Residents urge consistent code enforcement; council tables procedures review
Summary
Multiple residents spoke in favor of consistent code enforcement; Council Member David Dryden requested discussion on code‑enforcement procedures but the council tabled the item for later consideration.
Several residents used the Aug. 11 public‑comment period to press the council on code enforcement. Alex Stanley‑Dake read a prepared statement saying the town lacked the ability to enforce ordinances and describing long‑term neglect at a neighboring property that created public‑health and fire‑risk concerns. "Code enforcement isn't about being heavy‑handed. It's about protecting what we've all worked for," Stanley‑Dake said.
Ken Lawrence also read a prepared statement on the topic and Jarret Erwin expressed concern with the town's proposed code‑enforcement policy and suggested changes. Separately, Council Member David Dryden requested discussion of the Town's Code Enforcement Procedures and guidelines; the council voted to table that agenda item, leaving procedural changes for a future meeting.
