City Council 1 20 2026 Agenda Item N1

The City Council of Oxnard discussed and recommended approval for submitting a grant application to the U.S. Department of Transportation's Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development (BUILD) grant program. The application seeks $12 million in federal funds, requiring a 20% local match of $3 million from the traffic circulation development impact fee fund, totaling $15 million. The grant would support the pre-construction phases of the Del Norte Boulevard interchange upgrade project, addressing safety and operational deficiencies of the existing bridge. If awarded, the city will recognize and appropriate the funds accordingly, with the city manager authorized to execute the grant agreement.
