Estimate
MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS LAST YEAR:
• Initiated 4 proactive area sweeps
• Initiated and administered 4 community clean ups
• Implemented weekend coverage
PENDING CHALLENGES
• Loss of Sheriff’s Environmental Unit
Beginning in Fiscal Year 2012, the Sheriff’s Environmental Unit (3 uniformed
officers detailed to abandoned vehicle, illegal dumping, derelict vessel and similar
complaints) and was defunded. As a result, these calls began to be routed to Code
Enforcement. On October 1, 2013 Code Enforcement began tracking the former
environmental calls it receives. From October 1, 2013 until present Code
Enforcement has addressed 76 vehicle issues, 9 vessels, and 28 illegal dumping
calls
• Unlicensed Contracting
The Code Enforcement Division is receiving an increasing number of calls
pertaining to unlicensed contracting activities. To combat this, and to address the
increasing workload associated with the dissolution of the Sheriff’s environmental
Unit, the Department is proposing to add an additional Code Enforcement Officer
position.
