# Finance & Governance Committee Meeting - 10/13/2026

The City of Oxnard Finance & Governance Committee met on October 13, 2026. The committee approved the September 8 and September 22 meeting minutes, 3–0. Its main discussion concerned the City Council committee structure, including meeting efficiency, public participation, staff and meeting costs, and whether issues should be reviewed by committees before going to the full council. By a 3–0 vote, the committee directed staff to bring forward a direct-to-council structure, with committees or workshops convened as needed, for consideration by the full City Council. No procurement activity, contract awards, or purchasing decisions were identified.

During public comment, a speaker opposed extending Measure E and cited an increase in City reserves from about $58 million to $147 million; the committee took no action on that comment. Members also discussed using targeted workshops for significant or contentious issues and providing information to councilmembers in advance.
