Antioch council orders monthly code-enforcement updates and more outreach
Summary
Council members agreed to monthly council updates and monthly social-media posts to share CET and code-enforcement actions with the public, aiming to correct perceptions that the city is inactive.
Council members said residents often don’t see the work code enforcement and encampment teams do and asked staff to regularly communicate results. The council agreed to two parallel actions: monthly code‑enforcement updates at council meetings and regular social-media posts to highlight removals, services offered and follow-up.
Tracy Miller summarized the request and asked the city manager if monthly updates and increased social-media outreach were feasible; the city manager confirmed staff can provide monthly updates and the council asked staff to ensure council members receive the same data simultaneously. A council member asked that CET (encampment engagement team) summaries include locations, services offered and outcomes so the public can track follow-up.
Council members emphasized transparency and consistent messaging as a tool to change public perception about enforcement activity. Staff accepted the direction and will incorporate monthly updates into the council calendar and social-media plan.
