Description
Outlooks. This is not the place. SF Bay Trail and EPA really need to get on whoever is responsible for these outlooks. This is completely out of hand. White Slough is turning into white sludge. The 9th circuit ruling actually does not allow a free for all. The city needs to hurry up and agendize solutions to stop people from settling in these waterfront and water way locations that spill into the rest of the bay as well.
Get other lots for people needing a place to put their tent or RV while permanent housing is getting figured out. This is getting so out of hand! The cost of what this currently doing to the city is much greater than what the city and county will spend to have dedicated lots.

The City of Vallejo Code Enforcement Division by city charter only has jurisdiction for Vallejo Municipal Code violations on private property. The Code Enforcement Division actively works with property owners to abate encampment issues through education and alternatively enforcement for encampments (Vallejo Municipal Code Section 7.54.030 T. Unauthorized camping on private property in a place which can be viewed from the public right-of-way or in a manner that constitutes a public nuisance and Section 7.54.030 S. Prohibits maintenance of property in such a manner as to constitute a public nuisance). Through SeeClickFix, email, public counter at city hall and telephone we receive multiple complaints regarding encampments but can only address one after address verification to identify the location as public or private property. Referrals to other government entities occur only after the correct agency that has responsibility is determined utilizing Vallejo GIS Viewer. Cases are then referred to agencies such as Greater Vallejo Recreation District (city parks), Vallejo Flood and Waste (White Slough) Vallejo Police Department (for public street encampments / living in vehicles on public street / City of Vallejo properties i.e., City Hall), Caltrans (State of California properties including portions of White Slough, B.W Williams and Mini Drive, Enterprise Drive), Solano County (Solano County Courthouse and Fairgrounds) and Federal properties.
Code Enforcement has several cases for private properties at White Slough for abatement.
