Memorandum
Date: October 8, 2024
To: The Honorable Lake County Board of Supervisors
From: Mireya G. Turner, Community Development Director
Subject: Adopt Proclamation Designating the Week of October 6-12, 2024, as Code Enforcement Officer Appreciation Week in Lake County
Executive Summary: Lake County is an amazing place to live, work, and play. Code Enforcement Officers play an important role in keeping it this way. Lake County Code Enforcement Officers are out in the communities, working with property owners and residents to preserve the residential character of our neighborhoods, as well as maintaining health and safety standards for commercial, and industrial areas.
Code Enforcement Officers oversee the daily operations of abandoned vehicle abatement, hazardous vegetation management, illegal dumping, nuisance abatement, and respond to a consistently robust collection of complaints from both the public and other departments. They conduct themselves with professionalism and respect the public’s due process rights. They work collaboratively with other departments to address the more complex cases, as needed.
It is appropriate for the Board of Supervisors to set aside a week to commemorate the significant impact these dedicated public servants make in our County every day. Your consideration of this item is greatly appreciated.
