WHAT ABOUT THOSE COMMUNITY COUNCILS?
Lately, I've been going to community council meetings in Ventura and Oxnard. The benefit I received by going was acquiring first hand knowledge of local and state jurisdiction on safety, roads, or development. The widening of the port at Port Hueneme could cause increase of truck traffic through the Simi freeway in Somis and the 101. The County of Ventura pitched for an additional transportation tax in Ventura County and told how it affects local residents. It was interesting to see how several people are joined as a community at Bell Arts Factory shaping the future of areas around Ventura Avenue. All of the citizens that are present are caring individuals that volunteer their time to make improvements in their section of the world.
Have you ever thought you had a point to make, but, weren't too enthusiastic about going to City Council to express yourself? Do you want first hand information from city, state and county officials about events that are going to affect your neighborhood and be heard when you input your concerns? I'm encouraging you to consider getting together with your neighbors to create Neighborhood Councils. Contact me if you need more information as I could direct you to the right group for information on how to organize and stay valid.
