abstaining.
4. INFORMATIONAL ITEMS
a. Jeff Letourneau from Code Enforcement spoke to the group about Code compliance. He
stated that the purpose of his division is to seek correction of violations. He said they are not
looking to give someone a fine. If there is a violation, the citizen is given many opportunities
to correct the issue. Each case is handled on a case-by-case basis. If a violator is not making
efforts to comply, they are referred to the special magistrate which could end up causing fines
to be levied. Fines can only be voided/ forgiven by the BCC or the special magistrate. Code
staff are bound by health and safety issues such as burnt cars, toilets and appliances in lawns
and septic issues. He told the Committee that some time ago the BCC voted change
procedure to eliminate anonymous complaints. Code now must get a complaint from a third
party to proceed with an investigation. Denise Murphy asked if Code staff could specifically
target a neighborhood. He said that there are over 16 neighborhood clean-ups per year
throughout the county. After discussion, it was determined that the AHAC would send a list
of problem areas to Code, along with CHS department brochures showing assistance
opportunities for property owners.
Michael Puchalla suggested that the fines be enforced and the proceeds go to the Community
Land Trust in order to make more affordable housing in the county.
John Harney said that Habitat could help by educating their new home owners and working
with HOAs to give rules to their property management groups.
After discussion, Sheryl Soukup made a motion to ask the BCC to look more closely at code
violations before waving fines. Motion as follows:
“In order to enhance the image of housing that is affordable, assist in the elimination of health
and safety violations, and improve slum and blight conditions, the AHAC recommends that
the Board of County Commissioners look closely at Code Enforcement Violations prior to
reducing or waiving accumulated fines, so that habitual offenders do not continue to qualify
for fine reductions or waivers. “
b. Cormac recapped CHS’s current procurement solicitations to the group:
