The Department of Community Development as part of its 2009 Work Program determined it would be appropriate to conduct a review of City Codes affecting the physical condition and maintenance of all properties and improvements to older homes. In this effort, a Special Codes Review Committee has been assembled. This working committee consists of the Advisory Committee on Inspection Services members, a local realtor, a representative from the Winnebago Apartment Owners’ Association and a tenant-based representative.
This committee will conduct a review of:
- Nuisance Ordinances (chapter 17, Article IV) that apply to the physical condition of a property.
- The Minimum Housing Code (Chapter 16, Article II.)
- Consideration of possible new code provisions relating to homes predating the State's Uniform Dwelling Code (June 1, 1980.)
The first meeting was held Wednesday, February 4th. The review process involves:
- General review of Present Codes.
- Fact Finding - Identify different codes, approaches of other communities.
- Identify problems, opportunities, challenges.
- Determine outcomes, need for changes.
- Seeking public input.
- Refine recommendations for Council consideration.
It is hoped the refined recommendations will be presented to Council.
