Planning staff reports decline in open enforcement cases and a fiscal-year high in monthly permit fees
Summary
Staff told the board that open code enforcement cases dropped from nearly 70 to 21 since last September and that the town collected $75,023 in permit fees for the fiscal year, with June bringing $10,883 — the highest monthly total since February 2025.
Planning staff reported measurable progress on code enforcement and permitting at the July 27 meeting. “There were almost 70 code enforcement cases open when I started last September. We're now at 21,” staff said, noting the department deleted several resolved files and expects the number to be lower next month.
Staff also reported financial and inspection metrics: the town collected $75,023 in permit fees this fiscal year, with June's collections totaling $10,883 — the highest single-month total since February 2025 — and the department performed 244 inspections over the fiscal year. Staff described the trend as evidence of improved responsiveness and enforcement capacity, attributing gains in part to more proactive inspections and upcoming hires.
