Sheriff urges nuisance-property ordinance after repeated responses to one address
Summary
Sheriff Mike Osmond asked the committee to ask corporate counsel to draft a nuisance-property ordinance after describing a property the sheriff's office visited "approximately 100 times in 2025;" he suggested starting enforcement with a warning letter and a copy of the ordinance.
Sheriff Mike Osmond told the committee the department has been to one property "approximately 100 times in 2025" and asked the committee to pursue an ordinance to hold landlords accountable for conditions at problem properties. Osmond said an ordinance could include fees and that the process could begin with a warning letter and a copy of the proposed ordinance.
Osmond asked corporate counsel to draft ordinance language and sought verbal backing from law enforcement before proceeding. Committee members asked clarifying questions about how the ordinance would affect landlords who comply and whether initial steps could include notices before fees or enforcement.
