Save San Bernardino County’s ORV Ordinance
February 9th, 2010 Posted by Chris Clarke in Desert Politics, off-road vehicles | No Comments »[Passed along by Phil Klasky:]
Supervisors Mitzelfelt and Derry are planning to eliminate the staging portion of the off-road vehicle ordinance 3973 at a meeting of the San Bernardino Board of Supervisors in March. This would allow as many as 199 ORVs to gather on 2.5 acres for up to 6 days in a row without oversight resulting in excessive noise, dust, nuisance and trespass — no permits, no control!
Residents throughout the desert are planning a massive CALL IN DAY on Wednesday, February 10 to flood the supervisors’ phone lines with the message:
- Keep the ORV ordinance strong and effective.
- Do not eliminate the staging portion of the ordinance.
- Do not allow large, uncontrolled and unpermitted stagings of ORVs in our communities.
- Stop ORV trespass on our private and public lands.
- Stop harassment and intimidation by ORV riders.
- Protect our rural communities and the desert environment.
- Don’t place special interests above the needs of our communities.
- Defend our desert communities from ORV abuse!
Call Supervisor Brad Mitzelfelt at: (909) 387-4830
Call Supervisor Neil Derry at: (909) 387-4855
Be firm but respectful. Hundreds of phone calls will help convince the supervisors that we are prepared to defend our communities from ORV abuse!
