Ventura adds $27K to broadcasting contract for Wright Event Center costs
Council closed out additional costs from the temporary relocation, bringing the total Community Access Partners agreement to $3,391,832.
The Ventura City Council on April 14 added $26,957 to its agreement with Community Access Partners of San Buenaventura, Inc., raising the total cap to $3,391,832 for additional costs associated with the temporary relocation of council meetings to the Wright Event Center.
This first amendment to Agreement 2025-52 was approved on consent.
According to the April 14 agenda packet, City Clerk Michael MacDonald brought the recommendation. The amendment closes out additional costs that accumulated while the council met at the Wright Event Center, 57 Day Road, rather than at the City Council Chambers in City Hall.
Council voted at its prior March 24 meeting to formally end the temporary relocation and resume meetings at City Hall. The April 14 meeting was held at City Hall, 501 Poli Street.
For its part, the April 14 agenda packet did not break down the $26,957 by category, identify what specific services Community Access Partners provided during the relocation, or explain when the temporary arrangement began.
No further council action on Agreement 2025-52 is currently scheduled.
