what the rules on the books are and what the rules on the books were made in 1973 or 1997. It doesn't matter we need to go back and we've been going through them making sure they are up to date and making sure that they're a true deterrent to breaking them.

Councilman Sauickie wanted to clarify this forum like Council President mentioned it is a council meeting and we are really here to make and adjust our local ordinances but it is a forum of course for everyone who wants to speak up. One of things we've heard over the last couple of months specifically was we need more coverage for Code Enforcement and it doesn't matter who is breaking the law, laws cannot be broken by anybody, you cannot just choose which ones you want to follow. He just wanted to be loud and clear for the residents hear you loud and clear asked Mr. Wall are we now going to have second shift coverage for code enforcement during the week and weekend coverage? BA Wall replied yes.

KEARY SMITH -69 E CONNECTICUT CONCOURS- Lives directly next door to 71 East Connecticut Concourse she asked Council if there's no CO on that home and it's being inhabited not by a tenant because no one is living there but there's a CO on the front door, are they are being fined? Ms. Smith wanted to know do you get fined daily if you're inhabiting a property with no CO.

Attorney Greg McGuckin said we have requested the court to prohibit any use of the property. The Court has denied that request as of now.

Ms. Smith’s second question was regarding the court and if there is a way to get them into court?

Ms. Smith stated she is getting tired, there are cars parked up and down the street, she couldn't pull out of her driveway the other day and sometimes she cannot pull in her driveway because of people walking that won't allow her to because they are walking to the house.

Ms. Smith stated that 50 men and boys were walking out of that house. She doesn't know what has to be done but something needs to be done.

Attorney Greg McGuckin stated he cannot speak to the Municipal Court summonses because he is not handling those - they are by the Municipal Court. As far as the Superior Court case, they are doing an expedited discovery schedule and we are processing in that regard. He cannot recall the time table but it is an expedited discovery schedule; he wants to say 60 days or so and we should be getting closer.

Ms. Smith stated they did not show up at the last court appearances.

Jeff Purpuro Zoning Officer stated as it pertains to the summons as for 71 East Connecticut Concourse there were two summonses written and were scheduled to go to trial and he has yet to hear from the court when that trial date’s going to be. The 3rd summons was written because he did visit the property and did write a new violation and a new summons was scheduled to be in court. He believes it was September 9th; there was a failure to appear so the court gives a little bit of latitude to a first time summons if they do not appear. It is scheduled to be back in court but he doesn’t have the exact date. No discovery has been requested on the third summons.

As it pertains to the 3 other properties in town that I have summonses on again two of the three that are remaining. He has yet been to have been requested to produce this discovery because he doesn't know what their angle is; when he gets a court date we appear and we try to satisfy and look for compliance.

Councilman Sauickie asked Mr. Purpuro according to that resident it sounds like there's still folks who are still occupying that house is that permitted right now or should they no longer be entering that home.

Jeff Purpuro stated he does not deal with the CO’s, only the land use part and he cannot speak on the CO process - that’s the housing department.
