LUCERNE, Calif. – A joint meeting of all three town hall advisory councils within District 3 is scheduled for Friday, March 16.

The meeting will take place beginnings at 6 p.m. at the Lucerne Alpine Senior Center, 3985 Country Club Drive.

The purpose of the joint town hall is to take public input and explore possible solutions to the problems of trash in District 3 neighborhoods and the backcountry.

One method could be universal garbage collection services such as used in the cities of Clearlake and Lakeport.

County staff will be on hand and there will be time for questions and answers with staff and Supervisor Jim Steele, who represents the Northshore.

“Complaints about trash problems in neighborhoods and in the backcountry are among the most persistent complaints I receive; only 40 percent of District 3 residents have their garbage picked up,” said Steele.

“This is an important meeting to obtain community feedback on whether we should require that all households maintain garbage collection services or explore other solutions,” he added.

This meeting is in lieu of the regular March meetings for the councils.

The three town hall advisory councils in District 3 will resume their regular meeting schedules in April.
