Residents press council for tougher code enforcement and blight remedies
Summary
Multiple public commenters at the Aug. 25 meeting urged the city to enforce codes on convenience stores, apartment complexes and properties with litter and illegal dumping, and asked for better follow-through on tickets and fines.
Several residents used the public comment period to press city leaders for stronger code enforcement in commercial corridors and apartment complexes. Val McGowan and others pointed to persistent litter, oil stains and poorly maintained storefronts on Buena Vista and Forest roads and asked that code inspection or animal-control authorities enforce existing ordinances instead of relying on repeated cleanup spending.
Councilors acknowledged the complaints and asked staff for follow-up. Councilor Tucker requested a meeting with the Georgetown community, PAWS/animal services, code enforcement and the contracted humane provider to address allegedly unauthorized cat colonies and to explore ordinance updates so communities can petition against colonies when they do not want them.
