Council votes to solicit RFPs for a Code Enforcement Officer amid statutory process changes
Summary
Cllr Medeiros moved and the council unanimously approved requests for proposals to hire a Code Enforcement Officer. Town Attorney Smith explained that Florida law now requires compliance actions to be heard by a hearing officer and limits the board to advisory roles.
The council authorized staff to solicit proposals for a Code Enforcement Officer after a motion by Cllr Medeiros and a second by Cllr Deaderick; the motion passed unanimously.
Town Attorney Smith explained changes to state law affecting code enforcement: "The boards now act as a committee that make recommendations on the code to the council. The compliance action has to be heard by a hearing officer, and the attorney must be an attorney, not by the board," the attorney said, summarizing the new process and its implications for local procedures.
