Scott County adopts ordinance creating county code enforcement officer
Summary
The board adopted Ordinance No. 6 to create a county code enforcement officer position to support planning, health and other departments enforcing county ordinances; the ordinance will be posted for public review.
Chair presented Ordinance No. 6 creating a county code enforcement officer position and asked for a motion to adopt. "So tonight, we do have an ordinance creating the county code enforcement officer. This is ordinance number 6," the chair said while outlining the position's intent to assist planning, the health department and other county departments with enforcement.
A commissioner moved and seconded the ordinance; after brief discussion the motion carried on a voice vote. Commissioners agreed to post the ordinance on the county website for public review.
Why it matters: Creating the code enforcement officer centralizes routine ordinance enforcement and provides a defined point of contact for departments that need enforcement assistance. The position could change how the county handles nuisance, building or public health ordinance issues going forward.
Next steps: The ordinance will be posted to the county website and the county will proceed with whatever hiring or assignment steps are required under local procedures.
