~I~Y OF SAN BERtRRDINO - RIEQUEST ~OR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
This proposed ordinance assigns the responsibility for abatement of
nuisances to the Director of Pub~ic Services or the Director of
Bui~ding and Safety and makes one clarification.
In establishing the Code Compliance section in the Bui~ding and
Safety Department, the responsibi~ity for abating nuisances was
transferred to Bui~ding and Safety. However, on occasion the Director
of Pub~ic Services is cal~ed to do abatements.
The ordinance which provides for abatement indicated the Director of
Public Services was responsib~e. This proposed change brings the
ordinance into consistency with the actua~ practice.
The language c~arification adds the words "and/or contents" to
Section 15.28.120 to describe the materials in the bui~ding. This
c~arifies the terms to remove any question regarding the contents
being included. .
It is respectfu~ly recommended that the proposed ordinance be given
a first reading and ~aid over for final reading.
