Title
Request for Expanded Codes Enforcement within the Eastside CRA District (NB)
Explanation
During their February Board meeting, the Eastside Redevelopment Board discussed the need for additional Code Enforcement during evenings and weekends. The Board discussed that there seems to be a noticeable increase in violations when Codes Enforcement is not expected. The Board expressed concern regarding vendors selling items like CD's and sneakers along the roadside and major car repairs taking place in neighborhoods during the weekend.
Code Enforcement indicates that most of its overtime budget goes towards evening neighborhood meetings, but that officers are assigned periodically to work weekends to enforce activities outside normal working hours.
Fiscal Note
To be determined
Recommendation
CRA to the City Commission: Recommend the City Commission explore greater code enforcement coverage for evening and weekend hours to address street vending and other code violations.
