The proposed budget for the next fiscal year represents a hike of $5 million from the current budget, as Oxnard anticipates increased revenue from taxes and fees.
The biggest budget increase is proposed for the Police Department, which could receive more than $28 million. Meanwhile, the fire and library departments could realize increases of about $200,000 each.
