Port Commissioners Sworn In at Museum
Incumbent Oxnard Harbor Commissioner Jess Ramirez and newly elected Commissioner William Hill have begun their four-year terms, joining commission President Ray Fosse, Vice President Michael Plisky and Jess Herrera.
Ramirez and Hill were sworn in Monday at the Ventura County Maritime Museum in Oxnard.
One of the commission’s top priorities is the proposed transfer of 33 acres of federal property to the Oxnard Harbor District’s commercial Port of Hueneme.
Port of Hueneme Executive Director William Buenger said port officials are close to obtaining the Naval Civil Engineering Laboratory property and its 50 buildings for expansion of operations. “It’s very important for us because it increases our population by 46%,” he said.
The Board of Harbor Commissioners is the governing body of the Oxnard Harbor District, the port authority for the 71-acre Port of Hueneme.
