Huachuca City council backs active code enforcement despite potential costs
Summary
Councilmembers directed staff to pursue active, equal enforcement of zoning, health and safety, and neighborhood preservation codes after hearing resident concerns; Town Manager warned enforcement could trigger legal challenges and costs.
Town Manager Suzanne Harvey told the council that residents raised repeated concerns about property conditions at a recent CDBG meeting and requested stronger enforcement of zoning, health and safety, buildings and construction, and neighborhood preservation rules. Harvey said staff — including the police department and department leads — are "prepared to be aggressive," but cautioned that enforcement actions could prompt legal challenges and additional Town costs.
Mayor Johann R. Wallace and other council members agreed on the need for active enforcement and equal application of the Town Code. The council’s direction was procedural: staff were told to proceed with more assertive enforcement and to be prepared to handle potential legal processes; no specific enforcement ordinance or funding allocation was adopted at the March 26 meeting.
