Pelletier code enforcement leans toward outreach, reports e‑bike nuisance and multiple property cases
Summary
Code enforcement Lt. Chris Jetson told commissioners he prefers warnings and outreach over citations, reported 27 traffic stops last month, described a recurring group of youths riding e‑bikes and trespassing, and outlined ongoing property cases and the sheriff's call log.
Lt. Chris Jetson, Pelletier's code enforcement officer, told the board July 6 that he has had success using informal outreach rather than immediately issuing citations, asking residents to clean yards or remove trash and seeing good compliance.
Jetson said traffic enforcement in town produced 27 stops last month — largely for speeding and stop‑sign violations — and recommended clearer signage in areas where speed limits change. He also described complaints about a pack of youths riding electric bicycles: he said the group trespassed on private property, rode in streets without helmets and encouraged rude behavior toward residents; Jetson reported attempting parent outreach with mixed results.
On property enforcement, Jetson reported several specific cases: one formerly visible boat at a lawn‑mower‑factory property has been removed; the long‑running 133 Sainsbur Lane case remains open; he has issued deadlines on a slow‑moving cleanup at 803 West Forks Road; and a 108 Leacourt case was closed after trash was removed. He closed by noting the sheriff's office logged 63 town calls for service in the month (49 out‑of‑town/additional jurisdiction calls were also listed in the packet).
Jetson invited questions and said he will continue outreach and follow‑up; the board had brief clarifying exchanges about scope and next steps but did not direct immediate enforcement changes in the transcript excerpt.
