Memo
Office of the Mayor
TO: City Council Members
FROM: Ted Tedesco, Mayor
DATE: April 9, 2003
SUBJECT: Effective Date of Property Maintenance Code
On April 8, 2003, the City Council passed on third reading the new Property Maintenance Code. The
effective date for this new ordinance was left blank in order that we could discuss the appropriate date to
begin enforcement of these new regulations. Since this ordinance represents new restrictions on property
owners, the staff would like some time to adequately educate our citizens about this new law before we
initiate any enforcement efforts.
The next "City Side"will be mailed to our citizens during the months of May and June. A feature story
regarding the new regulation is planned for this newsletter. I am sure the staff will implement other
educational strategies during these same months as well. Therefore,I would suggest that the City Clerk
publish this ordinance with an effective date of July 1,2003. If you have any objections to this effective
date, please bring this up during Council Comments at our April 15th meeting. If we do not hear any
objections,the Clerk will proceed to publish the new Property Maintenance Ordinance with the July 1,2003
effective date.
