Housing in My Backyard
By Sandy Smith
Last year, I had the opportunity to serve at the Annual
Housing Opportunities Made
Easier (HOME) housing conference. Joining me on a panel
were Dr. Jamshid Damooei of
Cal Lutheran’s Department of
Economics, Finance & Accounting within the School of Management, as well as Jeff Lambert, Community Development
Director for the City of Ventura. We were asked to provide a
“State of the Region” analysis
regarding land use and housing – identifying issues that affect our region’s ability to provide housing for our residents,
and how the development
community has responded to
those challenges.
Dr. Damooei also led the
team that provided the data
and much of the analysis that
makes up the Ventura County
Civic Alliance’s recently released biennial State of the
Region report. Between the
information that Dr. Damooei
presented at the HOME conference, and the data contained in
the Civic Alliance’s State of the
Region Report, the message is
clear for businesses that hope
to operate in Ventura County:
You have your work cut out for
you if you choose to own and
operate a business in Ventura
County.
The list of challenges one
faces to locate, start, or maintain a business in the County
is daunting. From accessing
startup capital, to navigating
the complex and costly regulatory/permitting system, to attracting and acquiring a skilled
workforce – it’s an ever-growing and intimidating index of
obstacles.
The challenges differ from
business to business, but one
hurdle all share is the high cost
of workforce housing. Ventura County is among the top
ten metropolitan areas in the
nation requiring a high wage
level to afford a two-bedroom
housing unit. What does that
mean in real dollars? It takes
a salary of $28.83 an hour –
a yearly salary of more than
$59,000 a year – to rent a twobedroom apartment in Ventura County.
15% of workers in the County
(43,990 people) require two to
three full-time jobs in order to
afford a two-bedroom housing unit. 46% of workers in the
County (135,220 people) have
to work one and a half to two
jobs in order to afford twobedroom housing unit. 77% of
workers in the County (224,470
County residents) cannot afford two-bedroom housing
with ONLY one full-time job.
This data reflects more than
a need for what one normally
considers “affordable housing.” This is housing for our
nurses, our office workers and
administrative support staff,
our construction workers, and
our teachers. It includes those
employed in protection services, and community
and social services.
The reasons why
housing
costs
so
much in Ventura
County are well-documented, including
the price of land, a
lack of supply due to
the recent recession,
and the time it takes
to permit and entitle housing projects.
We also require new
housing projects to be located
within existing urban boundaries due to our self-imposed
land use restrictions.
Unfortunately this infill strategy for development faces two
additional challenges. First, we
have an aging infrastructure
that requires projects to absorb some of the upgrade/replacement costs, and secondly,
any project proposed within an
existing urban setting means
that the proposed location is
near somebody else. In short,
any proposed project must
overcome public and political
barriers as part of the entitlement process. NIMBYism (Not
in My Back Yard) is alive and
flourishing in Ventura County.

Port of Hueneme Economic Impacts Support
Growing Contributions of Ports Nationwide in New Study
By Will Berg
In a study of the economic impacts
of United States seaports on the nation’s economy, including those of
the Port of Hueneme, the evidence
is overwhelming: seaports deliver
prosperity.
An updated report of the benefits that U.S. ports contribute to
the prosperity of the nation was
released on April 21 at the American Association of Port Authorities’
(AAPA) 2015 Spring Conference
meeting in Washington, D.C. There,
Dr. John Martin, president of Lancaster, Pa.-based Martin Associates,
a leading provider of economic and
strategic assessments of the world’s
transportation systems, debuted
his firm’s 2014 National Economic
Impact of the U.S. Coastal Port System. The report showed the contributions of America’s seaports in
2014 equaled $4.6 trillion, or more
than one-quarter of the country’s
economy.
The contributions of America’s seaports to the nation’s economy have
risen dramatically in the seven years
since Martin Associates’ last nationwide ports economic impact study.
While overall economic impacts increased 43 percent since 2007, other
notable gains include:
• Jobs generated by port-related
activity jumped 74 percent to 23.1
million;
• Federal, state and local tax revenues generated by port-sector and
importer/exporter revenues rose 51
percent to $321.1 billion; and,
• Personal wages and local consumption related to the port-sector
increased from $649 billion to $1.1
trillion, with the average annual salary of those directly employed by
port-related businesses at $53,723.
“The growth in jobs and econom-
ic importance of America’s seaports
reflects the fact that the value of international cargo handled at these
ports increased by $400 billion since
2007, reaching about $1.8 trillion
in 2014,” said Dr. Martin. “It’s important to emphasize that the key
growth in our international trade
was in U.S. exports, which saw a 60
percent increase in value over the
past seven years.”
Dr. Martin also emphasized that
the robust growth in the economic
impact value from U.S. ports occurred despite the economic recession that severely hampered marine
cargo activity between 2008 and
2012.
“At the local level, the Port of
Hueneme provides $1.1 billion in
economic impact and over 10,226
direct, indirect and related jobs,
positioning the port as the region’s
largest economic engine,” said Kris-
tin Decas, CEO and Port Director.
“Both the new impressive national
numbers and the Port of Hueneme’s local contributions show that
seaports generate huge economic
impact and jobs, and ports represent the backbone of our economy,
as well as our connection to the
world and our very quality of life.”
Decas reiterated that the Martin Associates’ findings “also show
how vitally important it is that investment in our ports and landside
transportation infrastructure be a
high priority so that the U.S. can remain a global competitor, providing
these positive impacts for generations to come.”

Marketing & Public Information at

Ventura County Energy Producers
Strengthen the Local Economy
By Amy Fonzo
Oil and natural gas production
plays a key role in Ventura County’s economy. Locally, oil and gas
producers are responsible for
more than twelve thousand jobs
with quality wages. In fact, some
of our local companies offer average salaries of nearly $70,000.
Annually, Ventura County producers generate $2.7 billion in
business sales and $534 million in
local and state tax revenue.
California has the nation’s most
stringent safety, labor and environmental standards for oil and
gas production. Dozens of federal, state and county agencies
oversee oil and gas operations in
Ventura County.
Despite major investments in
both renewable energy and local oil and gas production, California has a chronic dependency
on imported energy. California
imports more than 90% of our
state’s natural gas demand and
more than 60% of our oil needs.
Imported energy leaves value
behind in the source country in
the form of jobs, tax revenues
and economic activity.
Increasing local energy production of all types, including oil,
natural gas and renewables, will
provide Ventura County with a
more secure, affordable and reliable energy supply; create additional well-paying local jobs; and
generate vital revenues to fund
our schools, police officers, firefighters and other public services.
VCEDA’s board chairperson,
Sandy Smith, underscored the
importance of this economic engine by saying, “Oil and gas production has occurred responsibly
in Ventura County for nearly 100
years and is a strong economic
driver that brings high-paying
jobs and tax revenues to our
community. By continuing to responsibly develop our domestic
energy supplies under the most
stringent environmental standards, we can meet our energy
needs and support a vibrant
community.”

Ventura County Firms Work to Meet New
California Organic Waste Recycling Legislation
By Stan Whisenhunt and John Cressy
Governor Edmund G. Brown recently issued an executive order
to establish a California greenhouse gas reduction target of 40
percent below 1990 levels by 2030
– the most aggressive benchmark
enacted by any government in
North American to reduce dangerous carbon emissions over the
next decade and a half.
“With this order, California sets
a very high bar for itself and other states and the nation, but it’s
one that must be reached, for
this generation and generations
to come,” Brown said.
This comes on the heels of
Brown’s signing of four bills in
September that will change the
way California views organics by
promoting emerging technologies, increasing recycling and reducing greenhouse gasses.
VCEDA executive board members Nan Drake and Bill Camarillo say their respective firms are
working aggressively to meet
the mandates imposed by Gov.
Brown’s executive order and the
new legislation – Assembly Bill
1826, Assembly Bill 1594, Senate Bill 605 and Senate Bill 498.
Drake is director of governmental affairs and public relations
for Harrison Industries. Camarillo,
former VCEDA chairman, is chief
executive officer of Agromin. The
two firms are strategic partners
in a massive recycling movement.
Harrison Industries is a Venturabased trash and recycling hauler
that serves more than 90,000 residential and commercial customers in Ventura and Santa Barbara
counties. Harrison and Agromin
have worked together to recycle
massive amounts of green waste
and more recently have developed a steadily growing food
waste recycling program.
Agromin manufactures earthfriendly soil products for farmers, landscapers and gardeners.
Agromin is also the composter
for more than 50 California cities.
Each month, Agromin receives
and recycles more than 30,000
tons of organic material.
AB 1826, introduced by Assemblyman Wesley Chesbro (D-North
Coast), is designed to cut greenhouse gas emissions, reduce the
use of chemical pesticides and
fertilizers and create a source of
green energy. AB 1826 accomplishes this by diverting methanegas-producing organic food and
yard waste away from landfills
and into programs that recycle it
into renewable resources such as
biofuels and nutrient-rich compost for agriculture.
AB 1826, which will take effect
on April 1, 2016, mandates that
businesses generating more than
eight cubic yards of commercial
solid waste per week will be required to arrange for organic
waste recycling services. It helps
implement AB 341, landmark recycling legislation adopted in
2011 that established the goal
of diverting at least 75 percent
of California’s solid waste away
from landfills by 2020.
AB 1594, introduced by Assemblyman Das Williams (D-Santa
Barbara), is designed to encourage local governments to divert
green waste from landfills. Compostable organic materials currently comprise about one-third
of what is disposed in landfills
annually and much of it is used
as alternative daily cover (ADC), a
temporary overlay on an exposed
face of a landfill, which provides
a barrier from odor and insects at
the end of the work day.
Existing law authorizes green
waste to be used as an ADC
and exempts green waste from
a statewide disposal fee. This
exemption, with the recycling
credit local governments receive
toward their diversion goals,
ends up encouraging the use of
green materials for ADC instead
of other more environmentally
friendly uses. Williams said green
waste should be used as compost
instead.
SB 605, introduced by Ricardo
Lara (D-Long Beach), is a greenhouse gas reduction bill that places portions of the AB 32 Scoping
Plan into statute for the Air Board
to develop a comprehensive strategy to reduce emissions of shortlived climate pollutants, such as
methane, by January 2016.
VCEDA Executive Committee members Nan Drake, director of
governmental affairs and public relations for Harrison Industries,
and Bill Camarillo, chief executive officer of Agromin
SB 498 (Lara) is a renewable
energy bill that revises the definition of the term “biomass conversion” to mean the production
of heat, fuels or electricity by the
controlled combustion of, or the
use of other non-combustion
thermal technologies on, specified biomass materials.
“All of the newly signed bills are
an attempt to divert millions of
tons of organic waste from landfills, because they produce methane gas that cannot be 100 percent captured,” Camarillo said.
“The waste industry and specifically landfills are contributing to
climate change pollutants. If we
are not successful with diverting
50 percent of commercial organics from landfills by 2020, then
they will most likely be banned
from landfills in the future.”
“We’re working diligently to
meet the strict mandates set by
this new legislation,” said Ralph
Harrison, president of Harrison
Industries. “In fact, we have anticipated these future regulations
and have already taken steps to
meet their requirements.”
Harrison pointed to the pilot
commercial food waste program
the company has undertaken
with Agromin. Established in
2012, the program has grown to
include over 70 businesses, mostly restaurants and supermarkets
but also hospitals and schools.
In over two years, more than
2,000 tons of fruit and vegetable skins, unused dairy products,
bones, and other biodegradable
food scraps have been diverted
from landfills and transported
by Harrison trucks to Agromin,
which employs a Covered Aerated Static Pile System to mix
them with yard waste to create
enriched compost.
Harrison’s goal is to expand the
food waste program to include
more businesses and, eventually,
to its residential customers.
As a result of the food waste
program and other innovative
residential and recycling programs Harrison Industries instituted with its client cities and
the County of Ventura, all are on
track to meet AB 341’s 75 percent
recycling goal.
Harrison has also taken important steps to help its client cities
and the County of Ventura meet
the tight air-quality regulations
of AB 32, the 2006 state law that
established a comprehensive
program to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions from all sources
throughout the state to 1990 levels by the year 2020. In 2010, Harrison earned Climate Registered
status for taking voluntary steps
to measure its carbon footprint,
ensuring that it is moving toward
compliance of AB 32.

Growing our Local Talent for the 21st Century
By Dr. Gabe Soumakian, Jim Rose &
Mary Anne Rooney
Over the past 20 years, ample educational research has supported the effectiveness of small learning communities
for student engagement and learning.
In one of the more structured forms –
the “career-themed academy” model
promoted by the National Academy
Foundation and others – student engagement is cultivated through a “content in context” approach to cross-curricular project-based activities, as well
as work-based learning experiences
connected with the academy’s theme.
Oxnard Union High School District
(OUHSD) has adopted this model by
developing the Alliance for Linked
Learning in order to grow local talent
for the future workforce.
The Alliance for Linked Learning implements four elements in this model:
1) a rigorous core curriculum for university-bound students; 2) an integrated
sequence of technical courses related
to an industry; 3) a series of work-based
learning opportunities; and 4) support
services to assist all students in achieving success in the program.
The greatest challenge to classroom
educators is the integration of workbased experiences. Educators often
come to the classroom without much
exposure to work outside of education and may be at a loss as to what
the business world is like or how to approach it.
The Oxnard Union High School District (OUHSD) has developed a unique
approach to solving this problem and
will be testing its solution throughout
the implementation of its California
Career Pathways Trust (CCPT) grant.
OUHSD, which has been growing its
career academy program since 2007,
was one of only six districts to receive
a $6 million award to expand and perfect its programs. OUHSD will make the
jump from 12 to 22 open academies by
the start of the 2015-16 academic year.
During groundwork meetings with
businesses, the theme emerged that
businesses do not have the time or resources to follow up on requests for
engagement from the dozens of academies and pathways already present in
the county. The idea for using a “single-point of contact” business intermediary to solve this problem emerged
from this dialogue.
The District chose to partner with the
Ventura County Civic Alliance (VCCA)
as a business intermediary to connect
the District with business and community support. The VCCA, an initiative
of the Ventura County Community
Foundation, brings skills and connections built through 15 years of experience with workforce and other issues
that the District could not build from
scratch. We strongly believe this model
provides the best solution for addressing this concern.
The OUHSD and VCCA maintain close
communication throughout this implementation to leverage resources and
provide an effective and efficient collaboration.
This diagram illustrates the relationship of the agencies in the Alliance. The blue side of the diagram
outlines the areas of concentration for the OUHSD, while the green indicates areas for the VCCA.
This allows each partner to focus on its strengths while supporting the overall vision of the District.
The District addresses the academic
needs of its students, including articulation with its feeder middle schools and
four-year schools, development of both
academic and technical curricula, and
provision of support for student success.
Meanwhile, the VCCA acts as a “clearinghouse” for students’ work-based
activities focused on career awareness,
exploration, and preparation.
Our County faces a shortage of
skilled workers to replace retiring em-
ployees. The Alliance for Linked Learning is looking for businesses to align
with education in the Oxnard Union
High School District in order to provide
a skilled workforce to make Ventura
County more competitive.
If you would like to participate in this
innovative educational reform, please
contact Mary Anne Rooney, Project Director for the Ventura County Civic Alliance, at MARooney@CivicAlliance.org.
