The Oxnard City Council approved six sets of appointments to citizen advisory groups and boards, confirming nominees to the Community Relations Commission, Cultural Arts Commission, Parks, Recreation and Community Services Commission, the Planning Commission, Senior Services Commission and the Measure O Citizen Oversight Committee.
