HARE City Treasurer TO: The Honorable City Council FROM: Susan Cauldwell, Assistant to the City Manager DATE: February 28, 1991 SUBJECT: Consider Support to Keep Oxnard Office of Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) Open The Oxnard Immigration and Naturalization Service Office (INS) is expected to close on April 19, 1991. This means that persons in need of these services would be forced to travel to San Jose or Los Angeles, as no other local office exists. This travel would undoubtedly pose a hardship for persons needing the services of the INS, as many of those seeking service have low- paying jobs without benefits such as paid vacation time. The INS office is located in Congressman Lagomarsino's District. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Authorize the Mayor to sign the attached letters to Congressmen Elton Gallegly and Robert Lagomarsino urging them to oppose any attempt to close the Oxnard Immigration and Naturalization Service Office. 799 Moorpark Avenue Moorpark, California 93021 (805) 529 -6864 PAUL W.

Director of Community Development JOHN F. KNIPE City Engineer JOHN V. GILLESPIE Chief of Police RICHARD T. HARE - City Treasurer The Moorpark City Council is concerned about the proposed closure of the Oxnard Immigration and Naturalization Service Office and is seeking your assistance in preventing its closure. Without the Oxnard office, persons needing the services of Immigration would be forced to travel to Los Angeles or San Jose, as no other office exists in the central coast between these two cities. This would undoubtedly pose a hardship for persons needing immigration services, as many are employed in low- paying positions without benefits such as paid vacation time. The City stands ready to assist you in your effort to keep this important public service in Oxnard. Please let me know how we can help. I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Paul W.
