Thank you, Nora for your insightful reports of the City Council meetings. As a longtime resident I’m sorry you’re being subjected to this behavior, but grateful there are people like you who see the real truth behind these attacks on our mayor and others on the council.

Thank you so much, Shannon. It's feeling a bit like a calling right now for me to be there, serve however I can while I am there, and then write it up. I'll keep doing it until I am directed elsewhere. Sending you love.

Nora, thanks for writing this piece. I attended the meeting through Agenda Item #2 (....Unhoused Resident Population). As you are aware, I addressed the Council concerning that item. Over the next couple of days, I watched the rest of the meeting on the YouTube video made of the meeting. Your reporting of the meeting is quite accurate. It surely seems (STRONGLY) that there is a concerted effort by a certain group of individuals to obstruct pretty much everything supported by Mayor Stix. It saddens me to see this happening in our community. The art of compromising seems dang near lost by some individuals. But, please keep plugging away, as I will too. And...........THANK YOU!!!

Hey Nora! Full disclosure, I stopped reading shortly after the unhoused part because I was compelled to look up some info & share it. You didn’t ask & idk if it is helpful, but I was compelled. You &/or the powers that be who are making decisions may already know, but your area’s continuum of care (CoC) receives almost $3.5 million annually to assist the unhoused with short and long-term solutions - if I’m reading accurately: CA-611- Oxnard/San Buenaventura/Ventura County CoC. I don’t know them or their work, but I know the CoC system. Okay - I’m gonna curb my already lengthy comments, except to say that I hope the city collaborates on a solution if possible. Disregard or delete if not helpful.

Thank you, Shannon. I do know that the city is working directly with Continuum of Care. Sounds like our Ventura County person in that org is fabulous from comments made at the meeting.
