Council Member Starr nominated Abel Velasquez to the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Commission and John Barrack to the Planning Commission during an Oxnard City Council meeting.
City Clerk Lulu Lopez told the council the recommendation was “that the mayor, with the approval of the city council, make the following appointments,” and presented the two nominations. Lopez said both nominees have passed the city’s formal background check procedures.
The Parks, Recreation and Community Services Commission is composed of seven members who must reside in the city and be at least 18 years old; its purview covers parks, recreation and community services activities in Oxnard. The Planning Commission is likewise composed of seven city residents and, Lopez said, carries duties described in the Oxnard City Code and the California Government Code, including preparing and reviewing the city’s general plan, implementing zoning and subdivision ordinances, coordinating local plans with other agencies, and reviewing the capital improvement program for consistency with the general plan.
Lopez said staff will return on a rolling basis with additional council nominations to fill remaining vacancies on the city’s commissions, committees and boards. The meeting transcript does not record a formal council vote or final appointment for either nominee.
Names mentioned in the presentation were Abel Velasquez, nominated to represent District 3 on the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Commission, and John Barrack, nominated to represent District 3 on the Planning Commission. No further qualifications or biographical details were provided in the transcript.
