SUBJECT:
Ordinance authorizing Treble Abatement Costs for Repeat
Public Nuisances
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACK AM JUSTIFICATION
RECON14ENDATION: Introduce the ordinance entitled Treble Abatement Costs
For Repeat Public Nuisances, waive reading, and fix -Nov. 7 , 1989for
adoption.
BACKGROUND: The Board of Supervisors has been concerned about the
County's inability to recover its enforcement costs from those persons
responsible for violating provisions of the County's Ordinance Code.
Due to such concern, the County sought legislation allowing the County
to recover its enforcement costs upon a successful prosecution of a
condition which is also a public nuisance. Such legislation was
introduced as Senate Bill 618 and was subsequently amended to authorize
a county to adopt an ordinance allowing the recovery of treble abatement
costs (as opposed to all enforcement costs) upon a second or subsequent
civil or criminal conviction (within a two-year period) finding the
property owner responsible for a condition constituting a public
nuisance. Senate Bill 618 was adopted as amended (Stats . 1989, ch.
114 ) .
Submitted herewith is a draft ordinance implementing the
legislation allowing recovery of treble abatement costs .
