Reintroduce by title only and waive second reading and consider adoption of an ordinance repealing Section 10-12.107 of Chapter 12 of Title 10 of the Yolo County Code, eliminating the sunset date of the nighttime ban on Off Highway Vehicle (OHV) use in Cache Creek. |

Reason for Recommended Action/Background |
At their February 21, 2017 meeting, the Yolo County Board of Supervisors took action to waive the first reading of an ordinance that would eliminate the sunset date of the nighttime ban on OHV use in Cache Creek. The current sunset date is February 25, 2017. A failure to repeal the sunset date will terminate the nighttime ban ordinance.
Staff views the nighttime ban as beneficial for the following reasons:
- Reduction in number of complaints
- Reduction in issues of trespass and vandalism experienced by creek-side landowners
- No citations for violating nighttime ban
- Reduction of noise
- Reduction in strain on public safety resources
For these reasons, staff recommends that the Board approve this ordinance, making the nighttime ban permanent. |
Collaborations (including Board advisory groups and external partner agencies) |
On-going collaboration on OHV issues occurs regularly with County Counsel, the Sheriff's Office, the Office of the District Attorney, the Parks Division, the Department of Community Services, and the landowners, environmental groups and non-profits located along Cache Creek. |
