After questions from supervisors, Lake County authorizes CalRecycle illegal‑disposal grant application

Sep 15, 2026

County staff said a draft narrative would be provided but the board authorized submittal of a CalRecycle illegal‑disposal/site‑abatement grant application; Supervisor Sabatier said she would not approve submittal without seeing the application and sought clearer public documentation.

The full story

Deputy director Shannon Walker Smith told the board the item before them was a required resolution to submit an application to CalRecycle for the illegal‑disposal and site abatement grant and described prior rounds that funded large abatement efforts and free dump days. "We have identified 8 8 abatement sites, kind of large scale abatement sites that we wouldn't be able to have the resources to work on those cases," she told supervisors, and said staff could provide a draft narrative and some required documents quickly if the board wanted to review them before final submittal.
