| Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
On November 17, 2015, the Board introduced this ordinance by title only, waived the first reading, and accepted comments from the public. Staff has since made three modifications to this ordinance:
- Per the Board's direction, OHV's will be prohibited in Cache Creek between the hours of 7:00 PM and 6 AM (formerly, the prohibition was proposed from 8:00 PM to 6:00 AM).
- Also consistent with the discussion on November 17, 2015, the ordinance has been revised slightly to clarify that the prohibition applies to landowners using OHVs on portions of their private property lying within Cache Creek between 7:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. This approach is necessary to reduce barriers to effective enforcement of the ordinance and to promote its overall success in reducing the deleterious effects of OHV use in Cache Creek.
- Staff corrected a minor formatting/numbering error in the ordinance.
Rather than request adoption of the ordinance at this time, staff concluded it would be appropriate to reintroduce the ordinance with these changes included. Unless otherwise directed, staff will return with the ordinance for a second reading and adoption in January 2016. |
| Collaborations (including Board advisory groups and external partner agencies) |
| On-going collaboration on OHV issues occurs with County Counsel, the Sheriff's Office, the Office of the District Attorney, the Parks Division, Planning, Public Works, and Environmental Services, District 5 staff, the State Department of Water Resources, landowners, environmental groups, and non-profits and NGO's. |
