REPORT #: ADMIN .7-86 FILE #:
SUBJECT:
Redeployment of the responsibilities for enforcement and policing
of the Town of Newcastle Sign By-Law, Pool/Fence By-law and
Property Standards By-Law to the By-Law Enforcement Officer
RECOMMENDATIONS:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and Administration
Committee recommend to Council the following:
1 . That Administrator's report ADMIN. 37 - 86 be received;
2. That the attached by-law amendments dealing with swimming pools,
fences and property standards be adopted; and
3. That the By-Law transferring enforcement of the sign by-law
to the By-Law Enforcement Officer be given first reading
and staff thereafter be authorized to provide public notice
and present the by-law to Council after the appropriate
fourteen day notice period has expired; and
4. That the Members of the Property Standards Committee be advised
of Council 's actions with respect to the re-assignment of
Property Standards enforcement to the By,-law Enforcement Officer.
BACKGROUND AND COMMENT:
At the April 28th 1986 Council meeting, Council approved the
re-assignment of the responsibility for enforcement and policing
of the Town of Newcastle Sign By-Law, Pool/Fence By-Law and
Property Standards By-Law to the By-Law Enforcement Officer.
In order to effect this transfer it is necessary that appropriate
amendments be introduced to the affected by-laws. These amendments
ADMIN. 37 - 86 -2-
have been attached for Council 's consideration. It should be noted that
under the provisions of the Sign By-Law, there is a notice period
requiring a minimum of fourteen days prior notice to any amending by-law.
As such, it is being recommended that Council only give first reading
to the by-law which would amend the Sign By-Law, and thereafter staff
will make the necessary arrangements for notices and subsequently
present the by-law for a second and third reading after any notice
period has expired.
The matter of change in remuneration level concurrent with
any re-adjustment in duties is currently under examination.
It is hoped that a report on this matter will be presented prior to
the end of May.
Respectfully submitted,
David S. Johnston, M.C.I.P. ,
Chief Administrative Officer
