ORDINANCES
140886 - Schmitt/Welper
that "an Ordinance deleting the Crime Property, Title 5, Chapter 5 and replacing
with the Chronic Nuisance Properties, Title 5, Chapter 5 in conjunction with
Chronic Nuisance Properties Ordinance", be received, placed on file, considered
and passed for the first time. Roll call vote -Ayes: Six. Motion carried.
Mr. Schmitt complimented Director Trelka on his work on this ordinance but noted
that constituents have requested that it be slowed down.
Mayor Clark noted that there will probably be more than one reading of this
ordinance before it is passed. There are two sides to this discussion and that
is the landlords and the neighborhood associations.
Dan Trelka, Director of Safety Services, gave an overview of the ordinance. He
noted that there has to be three valid calls for service and then there is a
forced dialogue between the City and the property owner. The Owner then needs to
provide a written abatement plan and if they do not they will be cited. The
ordinance is simplified to allow the officers to be able to implement the
program. It is not a tiered program. These are Police Department issues and they
will work with Code Enforcement so they are aware of what is being done at these
locations.
Mr. Schmitt asked if there could be an organized meeting inviting the groups to
have a dialogue.

the issue and to come up with a plan. He will leave it up to the Director if he
feels additional meetings are necessary.
