Code Compliance: Board Response

Response says

The Board partly disagrees, citing Ordinance 9.02.070 confidentiality limits and support for clearer expectations and follow-up options.

Audit analysis

An ordinance provides a specific reason for limiting disclosures, but the partial position does not clearly identify which part of the reported lack of routine resolution updates is accepted or denied. Explaining confidentiality is not evidence of current update frequency.

Response says

The Board agrees, describing separate departmental portals and a possible shared landing page; it says a single phone number is infeasible.

Audit analysis

Agreement addresses the absence of central routing. Concrete portal and department distinctions explain the proposed alternative, but feasibility assertions lack an identified supporting record.

Response says

The Board agrees that no manual exists and says a Policies and Procedures Manual is being developed.

Audit analysis

Agreement and a specific development action directly address the finding. No draft, project record, or dated milestone is cited in this finding response.

Response says

The Board agrees and identifies the Assessor’s Megabyte system and Planning and Building’s TRAKiT system as opportunities for improved data flow and communication.

Audit analysis

Agreement covers the underused relationship and concrete system differences explain coordination opportunities. Named systems identify a checkable basis; integration benefits remain proposed, not verified.

Response says

The CIO and complaint-handling departments will create a shared landing page by December 31, 2026, with category-specific phone numbers rather than one countywide number.

Audit analysis

The response gives a deadline and owner for the webpage but declines the recommendation’s single-number component while using an overall future-implementation disposition. Both the promise and exception are retained.

Response says

The Code Enforcement Division will complete its Policies and Procedures Manual by February 1, 2027.

Audit analysis

The response identifies a specific deliverable, responsible division, and date. Development underway is not represented as verified completion.

Response says

Planning and Building and the Assessor’s Office will establish a working group by December 31, 2026, to improve information accuracy, communication, and potential system data flow.

Audit analysis

The disposition begins on page 3; page 4 supplies members, purpose, and deadline. Creation of the group is promised, not verified integration of the two systems.
