Res. # By-Law # MEETING: General Purpose and Administration Committee DATE: Tuesday, May 22, 1990 REPORT #: PD-186 -90 FILE #: SECT: BY-LAW ENFORCEMENT MONTHLY REPORT FOR APRIL 1990 RECOMMENDATIONS: It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration Committee recommend to Council the following: 1. THAT Report PD-186 -90 be received; and REPORT: 1. 1 The attached chart indicates statistical information pertaining to By-law Enforcement activities for the month of April and is provided herein for the information of Committee and Council. 1.2 In addition to the statistical report staff would like to highlight the following matters for Committee information. 1 . 3 With respect to animals running at large in Burketon Station, the Director has written to every home owner in Burketon Station requesting their co-operation to keep their dogs on leash within private properties . Animal Control Officers have been patrolling the area on a regular basis including Friday evening and Saturday. Once the additional vehicle is in place staff will be stepping up on patrols for other outlying communities as well. � 99 U REPORT NO: PD-186-90 PAGE 2 1. 4 There has been a significant increase in violation of the Property Standards By-law, including illegal dumping on private properties. Staff is addressing these problems as expeditiously as possible. 1.5 The appearance of the industrial parks has been an ongoing concern and it is imperative that the owners of these industrial operations upkeep their properties so that the Town can project a more positive image to businesses seeking to locate in this Town. To this end the By-law Enforcement staff will be visiting the industrial parks and seek the co-operation of the industries . 1. 6 The Town's Property Standards By-law is outdated and is currently being revised. Once we have the input from the Town's solicitor we will be bringing forth an amending by-law for Council's consideration. 1. 7 There has been a proliferation of signs erected on Town road allowance, this is particularly evident during weekends . At present the limitation of staff resources has made it rather difficult to carry out By-law Enforcement on weekends . Notwithstanding, staff have undertaken all necessary actions to have the illegal signs removed including removal of signs located on Town's road allowance by Public Works staff.
