Staff previews new solid-waste policy and notes stronger code enforcement activity
Summary
Staff reported stepped-up code-enforcement activity, permit issuance and said the next board session will include a new solid-waste policy that updates the current ordinance; staff also said they are preparing a sewer proposal for future discussion.
City staff summarized recent code-enforcement activity and permitting and told the council they are preparing ordinance and policy updates. The presenter said enforcement is moving faster this year—more notices are being sent, permits for sheds and signs were issued—and that the municipality will receive a new solid-waste policy at the next board session. "In our next board session, you will see a new solid waste policy with updates from our current ordinance to encompass what we've been working on last year," the staff member said.
The report also flagged increased attention to stormwater infrastructure on private properties, work to compile enforceable parking and signage rules and a planned sewer proposal to address recurring repair costs at the Ports Building; staff said additional follow-up with the finance/zoning official would continue. No ordinance vote was taken at this meeting; staff will return with draft language for council review.
