Code enforcement officer shortage
What the county recorded
This item is not from the published agenda
It is a stretch of the recording that this archive identified as a separate matter — a call to order, a recess, or something taken up that the agenda does not list. There is no official title, no staff recommendation and no disposition, because the county never recorded one. Everything below is inferred.

Mr. Chairman Mariano. Push him Bradford. I just like to uh you know. I'm still the new commissioner on the block, but you know, I've I've been listening and We have a uh a shortage. Of code enforcement officers. And now no matter how you cut it. If we have rules in place and we're not enforcing them It really just doesn't matter. Or just words on a piece of paper
on a computer screen.
I'm not an expert in the budget process right now. I know that uh Sooner.
I don't know if there's a way that we could start Looking at adding additional code enforcement officers now. But I think if any area of the county government needs Hell. It's code enforcement.
I did not pay him to say that.
Well you didn't. But you know, I got two ears and I'm listening. And and you just can't go to somebody who comes to work and say here's ten things to do today and by the way tomorrow here's fifteen and then twenty. There's a point where The balls will get dropped. Not not by the not by our co enforcement officers, but just by the volume and more responsibilities. We need to do something about that sooner rather than later. So however we do that in the process
Uh let me know. Count me in on that. Because that's what exactly what we need to do. Uh second thing is um
I'm just gonna leave that alone. So let's just go ahead let's just go ahead and hire the coordination officers and get it done and uh And we'll worry about fire pits somewhere down the road.
So
thank you. Okay. Uh Madam Clerk.
