(Sponsor: Planning and Building Services)

Recommended Action/Motion:
recommendation
Accept Code Enforcement Division’s report and provide direction to staff regarding enforcement priorities and non-priority complaints.
End
Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
Previous Board Direction for Code Enforcement Priorities Includes: Reactive Enforcement (complaint driven) on Life and Safety Issues, Environmental Degradation, Stop Work (Active Non-Permitted Construction), Nuisance Abatement, and Cannabis Regulatory Compliance.
Summary of Request:
The Code Enforcement Division prepared a staff memo to the Board regarding current Division operations, current enforcement priorities and staffing levels. The Division requests that the Board accept the report and in addition provide direction to staff regarding recommended updated enforcement priorities and authorization to exercise discretion regarding anonymous and non-priority complaints. As detailed in the staff memorandum for this item, the Division believes that implementation of the recommended actions will be more efficient and allow the Division to more effectively resolve complaints that cause negative impacts to the community, while taking a more cost-effective low-level enforcement approach to non-priority and certain anonymous complaints.
Please see attached memorandum for additional details and requested direction.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Direct staff to provide further information or additional action or provide no direction to staff.
