Bert Perello | Candidate for Oxnard City Council
Neighborhood/voting district: District 1 / Oxnard City Council


- I successfully led the Council efforts to CLAW BACK $68,000 in illegal Supplemental Retirement Benefit Perks exclusively and selectively gifted to Senior Executives.
- I helped save millions of Oxnard City Taxpayers’ dollars in 2014 by casting a decisive third– vote OPPOSING an ill–advised proposed outrageously expensive City settlement of a scurrilous BOGUS lawsuit filed by former City Manager Ed Sotelo.
- I SPEARHEADED the Council’s adoption of a first–ever “Whistleblower Policy” in the City’s history in 2017.
- And currently I am SHEPHERDING the Council’s efforts to develop the first–ever job description for our new City Manager, and after that the City Attorney, along with clear, cogent, and crisp measures to evaluate their performance in these two critical City Senior Executive positions.
.
- Public safety, health, and welfare of ALL Oxnard residents in ALL Oxnard neighborhoods
- Accuracy, Accountability, Credibility, Solvency, and Transparency in the City’s Finances
- Preserve, Protect, and Enhance the Peaceful Enjoyment of the Channel Islands Harbor Public Waterways
