Ventura LAFCO approves audit contract, designates CALAFCO voting delegates, defers closed session items
Summary
At its meeting the Ventura LAFCO approved a professional audit services contract, designated voting delegates for the CALAFCO board election, and deferred closed-session attendance and other items; staff also reported potential housing proposals on the Oxnard Plain that may require voter approval.
The Ventura Local Agency Formation Commission approved several administrative actions at its meeting, including a contract for professional audit services and the designation of voting delegates for the CALAFCO board election, and it deferred closed-session attendance rules to a later date.
The commission approved a contract with Fetcher and Company, certified public accountants, for audit services for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2025. The contract amount read into the record was stated as “an amount not to exceed $13 and $853.” The commission moved and seconded the contract and then approved it without recorded opposition.
On CalAFCO board matters, commissioners declined to submit nominations for the 2025–26 CalAFCO board of directors when no interest was expressed for city-member or public-member seats. For the CalAFCO board election voting delegates, the commission designated one member as the primary voting delegate and another as the alternate; the commission approved the primary and alternate by motion and second. (The meeting transcript records the names used informally in the discussion; the commission recorded the motion and the vote.)
The commission deferred a separate agenda item about whether alternate commissioners should attend closed sessions, deciding to take up the matter at the next meeting along with the rescheduled closed session.
In the executive officer’s report staff noted two potential housing items on the Oxnard Plain that may require voter approval because they would likely require services and annexations into Oxnard and therefore potentially a voter (SOAR) process. Commissioners commented that the potential projects will likely require additional environmental review and local planning approvals before moving forward.
The commission adjourned after routine correspondence and commissioner remarks.
