Quick Stats: 2016

Welcome to the City of Oxnard’s Year in Review, a look at key accomplishments from 2016.

Together, the City Council, City staff and community members worked alongside one another

to achieve great results including the development of the Downtown Vision Plan as a blueprint

a brighter future for Oxnard residents.

As you read through our accomplishments, you will find that our community has much to be

proud of. Together, we will continue striving for results that lead to a better Oxnard today,

Ventura County, CASandwiched between glamorous Malibu

and chic Santa Barbara, the seaside

cities of Oxnard and Ventura offer the

quintessential laid-back California

beach vacation—without breaking the

bank, says TravelingMom contributor

Mimi Slawoff of Los Angeles. You’ll

find secluded beaches with free parking

and smaller crowds than their big-name

neighbors, a clean boardwalk for riding

bikes or skating along, and an array of

kid-friendly water sports.There’s a pirate ship at Marina Beach

Park in Ventura where little ones can

play while older kids kayak through the

sea caves at the nearby Channel

Islands. (The water is so clear you can

see colorful fish without snorkeling.)

Ventura is also the gateway to Channel

Islands National Park. There, you can

catch a wave in the surf or a ride on

the Ventura Downtown-Harbor Trolley.

Where to Eat and Sleep: Both cities

have downtowns filled with mom-and-

pop shops and restaurants. Oxnard’s

agricultural history translates to diverse

culinary options and farmers’ markets.

In Oxnard, the oceanfront Embassy

Suites by Hilton Mandalay Beach Hotel

& Resort (embassysuites.com, starting

at $189 a night) offers spacious rooms

and free breakfast. The Ventura Beach

Marriott (marriott.com, starting at $188

a night) is a three-minute walk from

the beach. Or, to live like a local, rent a

beach house from a realty agency.

Improvements in Financial Reporting

• For the first time in several years, we dug deeper into our financial system to identify and begin resolving our financial reporting issues. In June 2016, we completed our most extensive audit, “Fiscal Year 2014-15 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report.” We began using the shortcomings discovered during the audit as a road map to financial recovery. As we move into 2017, we will continue prioritizing and implementing financial solutions.

Worked with our independent external auditors to conduct an extensive review of financial records, processes and procedures to provide a true picture of the City’s financial condition and operational effectiveness

Adopted balanced budget for fiscal year 2016-17

• Continued to confront the fiscal challenges that face our Wastewater, Water and Environmental Resources (solid waste) utility funds. Began the process of initiating proposed rate increases for wastewater services.

Is it OK to pour cooking oils and other fats down my kitchen sink if I run hot water down the drain and use the garbage disposal?When grease, food scraps, salad dressings and other fatty foods are poured down drains, they eventually cool and harden and can clog the sewer, even when you use hot water and the garbage disposal. The resulting backup can lead to health hazards, home damage, environmental problems and costly repairs. All fats, oils and grease – FOG for short – should be scraped into a container and tightly sealed before being disposed of in the trash. Once again, failure to properly dispose of fats, oils, and grease can result in sewer overflows. Residents who notice a sewer overflow should immediately call (805) 385-8136. And remember “Cease the Grease!”

The City of Oxnard is taking steps to revise limits on industrial discharges to the sewer system to protect water resources.Since discharge limits were last updated in 1999, there have been numerous changes at the Oxnard Wastewater Treatment Plant and within the service area. Many of the discharge conditions and parameters for maximum concentrations of pollutants are no longer effective.One of the biggest changes since limits were last revised is the addition of Oxnard’s Advanced Water Purification Facility (AWPF) that opened in 2012.The facility uses microfiltration, reverse osmosis, and ultraviolet and peroxide treatments in the recycled water purification process.The new limits will protect the finished water produced at the AWPF, which is currently used for irrigation.

Recycled water from the facility will also be used for industrial processes and to replenish the water supply stored underground in our aquifer. This groundwater will later be pumped from the aquifer and blended with other water sources before it is distributed to customers. The recycled water can also be used as a seawater intrusion barrier, preventing salt water from reaching groundwater supplies.The AWPF provides a reliable source of water that lessens the City’s dependence on costly imported water and groundwater.The new local limits are in development. The City is meeting with industry partners, after which a public hearing will be held. The changes will then be considered by the City Council and the Regional Water Quality Control Board. Approval is expected in May 2018.

City Scores Award for Public Service AnnouncementThe City of Oxnard was recognized by the state for its public service announcement

video about proper disposal of motor oil.The California Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) handed

out the Best PSA/Commercial Award for 2016 at a ceremony in Sacramento last month.

Four versions of the PSA were aimed at residents who change their own oil. The videos

emphasized that oil poured on the ground or down storm drains has detrimental effects

on the environment. The City has more than 20 used oil collection centers for residents

to safely dispose of motor oil at no charge.

AGING INFRASTRUCTUREPlagues Wastewater Treatment Plant & SystemOxnard’s aging wastewater treatment plant has experienced numerous equipment

failures and expensive, unplanned maintenance this year. About 40 percent of the

plant, which dates back to the 1950s, is in poor or very poor condition, according to

an independent assessment. Facility and system upgrades are long overdue.Some of the problems that have occurred since January 2016 include:

Unplanned maintenance is always more expensive because it involves an emergency repair. That’s what happened recently

when a 1980s-era pipe carrying treated but non-potable water broke. The break was located deep under a thick concrete ramp and would have been expensive to repair. Instead, City crews are

rerouting the pipe to avoid costly excavation. However, the water supply used for cooling and wash down in that area of the

plant is cut off until the work is complete.

The plant control system lost communication 92 times.

An odor monitoring system failed twice.The sewer overflowed three times, but was 100 percent contained.

Treated primary effluent was release into the ocean once.

Four sewer manholes failed.
