Several speakers at the meeting urged stronger code-enforcement capacity within the CRA redevelopment area. One board member reported that a single code-enforcement officer is assigned to the entire beachside and said that workload hampers timely corrections for blighted or safety-related conditions. "I feel like there's... each item has to have an officer that starts it and follows it through ... 1 code enforcement officer for the entire beachside is not enough," the speaker said.

Board members and staff discussed normal administrative timelines and due-process steps required for code enforcement. A staff speaker noted that code enforcement must allow property owners time to correct violations and that some cases can take months before administrative or magistrate action is complete.

Denzel Sykes (referenced in the discussion) was named as the code-enforcement contact by a board member who encouraged direct conversations to better coordinate priorities. Staff and board members agreed to continue coordination and suggested prioritizing the worst public-safety or high-visibility maintenance issues first.

Discussion vs. decisions: The meeting recorded concerns and informal direction to improve coordination; there was no formal staffing decision or budget approval to add a dedicated code-enforcement position at the meeting.

Ending: Board members requested staff follow up with code-enforcement leadership to explore whether additional dedicated coverage for the CRA area is feasible and to report back in a future meeting.
