City manager outlines code enforcement, parking ticket surge and storm‑drain work
Summary
City Manager Alexander reported three certificate‑of‑occupancy violations, stepped‑up downtown parking enforcement (13,450 YTD tickets through Sept. 17), crosswalk painting and ongoing engineering work to address storm‑drain and flooding issues, and said the stadium field is expected to be ready in 2025.
City Manager Alexander told the council the building and code enforcement departments have been addressing overcrowding and inspections that produced three certificate‑of‑occupancy violations in recent weeks, and that staff are educating downtown business owners about sign and noise rules.
Alexander also reported intensified parking enforcement downtown, noting 43 tickets issued the previous day and a year‑to‑date total of 13,450 through Sept. 17 compared with 11,455 at the same point last year. He said the city is working with a consultant funded by $600,000 in sustainability grant awards to identify storm‑drain fixes and prepare requests for proposals for needed work. Alexander said punch‑list work is ongoing at Depew Park and that the stadium field is anticipated to be ready in 2025.
Why it matters: the report outlines near‑term operational priorities — code enforcement, parking and stormwater infrastructure — that may appear in the upcoming budget and procurement cycles.
