City Council

NB1. Introduction of an Ordinance to Amend Sections 13.17.050 and 13.18.100 of the Lancaster Municipal Code to Address Findings Identified in CalRecycle's Draft SB 1383 Compliance Evaluation Findings Report Recommendation(s): Introduce Ordinance No. _________, amending Sections 13.17.050 and 13.18.100 of the Lancaster Municipal Code relating to Self-Hauling of Organic Waste, and to Enforcement and Administrative Civil Penalties Under the City's Mandatory Organic Waste Disposal Reduction Program. The Findings Report notes that the City's Mandatory Organic Waste Disposal Reduction Ordinance authorizes the City to impose administrative civil penalties, but that Section 13.18.100 does not specify a penalty amount for a second violation. The proposed amendment adds a second-violation penalty amount of one hundred dollars ($100.00) per violation, consistent with the penalty structure already established for first and third-or- subsequent violations.
