Franklin
County Commissioners have agreed to look at the costs of creating a
code enforcement officer position.
The
issue was raised by Commissioner Ricky Jones after the county was
asked to investigate a home on St. George Island with an unapproved
shed, deck and dock.
Because
of concerns the issue might require legal action, Commissioner Jones
asked if it wouldn't save the county money in the long run to have a
code enforcement officer instead of spending money on court fees.
The
need for a county code enforcement officer has been discussed
numerous times in the past, but the position has never been created.
The
problem has always been how to fund another county worker.
The
board, however, said the issue is worth a closer look and voted
unanimously to have the county coordinator investigate the costs of
creating a code enforcement position.
