Jasmine McGintey, economic development manager with the City of Oxnard Housing Department, told the City Council on June 16 that staff is recommending the council adopt a resolution authorizing assessment and collection of fees for the Oxnard Downtown Management District for fiscal year 2026–27.
McGintey said the district, established in 2001 and renewed on July 2, 2024 for five years, now covers an expanded 32‑block area containing 432 parcels. She cited the California Streets and Highway Code as the statutory authority that allows cities to form PBIDs and assess property to fund services that benefit real property in the district.
The presentation listed FY 2026–27 assessment revenue at $622,185.14, including $446,402.28 from private owners and $175,782.86 from public agencies. "The revenue from private owners was $446,402.28," McGintey said, and she noted a proposed 3% increase in assessments from the prior year. The assessment formula is set forth in the district's management plan, which governs how revenues are apportioned.
McGintey described the district's core programs as civil sidewalks (street cleaning and public safety), district identity and placemaking (marketing, events, arts and holiday displays), and administration to manage day‑to‑day operations. She said the district is managed by the Downtown Oxnard Improvement Association (DOIA) and that DOIA must submit annual assessment materials to the council for approval.
On collection mechanics, McGintey stated that the County of Ventura collects the assessments through property tax billing, returns the funds to the city, and the city remits them to DOIA. She said the city will be responsible for assessments on properties it owns, including properties held by the housing authority and the parking authority. The city's FY 2026–27 PBID assessment is approximately $167,856.86 and is included in the city's proposed budget for the year.
At the close of the presentation, McGintey recommended the council adopt the resolution authorizing assessment and collection of fees for FY 2026–27. The transcript of the presentation does not record a council vote on the recommendation.
