Closed Cases.
Winter has become the time when Code Enforcement has time to review all of the open files. This has especially be the case these past few years. Beginning in October 2009, the Plan Commission began a full review of all of the open files in the cabinets, including some dating back to 2000.
In January and February 2010, the Plan Commission was able to close 78 open files. During the same period in 2009, a total of 271 open files were closed.
Reforms are underway that will reduce the length of time that complaints are open to no more than 90 days. We are pleased to note that since January 2009, the Plan Commission has closed more cases than it received in 10 of the 14 months. The 4 months we opened more cases than we closed were March (18), May (7), June (7), & September (3).
