Mayor Blake Wright introduced Mary Disotell as the new City Compliance Officer at the Aug. 4 council meeting.

Disotell said she spent seven years in law enforcement and three years doing code compliance work for Providence. She described her approach as sending letters and warnings before issuing citations for most infractions; parking violations typically go directly to citation, she said. Disotell told the council she would contract five hours per week with River Heights and asked residents to use the posted email with questions or concerns.

Councilmembers asked about enforcement priorities and procedures. Disotell said she would address clear-view obstructions, unsafe parking in winter, unsupervised dirt bike riders, and significant weed or yard issues, generally trying to engage residents first and escalate to citations when necessary.
