City manager to explore part-time code enforcement officer for upcoming budget
Summary
City Manager Scott Czasak told the Committee of the Whole he will explore adding a part-time code enforcement officer in the upcoming budget because Fire Chief Randy Heckroth, who currently handles code enforcement, cannot dedicate sufficient time due to the high volume of fire and medical calls; Czasak said the topic will be on the Feb. 17 agenda.
At the Feb. 6 Caro City Committee of the Whole meeting, City Manager Scott Czasak said he will explore adding a part-time code enforcement officer in the upcoming city budget. Czasak explained that Fire Chief Randy Heckroth currently performs code enforcement duties but that an increased volume of fire and medical calls has limited the chief’s ability to manage those responsibilities effectively.
Czasak said he plans to place the item on the Feb. 17 council agenda for further discussion. The Feb. 6 meeting included no formal decision or budget vote on the position.
Why it matters: creating a dedicated code enforcement position could change how quickly property and nuisance issues are addressed, and may require a budget allocation. The manager’s exploration is an early planning step; the council will consider specifics, cost and timing at a later meeting.
