Residents urge pause on Title 16 rewrite; city schedules two public workshops
Summary
A resident urged the council to pause a consultant‑led rewrite of Title 16 and to use local staff and resident input instead. City staff announced two public workshops on Title 16 for June 4 (5:30 p.m.) and June 6 (10:00 a.m.) to solicit input.
During public comment, resident Gregory Bear urged the council to slow down proposed changes to Title 16 code enforcement and criticized outsourcing the rewrite to an out‑of‑state consultant. “Firmly is not Henderson,” Bear said, arguing the city needs tailored solutions rather than importing a suburban code template; he also raised due‑process concerns about a single official enforcing violations and presiding over appeals.
The city subsequently announced two public workshops on Title 16 that staff said are intended to provide residents a chance to review the draft and offer input. Staff asked that residents contact the Code Enforcement Department with questions; the workshops are scheduled for June 4 at 5:30 p.m. and June 6 at 10:00 a.m.
Council did not take formal action on Title 16 at the meeting; staff said the workshops are intended to increase public participation as the draft is refined.
