"Historically, housing and environmental code related summonses were first served by the Police Department. Around 1990, Sheriff Waters volunteered to serve summonses for the Department of Environmental Services as well as all summonses issued by the City of Portsmouth. Last fall, the Sheriff indicated the volume was more than he could handle, but agreed to continue service for the Department of Environmental Services until April 1, 1996. Since the administrative hearing process was instituted by the Department of Environmental Services in January, the number of summonses from that Department has dropped significantly. It is anticipated that the nun~ber will continue to drop, and therefore,, the Director of Environmental Services believes that her Department will be able to handle the serving of these summonses. Also, as information, the cities of Norfolk and Virginia Beach provide for summonses to be served by code inspectors and have found this approach to work well. The attached ordinance provides for certain staff of Department of Environmental Services the right to serve summonses. I recommend adoption of this ordinance." the Motion by Mr. Clemons, and seconded by Mr. Pitts, adopt the following ordinance, and was adopted by the following vote: to "AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND CHAPTER 17 OF THE CODE OF THE cITY OF PORTSMOUTH, VIRGINIA (1988) BY ADDING THERETO SECTIONS 17-29 ~ 17-30, PERTAINING TO HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT."
