Santa Clara River Levee 3 Flood Protection
Summary
After 18 years, the levee protecting roughly 6,000 North Oxnard homes is about 90% complete, and the council's $2.35 million covers the last of the reimbursement — no additional city money needed. Once certified by FEMA, many homeowners could see mandatory flood insurance requirements drop.

Impact analysis
No new city money — the $2.35 million comes from a state grant and a developer's fair-share contribution, and could eventually lower flood-insurance costs for North Oxnard homeowners.
About 6,000 households in South Bank, Sierra Linda, River Ridge, Windsor North and Victoria Estates get certified 1% flood protection.
