- City News Service Board may lower sewage-spill fine THOUSAND OAKS Thousand Oaks, residential city (1990 pop. 104,352), Ventura co., S Calif., in a farm area; inc. 1964. Avocados, citrus, vegetables, strawberries, and nursery products are grown. - The Los Angeles Los Angeles (lôs ăn`jələs, lŏs, ăn`jəlēz'), city (1990 pop. 3,485,398), seat of Los Angeles co., S Calif.; inc. 1850. Regional Water Quality Control Board will meet in August to look at lowering a $2.3 million record fine against Thousand Oaks following an 86-million-gallon sewage spill in 1998. ``The board is going to reconsider the penalty to be assessed,'' board attorney Robert Sams said. The city's attorney could not make the Aug. 14 meeting so a new date has to be scheduled, she said. A Los Angeles Superior Court judge in December found the city liable for the spill but threw out the fine as excessive and ordered the fine to be reassessed. Councilman Dennis Gillette, who was assigned to mediate with the agency, said he was pleased. The city has so far spent a little more than $1 million appealing the fine. ``This is a needed step in the right direction,'' Gillette said in a released statement. ``I hope we can resolve this matter at the next board meeting.'' - Daily News |
