S: CODE ENFORCEMENT

Code Enforcement opened an estimated 35 new cases during June, with 69 individual violation items documented across those cases. Several properties had multiple violations listed, which accounts for the difference between the number of cases opened and the total number of violation items

The majority of new violations were related to duty to maintain premises, overgrown weeds or noxious plants, rubbish, trash, debris, and inoperable vehicles These categories represented the primary code enforcement activity for the month and reflect continued staff focus on visible property maintenance issues throughout the community

CODE CASES: CLOSED

Code Enforcement closed 48 cases during June. The largest share of closed cases involved weeds and property maintenance, which accounted for approximately 71 percent of the cases closed during the month

Other closed case categories included lighting complaints, trash and debris, vehicle, trailer, and RV related issues, business license or home occupation concerns, and general complaints. The average case was open for approximately 39 days, with a median of 34 days, showing that most cases were resolved within roughly one month

CODE ENFORCEMENT

JUNIPER DRIVE CODE ENFORCEMENT CASE

Code Enforcement recently closed a property cleanup case on Juniper Drive. When the case was opened, the property had a significant amount of outdoor accumulation, including household trash, discarded materials, a vehicle, a boat hull, overgrown weeds, dead vegetation, and general debris throughout the yard Staff worked with the property owner through the compliance process, and a roll off dumpster was brought in to complete the cleanup The case was brought into compliance in approximately 30 days.

This was a solid Code Enforcement success The property went from being visibly distressed to substantially cleaned up in a short period of time, without the case dragging on for months It is a good example of Code Enforcement doing what it is supposed to do: address problem properties, work toward compliance, and improve neighborhood conditions.

PUBLIC WORKS - FLEET

GENERAL ACTIVITY

Fleet has had an average of 4 work orders per day for the month

40% of the work orders were repairs

60% were PM’s (Preventive Maintenance)

The percentage of PM’s and repairs moved down slightly this month This was due to the multiple absences for staff taking various PTO

Fleet closely tracks PM compliance This is defined as: the percentage of the total Fleet that is not overdue for service

Our goal was 80% PM compliance

Although we beat that goal in April at 87%, for the month of May we have ticked down slightly to 83% PM compliance We will monitor this number and work to improve PM Compliance.
