They involved complaints for camping and junk in public. The parcels are open and easy to access. Communication with the owner a few years back included statements from the owner that the City was going to buy the property so he wasn’t going to do anything to stop the illegal dumping or camping. The property has been a mess with dumping that includes garbage, debris, abandoned vehicles and boats. We have an active junk case on 091, CE20-00820. We have had 6 camping complaints since 2017, all closed. We have had one camping case on 030-360-092 in 2017, now closed. Paula M.

Please exercise judgment before opening .. attachments, clicking on links, or replying. Hello Board of Supervisors, I am writing to alert you to the ongoing concerns about the current City of Oroville's proposal to annex and develop the County properties at 18th and Feather Ave in Thermalito. I have included the link to listen to the 1/19/2021 Oroville City Council discussing the proposed development. Two council members have recused themselves, and the discussion goes on about the need for housing. Note, not the housing need of Camp Fire and Bear Fire impacted residents. One person speaks of all this land availableto develop, maybe the City needs to focus on land in their limits and filling the empty new homes off Grand Ave. A s a public servant, t he Mayor of Oroville shares many of his own views and calls these two County properties a junkyard, even refers to them as horrendous and goes on to say the residents surrounding these parcels have crimes being committed on their houses.The property owner proposing this development has not been a good neighbor and has open violations on these County parcels. To have the City of Oroville Mayor openly discuss this, makes the County look bad. Since the owner is known, he attended the Oroville City Planning meeting, why is he not required to clean up the illegal dumping? Now the City wants to use $15,000 of SB2 funds to give the property owner to assist with his proposed project.The good people of Thermalito that live in this neighborhood, have submitted over 50 letters in opposition of this development, many are the same letter signed by residents that are not computer literate, that does not make those submitted letters any less important. All this and the parcels are not even in the City of Oroville. https://meetings.municode.com/multimediaPage/index? cc=OROVILLE&mm=e2b49add76294d9d83202f26f4d65b79&me=4194fcd006074485ad48968ad1bd0f01&ts=0&ei=0000 0000000000000000000000000000&fbclid=IwAR0n3pqVMKI_odqpNWB4gAqz9_ErrtbK9PelLNQI7WFBDT9J_OqpWj_EK9g K Brazil
