The following was sent to the City of Novato August 22, 2020 ([email protected])
Why is the city not doing anything about this? (photo’s attached).
Residents of the area come here to enjoy the wildlife refuge/open space and are faced with trash piles, un-sanitary camping conditions, RV’s and trashed out vehicles all the way down Binford road to the Airport. Many of these vehicles have been there for more than 2 years without moving, (two that I have first hand knowledge of are clearly identified in the photo’s) and some are now mowing the lawn and putting in garden plots. Will they be paying property taxes?
This is clearly not covered under the The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals’ ruling in the Martin v. City of Boise case so I am wondering why this isn’t being addressed by the city
Regards,




The city responded with the following and did nothing further.

Mr. ___,
Thank you for the email. I certainly agree with your sentiment and opinion. Employees of the City of Novato are working closely to support Marin County with the RV’s parked in their jurisdiction.
