City staff tells El Paso commission property maintenance team will move to a consolidated PD Code Enforcement department
Summary
City staff told the Building and Standards Commission that the property maintenance team will shift from Planning & Inspections to a new PD Code Enforcement department as part of a city reorganization; future meetings may involve PD Code Enforcement leadership.
City staff told the Building and Standards Commission on March 20 that the city is moving toward creating a consolidated PD Code Enforcement department and that the property maintenance team currently assigned to Planning & Inspections will shift to that new department.
A staff member said the reorganization will create a stand-alone code enforcement department to oversee code enforcement activities citywide (excluding PD or fire emergency responses) and that planning and inspections would work with the new PD Code Enforcement department during the transition.
The staff member said the commission may see representation from the PD Code Enforcement director or authorized representatives at future meetings, and mentioned Director Steve Alvarado as an example of future leadership who may appear before the commission. Staff said they would coordinate to ensure a smooth transition of commission duties during the changeover.
Commissioners thanked staff and acknowledged the commission’s volunteer role in advising the city on deficient structures. No formal action was taken at the meeting on the reorganization; staff provided the update for the commission’s awareness.
The announcement signals an administrative change in how code enforcement work will be organized and which department’s leadership will regularly engage with the Building and Standards Commission going forward.
