Council adopts ordinance moving rodent‑abatement authority to building director and mandating annual contracts for certain multi‑unit buildings
Summary
An ordinance transferring rodent‑abatement authority from the Board of Health to the Building Director and requiring annual abatement contracts for some multi‑residential buildings passed unanimously.
The City Council voted to adopt an ordinance that transfers authority for rodent abatement from the Board of Health to the Building Director and requires annual rodent‑abatement contracts for certain multi‑residential buildings.
The ordinance amends Chapter 14.90 of the Codified Ordinances of Berwyn to reassign administrative responsibility and to mandate annual contracts for specified multi‑family properties. The motion to adopt the ordinance was made, seconded and carried by roll call; the clerk recorded eight ayes.
The nut graf: The change centralizes enforcement and contract authority in the building department and creates a recurring contract requirement intended to address rodent issues in multi‑unit buildings.
Discussion vs. decision: Council debated and then formally adopted the ordinance; this meeting action constituted a final passage vote (record shows motion carried and signatures authorized).
Ending: The ordinance was ordered to be affixed with necessary corporate signatures and placed on its way to passage.
