Oxnard ranked No. 8 on California's list of most financially at-risk cities among the state's 482 municipalities. The California State Auditor's Office released the list in October, which ranked the cities' ability to pay bills based on 10 indicators from the 2020-2021 fiscal year. Oxnard officials blamed a technicality for the high ranking during the Feb. 21 meeting where the list was presented to the City Council, but remained optimistic about the city's financial future. 'I think we're in really, really good shape,' Mayor John Zaragoza said earlier this month.
