Code Compliance Division

Comment Up

In the Back-up for tonight's special meeting is the following:

Department for Community Sustainability
1. What changes are planned for FY 2014?

· Administration Division
o Economic Development Manager moved to City Manager’s Office
· Business Tax Receipts/Use & Occupancy Division
o No changes
o Some increases in revenues due to improved collections and code
· Planning, Zoning & Historic Preservation Division
o Proposed half time Associate Planner to handle Business Tax Receipt and Use &
Occupancy applications due to increased work load demands
o Additional fee revenue from adoption of Land Development Regulations and
establishment of new fees.
· Code Compliance Division
o No staffing changes

o Some increases in revenue based on improved collections
· Building Division
o No staff changes
o No increase in projected permit revenue

So which is it?  Are we outsourcing this department as the city manager announced or are we not per the city's own documentation?

Blanket laws create Unintended
Consequences!

It's an Anti - Property Rights Agenda 21 REVENUE GENERATOR!
Must have Built in Customers!
1/2 MILLION $$$ to start this NEW DEPT. (Stanton Creation, sorry)

FYI: Code was about public safety in public buildings in the beginning - why if the public isn't invited to my house must I obey?

Am I not Individually Responsible to keep Property Relationships Positive amongst my immediately effected neighbors and reject Cookie Cutter UN Agendas that Do Not Work for me and my neighbors?

Anyone else Blown away by the
Spray Paint 'X' on items put
out on the wrong day? I felt
like a Jewish Person w/a RED STAR
placed on ME so EVERYONE saw and Knew I was a Bad girl! What was my offense in nearly 20 Years in LW - I put 5 palm fronds out on the Wrong FRIDAY of the Month!

A new Snowbird neighbor put their yard trash out on the wrong Friday. Another neighbor explained to the code officer they were new and probably unaware of the proper times to put it out, offered to pull it back onto the property and put it out on the correct day. What was he told - He ALREADY SPRAYED THE "X" On it!

ELECTED Public Servants empowering EMPLOYEE's to PUNISH ME in a way
EVERYONE see's? Wassup w/that Chit?

Every type of Word Salad has been served (UNSUCCESSFULLY) on this topic but one - WHAT DO WE THE PEOPLE suggest to solve it?

So Yes we have a problem. but how do We the People solve it?

Remember 10 in of grass and the CITY CAN STEAL YOUR HOMESTEADED HOUSE - all while they are unable to cut the grass on the property they already own! Oh FYI: Those code officers - They have been GRANTED Immunity from Civil and Criminal PROSECUTION for entering YOUR PRIVATE PROPERTY Upon Suspicion of a violation!

Yepper roo - new word salad will solve our never ending problem!

Toss the Word Salad reps - Ask US and Do Not Dare Tell US what the UN and your Non Governmental Organization (Memberships we the people PAY FOR) want for US!

bornstein totally relied on the IA's report and fired everyone or they left because conditions were unbearable there. Morale is at a all time low.

Bornstein hasn't produced anything positive or of any consequence since collecting his $135,000 LW salary. He has, though, said that he doesn't need to change things...only the public's perception. Smoke and mirrors. When people begin to question, he directs the focus off of himself. While everyone is bickering about heights, code enforcement, etc, he collects his salary while playing with his pirate toys in his big boy office. Bravo, Cap'n Bornstein. Aaarrgh.

Not a surprise about CM Bornstein, he is pathetic. He will not respond even to citizen emails and concerns. Completely ignores the public altogether, what a shame for the elected to allow this of him, and he makes $135K, for being completely no responsive is sinful. Not a surprise then if morale in the city and by employees and citizens is so low then.

Weetha--I watched the video. Detroit is beyond hope at this point. However, I am a law and order person. Businesses must follow the laws and ordinances. There is no reason under the sun why a business can not be compliant. If they don't have the money to operate within the law, then they shouldn't.
