CODE OF ORDINANCES TO ADOPT RECOMMENDED CHANGES
FROM THE CITIZENS COMMITTEE ESTABLISHED TO REVIEW
THE CITY’S PROPERTY CODE AND CHANGES RECOMMENDED
BY THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND COMMUNITY SERVICES
DEPARTMENT
Title and summary of Ordinance No. BG2014 - 12 was read by the Assistant City
Manager/City Clerk. Motion was made by Hill and seconded by Williams for first reading of said
Ordinance. DeFebbo recounted a review of the City’s Property Code with assistance by a Citizen
Committee began over a year ago. He recommended approval of the changes which were presented at
a previous work session.
Commissioner Hill inquired if there had been any other discussion about developing a
definition for excessive yard art and overgrown shrubbery. Neighborhood and Community Services
Director Brent Childers responded that the Code Enforcement staff had discussed it internally. He
stated that he would like to separate out that specific item in order to move forward with these
revisions and to continue work on developing an appropriate standard to consider. Mr. DeFebbo
interjected that the Code Enforcement Board (CEB) would be the arbitrator of such standards. Mr.
Childers said they were still working on a mechanism to get from point A (complaint) to B (Code
Enforcement Board) and would develop an internal policy for Code Enforcement Officers to follow.
Commissioner Williams stated he thought that was a good starting point.
Mayor Wilkerson voiced concern with language in Section 2-23.04(d) allowing the CEB to
appoint its own member if the Board of Commissioners did not act within 60 days to fill a vacancy.
He felt it was important that any prospective CEB member be accepted by the entire Board of
Commissioners. Mayor Wilkerson also voiced concern with Section 2-23.10 which would allow the
CEB to appoint a single hearing officer. He commented he did not like the idea of an individual
hearing a case and thought it was more appropriate to have the entire CEB hearing cases. City
Attorney Gene Harmon confirmed that the language contained in the ordinance regarding the vacancy
issue was already existing language and both issues came straight out of state statutes.
There was additional discussion about whether or not the state language was required or could
be considered as a policy decision by the Board of Commissioners to remove it. There was also an
inquiry if any other boards/commissions had the ability to appoint their own members if the Board of
Commissioners did not act within a specified timeframe to fill a vacancy. Both Mr. Harmon and Ms.
Schaller thought there was at least one other board/commission with similar language, but was unsure
at this point which one. Since there was no rush to adopt the recommended changes, Mr. DeFebbo
suggested the ordinance be tabled in order to find the answers to the questions. Motion was made by
Wilkerson and seconded by Denning to table Ordinance No. BG2014 – 12 until the next meeting to
9
(Minutes-Board of Commissioners-May 20, 2014)
allow the City Attorney to complete the requested research. With no discussion, a roll call vote was
taken.
ROLL CALL: Voting Yea: Denning, Hill, Waltrip, Williams and Wilkerson
Voting Nay: None
Motion to table first reading of Ordinance No. BG2014 - 12 was approved by unanimous vote.
(Editor’s note: Since Mr. Harmon would not be able to attend the June 3rd meeting, the continued
discussion of this ordinance would be postponed until July.)
