SOURCE OF FUNDING:
Costs to prepare this agenda item have been borne by Building Division funds (budget unit 262) that are generated by permit fees.
DISCUSSION:
On August 25, 2020, your Board introduced the above-referenced ordinance for adoption with a directive to the Clerk of the board to publish a pre-adoption summary of the ordinance and set the ordinance for adoption at least one week away. The recommended action will complete adoption of the ordinance and result in publication of a post-adoption summary.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Transferring substandard housing to the Building Inspection Department as set forth in the proposed amendment will require the hiring of additional field personnel.
STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK:
This action supports your Board’s Strategic Framework by enforcing laws and regulations to protect residents.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
None.
ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Board could choose not to adopt the ordinance but that is not recommended because doing so will not expedite enforcement of local or state laws and regulations.
