Board of Supervisors Tues Mtg 06-09-26 · CalRecycle Grant Abatements

The County of Lake Board of Supervisors held a meeting on June 9, 2026, focusing primarily on issues related to illegal dumping and property abatement funded by a CalRecycle grant. The board reviewed multiple properties with illegal dumping problems, discussed recording liens against these properties to recover abatement costs, and considered the installation of gates to prevent future dumping. A motion was passed to approve liens on several properties totaling tens of thousands of dollars. Additionally, the board addressed a code enforcement hearing concerning unpermitted structures and electrical violations on a property in Clear Lake Oaks, ultimately upholding the notice of nuisance and ordering abatement costs to be charged as special assessments. The meeting also included discussions on improving the county's public nuisance code to better address illegal dumping, including potential fines and vehicle forfeiture. The board showed support for using grant funds to install gates but noted challenges in obtaining property owner agreements and budget constraints.
