summary
Summary Explanation/Background:
While enforcing all emergency orders generated during the COVID-19 crisis, it was determined that additional enforcement of such orders through the Code Enforcement Division would be beneficial. Therefore, we propose the Code be modified where needed and as suggested to provide Code Enforcement the ability to cite violations when applicable, if voluntary compliance is not achieved.
