In an untimed item, the board will will discuss and consider the draft ordinance, which was first brought forward late last year, as Lake County News has reported.
“After comments from the public and concerns raised by your Board when an initial draft was considered in December of 2018, this draft has been revised to somewhat streamline the program and process for hazardous vegetation abatement, to require specific training certifications of a County Fire Official, to allow greater discretion on the part of a County Fire Official to consider the specific circumstances of each property in regard to defensible space requirements, and to establish increase flexibility as to enforcement options,” County Counsel Anita Grant write in a memo to the board.
“This working draft may yet require revisions and modifications and stall will make any such revisions and modifications as directed by your Board,” Grant wrote.
In other untimed items, the sheriff will take to the board a proposal to restructure the sheriff's department, an item held over from a few weeks ago; consider a resolution adopting the Lake County Economic Development Strategy; and get a presentation from the Lake Economic Development Corp. seeking support for its budget, plan and planned work.
