Pools and Spas
In a recent seawall inspection with the City Engineer, we mentioned the existence of a permitted in-ground pool in the neighborhood. We asked if the permitting of in-ground pools or spas contained any enhance engineering requirements to mitigate any infringement on the integrity of seawalls.
We were referred to Vytautas “Vyto” Adomaitis Director
Community Development Department
214 S C Street | Oxnard, CA 93030 O: tel:1-805-385-7882 | F: 805-385-7417
His response:
Building & Engineering verifies that pools adjoining waterways in the Channel Islands Harbor area are not imposing additional loading on, or otherwise affecting the integrity of the seawalls. We also verify that the presence of the constructed pool will not infringe on any maintenance easements owned by the City. There are different designs for the seawalls among the different housing tracts in this area that affect the ability of a pool to be permitted.
In the older tracts (Mandalay), pools may not be possible due to the location of seawall maintenance easements, while in Seabridge or Westport there are locations where a pool could be allowed.
For any additional questions regarding in ground pools and associated engineering requirements, please contact Asst. Director/Building Official, Jeff Pengilley, at 805-385- 8208.
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU)
We requested confirmation on the City’s position on ADUs as there appears to be some disparity between State and Coastal Commission positions.
We were referred to Vytautas “Vyto” Adomaitis Director
Community Development Department
214 S C Street | Oxnard, CA 93030 O: 805-385-7882 | F: 805-385-7417
His response:
Within the City of Oxnard, Accessory Dwelling Units are not currently allowed in the Coastal Zone.
In addition, we met with Coastal Commission staff in August 2020, and we discussed the recent changes in state law which generally allows ADUs in residential zones except within the Coastal Zone. The CCC staff encouraged us, and other coastal cities, to allow ADUs within the Coastal Zone. CCC staff suggested that we look at Santa Cruz’s ADU Coastal regulations which provide ADU restrictions / reasons for denial based on lack of parking. As part of the Housing Element, City staff did not propose and City Council did not provide direction to amend our LCP to allow ADUs in the Coastal Zone. For any additional questions regarding ADUs, please contact Planning Manager, Scott Kolwitz, at 805-385-3919.

How Does Our Homeowners Association Work
We’re a Little Different
If you own property in Mandalay you are a member of the the Channel Islands Waterfront Homeowners Association.
The Channels Islands Waterfront Homeowners Association (CIWHA) is lead by an All-Volunteer Board of Directors and Committee Members, which are voted on by the homeowners annually.
The Homeowners Association dues are $50.00 per year. However, with only about half the homeowners honoring their annual obligation ( 743 households X 50% = 371.50 households X $50 = $18,575.00 per year) the Association only collects approximately $18.575.00 per year. That does not provide much income for major projects and wish lists. Those funds are held and managed by the CIHWA Board of Directors for small regular billings, communications and small projects or the hiring of consultants if needed. Please refer to the annual budget in your newsletter or refer to the website www.channelislandsca.com
So how are major projects like seawall studies, monitoring and repairs, landscaping, water quality, dredging and such things paid for ?
On your property tax bill you will notice an Oxnard Waterway Maintenance District itemization. This amount runs approximately $500 to $1200 per year for each home in Mandalay Bay. These funds are not managed by the Homeowners Association. These funds are managed by the City of Oxnard requiring a vote by the Oxnard City Council for use. When thinking about this process you might recall back to your early school years when you learned how a Bill is turned into Law with the Schoolhouse Rock Jingle “I’m Just a Bill on Capitol Hill”.
So here’s how this works
- If the HOA Board or homeowners have a request for certain projects or capital improvements, the Board, acting as a liaison representing the homeowners to the City of Oxnard, must reach out or petition the Department of Public Works
- If the request falls under a pre-approved budget item such as regular landscape maintenance, the Public Works staff member may opt to assist in the request.
- If the request falls outside of a pre-approved budget item, such as capital improvements to landscaping, seawalls, water quality or dredging etc., and the Department of Public Works deems the request viable, they must prepare a report and submit the request to the City of Oxnard Public Works and Transportation Committee for approval. The Committee is comprised of Chair and 2 Council Members and is typically attended by the Public Works Director, City Manager and City Attorney’s office representatives. The meeting is usually held every other week. For times and to download the agenda please refer to the City of Oxnard Website www.oxnard.org and click on City Meetings and Agendas then Public Works and Transportation Committee. Public comments can be forwarded to the City Clerk for distribution to the Committee. You may also register to speak on non-agenda items or items slated for the day’s agenda.
- If the item is approved by the Public Works and Transportation Committee, the request is elevated to the City Council for review and approval. The City Council typically meets every other week. Please refer to www.oxnard.org for times and to download agenda items. Public comments can be forwarded to the City Clerk for distribution to the Council. You may also register to speak on non-agenda items or items slated for the day’s agenda. The Council’s recommendation will then be executed in the manor deemed appropriate by the Council, which could mean request for additional reports, proposals, contracts and so forth.
Can the funds in the Waterway Assessment District be spent without a request from our Board or homeowners ?
The answer is “Yes”
If the Department of Public Works and Transportation deems a project or maintenance item should be completed without a request form the Board of Directors and deems the funds should be paid from the Waterway Assessment District, the Department of Public Works and Transportation may go through the process and have the allocation of funds approved without notification to the Board of Directors.
This is one more reason the Board of Directors endeavors to watch for related agenda items and may request your support for and or against various items as related to our community.
What if there are not adequate funds in the Waterway Assessment District to pay for a project, as an example seawall repairs and replacement ?
Seawall repair and replacement have been a topic of discussion at our Annual Meetings. In 2020 the City presented a proposal on solutions and preliminary costs for the repair and replacement of the seawalls. At the 2021 Annual Meeting the City is scheduled to present a Geo Study on the solutions described at the 2020 meeting. The preliminary costs presented in 2020 appear to exceed the funds in the Waterways Assessment District. Should the City opt to move forward with one or more of the presented solutions, the City would then need to provide means of financing for both the City’s and the homeowner’s portions of the project. The City could elect to have the project completed in phases as funds allow, or there could be future discussion from the City on the possibility of creating an additional Assessment District or Community Facilities District(CFD) with the possibility of effecting a Bond to cover the costs. Any option for an additional Assessment District, CFD or Bond would require extensive communication from the City and would require a vote by homeowners and or residents registered to vote in Ventura County with details of the required process communicated to the community in advance. Under such circumstances the Board would be active in providing communication to homeowners in an effort to present information and or tools to better understand any options the City may declare.
Summary
In summary, the CIHWA Board of Directors serve as a liaison between the homeowners and the City of Oxnard. The CIHWA Board may offer recommendations but the final decision on any project, expenditure and authorization to allocate funds lie solely with the Oxnard City Council. This makes your voice and participation critical to the continued success of our community.
The Board of Directors endeavors to monitor Committee and Council meeting agenda items and may request your support for and or against various items as related to our community.
City Council and Committee Meetings can be viewed on the Oxnard YouTube channel or the Community Access channel from your cable provider.

Channel Islands Harbor Vision Plan
October 2020 – Be in the know!
50/50 Approved in 2020
October 6, 2020 The Oxnard City Council voted unanimously to support city funding for seawall repairs/maintenance. This resolution commits the city to pay half of all Seawall Repair and Maintenance costs.
After years of verbal commitments rescinded almost as frequently as made, this was a landmark decision and a vital step in laying the foundation of trust in establishing the public/private partnership for funding the future improvements to this vitally important infrastructure project.
There will be no increase in your taxes as a result of this agreement, until the homeowners/residents of Waterways 1 (Mandalay) vote to approve a new assessment district or funding mechanism.
YOU WILL HAVE A VOICE!
That same night the City Council also approved funding from a grant for a geotechnical study to gather information required to determine the best strategy for seismic resilient solutions for the future repairs/replacements. THANK YOU OXNARD PUBLIC WORKS!

PILASTER REPAIR PROJECT
We have received great feedback from homeowners whose pilasters have been worked on during the 2020 Pilaster Repair Project that is nearly complete..
FAQs
- Why is my pilaster not being worked on?
- Who decided which pilasters got fixed?
- When will my pilaster be worked on?
- What the heck is a pilaster?
Answers
The determination of the prioritization of pilaster repairs was determined by engineers who monitored more that simply the visual appearance of the condition of the concrete. The City and the engineers are well aware there are more to do that are within the scope what is being completed within this particular project.
When a project is approved by the engineers it requires permits by the Army Corp of Engineers and the California Coastal Commission. The permits for this project were obtained in Feb 2018. So in addition to funding there is a lot of planning that goes into determining which repairs are done and when.
A pilaster is a rectangular, vertical wall protrusion that resembles a flat column that sticks out from the seawall. They are not on all of our seawalls – only the Boise walls have Pilasters in Mandalay.
[See History of Seawalls]
LANDSCAPE UPDATE
We are working with the City in an ongoing project to revitalize the “barrier” area landscaping between Harbor Blvd. and little Harbor, to include new trees (over 50 planted so far!) new shrubs, and a complete reworking of the entrances to Mandalay Bay.
As with all City projects, and with an all-volunteer CIWHA landscaping committee, this will take time, but we are very encouraged by the progress made so far, and excited about the future plans for our community.
Channel Islands Harbor Visioning
The Ventura County Harbor Department has hired Sargent Town Planning to facilitate a “Vision Steering Committee” and has published a Survey to gather input.
As a neighborhood stakeholder CIWHA has been asked to encourage residents to participate in the survey.

The 50/50 Split – Oxnard Agrees to 50/50 split on ALL seawall repair and maintenance!
50/50 Split passed 7-0
OCTOBER 5 2020
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO SENT COMMENTS!
SUBJECT: Resolution to Affirm City Commitment to Seawall Funding.
RECOMMENDATION: That City Council adopt a resolution affirming the City of Oxnard’s commitment to share the repair/replacement costs associated with the Mandalay Bay seawalls in the amount of 50% of the total repair/replacement costs with the funding mechanism to be determined at a later date.
Approved by City Council 7-0
Coverage of the 50/50 Split
Article on Citizens Journal
By George Miller
After 20 years of little action by the city except stopgap repairs and studies, the current Oxnard City Council voted unanimously on 10-6-20 to agree to fund half of the estimated $200 million to renovate the Channel Islands Harbor Mandalay Bay neighborhood seawalls, for up to a 75 year additional life. The walls were built in the early 1970’s and are insufficiently resistant to the saline environment, earthquakes and are well past their useful life. This would be done over a period of many years.
45 years ago in August – Channel Islands Waterfront Homeowners appearing at City Council
8/26/1975 “Residents appeared to address concerns regarding algae vacuuming, naming of Waterways and whether or not homeowners should bear full cost of Waterways Maintenance.”
The historical records have been preserved and passed on over the years through volunteers with the Channel Islands Waterfront Homeowners Association (CIWHA).
Current HOA President Bill Clark shows up in historical documents with great regularity and his calm demeanor is and always has been an anchor in the extreme tidal fluctuations of City staff and local politics. I will forget many and want to apologies in advance for missing some steady participants!
From the past…
We owe a debt of gratitude to the hard work of many over the years

In the past few years we have had new volunteers form a Communications Team that in addition to facilitating communications has reviewed and brought much needed organization to past documents – not just on seawalls but landscaping and water quality as well which all blend into waterways 1

We also want to thank our District Councilman Bert Perello and the City Manager Alex Nguyen for prioritizing this and Public Works Rosemarie Gaglione and Jeri Cooper and Omar Ortiz for pushing ahead with what can be done in the as is state of our budget.

Committee Meeting July 28 2020
Public Works & Transportation approves amended resolution for seawall funding
https://tricountysentry.com/Article/Index/8d3013a1-dd7f-46fa-b412-de648ab50965
Oxnard– The Public Works & Transportation Committee, July 28, approved an amended resolution for seawall funding in Mandalay Bay and committed to 50 percent funding unanimously.
The committee also directed the city staff to work with Mandalay Bay and iron out all the details of the funding mechanism.
The original resolution committed the city to share 50 percent of the cost if the Mandalay community forms a community facilities district (CFD) to satisfy its obligations for the other 50 percent.
Oxnard moves closer to seawall agreement with Mandalay Bay residents

Use the Oxnard 311 App
Oxnard 3-1-1
Smart phone users – here’s your guide for the Oxnard 3-1-1 App, a quick and more efficient way to communicate maintenance issues to the City. They respond quickly and it’s a great platform for everyone.
Using the app is pretty straightforward, but there is one caviot for Mandalay Bay residents and we’ll cover that below.
1) Start by downloading and installing the APP
2) After installing and opening the App click “Make a Request”
If your request is for Mandalay Bay you must select “Assessment District Request” first.
When you report a problem you are in “SPECIAL DISTRICT Waterways-1”
You can also use the Application without a smart phone:
3. Here’s the caviot
After selecting MAKE A REQUEST, scroll down towards the bottom of the list and click on Assessment District Request . By doing this, it goes directly to the folks who manage issues relating to the numerous Special Assessment Districts in the City.
We are the Waterways Assessment District Zone 1
The rest is pretty self-explanatory, but we’ll walk it through:
- After selecting the Assessment District Request, you will be taken to a map.
- Click on the blue plus sign labeled REQUEST at the bottom center.
- Select a topic and follow along until you get to the map, which defaults to City Hall.
(If you move the map to our neighborhood you will notice the boundaries of our Assessment District.) - Enter the address of the issue you are reporting, or just the street name.
- Click NEXT at the top right.
- Now you can get more specific, add a description, or a photo, etc.
- Click on the blue SUBMIT REQUEST bar at the bottom and you’re done!
Important note about Streetlight Issues
One more general caviot: if you are reporting a streetlight issue, you need to look at the pole itself and see if there is an SCE sign on it somewhere
If so, the issue needs to be reported to Southern California Edison: https://www.sce.com/outage-center/report-street-light-outage.
Otherwise, send through the app.
You can also use the app anywhere in Oxnard if you notice an issue, but of course you won’t go to the Assessment District Request tab.
You can also use the Application without a smart phone from your computer. Or you can call the City.
The 311 app allows citizens to easily report specifically on the following issues:
Graffiti
Illegal Dumping/Trash/Service/Litter
Streets
Abandoned Vehicles
General Issues
Overgrown Landscape
Streetlight Out (Unless it’s SCE)
Water Waste and Leaks
Animal Safety Requests
Tech Support & Questions
Traffic Lights/General Traffic Issues
City employees have told us the app greatly improves communication and makes their job easier. It’s a lot better than a phone call, and because it includes all the relative data, is more likely to be properly handled.
