Costa
DATE: March 5, 1984 County
SUBJECT: Review of Procedures to Strengthen Enforcement of
County Code Requirements
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1 . Approve the formation of a Task Force on County Ordinance Code Enforcement
consisting of representatives from the Planning Department, Building Inspection
Department, Animal Services Department, Health Services Department, County Counsel ,
District Attorney, Sheriff-Corner; with the County Administrator's Office responsible
for convening the Task Force.
The Task Force is to be charged with preparing a report on the background of County
Ordinance Code enforcement, the current procedures utilized by each department,
legal issues involved in such enforcement, the role of the courts and other law
enforcement agencies in the enforcement process. The Task Force is to identify and
make recommendations to the Board on possible improvements in the Ordinance Code
enforcement field, including evaluating the possibility of implementing citation
authority, recommendations for improvements to State law or the County Ordinance Code,
budget and staffing implications of an increased enforcement program, and efforts
which can be made in the community to improve compliance with the Ordinance Code
provisions.
2. Remove this item as a referral to our Committee.
BACKGROUND:
On January 31 , 1984, the Board referred to our Committee a memorandum from Supervisor
Torlakson summarizing a meeting he had had with staff from the County departments
responsible for various elements of County Ordinance Code enforcement. Supervisor
Torlakson outlined several suggestions for improving Ordinance Code enforcement. The
County Administrator's Office presented a report dated February 28, 1984 summarizing
the present procedures which are followed, and recommending the formation of a Task
Force as outlined above.
We believe that such a Task Force will be able to come up with recommendations for the
Board which will help in improving the enforcement program presently underway in the
County in those areas where improvement is believed to be necessary.
