Neighborhood chairs report cleanups, elections and airport comment push at INCO meeting

Neighborhood chairs used the INCO general meeting to report local events and to request support on a variety of matters, including cleanups, elections and a request to reopen public comment on an airport study.

Walter Hagen, Oxnard Shores chair, said his neighborhood’s board met and reviewed the Airport 150 study’s final draft; he said an exhibit referenced in the draft was not included and that Oxnard Shores intends to ask the airport authority to reopen the public comment period. “We’re going to ask the authority airport authority next week to open reopen the public comment period because there are several issues, including this 1, which was quite obvious because it was a major thing that wasn't in the final draft,” Hagen said.

Several chairs announced upcoming election meetings: Kamala (Robbie Lucio) planned an election meeting with Alex Nguyen, the city manager, scheduled to speak; Blackstock South (Chris Bissonnette) will reconvene an election meeting on Oct. 23 after a prior session failed to reach quorum; Orchard Park set an Oct. 23 meeting with Mayor Pro Tem Turan expected to attend. Chairs also reported neighborhood cleanups: Windsor North/River Ridge held a successful cleanup with city staff assistance, and Rose Park announced a bulky‑item/cleanup day on Oct. 4 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Other neighborhood items included a River Park meeting that will host Supervisor Matt Leever and staff to discuss watershed issues and a Rio Lindo meeting that featured speakers on CERT and code compliance. Several chairs thanked city staff and public safety representatives for participation at recent meetings.

The reports were informational; the INCO did not take action during the reports portion of the meeting.
