Regular City Council Meeting Monday,March 11,2013 Page 12 be applied to multi-family and business property inspections. Mr. Munson ad- vised that after this year's commercial inspections, they would return to residen- tial inspections, and attempt to alternate those inspection cycles to keep compli- ance in check. From his experience campaigning last fall before election, Acting Mayor Etten noted the complaints he'd received regarding their receipt of violation notices when they were in the process of performing their fall yard work from one week- end to the next. Acting Mayor Etten asked that staff be cognizant of those situa- tions and allow leeway for trailer storage and emptying. Mr. Kaufland assured Councilmembers and the public that staff was cognizant of those situations, and observed properties, generally giving people ten (10) days for remedy, since each inspection allowed staff to be in those neighborhoods for a three (3) week period. On a related noted, Councilmember McGehee opined that there were a number of inequities in current City Code that kept coming up for discussion, but without subsequent action (e.g. trailers stored on lots in front rather than back or side yards; boat and small trailers stored on residential lots; and large recreational ve- hicles as well). Mr. Munson advised that staff was aware of those inequities and would attempt to address them in the future. b.
