PROGRESS & ACCOMPLISHMENTS
The Board has been aggressively attempting to upgrade city services and the overall operation of those services in order to expedite issues to satisfactory conclusions.
We are currently in the process of codification of City Codes, consolidating of, and elimination of outdated ones.
We are further refining our Village’s Policies & Procedures employee manuals in an effort to reduce and/or all together prevent inconsistencies in the practices of our Village staff in the execution of their sworn duties, thus promoting a more effective and harmonious approach to issues and concerns of our villagers. Above all we are engaged in auditing our fiscal responsibilities assuring better and concise financial stewardship. We are bringing our village operations in line with the mandated policies of SB5 and SB572 establishing our systems in accordance with and to State and other agencies, bringing Oakview into the 21st century. All three departments, Admin, Court and Police are engaged in identifying and making necessary adjustments and improvements to their daily operations, improving efficiency and overall service.
Board and Police Staff, have been actively involved in street repairs, and foliage removal of over run areas, doing all of the work themselves. Oakview, having no Public works Dept. engages the services to accomplish these task of Village staff and the Board members themselves.
CODE ENFORCEMENT
There has been a lot of questions geared towards the purpose of Code Enforcement as a whole and how it applies and impacts the citizens of Oakview in particular.
Code enforcement, first and foremost centers around mainly health & safety. Most codes are aimed at the prevention and control of that which can and has arisen from what we might call code violations. These concerns need to be addressed when lives are shared in any community, whether it be commercial, agricultural, or residential. Communities that are diverse regardless of the origins of those diversities have to maintain balance between the citizens with the understanding of cultural backgrounds, individual desires and goals, and the rights and freedoms of those same individuals. Thus it falls to the duly elected officials of Local, State, and Federal government bodies to formulate that balance. Within our village we are trying to implement standards and practices along those lines to answer the concerns that have been addressed to the Board and its members.
Further, how issues are addressed by the Enforcement Officers needs to be understood as well. For each complaint there are a number of restraints that the Village representative has to consider in regards to answering complaints lodged with the Village centering on the rights of its citizens, both complainant and alleged violators. This must be accomplished with objectivity, logic, commonsense, all within Constitutional constraints.
So when it seems that the Village is not concern or ignoring the complaints, bear in mind just all that goes into, and what is involved.
Our Village Clerk is in the process of listing the steps involved in a code enforcement case, so as better to inform all parties as to how the system works. Upon its completion it will be emailed out to all our citizens .
