Now a bill supported by this group that is also known as PROPO, will before the County Council on Monday, June 15 at 7 PM. We expect a large turn out by this group and we need to counter their arguments to keep this bill from passing.
Zoning inspectors are enforcing the law of the County and anonymous sources are widely used by all law enforcement agencies, hotlines, etc. As the Deputy County Attorney said " Why would a serious law enforcement organization cut off information?"
All complaints, with and without names and addresses, are investigated by Inspections and Permits. If unfounded, the case is closed. If there is a violation an enforcement letter is sent.
Contact your Council Representative and come to the hearing next Monday!
Enforcement in our county has been less than effective in past years. Making it less likely that citizens file complaints weakens the enforcement effort.
On July 27, 2009 the County Council voted this bill down with a vote of 7 to 1.
