7.3 16-0652
Ordinance amending Chapter 94 of the Lake County Code of Ordinances - Public Nuisances
· There are several pests that present a public health nuisance where an infestation occurs, but which are not definitively known to transmit communicable disease.
o A prime example is bedbugs, which are most certainly a public nuisance, but which have not been proven to transmit disease (though it is suspected). Other examples are fruit flies and sewer files.
o The proposed change to § 94.08 would provide the Lake County Health Department the authority to pursue correction of infestations of these pests through the administrative adjudication process if voluntary compliance is not achieved.
· There are often conditions of which the Lake County Health Department is made aware that are unhealthy and/or unsafe at facilities where the Department does not have direct regulatory authority.
o Examples are unpermitted facilities such as health clubs or other public buildings, but also in rental properties that do not rise to the level of rendering the space uninhabitable [§ 94.06 (B)].
o The addition of § 94.14 would provide the Lake County Health Department the authority to pursue correction of these unhealthy and/or unsafe conditions through the administrative adjudication process if voluntary compliance is not achieved.
