SIGNED . Mayor ATTEST : Clerk APPR ED a o City Atorney OL A Camas Police Department ci MAO Date : 09 / 13 / 06 To : Lloyd. Halverson From , Don Chaney Subject © Code Compliance Officer Talking Points The Code Compliance Specialist position was vacated this past May . Shortly thereafter Council was briefed on the proposal to construct a job description which adds the animal control component . to the existing code enforcement responsibilities . At some point in the future we envision Camas will hire a second employee to conduct the full function ® At that time Camas will withdraw from the inter - local agreement with Washougal for animal control services . After significant research staff has formalized a new job description , Labor has agreed to the modifications and subsequently we have adopted the remodeled job description . Coming to Council in the next meeting regular agenda will be two ordinance changes formalizing these changes . T� oteworthy in the ordinances is . 1 . The position moved from Co.rrtmunity Development to the Police .Department to more easily prosecute violations requiring enforcement action . The PD has an established system of handlingr inves t i ga tingr supervising , and coordinating cases requiring prosecution with the City attorney ' s office , The Code Compliance Officer will still work closely with Comrnuni ty Development , Building and Public Works staff in the course of their duty . 2 . The position title is changed to Code Compliance ' Officer ` from ' Specialist ' . The title change aligns with what we .found to be the prevalent title in the industry . .3 . The position is specifically excluded from the LEOFF retirement system . 4 . A change to Chapter 2 . 12 requires ° ' all police employees pass a thorough .background examination , including polygraph or other lie detection examination , medical and physical examination in order to .be eligible to serve " . In 200 .E the state passed legislation requiring police officers to pass lie detector and psychological examinations to .be eligible for certifica tion .
