Currently they are 1,320 open permits. Of the open permits, 178 are greater than two years old,
<br />198 are one to two years old, and 278 permits are less than one year old. The remaining 666
<br />open permits are various construction permits (electrical, mechanical, plumbing, water, sewer,
<br />fire, sign, and zoning). Staff is continuously working to close out old permits.. With the
<br />addition of a residential building inspector/code enforcement officer in 2005, the City has
<br />reduced the percentage of open permits from previous years and progress is continuing to be
<br />made.
<br />Code Enforcement
<br />There were a total of 191 code enforcement cases involving 255 issues in 2007. Of those cases,
<br />117 were completed and closed while 74 are pending cases. The majority of the pending cases
<br />are unresolved parking issues, container screening, and situations that require ongoing
<br />monitoring and are therefore not considered closed. Most complaints are effectively handled in
<br />person or via telephone. The number of issues is down from 325 in 2006.
<br />The majority of complaints were related to the improper storage of outdoor equipment, RVs,
<br />other vehicles, and refuse; illegal signs; and, various health/safety issues. Over the course of a
<br />year, however, the City received a myriad of complaints, including:
<br />o Too many vehicles parked on a driveway;
<br />o Inoperable/junk vehicle storage;
