A concerted effort to enforce property <br />maintenance codes has proven-to be a key factor in achieving the stated goal. The <br />addition of one Code Enforcement Officer will provide the resources to provide dedicated <br />enforcement of property maintenance codes in the Redevelopment Area. This position <br />will allow current Code Enforcement Officers to focus on other areas of the city. The net <br />effect will be a return to proactive code enforcement in the Redevelopment Area and <br />other areas of the city. Funding is provided by a companion budget option which <br />proposes to reduce Redevelopment Agency (RDA) funding of Planning staffby <br />$135,000. The $135,000 is shifted to the city General Fund. The net savings to the RDA <br />budget from the two options is $41,884. <br />
