Shoreline Planning Commission |
City Hall Council Chambers, 17500 Midvale Ave N 98133.
Public hearing: Abatement Development Code Amendment
The City of Shoreline is collecting more money than it needs for abatement. At the end of 2016, the abatement fund contained $168,000. The City spends $27,000 a year.
It would be beneficial to the code enforcement program to broaden the ability to use these funds to include more than just abatement.
Staff recommends broadening the use of the civil penalties collected and abatement funds to include other activities to support the code enforcement program.
These activities could include education, additional inspection, hiring of specialized resources (ex. hiring of noise expert), training (ex. how to use a sound level meter) and outside legal assistance in addition to abatement activities.
