  • Amend Chronic Nuisance Property Code to address human trafficking, gun violence, and administrative challenges (amend Code Chapter 14B.60)

    Jan 27, 2026

    ·Portland, OR
    Proposal

    On January 27, 2026, Portland City Council amended Chapter 14B.60 of the Chronic Nuisance Property Code to address evolving public safety challenges, marking the first substantive update since 1997. The amendments expand the definition of nuisance activities to specifically include human trafficking and gun violence, extend the documentation timeframe from 30 to 90 days to address administrative resource constraints, and shift administrative responsibilities from the Chief of Police to the City Administrator. The ordinance acknowledges that crime patterns and nuisance activities have evolved significantly since the code's original adoption and that a narrower definition prevented the city from effectively addressing properties that common sense would identify as chronic nuisances.

  • Doylestown Township Board of Supervisors Budget Work Session September 2, 2025

    Sep 2, 2025

    ·Doylestown, PA
    Minutes

    During a Doylestown Township Board of Supervisors budget work session on September 2, 2025, the board discussed the Community Recreation Center project, which had been budgeted with a 3% contingency but experienced cost overruns addressed through change orders, with the USTA grant funds fully exhausted. A key discussion point centered on security camera installation for the courts, where Supervisor Nancy Santacecilia requested a cost estimate and further board deliberation before deferring the purchase, while Chief Zeigler noted the value of cameras and staff confirmed the township's use of a budget-friendly Rhombus camera system accessible to the Police Department. Director of Operations Dave Tomko identified that a 5% contingency would have been more appropriate for the project and reported that no additional changes to owner-supplied item spending were anticipated.
