Comm. Services, Public Safety, and Housing & Economic Development Committee Meeting - 5/26/2026

The City of Oxnard's Community Services, Public Safety, Housing & Economic Development Committee met on May 26, 2026. The meeting included a presentation by the Voices of Oxnard Youth on proposed city flag designs, with extensive community outreach and feedback incorporated. The committee discussed the flag design process and recommended further collaboration with local professional artists and the youth group to refine the designs before presenting a final version to the full city council. Additionally, the committee reviewed and approved a one-year agreement (A8624) with the Oxnard School District to continue operating the afterschool education and safety program, with funding not to exceed $2.5 million and a city match of $130,000 in in-kind services. The committee also requested a future study session on the city's inclusionary housing ordinance. Motions to move forward with the flag design collaboration and to approve the afterschool program agreement were both passed unanimously.
