Local business owner tells council of repeated inspections, unannounced property entries and citation disputes
Summary
During public comment, Mister Mamoui of 1910 Highway 138 told the council he has faced citations and inspections, says people entered his property without identification, and requested clearer inspection procedures; the council did not take formal action but a council member said the visitors were not code enforcement.
Mister Mamoui, who identified his address as 1910 Highway 138, used the allotted public-comment time to tell the council he has received several citations and has been inspected by state and local officials. He said people entered his property, opened gates and walked around without providing identification or leaving contact information, and that the incidents frightened his wife.
“I have 5 animals. [They] came into my property, opened the gates...They didn’t leave a card. They didn’t present. They didn’t even say it would be out,” Mister Mamoui said, describing a visit in which he said those who entered did not identify themselves and later resulted in a citation.
Mister Mamoui also said police were involved at one point and that evidence-gathering and video exist; he offered to provide that material to the council. He complained about missing or stolen items and asked officials to call before entering private property.
The presiding official responded during the exchange, clarifying that the individuals referenced were not code-enforcement officers according to council remarks recorded during the meeting. No formal investigatory action or staff assignment was recorded in the transcript during the session.
The council did not take immediate formal action on Mister Mamoui’s statements at the meeting; the complaint was heard during the public-comment period and Mister Mamoui said he would provide evidence directly to the council.
