Fillmore council sends proposed code enforcement ordinance back to planning commission after resident objections
Summary
A resident told the council that "a code enforcement officer for the city is not necessary," and the council accepted the Planning Commission's recommendation to deny the proposed code enforcement ordinance and sent it back for further review, voting unanimously.
During public comment, Russell Shields told the council that "a code enforcement officer for the city is not necessary," suggesting instead that existing staff such as the fire marshal could handle many enforcement needs and that the city should thoroughly review its code for arbitrary sections.
After hearing public comment, the council formally accepted the Planning Commission's recommendation to deny the proposed city code enforcement ordinance and directed it back to the Planning Commission for further review. The motion to accept the denial carried by a unanimous vote.
Councilmember Amber Rausch said it was important to hear citizens before drafting any new ordinance, and Mayor Curt Hare said discussion items will be placed on council agendas earlier in the process going forward so citizens and council can weigh in before a proposal advances.
