City Council 06 01 2026 N-4 - Fiscal Year (FY) 2026-27 Landscape Maintenance Districts

The City Council of Oxnard held a meeting on May 21, 2026, to discuss the Fiscal Year 2026-27 Landscape Maintenance Districts (LMDs). The council considered resolutions to initiate proceedings to levy assessments on real property within the city's 36 LMDs, approve a consolidated engineer's report detailing the assessments and maintenance costs, and declare the intent to levy these assessments on the property tax roll. The report consolidates all districts but evaluates each individually, outlining projected maintenance costs, funding needs, and assessment rates, some of which are proposed to increase or decrease based on anticipated expenses and fund balances. Two districts, LMD 25 (The Point) and LMD 53 (Huff Court), are projected to have negative fund balances, prompting staff to notify property owners about potential remedies. The total proposed assessments for FY 2026-27 amount to approximately $2.44 million. A public hearing was scheduled for June 16, 2026, to consider these resolutions.
