The Select Board appreciates the concerns and frustrations of the proponent of this article regarding Code Enforcement.  It is important to acknowledge both such frustrations but also that enforcement and collection on enforcement actions often requires significant time and resources. Even more significantly, the Board is concerned about creating a position of this nature through a Town bylaw. The Manager is empowered and charged under the Town Manager Act with creating and dissolving positions and departments. If there are insufficient resources, the Manager addresses advance staffing needs and concerns through the budget process whenever possible, rather than having Town Meeting create new positions via bylaw, or re-assign duties and then fund such positions in a subsequent Town Meeting Cycle. Still further, some members expressed concern about creating a new position or office with an operating override on the horizon.
