Board records abatement lien and special assessment for vacant lot on Ponderosa Way
Summary
After a code-enforcement presentation, the board adopted staff recommendations to record enforcement costs and penalties for a vacant lot on Ponderosa Way in Brownsville; transcript contains inconsistent cost figures on the record and staff acknowledged a mix of staff time and penalties in the accounting.
The Board of Supervisors approved findings of fact and orders on June 24 to place enforcement costs and penalties related to a vacant lot on Ponderosa Way (APN 05630017, Brownsville) as a special tax assessment and abatement lien.
Anthony Centillion presented the case and said it began after a Yuba County Sheriff's Department search warrant in September 2023. He said greenhouses on the parcel were addressed and staff time accounted for just under seven hours; on-screen slides and the presenter referenced totals in the tens of thousands. During the presentation Centillion stated accounting figures as "68,468 and 66¢" and later the motion recorded by a supervisor referred to enforcement costs of "$6,768.66" as a special tax placement and a separate abatement lien amount read into the record using the transcript wording.
Board members asked clarifying questions, and staff explained that some penalties had accrued while efforts to permit or resolve unpermitted structures extended nearly a year. No public testimony was offered. A supervisor moved and the board adopted the staff-recommended findings and orders; the roll-call vote recorded four yes votes and one absent.
The transcript contains inconsistent renderings of the figures on the record; staff slides and the motion language differ in exact formatting. The board action ordered assessment and lien recording consistent with staff recommendations presented at the hearing.
