Adopt Wildfire Taskforce recommendations to speed up weed abatement enforcement
In Plain English
A Wildfire Preparedness committee reviewed how the city enforces rules requiring property owners to clear brush and vegetation near buildings. This directs staff to explore faster appeals for violations in high fire-risk areas, set up a contractor to clear overgrown lots when owners don't comply, and pilot a program helping homeowners pay for clearing brush within 30 feet of their homes. Staff must return within 60-90 days with costs, funding options, and a detailed plan.
