Ill. PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE FIRST READING OF BUDGET ORDINANCES.
D. 2. b) Public discussion and comments. Mayor Kirk asked whether there were any questions or comments from the public. Citizen Liz Wisener addressed the!
Council regarding a proposed position that was deleted from the budget, Code Enforcement Field
Representative/Officer. She stressedthe need forthis position and since there was a surplus of funds, the Council could
revisit the discussion of having this position. Mr. John Ed Burdeshaw addressed the Council on behalf of the Economic
Councii stating they strongly support anything the Council can do towards Code Enforcement.
Council Member Oliver noted that it would cost nine thousand, five hundred sixty-nine dollars ($9,569.00) per year for
sixteen hours per week (Salary $7,488.00, Social Security $573.00 and $1508.00 in milage) to support a Code Officer
job. He thought the position was needed to support Chief Tomey with his code enforcement duties.
Council Member Williams asked what would this person do to help support Chief Tomey. The Chief responded that they
would do field work, inspections, trips to the property, check for new violations. Mayor Kirk interjected and write
violations themselves. Council Member Williams questioned whether to make it a voluntary" position like the volunteer
firefighters' or police officers'. Council was not in favor of the position being voluntary, but that it should be a paid
position.
Council Member Oliver moved to amend proposed Ordinance No. 779 to include $9,569.00 for a sixteen hours
per week Code Enforcement Feld Representative/Officer; seconded by Council Member Williams.
Discussion continued concerning the pros and cons of code enforcement. Mayor Kirk asked Chief Tomey whether he
felt like he needed this help. He responded yes, but that the interpertation of the codes would still be left up to him.
Mayor Kirk continued his comments by stating he had some reservations about adding this person, and thatifthe issues
of code enforcement are still not being properly addressed it may be time to consider this a full-time position.
Citizen Jim Price addressed the Council giving them an example of a code violation that has been going on in Blue
Heron Golf and Country Club and how an additional person could benefit Chief Tomey on this issue.
Council instructed Administrator Veach to keep an eye on the code enforcement situation and when the time comes
to make it a full time position to bring it to the Council's attention.
