SIERRA COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS in part..........

7/7/2021

0 Comments

 
​AN ORDINANCE amending 8.050.040 of the Sierra County Code to allow for delinquent county water service charges to be placed on the annual county tax roll for collection was discussed during the Board of Supervisors’ meeting held in Downieville Tuesday, July 6th. County Counsel David Prentice stated this was the first step in a longer more complicated ordinance. He said this would allow the auditor to collect through the property owner’s tax bill, adding they can’t clear their tax bill until they pay everything. Supervisor Sharon Dryden was happy to sit in on one of these meetings and stated other special districts use this avenue. She wanted to make sure people to get notice so they could get current before it goes on their tax bill. Planning Director Tim Beals said letters would be sent out to each property owner that is two or more months behind on their water bill. He stated if they don’t pay by August 20th they would be charged penalties and interest. Dryden added they’ve been getting bills every month. The motion was made to introduce and waive the first reading and passed unanimously. Board Chair Lee Adams said he appreciated them using this process and it protects everybody else who is paying their bills. 


FOREST SERVICE UPDATE was given during the Sierra County Board of Supervisors’ meeting held in Downieville open to the public on Tuesday, July 6th. Sierraville District Ranger Quentin Youngblood said they had had some interesting weather with lightning and luckily some precipitation with it. He was thankful they only had one small lightning fire. 
Youngblood stated they didn’t see the level of dispersed camping as they did last year during the 4th of July weekend. 
Yuba District Ranger Lon Henderson reported they are currently in fire restrictions on the Tahoe. Only developed campgrounds can have an open flame in the fire pit. He was relieved the Yuba Ranger District was much quieter this year over the 4th of July weekend. Supervisor Sharon Dryden stated she didn’t hear or see one firework and was glad people are taking restrictions seriously. Henderson said they only had one firework incident on the entire Tahoe Forest and took care of it.
