County Supervisors approve sending accelerated phase two application to the state

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Ventura-- The Ventura County Board of Supervisors approved its plan to move into an accelerated stage 2 for reopening the county.

The move comes right before Memorial Day Weekend as Governor Gavin Newsome changed some

of the guidelines that larger cities have struggled to achieve.

The county needs to send the request to Sacramento for approval but still needs some guidance to make sure everything runs well.

The expanded stage 2 program will allow dine-in restaurants (not including other amenities like bars or gaming areas), which are not permitted in stage 2.

It will also allow destination retail (retail stores) along with malls, swap meets, and schools with limitations.

Ventura County Executive Officer Michael Powers said he attributed the item to the work of the community, local businesses, and public health leadership, as they continue to follow the stay well at home orders.

NEWS Frosted Thoughts

My wife tells me that I am childish

By Chris Frost chris@tricoun­tysen­try.com Oxnard--I don’t know all the rest of you, but this whole COVID-19 thing is starting to wear thin on me. I have good days and bad days like everyone else, but my wife says that sometimes I tend to act like a big baby just because I have had enough with this virus.

T

O be fair, I am no treat to be around sometimes when we are stuck at home, and as a guy who makes his living by asking questions, that can wear thin on Janis. One example of this was the discussion we had about coffee creamer the other day.

I asked Janis if there is a difference between the store brand and the name brand, and she told me that she prefers the name brand. Then I asked her why she likes the name brand better, and she said she didn’t know. I continued to ask her questions, you know, little things like do you like the name brand creamer because it is the name brand creamer until she said stop it, now.

As a man, I realize that I can be trained to do almost anything but hanging around the house is not my favorite thing. There are a few events here-and-there, and I cover them because there are too many stories to tell to sit around the house.

I kid Janis, and she tells

everyone she is a good sport.

Honestly, she is a genuine hero and recently started working at a senior center.

The team at her location keeps the seniors happy and healthy, and she is on the front line of this virus and making a difference daily.

She starts working early, 6 a.m., and that means she has to get up at 4:30 a.m. to eat breakfast and get ready.

Here are a couple of tips if you

ever find yourself in this position. It’s not a good idea to play a recording of revile at 4:30 a.m., and it is also not a good i d e a to tell your wife what time it is every minute by minute.

I have done some binge-watching to kill time, but that tends to get old after a while. I thought I’ll watch the news until it makes me upset, and that meant 10 minutes of quality television watching before I start yelling at the TV. If your wife takes over the set and starts watching a courtroom drama, it is a bad idea to suggest that having circus clowns sitting in the courtroom is a bad idea.

She tries to help and suggest little projects, but it doesn’t help me to hear her

scream, “there is something wrong with the toilet” when I am sitting around bored out of my mind. It does not make me feel any better.

Of course, I am not laid off from my job, and I genuinely feel bad for unemployed people sitting at home and waiting for the Employment Development Department to pay their benefits. They won’t answer questions or take phone calls. I sent my questions to Governor Newsome, so we’ll see if he responds. If he doesn’t respond, keep that in mind the next time you go to the polls.

The bottom line is, this mess is affecting us all, and I think we can all agree that China needs to be held accountable for this situation. Meanwhile, take a look around. There are great organizations in Ventura County, helping people with food, resources to manage rent, utilities, and stress that has nothing to do with your party affiliation. People help people and don’t forget that.

NEWS City officials sound off about Molina

By Chris Frost of Atkinson, Andelson, Loya chris@tricoun­tysen­try.com & Romo wrote.

Oxnard-- The confidential report about City Treasurer Phil Molina continues with his continued use of the city’s email system to copy dozens of individuals.

T

HE report discloses the action taken by Molina served no official purpose and appears designed to undermine the city and its officials, mislead the public, and create a negative perception of the city organization.

Molina was ordered to immediately cease using his city email account to divulge confidential city information to the public by either copying or blind copying individuals who are not entitled to confidential information.

It removed his signature block footer from his official city emails in which he admits to releasing confidential information and express his disagreement with the city’s confidentiality policy.

“Cease using your city email account to send out mass mailings,” Jorge Luna

Nineteen individuals interviewed consistently stated that Mr. Molina sends out multiple emails daily that typically involve his communications with other departments and do not relate to their work assignments. They confirmed that they are typically blind copied on these emails.

These witnesses are Finance Department Employee #1 (“FDE #1), the Assistant. City Treasurer, Assistant Chief Of Police #1, the Purchasing Manager, IT Director/ Chief Information Officer (“IT Director”), the PW Director, TOE #6, Assistant City Manager, TOE #8, the CCS Director, the Deputy City Manager, the Treasury Supervisor, TOE #10, TOE #12, the Police Department Commander, Assistant COP #2, the Assistant.

Chief Financial Officer, the Controller/Senior Manager Internal Control (“Controller”), and the Management Accountant/ Auditor (“Auditor”). No one interviewed denied that Mr. Molina engages in the alleged conduct. Since Mr. Molina declined to appear for a second interview, the Investigator was unable to ask him for his position relating to this allegation.

City Treasurer Phil Molina

The public works director stated that, “it almost feels like he just likes to flex muscle, but it harms the city,” Luna wrote. “And if there is an error on billing or something comes up, if he could find something, he’ll blast it out. You know he’ll make it look like I’ve done this wonderful thing and found this error and saved the city, but he’s got a blind copy list of a whole lot of people, so you never know the other thing. He sends you an email, and he’s copying all kinds of people, you don’t even know who he’s copying. A lot of times, my understanding is that these would be people in

the community who are his supporters, so he has the opportunity to paint the city in whatever light he wants, and we don’t even know who he’s included in this email.”

To place the magnitude of this issue in context, the Public Works Director explained: “I was warned by the City Attorney’s Office that just know that he blind copies folks so be careful, just know that you don’t know who the recipients are if you hit reply all. And so there’s a feeling that sometimes he’s baiting you to an argument that can play out publicly.”

The Public Works Director complained that Mr. Molina uses his emails, including his blind copying, as a tool to achieve his agenda.

The Assistant Chief of Police #1 provided a written statement regarding the issue related to the Dallas Cowboys’ Training Camp.

The Assistant Chief of Police #1 addressed Mr. Molina’s practice related to emails and wrote: “Historically, he’s demonstrated that he will have a one-on-one conversation with someone and following their encounter, he will send an email to a wide distribution of “bcc’ed” persons, recapping their contact on

his terms and from his side of the story.”

These emails are typically cast with a negative slant toward others and are often self-aggrandizing.

Molina’s emails are known for mischaracterizing matters, accusing staff, questioning their integrity and character of the team, or grandstanding.

“His emails are often patronizing and condescending,” Luna wrote.

“Additionally, following his interview, the Assistant Chief of Police #1 provided the Investigator with a copy of a binder that he indicated related to Mr. Molina. In that binder, the Assistant. Chief of Police #1 included a string of emails related to Mr. Molina divulging attorney-client privileged communications to the public.

“The emails show Mr. Molina requesting and receiving advice from the City Attorney’s Office regarding an issue facing his department. The emails also show Mr. Molina then taking portions of those privileged communications and making them public,” Luna wrote.

The Assistant Chief Of Police #1 described Molina’s email practice as a huge strain on time in the city. n Molina, see page 8

SENIOR Savvy Senior

Do pneumonia vaccines protect seniors from coronavirus?

Dear Savvy Senior, Do currently offered vaccines against pneumonia provide seniors any protection against the coronavirus disease? I’ve always been bad about getting vaccinated, but this coronavirus pandemic is causing me to change my thinking.

Pro-Vax Patty Dear Patty, This is a great question.

Because the coronavirus (COVID-19) attacks the lungs and respiratory system, many readers have asked whether the pneumonia vaccines, which are administered to millions of patients each year, might protect someone if they contract the coronavirus.

But unfortunately, the answer is no. Vaccines against pneumonia, such as pneumococcal vaccine and Haemophilus influenza type B vaccine, do not provide protection against the new coronavirus.

This virus is so new and different that it needs its own vaccine. Researchers are in the process of rapidly developing a vaccine against COVID-19, but it is expected to take at least a year before it’s ready.

Having said that, you should also know that there are several other important vaccines the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that all seniors should get up to date on after the coronavirus pandemic dies down. Here’s a rundown

of what they are, when you should get them, and how they’re covered by Medicare.

Flu vaccine: While annual flu shots are recommended each fall to everyone, they are very important for older adults to get because seniors have a much greater risk of developing dangerous flu complications. According to the CDC, last year up

to 647,000 people were hospitalized and 61,200 died because of the flu – most of whom were age 65 and older.

To improve your chances of escaping the seasonal flu, this September or October consider a vaccine specifically designed for people 65 and older. The Fluzone High Dose or FLUAD are the two options that provide extra protection beyond what a standard flu

shot offers. And all flu shots are covered under Medicare Part B. Pneumococcal vaccine: As previously stated, this vaccine protects against pneumonia, which hospitalizes around 250,000 Americans and kills about 50,000 each year.

It’s recommended that all seniors, 65 or older, get two separate vaccines – PCV13 (Prevnar 13) and

PPSV23 (Pneumovax 23).

Both vaccines, which are administered one year apart, protect against different strains of the bacteria to provide maximum protection. Medicare Part B covers both shots if they are taken at least a year apart.

Shingles vaccine: Caused by the same virus that causes chicken pox, shingles is n Savvy Senior, see page 5

CORONAVIRUS HEROES | ON THE FRONT LINES

Emergency Medical Technicians While people working inside hospitals are clearly playing a heroic role, the first interaction many people have with the health care system happens in their own homes and offices.

Emergency medical technicians (EMTs) are in the middle of it all, out in the community as a first line of defense against a potentially deadly virus.

CHANGING JOB

According to reports in the New York Times, first responders in New York City are playing different roles than their usual routine.

Always a high-stress job with life-or-death consequences and tremendous time pressure, New York’s EMTs took on the added task of screening who should and shouldn’t go to the hospital in the heat of the coronavirus pandemic.

Some callers even fake symptoms, or exaggerate their conditions, in hopes of getting better care, the newspaper reported.

EMTs now have the uncomfortable role of telling some patients they shouldn’t go to the hospital.

RISKY CONDITIONS

While hospitals are known

for having sterile, somewhat controlled environments for treating medical conditions, EMTs have to work in the real world.

That means they’re dealing with unknown variables.

In addition to working through all kinds of weather and fighting traffic to quickly get to patients, they have to be prepared for the possibility that every person they interact with could potentially be carrying the COVID-19 virus.

They are also dealing with the same supply shortages as hospitals. Personal protective equipment is in high demand all around the globe, and EMTs are forced to make the

best of a less-than-ideal situation in many cases.

HAZARD PAY?

United States Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has suggested that coronavirus first-responders deserve hazard pay because of the extraordinary conditions they are working through during the pandemic.

According to EMS1.com, which covers the emergency medical industry, the idea gets a mixed reaction among medical employees.

“Many say the pay isn’t necessary, arguing, ‘we knew what we signed up for when we climbed onto the rig,’

while others note the extraordinary circumstances, contending, ‘while the job of paramedics and first responders has its inherent risks, the COVID-19 pandemic is outside the scope of everyday risks,’” an editor’s note reads.

DISPATCHERS

While they are not physically on the front lines fighting the coronavirus, the dispatchers who take emergency calls and communicate with first responders are no less impacted during the pandemic.

Calls for emergency services are reaching record lev-

els in many areas. The same calls for regular emergencies continue to come in from car wrecks, heart attacks and other health problems, and the coronavirus only compounds an already stressful job.

The safety of first responders also rests on how well dispatchers communicate. They have to gauge whether a patient has coronavirus symptoms so EMTs can arrive with the right protective equipment. Not only that, but they have to relay accurate information about addresses and other details that can save lives when time is at a premium.

SENIOR Love bugs are really not that loving Dr. James L. Snyder Here in Florida, we have what people call “Love Bugs.” I know exactly why they are called “Love Bugs,” but I am not fond of these little critters. Why don’t they just get a motel room?

Being shut down at home for quite a while it is not that exciting. You can only be shut down for so long.

On Tuesday, I needed to go across town for some quick business and office supplies. It would not take me long, and I would get back home in a short time.

“Anything you want me to pick up while I’m out?”

I queried the Gracious Mistress of the Parsonage.

I always like to try to help whenever I can.

She is a great shopper, particularly a great thrift store shopper. She knows every thrift shop within a 100-mile radius, but more than that, they know her by her first name. I, on the other side of the room, am not a very good shopper.

Quite a few times, my wife has sent me to the store with a list, and I could never get everything on that list.

I do not know why, but I would miss two or three items on her list. I am not saying because the list was

too long, that is probably the reason, but I am not saying it.

Knowing this, my wife shot back to me, “No, I can’t think of anything I’d like you to pick up. Drive carefully.” I sighed a deep sigh of relief, knowing that now I was not going to get into any kind of trouble.

Not many places are open this time because of the shutdown, so I did not have many choices. Therefore, I just did what I was supposed to do as quickly as possible and headed back home.

Please, do not let this get out to, you-know-who, but I did go through a drive-

through and picked up some very delicious ice cream.

I enjoyed it all the way home. For me, ice cream is much more delicious when nobody knows you’re eating it.

I almost got home when out of nowhere came a big dark cloud that hit my truck in the front as I have never been hit before. At first, I thought it was the apocalypse.

When I got through it, I realized I had hit, or rather, they hit me, a group of “Love Bugs” and were smeared all over my window and the front part of my truck. I used to have a silver truck,

Zostavax be revaccinated with Shingrix because it’s significantly more effective.

All Medicare Part D prescription drug plans cover shingles vaccinations, but coverage amounts, and reimbursement rules vary depending on where the shot is given. Check your plan.

Tdap vaccine: A onetime dose of the Tdap vaccine, which covers tetanus, diphtheria and

pertussis (whooping cough) is recommended to all adults. If you’ve already had a Tdap shot, you should get a tetanus-diphtheria (Td) booster shot every 10 years. All Medicare Part D prescription drug plans cover these vaccinations.

now it was just about all black, at least in the front.

I know they are “Love Bugs,” but at that time, I did not feel any kind of love toward them. I was feeling the exact opposite, but I will not mention it.

When I walked in through the front door at home, my wife saw I was more agitated than ever.

I even slammed the door behind me, which indicated how aggravated I was.

“What happened?”

I just looked at my wife and then said, “Those lousy Love Bugs attacked me as I was driving, and they’re all over my truck. I’m never going to get them off.”

With that, I went, got a bucket of water, and tried to clean them off my truck.

I noticed my wife was smiling as I left and said to me, “You should drive more carefully.” Then she snickered. I hate it when she snickers.

No matter how hard I worked to get those bugs off my truck, I could not get them all off. It was a dark reminder of bug love.

When I walked in, my wife said, “Well, did you get them all off your truck?”

Then she gave me one of her infamous snickers.

a painful, blistering skin rash that affects more than 1 million Americans every year. All people over age 50 should get the new Shingrix vaccine, which is given in two doses, two to six months apart.

events are a welcome sigh of relief for people who are out of options.

Food Share Ventura County Chief Executive Officer and President Monica White began the Food & Fund Drive to collect donations, but the people who are coming by need food.

“They hear Food Share and equate it with the distribution we have been doing,” she said. “We had to go back to the warehouse and pick up three pallets of food, and we have been distributing more food than collecting donations.”

She reflected on the

“Good old Days” when the unemployment rate was at 3 percent, but unemployment is through the roof, and the newly unemployed need to find ways to make ends meet.

“They can come here and get shelf-stable food, produce and other distributions, as well,” she said. “If people haven’t gotten their unemployment or stimulus checks, they’re going to need help at the end of the month to make ends meet. One of the things we do here at Food Share is to provide them with nutritious food.”

Food Share Ventura County typically gets most of its food donated, she said,

STATEPOINT CROSSWORD THEME: TONY WINNERS

but because of the supply chain disruption, there is not enough food that they usually pick up.

“Everyone is stocking up at home,” she said. “We had to purchase more food.

We’ve gone from purchasing $50,000 worth of food a month to $300,000 worth of food every month. Our monthly expenses have doubled to feed the additional amount of people.”

Food Share normally feeds 75,000 people a month, but in April, they served 130,000 people.

“We worked with The Collection’s administrative team, and they very

generously offered us space,” White said. “If you would like to do something on a Saturday, we would love to host you. All of the places we’ve had our pop-up distributions have been more than willing to donate space, volunteers, and dollars to help us do what we do.”

People who dropped off food have mostly given peanut butter, pasta, canned fruit, and vegetables.

“The cost of peanut butter has skyrocketed,” White said.

“It’s valuable and nutritious to the people we serve. It’s packed with protein, but it is expensive.”

through stage 2 quickly if it meets the readiness criteria.

“We met most of these criteria, but there are a few that are at a high bar level that only rural counties can meet, and that’s what happened,” he said. “Approximately 24 of those smaller counties did get approved to move through stage 2 quickly.” The county is preparing an application for verification of the criteria so it can get a variation, he said, so Ventura County can continue to move forward.

On May 18, Governor Gavin Newsome said he is changing the criteria, so counties like Ventura that may have a hard time meeting the criteria can do so. This change gives the county the ability to pivot and move forward.

“The business community has been such great partners and made such a great sacrifice and followed the orders,” he said. “They come to the table in the spirit of compliance. They

want to protect their workforce employees and customers, and they have wonderful ideas about how to do that.” In stage 2, Powers said the county has moved into curbside retail, manufacturers logistics, and office businesses, car washes, pet grooming, landscaping, outdoor mu­seums, and open galleries.

“What we understand is curbside retail is better than being closed,” he said. “It puts them at a disadvantage to bigbox retail or online retailers.”

The county will send the approved attestation to the state right away.

“We’ve had a lot of good talks with the state,” Powers said. “We’re really dialed in on what’s needed and what they’d like to see here, locally.

Businesses that want to reopen must register and have all the requirements in place to open their doors, but they don’t require an inspection. The county will

have an ambassador program to check-in and make sure everything is okay.

As of May 19, 2,386 businesses have registered,” he said. “Reopening is happening, and we’re excited to see that. We are asking essential businesses that are already open to register.

That is important because by industry practicing some physical distancing standards have been developed.”

Chairman of the Board Kelly Long said county residents want to open as much as the supervisors want it to happen.

“On our Sunday night call, we talked about faith-based offices, our Recreational Vehicle Parks, youth sports, as that comes with the camps, and also the schools,” she said.

“What are those regulations?

The beaches, with the parking, what are the regulations for opening them up, and going to the beach and actually sitting and enjoying lunch?”

Dental was just put in, along with gyms, and hairdressers.

She wants to reinforce the fact that the supervisors are having those conversations.

“How can we get those open as quickly as possible,” she said. “What are the procedures? We know that Memorial Day weekend is coming; however, that doesn’t mean that we don’t socially distance. We have questions about when do these open?

Is it in a day, is it in a week?

We’re working with the state on those.”

Supervisor Steve Bennett asked Powers to review where the religious communities sit,

as far as reopening and what is and isn’t allowed.

Long interjected that they are getting information about the churches, and once they receive that information, they’ll get it out to the public.

“It’s the amount of people that are being brought together,” she said.

Powers said the governor would have new guidance on that in the next couple of weeks.

“It’s still streaming services and limited to no more than 10 people,” he said. “Counseling services can be open.”

Supervisor John Zaragoza said he’s getting a lot of calls about opening hairdressers, barbershops and nail salons.

Powers said he recognizes the need to open cosmetologyrelated businesses. “We were on a call with the state and talking about these very issues and raising them, as they are important to be reopened,” he said. Newsome told the supervisors that stage 2 does not allow those businesses, but he hopes to provide more guidance in the next couple of weeks. Supervisor Linda Parks said it’s terrific that Ventura County has met the thresholds that allow them to do the attestations for an expanded stage 2.

“A lot of that has to do with the good procedures we have in place,” Parks said. “Some are being modeled elsewhere. I see now that all retail is available to our constituents. I see some big steps here. One of the things the governor mentioned was shopping malls, so it allows for a significant opening of our economy. We don’t want more people to end up in the food lines.” Supervisor Bob Huber appreciates seeing more things open for residents to be out and active.

“One of those things is to be active at the beach,” he said.

“I have voiced before that you can control the crowds and open up some of the spaces for beach parking. Maybe you can allow parking on half or a

third of the spaces. Each space will create a situation where people aren’t able to use the beach at all. My understanding is that preventing people from parking at the beach does not violate the Americans with Disabilities Act. On a practical level, prohibiting disabled people from parking at the beach is discriminating.”

Long appreciates the comments made by the supervisors, and she wants people to resume their lives, return to work, and be safe.

“I think local control is extremely important for us,” she said. “We can adapt better. Thank you to everyone whose been on those calls and supporting our community.”

Public Health Director Rigo Vargas said 12 people have tested positive for the COVID-19 virus on May 19.

“We are also reporting the 453 new residents have been tested,” he said. “They are not positive, but they have been tested. We are increasing our testing capacity.” He also reported four deaths, which bring the Ventura County total to 29 people.

“Yesterday, we reported that we had 26 COVID-positive people in the hospital,” he said. “Those are people who hopefully will get out of the hospital, but it is a serious health condition.”

The state changed the Epidemiologic Data, and the county fully meets the requirements to move into accelerated stage two.

“You can have either a less than 5 percent increase of hospitalized COVID-19 patients in the last seven days or no more than 20 patients in the hospital,” he said. “We meet the first one, and I am happy to report that in our hospitals we are showing a 3.5 percent decrease in our numbers. As long as we show no more than a 5 percent increase, we will be able to move forward.”

TRI-COUNTY SENTRY, FRIDAY, MAY 22, 2020

NEWS Fees continued from page 1

Recreation Fee, Traffic Circulation Fee, Storm Drainage Fee, Utility Underground In-Lieu Fee, Public Art Program Fee, and Mobility Fee. The item included an automatic annual inflation factor, amendments, and additions to Chapters 15 of the Oxnard City Code.

C o m m u n i t y Development Director Jeff Lambert said he would act as the emcee on the agenda item and had two consultants who were participating remotely.

“This has definitely been a group effort to bring this to the city council tonight,” he said. “The department staff, public works, community development, the city attorney’s office, and city manager’s office has been hard at work to bring this item to you tonight. We are led by Chief Darwin Base, who has been our leader and executive sponsor of this.”

He called it an essential item, and the council knows the city staff has been working on the project for a couple of years.

“It culminates with a lot of

work behind the scenes and engagement to bring it before the city council tonight,” he said. “This is a strange time to discuss the cost of impacting the development in the community and the world, considering the economic crisis we’re all going through.”

Regardless, Lambert said it’s still important that the city discuss the fee adjustments and align them with where they should be.

The item was lengthy, and Lambert said he wanted to be thorough and get the full item on the table to discuss.

Development Impact Fees Development Impact fees are provided for under the Mitigation Fee Act, he said, and are one time fees on new development to mitigate their impacts.

“New, or expanded city buildings and equipment are included, new or expanded parks are included, and reduced traffic impacts are included by what the fees can pay for to make

the improvements in our community,” he said. “Without adequate facilities and fees, the city’s infrastructure will become overwhelmed and lead to further reductions in service and quality of life in our community.”

Updating the fees regularly is a best practice, he said, and that has not been done in Oxnard.

“We have some fees, like the park development fee, has not been updated since 1972,” he said. “That’s the oldest fee, but 2007, 2005, and 1991 for the traffic, growth, and storm drains are out of date fees. They should be updated every five years and have a regular cost of construction increase on an annual or semi-annual basis to make sure we keep up, so we don’t have to make these changes all at once.”

The fees are based on the cost of the facility’s vehicles and equipment that serves development in Oxnard.

“They are based on factual evidence that the cost the development has to provide services,” he said.

“It’s important to remember

that as we go forward.

The amount of the fee is tied to the city’s specific infrastructure and facility needs. It’s hard to compare cities to cities, although we have provided that in the presentation. Understand that we are driven by our particular circumstances in the City of Oxnard.”

The fees must not deter development in the city, and Lambert said as he also is in charge of economic development, it is important to him, as well.

Lambert said the cost of land is less than it is in the surrounding communities.

“It doesn’t sound like a big number if you’re talking about cents per square foot, but when you talk about large projects, we are significantly below the neighboring cities,” he said. “Even Moorpark, Camarillo, and Ventura are all 10 cents per square foot above us. It is a reflection of the kinds of costs we are all talking about.”

The city also looked at land acquisition and sales prices, which is harder to compare.

“It depends on the individual properties that we’re talking about,” he said. “Oxnard’s average over several transactions is about $12.50 for the sale of industrial property.

Thousand Oaks was over $20 a square foot, and Simi Valley was a little higher than us at $13.15 per square foot. Ventura was almost $20 a square foot. Even with the cost of land, we are below other communities.”

A fee increase is justified, he said, and it’s getting done for the right reasons.

“Given our cost of land, we might still see that development come to our community,” he said.

The city asked for input from the council, and he said the city needs to be in line with the actual cost of infrastructure that is specific to the City of Oxnard.

“When we looked at other cities in the region and the full cost of development, we are more inline when you look at the development cost,” he said.

This story will continue on May 29.

times all the line staff that, at the police department, that were receiving emails as well, because I know people at the line-level still, you know, and I talk to them, and they’re like “hey, who is this Phil Molina guy?” The people who didn’t know who he was, “why am I getting all these emails from him?”

People were telling me that they were seeing all these odd emails that were popping up. They were getting any from once a day to several times a day. And so, that’s taking their time, not just mine. This is multiplied by a factor of nearly 400 employees, at least, in the police department who are potentially getting these. The

materials he sent, you know, like I said, had nothing to do with police operations.

They were oftentimes either I would call, like some squabble between him and either the City Attorney, the City Manager, the IT Director, those were three people he was particularly very back and forth with.

I would say quite nasty with them. A variety of topics, especially the City Manager, the City Attorney, he included some emails of discussions that he had with the mayor, so anyway.

Seeing those things happening did take a lot more time. And so, at some point, you make a decision whether or not you’re going

to continue to read them or you’re going to just start deleting them, and so what I saw happening was, in my opinion, was a gross abuse of the city’s resources and colossal impact on staff time. Add to that, there were a few occasions where I did respond to him, so the time to go back and forth with him on a particular issue takes time, and these are usually over things that I was questioning why he was doing. It took me a little bit of time than it would for any other email because I realize that I’m writing something to an elected official. I need to make sure that the email response is professional,

it’s articulate and prepared to be put in front of the potential bcc audience, for example, if we go back, we’ll probably get to this later, but the July 30th incident that happened with him and some City staff here, it took up a significant portion of my Thursday, Friday, and part of my weekend just dealing with his emails and dealing with the collateral damage that was taking place because of that, so it’s unreal. It’s unreal, inappropriate, and unnecessary. I think there are ways that I feel that what our, not just myself, but other employees and staff members and City employees had to deal with.”

Molina continued from page 3

“It is exponentially disproportionate,” the report said. “I would put that in quotes. Like, I could qualify that a little bit further. In terms of that, prior to him, assuming his office as the treasurer, we spent very little time as I mentioned and so now, not only was I getting several bcc emails a day, and I would read through them to see where are we going with this, does this have anything to do with me?

Does it have anything to do with the police department?

You know, and find out when you get through the string that it has nothing to do with anything to do with the police department, that takes time. Multiply that

are going to be able to get more food out. We’re expecting hundreds of thousands of boxes of produce. We need to tie those in with our current distribution model to get those out as soon as possible.”

Kirby Subaru Kia Ventura Event Chief Executive Officer Bruce Holley takes the cars off the property and does events in the community with non-profits. The dealership feels passionate about helping people.

“We’re heavily involved,” he said. “Subaru America is donating 50 million meals through Feed America. We are doing our little bit here with Food Share Ventura County.”

Kirby Subaru Kia got involved with Food Share six years ago at their Feed SoCal event in Simi Valley.

“That’s a tie-in with Subaru in the L.A. region, along with ABC Channel 7, and us,” Holley said. “That’s been a great relationship. People like Jennifer and Monica have made it worthwhile to stay with them because of their dynamic personality and enthusiasm for doing this.”

He loves Food Share Ventura County’s mission and said feeding people who need help means a lot.

“Food allows people to be energetic, spontaneous, and it builds confidence,” he said. “If you don’t have food to fuel your body, it’s about the mission.”

Holley said the fallout from COVID-19 leaves a lot of pain in his heart.

“It does our hearts good at the Kirby Auto Group to give back,” he said. “We’ve been around here in Ventura County for 55 years, and we have a lot of customers and families in this county that our loyal to us. It makes me smile to give back.”

Kirby Auto Group has seen changes to its business model because of COVID-19, but the dealer has shifted gears and took a customer-centered approach to serve the community.

“We’re bringing cars and paperwork to people’s homes so they can do the deal in their driveway,” he said.

“As far as service goes, we’re really COVID-19 conscious with masks and disinfecting, so when people bring their car in for service, they feel comfortable being on the grounds.”

Food Share Ventura County and its staff are vital to him.

“A lot of these people are volunteers,” he said.

Food Share Ventura County Grants Manager Kristy Pollard got involved with Food Share Ventura County when she moved to Ventura County. She was proud to be part of the event at The Collection.

“I saw there was a position available at the food bank, and I wanted to learn a little more about it,” she said. “I have been with Food Share for 15 years. COVID-19 has created an unprecedented need for food, as the demand has nearly doubled. We are working in overdrive, and we ramped up to make sure that no one in Ventura County goes hungry.”

The current situation spawned the start of no contact pop up distribution in the county to serve the great need of its residents.

Pollard and Food Share volunteers and staff also tend to the emotional needs people have if they’re on edge and emotional because of the situation.

“We tell them we’re with them for the long haul,” she said. “We’ll continue to be here, and the community is ready to assist them in any way we can.”

Cultural and Community Services continues to grow virtually

By Chris Frost chris@tricountysentry.com Oxnard-- In a report to the Oxnard City Council, May 19, Cultural and Community Services Director Terrel Harrison said his department has stepped up to provide out of the box options to local kids, as we all face COVID-19.

O

N March 11, Oxnard had to shut down its Senior Centers, RSVP Programs, the Special Populations Program, and the boxing centers.

The department moved into a complete shutdown on March 13, which included the city’s after-school programs and recreation classes.

Harrison said the department is charged with improving the community’s quality of life and had the challenging task of meeting social distancing requirements, while continuing to bring the programs forward to maintain quality of life for as many residents as possible.

Library Manager Sofia Kimsey said the library transferred most of its services from inside the venue to digital services.

“We’ve been able to provide a lot of services by doing everything through social media,” she said. “The Oxnard Public Library has virtual story times, and we’re listing those on Facebook and Instagram. These story times are interactive ways that parents can encourage

their little ones to continue to read. The books we are sharing are available through our website to check out virtually.”

All this week, the library will have a story time that celebrates Asian Pacific Heritage Month.

“Some of the story times we’ve had over social media have engaged over 160 people at a time, just to hear a story time,” she said. “We have an active youth services group.

We’re working with a website called “Teen Health and Wellness,” and through this website, we are encouraging teens to write about their experiences while we work through COVID-19. Some of them are very personal experiences. We have several people involved with our teen council at the South Oxnard Branch that are interested in writing some of their feelings down and submitting them to this organization who are supportive of what we are doing in libraries. They will present students with certificates and honor their work through our website and their website, as well.”

People can call the library at 805-385-7582 if they have an interest in any teen services.

“We also had a teen author Zoom event this month,” she said. “That involved a teen author who spoke about her experiences with autism.

We had quite a few people join in on that Zoom event to hear her speak about her experiences.”

The library is also hosting virtual book talks, and they are putting them on social media.

“They’re for all ages,” Kimsey said. “These virtual book talks whet the appetite of any listener who wants to

find out more about different genres and formats they can access from our website and checkout material through e-content.”

The library is adding books to the website almost daily, she said, and they’ve been working with the state library consortium regarding electronic resources.

“We’ve been able to add over 200 Asian-Language periodicals to our website lately at no cost to the city,” she said. “We’re also adding about 70,000 e-books to our e-book platform.”

People who don’t have a library card can call, and the library staff will help them get one over the phone.

“We don’t want the community to forget that we are there for them, and all you have to do is give us a call,” she said. “Our services are available in Spanish and English.”

The library has launched its Senior Wellness Check, and they are calling 10,000 seniors in the city that have library cards.

“We’ve been able to call about 2,000 so far, and we’re checking on them and making sure they are doing well,” she said. “We’re making sure they are aware of our services and provide them with answers to questions they may have.”

Community Services Manager Renee Rakestraw said the Community Services Department has responded to the pandemic and continues to serve Oxnard.

The department started visiting the city’s 53 parks starting April 17, and they continue to visit them seven days a week.
