At a meeting of the Code Compliance Advisory Committee (CCAC), members directed county staff to prepare a consolidated list of CCAC recommendations from the past three years and report back on each item’s status, while receiving progress reports on an ad hoc code‑compliance ordinance effort, the conversion of legacy case records into the Tyler case‑management system, and new digital building‑permit processes.

Committee members said the list should be concise and circulated ahead of the next CCAC meeting so members can review and prepare comments rather than attempting to recreate the record from memory at the meeting.

The request follows repeated CCAC concerns that past recommendations sometimes did not reach final implementation. CCAC members asked staff to produce a punch list that categorizes (1) recommendations already implemented, (2) items now handled by the ad hoc committee, and (3) items still awaiting action. Committee members and staff agreed the target is to have the draft list available before the next CCAC meeting so members can review it in advance.

Ad hoc committee work: committee members and staff reported that the ad hoc tasked with drafting code and procedures is continuing to revise a draft code using state templates and portions of an older local code as starting points. Ad hoc members said the group is focusing on a non‑punitive, cost‑recovery approach (fees for services rather than fines) and is editing language to fit local needs; the draft will return to the full CCAC for consideration before any board submittal.

Case‑log and Tyler conversion: Bart Connor, who presented the case‑log update, described the county’s ongoing migration of historic case records into the Tyler platform and gave a snapshot of current workloads. "Right now there’s, in Tyler, there’s about 332 cases that are open," Connor said. He added that once remaining legacy records are converted the total may be closer to 400–425 cases and that staff had closed roughly 173 cases since January 2024.

Connor said the Tyler implementation makes it easier to generate reports by case type (building, planning and zoning, health and safety, fire), and to track revenue tied to inspections. He clarified that the figures shown as "invoiced code case revenue" reflect inspection fees rather than fines or penalties and that environmental health still handles some invoicing for health‑and‑safety matters, which is why that column showed zero in the snapshot presented.

Building‑permit and workflow changes: the county building director, Karina, gave a demonstration of the digital permit and review workflow now operating through Tyler and a Bluebeam plan‑review integration. Karina said the building office no longer accepts incomplete packages for plan review. "We do not take incomplete packages, period. It has to be a full submittal," Karina said, noting that the policy and digital workflow reduce duplicate paper copies, speed reviews and improve recordkeeping.

Karina and other staff described several measurable changes: the building group reported completing a "whole‑house" permit review in about eight days on a recent example and an average building‑permit turnaround of about one and a half weeks for many permit types. The department also reported automated inspection notices, immediate emailed certificates on final inspections, and a customer‑service feedback routine that has produced mainly four‑ and five‑star responses. Karina said the code‑enforcement side is not yet fully built out in Tyler but will include workflows and automated reminders (for example, for compliance agreements or permit expirations) as the ad hoc and staff finalize procedures.

What the CCAC decided and next steps: the CCAC asked staff to prepare and circulate the consolidated three‑year recommendations/status list before the next meeting and to keep ad hoc updates as a standing agenda item. The ad hoc will continue drafting code language and supporting procedures and will return a work product to the full CCAC for review before any board referral. There were no formal votes on ordinance language at the meeting; the only formal votes recorded during the session were approval of the July 11 meeting minutes and the adjournment of the meeting.

The CCAC said it expects the staff‑prepared list and ad hoc progress updates to improve accountability and allow members to prioritize remaining tasks for referral to the Board of Supervisors or for departmental implementation.
