenda as the clerk has stated we have posting times of when the meetings start and that's why we do it so that way don't get in trouble and public might be interested to know how come that's done? Yeah.

Yeah, there you go. Hi everyone thanks for your patience and just want to call the meeting to order for the Oxnard City Council and the Oxnard Housing Authority for Tuesday February 17th 2026. Oh good Mr. Andrade coming up Madam Clerk, may we have a roll call and posting of the agenda

The agenda for this meeting was posted at the kiosk at City Hall, the Ochsner Public Library, the city administrative offices and on the city's website on Thursday February 5th I also have an announcement to read. Pursuant to Government Code Section 54952.3, each member of the Housing Board of Commissioners present will receive $50 pay for convening this meeting with the exception of Commissioner Starr who has declined to receive compensation. Thank you.

Thank you Madam Clerk. Next I'm going to pass it over to Councilwoman Rodriguez to introduce Yesenia Martinez, an 11th grade student at Channels High School will lead us in the pledge and also for a moment of silence we'll take as well.

Yes I'm very excited to invite Yesenia Martinez up here she's an 11th grader at Channel Island high school she's also a proud TRIO Upward Bound participant and for those not familiar with TRIO I too am alumni and it's just a transformative program that really changes lives for first-gen income qualified students so She'll lead us in the flag salute. And I also want to take a moment of silence because at Oxnard College we lost a retired professor, Jim Merrill who was one of our founding faculty back in the day and after 36 years of working at Oxnard College had retired but he created the OC Alma Mater and he just left a legacy so he was very passionate about the arts helped with a lot of the arts, OCTV and so much more. So a moment of silence for him.

Yes?

May we also add a very prominent political figure, Jesse Jackson and as you mentioned the arts, Robert Duvall. Tremendous addition to this nation.

Thank you. Thank you Councilman Perreault.

If you could all join me in standing up and taking off your hats for the Pledge of Allegiance. Place your right hand over your heart. Repeat after me. Ready? Begin.

Thank you everyone, thank you. When you're ready Yesenia go ahead.

Good evening Mayor McArthur and council members of the City of Oxnard as previously mentioned my name is Yesenia Martinez I would first like to thank you all for this opportunity to represent my community as I am honored to be here with you tonight I was born and raised in Oxnard, and I'm a part of Councilmember Perez's District 6. I am a current junior attending Channel Islands High School. My parents migrated from Guanajuato, Mexico around 20 years ago looking for a better future for their family. My parents have always been firm believers in the importance of education.

I was told from a very young age to never take my education for granted. I was, my mom stays at home taking care of us while my dad works all day in construction. These are sacrifices my parents have made in order for my siblings and I to be able to focus on our education and reach our own dreams. They didn't want us to need to rely on other people to take care of us or have to work longer hours every day unable to take breaks relax and miss out on the importance of family Because of their love and support, I have always had a love for school. One of the teachers that I remember most vividly from middle school was my fifth grade teacher. She was a Harry Potter fanatic and sprinkled Harry Potter whenever she could in our assignments. She encouraged my love for reading and was one of the reasons why I made the Millionaire's Club not once, not twice It was an accomplishment achieved by taking quizzes on books that students read and the more tests they passed, the closer they were to reaching one million words which was the minimum for being in the club.

I always strive to make it in the club every year, to make my parents proud. I have always liked reading though and I don't think that will ever change. Reading books helps you get into the mindset of the characters in the book and be able to relax and not need to worry about deadlines or working. Now that I am in high school, I try to get an AP or honors classes so I can keep my mind sharp and get ready for college but I don�t just go to my classes and go home everyday. I have always tried to stay involved in clubs One club that I am involved in is Avid Club, where I'm currently part of the cabinet as a fundraiser liaison. Where I work with my advisor Ms. Placencia to raise money for our club.

I am also involved in Key Club, HOSA for future medical professionals and Trio Upward Bound at Oxnard College One of the reasons why I was chosen today was for my involvement in Upward Bound. I had first found out about the program during my freshman AVID class because my teacher liked having people from different programs come and present to her students, to help expose them to various opportunities in the community. When I first applied, I wasn't sure if I was going to be accepted but a couple weeks later, I got a pass to go to the office and interview with the Upward Bound Councilor Luis.

I was so nervous, but his positive attitude eventually calmed me down. The interview went well and I was accepted into the program. My mentor was so nice and welcoming that I quickly became used to the program and made a new friend. We mostly stayed to ourselves until my sophomore year during the summer program. She would sometimes miss class, which forced me to get out of my shell and become friends with people that I already knew.

I still talk to them whenever possible, and the funny thing is that without TRIO, I don't think I'd have ever met them since we're all involved in different activities, go to different schools, and are in different grades. Albert Bound takes us on field trips to different places, whether it be academic like universities or for fun like parks. But Albert Bound also helped me meet important people in my community. For example I have met several of the council members serving on this board during the summer program last year. Since I'm involved in programs like AVID that helps prepare students for college, I already have an idea on how I want to continue my education after high school. I plan to go to a university that offers a bachelor's degree in nursing that's close to home, like CSUCI or Fullerton.

Then I want to apply to become a registered nurse and a couple of years later get my master's degree in midwifery to become a nurse midwife. I am choosing this career because I hope to help people in their hour of need. I want to enter the field of medicine because there aren't a lot of Hispanic nurses out there and I want to help change that. From my own personal experiences, there has been trouble finding people to translate for my mom because she doesn't speak English. When I become a registered nurse, I will help people feel more comfortable about the procedures that they are undergoing because I will be able to communicate more effectively with them and put them at ease. My goal for the future is to come back to Oxnard and serve my community as a medical professional.

Thank you for allowing me to speak to you on behalf of my community.

Thank you and I just wanted to thank Yesenia for coming out here. I know it can be nerve-wracking but she's always been very cheerful, friendly, hardworking and inclusive of all of her peers so thank you so much for representing well. And we look forward to having you come back once you have your degrees and helping pay it forward.

One of the reasons we do this just so everyone in attendance knows is to highlight the great academic talent that we have here in our community. Thanks to the great work of our local educators and just certainly things don't happen by accident is your perseverance, Yesenia and the guidance of your parents. Are they here today? Yeah. Who are they? Want to introduce them?

Just know you've got some great teachers Definitely have had an impact on you, but just know that this entire community is behind you and want to see you succeed. So we're all here to help you and be supportive. And if you wouldn't mind come up here, we've got a certificate for you. If you want to bring your parents up or any of your teachers or anyone from your school that's here supporting you they're welcome to come up here as well.

Thanks.

Good

to

see

you again. Okay, I was going to say we're heading for my classes. Thank you so much. What do you think? One, two, three. One, two, three. Thank you. Thank you. Congratulations.

And if you just will bear with me, the next item that we have is this is a ceremonial item. And this evening we have three. First I'd like to call up Alfie Schulman. And we have a presentation It's a presentation of our resolution after death, commending Len Schulman. The recommendation is that the City Council adopt a posthumous resolution commending Len Schulman for over eight years of dedicated service to the Measure O Citizens' Oversight Committee and here to accept that resolution is Alfie Schulman.

Thank you so much. Would you like to say a couple things?

My husband loves the city. He wanted to do everything possible for the enrichment of this city. He was chairman of the city council for 22 and a half years. He worked really hard to get our Eastwood Park new equipment,

for all his dedicated work. And for all you, I know we have a lot of students here, parents from Pacifica High School. You know things don't happen by themselves it takes the dedicated effort for people to volunteer and get engaged to make our community better and that's what Mr. Shuman did so after his passing it was hard to take because he committed so much of its time to make this community better and Ms. Shuman is here to accept this resolution that we have for her thank you Ms. Shuman

Mayor, before we

Excuse me I'll second.

I'm sorry who was the

maker of the motion? I made the motion and Mayor Pro Tem seconded the motion.

And this motion carries seven to zero, thank you.

Absolutely It's for me personally it's tremendous there's a lot of people here But the things that were said by the mayor, it takes a lot of people. A lot of years. This was a husband and wife team. They have kids and they involved with the city of Oxnard. One of the first times I remember him was in his neighborhood council. We have a council member here Mr. Aaron Starr that served with Len Schulman on the UREP some time ago, quite some time ago.

Mr. Shuman was instrumental in being a member of the PAC, Mr. Shuman was also instrumental in regional neighborhood cleanups when they did that for awhile. He led the neighborhood cleanups in his neighborhood. He had the national nights out. He did a tremendous amount of things that have gone unsaid but every time as you look at each other in the audience it isn't just the man, it's the woman by his side made a big difference in this community.

He's a tremendous loss

Thank you Council Member Perla for sharing those kind words.

Yeah well good evening everybody. You know it's one of the greatest satisfaction and feelings in life is serving And it's giving back to the community, but serving with a purpose. Whether it's a commissioner, whether it's city council, whether it's an oversight committee, whether its neighborhood council and serving knowing never forgetting the purpose is to serve the people in making a difference You know, I served 2016-17 as commissioner. We held the CRC, we held a town hall meeting with Chief Whitney back then and a lot of school administrators and we discussed suicide depression amongst young kids.

As commissioner, I sat in the Interfaith Council and we hosted our very first faith forum for the city of Oxnard where we gathered in Plaza Park and we had faith leaders different religions denominations come together for unity So what I'm trying to say is that, what we try to instill is that in a world that we're living in that there's so bad happening. There's still a lot of good that needs to be done and that's what we do. You know my nephew just got into the CRC he's a young commissioner and I commend everybody and I encourage all of you young people to get involved in your city and make a difference. So I appreciate all of you and I served as Commissioner but one day I hope to replace one of you in the dais

Thank you.

Mayor and council members, before we

second?

This motion carries 7-0 thank you

The next item on the agenda is the presentation of commendation certificates to the Pacifica High School boys football team for their victories in CIFSS Division III championship and the CIF State Southern Regional 1A Championship. And if I can just say a few, it's a powerhouse with Pacifica High School. I know I was just talking to Coach Moon out there Coach Kovarubia is back there. And I mean, I think Pacifica remains the only public high school to win a state champ back in 2019 under coach Moon and here in 2024 back-to-back in 2025 to make it to the state champs again or to the state bowl.

Lost both times but instead of making it, I mean, it's remarkable. I was doing good. I was so close, so close. We're just like Pacifica West. OK, I'm kidding Coach Moon but it's just for us is like when we heard Pacifica High School and not just football. I know there's other sports coming where you guys are just dominating and for us as a city you're putting us on the map when it comes to sports And to me personally means a lot, to us it means a lot that all of you young people are representing Pacifica High School and representing this city with just the tremendous amount of talent. You can't do it alone without the support of your parents certainly, without the support of your coaches many of whom are volunteers To try to just enhance your game and to us it's just, I mean we're just so proud.

We're just so proud that you're representing Oxnard. So when we heard you again made it to the state bowl, we wanted to honor you and bring you in here. I know right now it's presidential week. I know you guys are off school. So we don't have all of you other than the entire team here which actually It works out right, otherwise we'd have the whole place full. But we also invited the cheerleading squad to come here as well under Vanessa's leadership and the reason we did that is because we know how much more... I mean they're the bridge between the team and the fans.

They also intensify the game They elevate the atmosphere of football and motivate the players to play that much better. So they play a crucial role in the success of this team, so we wanted to make sure we honor them as well. So thank you Vanessa and thank you to all the juniors that came out here to be recognized. And if I can get maybe your help, but we'll start with you Gabriella, we'll call him up unless there's any other councilman want to make any comments or anything?

Absolutely.

So as we're getting ready for those, are we going to bring them up a section at a time Mayor and then we'll do photos? Okay so be ready alphabetical order if you're at the beginning of the alphabet get ready I just want to reiterate what the mayor said and thank you all so much thank you to the students the athletes our coaches our parents who supported it and all the staff who supported it as well.

I think what the mayor was trying to say is that even though we might have come up short that know that there's always lessons in everything And you went farther than all those other teams who came up short before you did. So, but... But lessons in everything. You persevered. You came out. You did your very, very best and we're here to recognize that tonight so thank you Mayor.

Yeah I think we're just gonna stop.

Maybe I can bring this to a new low. This is more than about football, it's about the game of life itself. We're talking about camaraderie, discipline, teamwork, the pursuit of excellence. These are all life lessons for you that's going to help you through the rest of your life so I hope Pursue life the way you pursued this game, because the game of life is what is basically going to be the end result. That is your pursuit. Thank you.

We're just going to call you up. We have an alphabetical order and if you just, we're going to call the coaches at the end but if you want to come up, we'll start filling in this first row here then once that gets full we'll go to the back if that's okay.

What you're hearing is what my household and neighbors have endured since December of 2021. This kept my partner Jeff awake during his final months when he was terrified, he'd stop breathing in his sleep. For four and a half years I filed complaint after complaint provided documentation and complied with every requirement yet the problem persists. Early on, OPD told me they don't respond to dog barking calls. When I asked Sergeant Shrub why officers were being told not to uphold the law, he said he didn't question it.

Under California Health and Safety Code section 46,000 excessive noise is a serious hazard to public health and welfare and all Californians are entitled to a peaceful and quiet environment. That state policy expects local governments to enforce their noise ordinances as written Not postpone action under fabricated interpretations. Through public record requests, I found that OPD made up a rule that two houses must be affected and report the incident twice before a hearing can be held. I included the email in the PDF I sent you all a few hours ago. I hope you all got it. The rule appears nowhere in the ordinance.
