During the Clearlake City Council meeting on January 19, 2023, Vice Mayor and council members addressed several community concerns, particularly focusing on waste management and upcoming initiatives aimed at reducing illegal dumping.
One of the key topics discussed was the city's ongoing issues with email communications, which have resulted in some outgoing messages bouncing back. The Vice Mayor urged council members to keep an eye on their emails and resend any important messages that may not have gone through.
A significant concern raised was the lack of mandatory garbage service compliance among property owners in Clearlake. The city has been analyzing data that indicates some residents either do not have the required garbage service or hold exemptions as mandated by municipal code. To address this, the waste hauler will be conducting additional outreach, with drivers identifying properties that are not in compliance. This information will be forwarded to the city's code enforcement division for further action.
In an effort to combat illegal dumping and improve community cleanliness, the city is also applying for funding through CalRecycle for property abatement. This initiative aims to enhance the overall appearance and health of the community.
Additionally, the Vice Mayor announced a series of free garbage pickup days as part of the Clean California grant program. These events will take place at Red Bud Park, with the next scheduled for January 28, followed by additional dates in February, March, and April. Residents must preregister online to participate, ensuring that the program effectively serves the community while reducing blight.
These discussions highlight the city's commitment to improving waste management and maintaining a clean environment for all residents. The council's proactive approach aims to foster a healthier and more attractive Clearlake, addressing both immediate concerns and long-term community goals.
