Citizen Advisory Commission 01-12-2026

The City of Port Hueneme's Citizen Advisory Commission convened to discuss two main agenda items. First, they reviewed and approved the co-hosted SplashColor 5K run/walk event, which includes a revised race route designed to reduce costs and logistical challenges. The Port of Hueneme committed $10,000 in funding for the event, supplemented by participant registration fees, with an expected attendance of up to 600 adults and 150 children. The commission expressed appreciation for the partnership and the event's community benefits. Second, the commission conducted an annual review of the city's legislative platform, which outlines the city's positions on various legislative topics to guide responses to county, state, and federal proposals. Commissioners discussed the platform's emphasis on local control, labor relations, and public safety, and recommended adding a specific section addressing immigration policy to reflect the city's stance clearly. They also suggested balancing tenant and landlord rights in housing-related policies. The commission approved the legislative platform with these advisory recommendations for city council consideration.
