Best Practices for an Effective Code Enforcement System

In a time of reduced budgets and increased blight it has never been more important for code enforcement management and field personnel to work effectively and efficiently. As those that manage or work closely with code enforcement understand, the variety of activities under their responsibility can help prevent properties from remaining vacant, keep neighborhoods livable, and even catalyze revitalization. While it's true that governments feel understaffed in the face of huge challenges, an understanding of how to develop market driven strategic code enforcement as well as performance-oriented goals and effective, concise policies and procedures, can ensure that you use your resources to make a visible and reportable difference in your community.

Through personal examples of successes (and failures) the presenters will explore the areas streamlining and updating procedures, goal setting a success tracking as well as methods to help replenish your budget and those that enhance or detract from your efforts.
