Regular Meeting City Manager Department
The Office of the City Attorney and the Office of the City Clerk requests that the City
Commission receive information related to the revised Code Enforcement Board Agenda
format, which we hope to become effective in August 2014.
SYNOPSIS:
Recently, the Office of the City Attorney advised the Office of the City Clerk that the
current Code Enforcement Board Agenda should be revised to follow State Statutes only, as
opposed to City guidelines for Agendas; and the Mayor and City Commission are being
informed of this, through this Informational Agenda Item.
CONSIDERATIONS:
As the Mayor and City Commission are aware, up until now, all of the City's Boards and
Committees' Agendas follow the same format as City Commission Agendas to maintain
consistency and to make it easy for all individuals to follow.
The Office of the City Clerk was recently advised by the Office of the City Attorney that
the Code Enforcement Board Agenda(s) needs to be revised going forward, as the Code
Enforcement Board is different than the City Commission and our other Boards and
Committees in that it needs to adhere just to Florida Statutes, as opposed to City rules and
procedures.
Therefore, the Office of the City Attorney noted that the following sections of current Code
Enforcement Agenda should not be on future Code Enforcement Board Agendas and will be
omitted going forward:
Informational 201 PAGE 1 OF 3 - July 28, 2014
• AWARDS AND PRESENTATIONS
• PUBLIC INPUT (first opportunity)
• REPORTS
• PUBLIC INPUT (Second opportunity)
Please note that during Code Enforcement Board Meetings, there currently is a section
when anyone who wishes to give testimony about a property or parcel on any of the Cases,
is sworn in, and then when a Case is brought forward for discussion, anyone who has been
sworn in, will be able to offer testimony, and this will still remain on Code Enforcement
Agendas.
Furthermore, to try to follow the basic numbering system currently used for all Agendas, we
will just modify the Code Enforcement Board Agendas in the following manner: and
beginning with the August Code Enforcement Agenda, the applicable Agenda Items will be
renumbered as follows:
CALL TO ORDER
100 - INFORMATIONAL AGENDA
200 - CONSENT AGENDA
300 - PUBLIC HEARINGS AGENDA - CONTINUED CASES
400 - PUBLIC HEARINGS - REPEAT CASES
500 - PUBLIC HEARINGS - NEW CASES
600 - NON - COMPLIANCE CASES
700 - REGULAR AGENDA
