Century To Discuss The Return Of Code Enforcement
August 28, 2008
Code enforcement could be returning to Century. The Century Town Council is slated to discuss that possibility at a council workshop at 9:00 this morning at town hall.
The town severed an agreement with Escambia County to provide code enforcement in Century back last year. Under that agreement, the county’s code enforcement officers worked Century and wrote citations that were turned over to the town for abatement. The services were provided by the county at no charge to Century.
The arrangement came under fire, with allegations that the county’s officers provided selective enforcement, citing some people but no others.
The workshop meeting at 9:00 this morning at the Century Town Hall is open to the public.
