Code-enforcement notices stalled while prosecutor seeks more information

Sep 15, 2026

The council reviewed two Notices and Orders to Correct violations (Deloris Hougardy, 608 Garfield; Dan Rush, 402 Washington). The Town Prosecutor cannot proceed without additional information (Hougardy's SSN or driver’s license; more information needed in Rush case). Mayor DeVere asked a town staffer to contact the prosecutor for follow-up.

The record shows a Notice to Deloris Hougardy at 608 Garfield; the Town Prosecutor is attempting to move the case forward but requires Hougardy's social security number or driver's license number to file in the system. The minutes record the prosecutor pursuing several avenues but unable to proceed without that information.
