Council backs active code enforcement despite legal-cost warning

Town Manager Suzanne Harvey told the council that residents at a recent CDBG meeting raised concerns about property appearance and code compliance and asked whether the council wanted aggressive enforcement of the Town’s zoning, health and safety, building and neighborhood-preservation provisions. Harvey said staff and police are prepared to act but cautioned, "we are prepared to be aggressive, but she wants Council to be cognizant that some people may fight us on it and it may end up in court, so it may end up costing us some money."
