Code Enforcement Generating Revenue
An excerpt from the AD HOC Committee Report May 2006- If anyone is interested in seeing the whole report I'll post it. This report concerns all of us and should be public information.And now it is!By the way isn't there people named in the RICO lawsuits serving on this committee?
Role of revenue generation in code enforcement: Several city staff said they perceived that
city officials have increased their focus on the revenue-generating capacity of code
enforcement activities, such as rental registration, vacant building fees, and excessive
consumption. They expressed concern that their work was more valued as revenue generation
than for the other benefits their work provides.
Budget reports on fees generated by code enforcement show they do not make up a significant portion of the budget. It would help staff to understand the rationale for the fees, and the role fees play in their budget. Code enforcement officials should clarify where fee-generating work stands in relation to other work, in order to address possible concerns that activities that raise revenue are more highly valued than those that do not.
Bob> So they don't add significantly to the budget. Bid deal! They still have the perception that this is their role!!!!

Then why did Andy Dawkins make such a big deal about these fees. He had a big poster to mark the occassion when it would reach his intended goal. I think it's a ploy to use in the lawsuit defense.
The real revenue for the City is generated when these homes property owners are forced into full code compliance and the property taxs are raised.
If they weren't just picking on landlords they could go door to door and find violations on most every old home in the City.
They must have gotten some money from (er no maybe just Magner and his buddies did) the windows and fixtures and anything else that would be of some value from 14 Jessamine before it was torn down. They must have studied what could be quickly removed from the start of this thing. They sure were not there when the backhoe came and crashed it through the building. Thieves, all of them!!!
How would you like a job where you could skim big gobs of fat right off the top and nobody at the factory says anything.
Hello Magner, I'm calling you a theif could you respond.
