Finance & Governance Committee - 5/12/2026 - Agenda Item D4 - FY 2026-27 Landscape Maintenance

The City of Oxnard Finance & Governance Committee met on May 12, 2026, to discuss the fiscal year 2026-27 landscape maintenance districts (LMDs). The committee reviewed and recommended that the City Council initiate proceedings to levy assessments on real property within 36 LMDs to fund ongoing maintenance of public improvements. Key agenda items included adopting resolutions to initiate the levy, approve a consolidated engineers report, and declare the intent to levy assessments. The report detailed projected maintenance costs, assessment rates, and funding allocations for each district, noting some districts would see assessment rate increases or decreases based on maintenance needs and fund balances. Two districts were highlighted for projected negative fund balances, prompting staff to notify property owners about options to address shortfalls. The total proposed assessments for FY 2026-27 were approximately $2.4 million. A public hearing was scheduled for June 16, 2026, to consider the resolutions.
