Title
Adoption of Ordinance Nos. 4706 and 4707 amending El Dorado County Code Enforcement Ordinance 09.02 and Vehicle Abatement Ordinance 10.16 transferring all components of vehicle abatement enforcement to the Sheriff's Vehicle Abatement Unit. (Introduced 10/17/06, Item 66)
Body
Reason for Recommendation:
The Code Enforcement Unit inherited these duties from Planning Services during the program's infancy when the Zoning Administrator was used for a Hearing Officer. With an independent hearing officer now in place the public is better served by having all the components of vehicle abatement enforcement located in one office. Currently, the Sheriff's Department handles inspections and issuance of abatement notice, and Development Services Code Enforcement handles the administrative duties related to conducting abatement appeal hearings. The Sheriff's Department has agreed to assume both functions.Therefore, the hearings, as well as all other aspects of the vehicle abatement program will now be carried out by the Sheriff's Vehicle Abatement Unit.
Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost: None
Action to be taken following Board approval: County Counsel will codify amendments.
