Sebring council adopts ordinance prohibiting obstruction of code‑enforcement officers
Summary
On second and final reading the council approved Ordinance 15‑74, amending Sec. 2‑4‑21 to prohibit obstruction or interference with enforcement of the city code.
City attorney Swain presented Ordinance 15‑74 on June 16, describing it as an amendment to Section 2‑4‑21 of the Sebring Code of Ordinances to prohibit obstruction or interference with enforcement of city code. After a motion and second, the council approved the ordinance on second and final reading without public opposition.
The measure revises local code enforcement authority to clarify that obstruction or interference with enforcement activities is prohibited; the attorney said the proposed ordinance provided an effective date and sought council approval to adopt the change.
Why it matters: The ordinance clarifies enforcement authority and the city's expectations for cooperation during code‑enforcement work, and it was adopted on its second and final reading.
