Memorandum
Date: April 23, 2024
To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors
From: Michael S. Green, District 4 Supervisor
Subject: Consideration of draft ordinance repealing urgency Ordinance 3113
Executive Summary:
On Aug. 24, 2021, your board enacted urgency Ordinance 3110, titled as “an urgency ordinance prohibiting water hauling to unpermitted cannabis cultivation sites.” On Oct. 5, 2021, your board adopted urgency Ordinance 3113 to amend Ordinance 3110 and to additionally prohibit water hauling to all types of commercial agricultural operations, including cannabis cultivation sites.
The county’s local drought emergency declaration was terminated by your board April 2, 2024. As confirmed by county counsel, Ordinance 3113 contained a sunset clause that rescinded the ordinance in its entirety upon the termination of the local drought emergency declaration. This recission is not easily documented in MuniCode or Granicus without formal board action. The recommended action would create a formal record that Ordinance 3113 is no longer in effect.
