Discussion Item
Building Commissioner – enforcement
Chair Cheryl Powell explains how the form that was created previously has worked in the past.
Laura Cronin, problem is that we can’t submit any complaint. Public knows that HHDC cannot enforce. Suggests identify areas
now. Suggests designate infractions already that are being done.
Kevin Matthews, should be a process. We are not enforcement.

Jack Kay, preexisting and non conforming we don’t have a say about. Fine line here.
Discussion regarding enforcement.
