Title
Incorporated County of Los Alamos Code Ordinance No. 02-285, A Code Ordinance amending Chapter 8 To Add An Article XV to Create A Community Development Advisory Board.
Recommended Action
I introduce, without prejudice, Incorporated County of Los Alamos Code Ordinance No. 02-285, a Code Ordinance amending Chapter 8 to Add an Article XV to Create a Community Development Advisory Board.
Body
In response to recent concerns expressed about the County's Code Enforcement practices, Councilor Maggiore and Councilor Chrobocinski met with two representatives of these concerned citizens and developed the attached proposed ordinance. This ordinance, if adopted, would establish a five-person advisory board whose duties would include reviewing all code enforcement notices of violation on a monthly bases and making policy recommendations to Council based on such reviews. Further responsibilities of the board would include working with staff on revisions and clarifications to the code, community outreach and organizing volunteer neighborhood cleanup efforts.
Alternatives
Council could choose to amend the duties of this board or not adopt this ordinance in which case no such advisory board would be established.
