Create new appeals board to review building code decisions

Police & Community SafetyGovernanceOrdinance

In Plain English

The city currently has no formal way for property owners to challenge building department decisions or fines. This law creates a 5-member appeals board where residents can contest rulings about permits, violations, or penalties. If approved, property owners get an independent review process instead of only dealing directly with city staff.
