City Council - 5/19/2026 - Agenda Item M2 - CIP

The City of Oxnard City Council held a meeting on May 19, 2026, to discuss the proposed five-year Capital Improvement Program (CIP) for fiscal years 2027 to 2031. The CIP includes 255 projects valued at approximately $1.3 billion, focusing on infrastructure improvements excluding routine maintenance. The council reviewed the prioritization and funding categories of projects, which range from fully funded urgent projects to those without identified funding. Funding sources include state and federal grants, development impact fees, and potential use of general fund and Measure O monies. The council was asked to provide input on the draft CIP, approve carryover projects, and direct staff to finalize the CIP after the fiscal year 2026-2027 budget approval. The meeting emphasized challenges such as deferred maintenance, staffing constraints, and high construction costs, and highlighted the importance of prioritizing projects based on urgency and funding availability. The Public Works and Transportation Committee's recommendations were also considered in the approval process.
