City staff asks Oxnard City Council to ratify $23,500 Home Depot Foundation donation for Colonial Recreation Center

A city staff member asked the Oxnard City Council to ratify acceptance of a $23,500 donation from the Home Depot Foundation to renovate the Colonial Recreation Center.

The staff member said the gift would be used to "purchase materials and supplies for services to be provided by the Home Depot volunteers for the public purpose of facility improvements at the Colonial Recreation Center." The presentation opened the item for council consideration; the staff member said the recommendation was that the council "ratify the acceptance of $23,500 in grant funds."

City staff described the funds as a grant for materials and supplies and said Home Depot volunteers would provide the labor. The staff member added that they looked forward to discussing the item with the council in more detail during the meeting. The transcript contains the presentation but does not record a motion or vote on the item.

If the council ratifies the acceptance, the funds would cover materials and supplies for volunteer-led facility improvements at the Colonial Recreation Center. The staff presentation did not specify a project timeline, contractor details, or additional funding sources.
