Council discusses need for licensed handyperson; deputy reports code-enforcement activity
Summary
City staff said the city still seeks a licensed, insured handyperson. Deputy Ward reported code-enforcement actions including a business relocation, contact with Swamp Cutters, work on Perryman properties, an abandoned church with a tax lien, garbage on Lane St., and a burned house still in violation.
City staff told the council Nov. 26 the city continues to seek a licensed, insured handyperson or maintenance worker to handle tasks outside the scope of the mowing company and the water-services contractor.
City Clerk/Administrator Mary Lou Hildreth said licensing and insurance requirements have made the search difficult. Deputy Ward provided an enforcement update: a Ford business has relocated to Starke; he contacted Mr. Davis of Swamp Cutters about operating from a residentially zoned property; he is addressing code issues involving Perryman properties and an abandoned church with a tax lien; garbage on Lane Street remains a problem; and a burned house remains in violation despite a temporary fence. He also said he reduced the deputy patrol schedule to three deputies he deemed most responsive to the city's needs.
The council did not direct immediate staff action on hiring in the public record, nor set a deadline for filling the handyperson role; follow-up would be handled by city staff.
