[Amended 1-6-2003 by Ord. No. 01-03; 6-7-2021 by Ord. No. 15-21]
There shall be an agency known as the "Code
Enforcement Authority." The Authority shall consist of the Director
of Land Use or his or her designee, the Secretary to the Inland Wetlands
and Watercourses Agency, the Director of Health, the Chief Building
Official and the Fire Marshals for the three fire districts. The persons
serving in these positions shall be members of the Code Enforcement
Authority for so long as they hold such positions.
The purpose of the Authority is to provide coordination
of enforcement of all codes and regulations required by statute or
ordinance to be enforced by the Planning and Zoning Commission, Inland
Wetlands and Watercourses Agency, Health Department, the Building
Division of the Public Works Department and the Fire Marshals. The
Authority shall not interfere with the regular administrative enforcement
of regulations and codes resulting from the application for and issuing
of various permits. The concern of the Authority will be to prevent
willful violation of codes and regulations. The Authority shall assist
in resolution of code enforcement problems that cannot be handled
by officers authorized and responsible for enforcing the specific
regulations and codes through routine administrative procedures.
