Commissioner DeVine commented that he was told that the building official just signed the letters and did not generate the complaint. Commissioner Wilharber commented that someone had to tell someone else to produce the letters.

Commissioner DeVine indicated the Committee needed to look for a new member. Council Liaison Broussard Vickers asked if the Committee is allowed, in its bylaws, to remove someone for failure to attend meetings. Chairperson Hanson indicated that Mr. Michaels would need to come before Planning and Zoning to request a variance to leave the shed in its current location. Commissioner DeVine questioned how the City could make Mr. Michaels tear down his shed knowing he had received information from City Hall concerning the requirements for the shed. Council Liaison Broussard Vickers indicated that Staff had given him correct information based on the fact that the size of the shed did not require a permit and Staff was not aware of the location of the shed. Commissioner Wilharber asked if the City was going to apply its witch hunt to all properties in the City. Council Liaison Broussard Vickers indicated that anyone who gets a letter will assume they are part of a witch hunt. Commissioner Wilharber indicated he is curious as to how many other properties are out of compliance with City Code. Council Liaison Broussard Vickers indicated there may be a lot of them.
