June 29,2000 Dear North Richmond Resident, We are writing to you today as fellow North Richmond residents. In March,a number of North Richmond residents created a North Richmond Community Action Plan (NRCAP). The mission of this plan is to be a blueprint to improve the quality of life and revitalize the community. The plan was created solely by community input. A total of eight focus groups were held where North Richmond residents told us what they liked about our community,what they did not like,and what they would like to see North Richmond-become in the next five years. One thing that residents frequently mentioned that they did not like was the physical environment in North Richmond. This included the trash on the streets and vacant lots,abandoned cars,boarded up buildings etc. We are working with the City of Richmond and Supervisor John Gioia's Office to address some of these issues. However,as North Richmond residents,we believe that each North Richmond resident has a responsibility to help keep North Richmond clean and beautiful. As a goad neighbor we would like you to help us by: 1) Keeping/Removing/Sweeping trash off vacant lots,streets Sidewalks, and curbs and gutters 2) Keeping abandoned vehicles covered or out of public view 3) Informing the police department when you find someone dumping trash in an inappropriate place 4) Ensuring that if you pay someone to dump your trash that they take it to the landfill and not dump it on a vacant lot. 5) Keeping lawns cut North Richmond is a great place to live. We love it here and we know it can be a beautiful and safe community. As fellow North Richmond residents,we ask that you help us achieve this goal. If you would like to help us make North Richmond beautiful,call Rayne Martin with Supervisor John Gioia's Office at 374-3232 to find out how you can be involved.

Notice of Intent to Abate Abandoned Vehicles per County Ordinance 95-2 were mailed to all interested parties on July 11, 2000. On July 13, 2000, tenant Clifford Pace requested an Appeal Hearing before the Zoning Administrator based on his intentions to repair the vehicles. Mr. Pace state, `The repairs will require no less than six months and "I have invested a lot of money over time in both vehicles, being on a fixed income I can only buy parts a Tittle at a time." On August 23, Officer Smith reinspected the site and found that the vehicles appeared in the same state of disrepair. Authority: Section 22660 of the California Vehicle allows the County to adopt an ordinance establishing procedures for the abatement and removal, as possible nuisances, of abandoned,wrecked,dismantled,and/or inoperative vehicles or parts thereof from private property. Contra Costa County adopted County Ordinance 86-58, establish local abatement procedures for the removal of abandoned, wrecked, dismantled, and/or inoperative vehicles or parts thereof from private property. The ordinance was amended under County Ordinance 95-2 to make the Office of the Sheriff the agency responsible for the enforcement of the provisions of the Abandoned Vehicle Abatement Program. Recommendation: If the vehicles cannot be repaired in a timely manner, allow the Sheriffs Office to proceed with this abatement action.
