Action Item
approved — Pass
Staff memo
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: As your Board is aware, in the afternoon of July 29, 2015 the Rocky Fire began in the area of Morgan Valley Road and continued for several weeks. This prompted the activation of the Lake OES Emergency Operations Center (EOC) and Matt Perry, County Administrative Officer/OED Director (retired) declared a Local Emergency on July 31, 2015. On August 4, 2015, your Board ratified the declaration by Resolution no. 2015-107, confirming the existence of such emergency. The dangers of this year's fire season continued on Sunday, August 9, 2015, when the Jerusalem Fire broke out, and your Board amended the declaration of a local emergency on August 18, 2015, to include the Jerusalem Fire, by Resolution no. 2015-109. On the afternoon of September 12, 2015, the Valley Fire began. This again prompted the activation of the EOC and Matt Perry County Administrative Office/OES Director (retired) declared a Local Emergency that evening. This was ratified by your Board on September 15, 2015 by Resolution no. 2015-128.
As the County seeks funding and performs recovery operations related to tree removal and other fire recovery projects for the Rocky, Jerusalem, and Valley Fires, it is advisable that we continue the declaration of an emergency to support the fire recovery process.
This declaration needs to be re-considered and confirmed by your Board once every 30 days to stay in effect.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
I. PROPERTY OUTLINE:
Property Owner: Anthony Tucciarelli
Location: 5845 State Hwy 20, Lucerne CA
APN: 034-421-28
Zoning: "CR", Resort Commercial District
Case #: 16-0045
II. ABATEMENT SUMMARY
On March 24, 2016, a Notice of Nuisance and Order to Abate was prepared and posted at 5845 State Hwy 20, Lucerne CA, within the Clearlake Beach Annex 3 Subdivision, and mailed, certified to the property owner of record due to household garbage, junk, trash & debris. Several complaints had been filed by area residents. The Abatement Notice provided Mr. Tucciarelli with 30 days to abate the property. However, upon the initial site visit, household garbage was observed to be dumped on the property causing an immediate public health hazard. A Summary Abatement Notice was then prepared, posted on the property, and mailed providing the property owner with 48 hours to remove "just" the household garbage. A site visit was conducted on or about March 28, 2016 and it was verified that the property owner had not abated the garbage On that same date, staff from Code Enforcement solicited and obtained bids from a local contractor for summary abatement of just the household garbage on the property. On or about March 31, 2016, a local contractor was awarded the contract and the household garbage was removed and disposed of.
On June 20, 2016 a follow up site visit was conducted and it was observed that the junk, trash and debris still remained on the property. A courtesy letter was then prepared and sent to the property owner requesting them to abate the remaining violations on the property. On December 21, 2016 a site visit was conducted and it was observed that the property had not been abated. Staff from Code Enforcement solicited and obtained bids from a local contractor for abatement of the remaining junk, trash and debris on the property. On January 4, 2017 a site visit was conducted, confirming the property was cleaned up by the contractor.
..Recommended Action
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommends the Board of Supervisors confirm the assessment of $1,631.27 and direct staff to Record a Notice of Lien against the property. The cost of abatement services was $1,150.00. The administrative costs on this case amounted to $481.27.
Sample Motion:
I move that the assessment of $1,631.27 for nuisance abatement on property located at 5845 State Hwy 20 Lucerne CA, also known as Assessors Parcel Number 034-421-28, and owned by Anthony Tucciarelli be confirmed and the Enforcement Official be directed to prepare and have recorded in the office of the Lake County Recorder, a Notice of Lien in the amount of $1,631.27 pursuant to Lake County Ordinance Code Chapter 13, Section 13-43

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: On March 22, 2016, the Board of Supervisors approved a temporary fee waiver of Construction Traffic Impact Fees for homes damaged or destroyed by 2015 wildland fires through September 12, 2016. To date, Public Works is still waiving these fees.
During recent weeks, the rain storms and added traffic from the rebuilding effort have created an abundance of potholes within the 2015 fire areas. Limited resources are available to purchase the additional patching material needed to repair these holes. Funds collected from the Construction Traffic Impact Fee will help mitigate the additional costs the department is trying to deal with in keeping these effected roadways safe to travel on.
The Department asks that the Board of Supervisors to rescind the waiver for homes damaged or destroyed by the 2015 Wildland Fires, Reinstitute the Construction Traffic Impact fees within these areas and authorize Public Works to resume collecting these necessary fees.
