Hays council explores interlocal code-enforcement agreement with Hays County
Summary
Council discussed pursuing an interlocal agreement with Hays County to provide code-enforcement services including citation authority and legal support; county legal review was requested and sheriff deployment described as a backup option.
Council reviewed staff discussions with Hays County representatives about an interlocal agreement to provide code enforcement, including options for a county code-enforcement officer to write tickets and for county civil/legal support to be used at no cost. The council noted the county will review the city's ordinances and return a draft interlocal for council consideration.
Council members discussed alternatives, including sending sheriff patrols as a 'plan B' if the interlocal approach is not satisfactory. Staff observed that using county legal resources could save the city money on attorney fees, and the council requested a draft agreement and cost estimate from the county legal team before making a final decision.
