<br /> 65-58 - "In ~n attempt to more effectively enforce the Minimum Housing Code and to obtain better
<br />results from this Code, we have adopted certain administrative procedures which we believe will be of benefit to
<br />this Code enforcement program.
<br /> We are tentatively selecting areas for systematic Code enforcement in conjunction with the
<br />Workable Program Coordination Committee and the Citizens Advisory Committee.
<br /> Once an area is s~lected, we are seeking assistance from the Civic Leagues in the area along with
<br />active participati6n'~on the part of the area residents.
<br /> We are preparing maps of the area showing its physical characteristics, assigning block numbers to
<br />facilitate the citizens participation, and provide.inspection routes for the tlousing Inspectors.
<br /> Attached hereto is a copy of the program m~D that is being presented to every dwelling unit within
<br />the area to be inspected. This map shows the area of Brighton which is now being inspected under this program.
<br /> The City Council will be kept advised as to the progress of this program in the interest of
<br />improving public relations. This further includes an invitation to any group in the City to request a speaker from
<br />the City to discuss this program.
<br /> This is submitted for the information of the City Council and with the hope that this ~rocedure
<br />will produce more effective results from enforcement of the Hinimum Housing Code."
