the Committee and that she had appointed eight people to
serve on the committee, as follows: Susan Lewis, Jane
Witzka, Theo Mitchelson, Peter Sapia, Tim Reed, Fred
DeSapio, John Meserve, and Roger Kjar. She indicated the
committee would be named the "Code Enforcement Review
Committee." This will be a working committee and Mr. Borno
will set the rules, she explained. Meetings would last not
longer than one hour and members would be asked to take
assignments and come back to the next meeting with a report.
She invited other people to come and observe and assist the
committee. The goal of the committee would be to come back
to the commission with a recommendation.
She indicated the committee would determine if any problems
existed with reference to code enforcement procedures,
indicate problems, review and compare legislative solutions
used by other cities to solve problems in similar areas, and
list solutions which clearly existed in the city's own code
of ordinances. She indicated the committee would give
additional recommendations by July 1, 1995
Mayor Fletcher accepted Commissioner Shaughnessy's report
and he appointed the committee, as recommended.
Commissioner Weiss felt problems had not been identified.
He felt the city had a few problems but that the Code
Enforcement Board was capable of handling the problems using
the procedures that were in place.

if there was a problem with rental property and owner
occupied property. She indicated it was the intent of the
Board to assist the Code Enforcement Board, and if it was
determined there were no problems the matter would be
dropped.
