The Camarillo City Council voted unanimously during a Special Meeting on September 15, 2021, to hire Daniel Reimer to provide legal counsel to the City in regard to the Camarillo Airport, including assistance with issues relating to the 1976 Agreement between the County of Ventura and the City of Camarillo.
On March 25, 2020, the City retained the Rosales Law Group as special counsel on airport issues. Mr. Reimer practices exclusively in the area of airport law and, together with the Rosales Law Group, will guide the City on issues relating to the Camarillo Airport.
The City maintains a long-standing agreement with the County of Ventura for the operation of the Camarillo Airport, stemming back to 1976. Restrictions imposed on the airport operation include, but are not limited to: limiting the size of aircraft; limiting the hours of operation; and ensuring that the airport remains a general aviation airport, not a commercial airport. The Agreement calls for the County and City to achieve maximum mutual cooperation and maintain a balanced perspective in the operation of the Camarillo Airport.
The City continues its conversations with the County of Ventura regarding the operation of the Camarillo Airport, and anticipates the Ventura County Department of Airports to resume forward progress on the Airport Master Plan Update in 2022, with many opportunities for community engagement.
The City continues to move forward on a community survey that will be implemented before the end of the 2021, to measure the community’s perspective on the Camarillo Airport.
