Summary
Public commenter Shannon Wheeler described trash and odor problems at a nearby rental property, cited maggots and rodents, and asked the town to review code enforcement options; Assistant Town Manager Jason McNutt agreed to investigate.
During public comment, Shannon Wheeler described a persistent trash and odor problem at a neighboring rental property after a power outage, saying the stench prevented children from using her front porch and that the debris attracted maggots and rodents. "We couldn't open the front door...the stench was so bad," Wheeler said, urging the council to review the town code and consider enforcement options.
Moderator asked Assistant Town Manager Jason McNutt to look into the matter; McNutt responded, "I don't have an answer for you right this minute, but give me some time to look into this. I gotta review the code and look into code enforcement to see real quick." The transcript records the town agreeing to review the materials Wheeler supplied; no enforcement action or timeline was recorded during the meeting.
