166 Building Code Violations Ord. No. 0-27-89 City Manager Leslie Keane reported on a proposed urgency ordinance and resolution which will establish a process and fees for building re -in- spections, which arise from inferior workmanship requiring numerous in- spections and re -inspections in order to establish Code compliance. Ms. Keane continued when workmanship problems are not related to Code _ violations, the City has limited legal ability to assist homeowners recover damages or to assure repairs. The City can, however, increase the number and levels of inspections performed, adopt fees for re-inspec tions, file complaints with appropriate regulatory agencies and require additional safeguards on new development. Ms. Keane said Staff is proposing that the Council authorize Staff to file a formal complaint against Nordic Development Company with the Contractors' State License Board, adopt Urgency Ordinance No. 0-27-89, establishing a process for building re -inspections, and approve Resolu- tion No. R-163-89, establishing fees on an hourly basis. Ms. Keane concluded in addition to these actions, Staff will be review- ing the subdivision agreements associated with Paradise Hills and other tracts within the City, and would propose to take all appropriate actions allowed by these agreements to assure performance. Mr. Robert Sparks, 3029 Prado Lane, stated he would like the Petition that was submitted with the residents' letter, dated December 8, 19899 to be entered into the City's records. Mr. Sparks said there were ap- proximately 34 names on the Petition. Mrs. Brenda Procel, 3035 Prado Lane, also spoke to the Council with re- gard to her residence in the Paradise Hills tract, the poor workmanship and condition of her home, and the many problems that exist in their - tract. After additional discussion between residents and Staff, moved by Councilwoman Cisneros, seconded by Councilman Rios, to waive full read- ing and adopt Ordinance No. 0-27-89. Upon Roll Call, the Vote was unanimous.
