LAKEPORT, Calif. – Two possible additions to Lake County Code that will offer new tools to address illegal dumping and weed abatement will go before the Board of Supervisors this week.
The board will meet beginning at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 6, in the board chambers on the first floor of the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport.
The meeting can be watched live on Channel 8 and online at https://countyoflake.legistar.com/Calendar.aspx. Accompanying board documents, the agenda and archived board meeting videos also are available at that link.
In an untimed item, the board will discuss and consider a draft ordinance adding Division 3 to Chapter 9 establishing fines and penalties for the illegal disposal of garbage/refuse and creating an illegal dumping prevention program.
The illegal dumping program would seek to use lighting, surveillance cameras, educational materials, signage, continued abatement efforts “and the encouragement of community collaboration to prevent and respond to the threat to public health, safety and welfare resulting from said illegal dumping,” the proposed ordinance states.
All funds that would be used to support the program would come from collection of fines and penalties associated with the ordinance’s enforcement.
The ordinance also states that it’s the board’s intent to begin the initiation of mandatory garbage collection throughout the unincorporated areas of Lake County by presenting it to voters after Lake County Public Services devises a plan that’s approved by the board.
Also on Tuesday, in another untimed item, the board will discuss and consider a draft ordinance adding Article VIII to Chapter 13 of the Lake County Code regarding hazardous vegetation abatement.
That proposed ordinance sets out a procedure for getting compliance and dealing with unimproved parcels.
The full agenda follows.
