CODE ENFORCEMENT UPDATE
Code Enforcement Officer Toni Berkshire provided and presented
case load numbers to the Board. Code Enforcement's approach is
to educate the parcel owner and work with them, on a reasonable
time frame, for completing and getting the issues up to code.
Parcel owners who show they are working towards the end goal,
staying in communication, and providing updates are considered
in compliance.
