The city of Lakeport Office of Emergency Services has issued Executive Order 2020-01, which authorizes the use of administrative citations for violations of orders issued by the Lake County Public Health officer or governor of the state of California.
This includes the current shelter in place directive, the city said.
City officials said violations of the shelter in place order constitutes a violation of the Lakeport Municipal Code and a public nuisance subject to the enforcement as provided in Lakeport Municipal Code Chapters 1.08, 8.22, and 8.30.
“Our goal remains achieving voluntary compliance with all directives as a means of reducing the spread of the COVID-19 virus without our community,” the city said in a Monday statement. “We do not desire to issue citations, however, should the need arise this order gives the Lakeport Police Department more flexibility with enforcement of the local and state orders.
