WATCH: Town Council Work Session – Property Maintenance Code update
At the December 3, 2018 work session, Town Council discussed the what else will be needed to implement the recentlty adopted Property Maintenance Code.
Taken from the summary from the agenda (download here) :
Adoption of the Virginia Maintenance Code was the first necessary step in order to implement a property maintenance program within the Town. As described within this new ordinance of the Town Code, and as required by the Virginia Maintenance Code, enforcement of the new maintenance code ordinances requires the Town to appoint a Maintenance Code Official and Board of Appeals. Below is the simplified language from Town Code 9-200.B. and C that describes these requirements.
B. The Town Manager shall appoint a Maintenance Code Official to administer and enforce the Virginia Maintenance Code. The Maintenance Code Official shall meet the required qualifications, certification requirements, and training requirements of the Maintenance Code. All codes, policies and procedures shall be made available for the public to view and/or obtain copies from the office of the Maintenance Code Official during established normal business hours.
C. The Town shall appoint a Board of Appeals to consider all appeals that may arise from the provisions of this Article. Such Board of Appeals shall be established under the criteria found within Chapter 9, Section 100, Subsection E. Alternatively, the Town may elect to use the Board of Appeals used by another county or municipality, or with some other agency, provided that an agreement is entered into with the appropriate local government board, or an approved state agency
