Commissioners authorize legal enforcement on two properties with failed septic systems
Summary
Jefferson County commissioners voted to authorize health‑department legal enforcement on two properties with unresolved septic problems at 3221 North 850 West and 3027 East State Road 56; the motion passed by voice vote with five ayes reported.
The Jefferson County Board of Commissioners voted June 11 to authorize the health department to begin legal enforcement on two properties the department says are not in livable condition because owners failed to follow remediation orders.
A health department staff member outlined the cases and the addresses — 3221 North 850 West and 3027 East State Road 56 — and requested formal authorization to file court actions. "These are for our legal action to start," the staff member said, explaining the orders had described remediation steps residents must complete before the department would rescind the orders. A commissioner moved to proceed and a second followed; the chair asked "All those in favor, say 5 aye," and the motion was recorded as moved.
The action authorizes staff to pursue court filings so the county can compel remediation under existing public‑health authority. Commissioners did not discuss alternative remedies during the recorded motion; the vote reflects the board’s direction to begin legal enforcement as described by health staff.
