Committee agrees to continue hearing on construction/demolition debris transporter rules
Summary
An ordinance to require temporary or annual permits for transporters of construction and demolition debris and to authorize administrative penalties was called and, after limited public comment urging alignment with planning‑code demolition definitions, the committee voted to continue the item to the call of the chair.
The committee heard a clerk’s description of an ordinance amending the Environment and Public Works Code to require temporary or annual permits for transporters of construction and demolition debris, to update registration conditions and to authorize administrative penalties. Because the sponsor (Supervisor Safai) requested a later hearing date, and because the clerk had read it as an action item, Chair Mirna Melgar allowed public comment and then accepted a motion to continue consideration to the call of the Chair.
Public comment: A neighborhood caller (Georgia Shutish) requested that the legislation align the building‑department demolition definition with the planning code’s demolition definition and asked that major lot excavations be considered in the ordinance.
Committee action: Supervisor Peskin moved to continue the item to the call of the Chair; the committee voted 3‑0 to continue.
