and prosecution of the ordinance which so designated him.
C.Â
In every instance where an ordinance has not designated

not been appointed by the appointing authority, then the Code Enforcement
Officer shall have the primary responsibility for the enforcement
of such ordinances.
D.Â
Every enforcement officer not a sworn police officer,
who is designated as a specific enforcement officer as of the effective
