This meeting was mainly an informative session. The
Committee informed staff that they and their colleagues on
the Common Council wish to change the "minimum code enforce-
ment and inspection syndrome" the City now has, to one of
strict, maximum requirement. The Director of Building and
Safety, Mr. Sutton, presented an overview of his observa-
tions, up to this point. He reported recent incidents and
violations, the need for personnel training, the need for
interdepartmental interchange and cooperation and the need to
go back to basics before going ahead. His report also
covered contractor building without permits, permits issued
to anyone that applies, low salaries of inspector personnel
and need for followup on citations issued. Mr. Sutton did
indicate that Building and Safety is not set up structurally
to handle additional code enforcement at this time. He will
be providing a full report through the Deputy Administrator
for Development as his tenure increases and time is avail-
able. He also indicated to the Committee that he would be
requesting some changes and, if quality is desired, the
Council could expect some higher costs. The Committee
commended Mr. Sutton on his report and asked that another
meeting to include the Building Commissioner representatives
and City Attorney be scheduled in three weeks.
Meeting adjourned.
