Santa Paula News

The City Council will meet a new police officer as well as hear about Santa Paula’s role in an upcoming famed music festival and a high honor for city staff at Monday’s regularly scheduled meeting. A continuation of a budget discussion and other business will round out the session.

The May 16 meeting will start at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall Council Chambers. The session will be broadcast live by Time Warner Cable Channel 10 and replayed according to schedule. The meeting will also be live-streamed on the city website and archived for viewing on demand.

Presentations will include the council being introduced to newly hired Police Officer Justin Cortez; Planning Director Janna Minsk will accept the prestigious APA Central Coast Planning Award and Public Works Week will be recognized. The Chamber of Commerce will also update the council on the upcoming Ojai Music Festival, which will hold its closing concert in Downtown Santa Paula; later in the meeting the council will be asked to agree to co-sponsor the internationally famed concert.

Regular business will include the council setting a summer schedule of meetings to decide when the elected panel can take some time off from the twice-monthly meetings. During the hiatus the council will meet if the situation warrants it.

The council will also consider the city turning over the California Oil Museum — formally known as the Santa Paula California Oil Museum — to a foundation crafted for the unique cultural and educational operation, the birthplace of the then Union Oil Company in the 1890s.

The council will also continue discussions raised during an earlier special meeting — starting at 5 p.m. — on the upcoming FY 2016-2017 Budget. The public is being asked to weigh in on spending reflected in council goals and priorities covering everything from staffing and projects to recreational activities
