CODE ENFORCEMENT Mattick noted this is an item that was discussed at the Council's December meeting. The City Council at that time agreed to have a future vote on whether to pursue code enforcement for the property owner at 1386 Rest Point Road. Mattick indicated this is a two-part process. The first part deals with how the City handles code enforcement in general and that he has attempted to provide some of that background information in his report. The second part was to determine what to do regarding the property on Rest Point Road. One of the items is a bit misleading. Mattick stated his report lays out how many open cases there are throughout the City. At the present time there is really only one legal proceeding going on, which is a hazardous building matter that was approved by the Council at their last meeting. Otherwise there are no pending cases at this point in time and all complaints are being handled at a staff level. Walsh stated it seems like the complaint process is working pretty well but that at times it seems like some of the complaints take a long time to handle. Walsh stated some of the issues in the past were fairly serious but the City would not do anything about them unless a complaint was received, which is a fine line. Page 20 of 24
