FROM: supervisor Nancy Fanden Contra
Costa
February 9, 1988 for consideration County
DATE: February 23, 1988
SUBJECT: COORDINATION OF LITTER CONTROL
BETWEEN CITY OF MARTINEZ & COUNTY
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION:
That the Sheriff ' s Department and the Martinez Police
Department set up a meeting to discuss how they can
coordinate patrols between our two jurisdictions, primarily
along roads that have become "dumping" grounds for all kinds
of litter.
That increased surveillance be discussed, along with ways to
discover the identities of these people.
That those identified (perhaps through correspondence or
mail found at the dumping area) be notified that it is
illegal to dump in the county and that they could be subject
to a fine - or worse yet - a day in court.
BACKGROUND:
Once again we are seeing irresponsible individuals dumping
litter, abandoned vehicles and trash along the Carquinez
Scenic Dr. This is a situation that cannot be tolerated by
law abiding citizens, public officials or law enforcement
personnel.
We need a joint effort if we' re going to put any type of
pressure on these people. Our law enforcement officials, as
a matter of policy, must draw the line on this type of
illegal activity and request that the courts take a firm
stand to punish this activity to the full extent of the law.
I have spoken to a member of the Martinez City Council, who
will request at the next regularily scheduled Council
meeting, (February 17, 1988) that the city participate in
this cooperative effort to better patrol our scenic roads.
