# Inter-Neighborhood Council Organization Meeting - 10/7/2026

The City of Oxnard Inter-Neighborhood Council Organization held a special meeting and candidate forum on October 7, 2026, featuring candidates for Ventura County Community College District Area 5 and Oxnard City Council Districts 1 and 2. Discussion focused on public budgets, Measure O and Measure E, city services, and capital needs rather than specific procurement actions. Candidates cited figures including more than $60 million in city reserves, an asserted $20 million annual revenue impact if Measure O funding ends, and $8.7 million committed to Mandalay Bay seawall repairs. They also discussed infrastructure priorities such as seawalls, the Santa Clara River levee, roads, sidewalks, and facilities; these were campaign statements and proposals, not meeting approvals.

No contract awards, bid approvals, vendor selections, or procurement-related votes were identified. District 2 candidates expressed support for project labor agreements, while discussing their potential cost and local workforce benefits; this was a policy position, not an adopted action. Community-college candidates discussed workforce partnerships, grants, and possible changes to reserve and funding policies, including one candidate’s reference to $1.5 million brought to Oxnard for programs. No specific spending allocation or purchasing decision was made, and the meeting concluded with adjournment.
