6. Code Enforcement Report
Jesse Jayne shared that he has been very busy. He sent three letters to residents that need to clean-up their properties. He stated that he has six fire inspections coming up. There are thirteen total businesses in the Town that require inspections. Jayne stated that the other Towns charge for fire inspections. He suggested that the Board think about setting a fee for the inspections and require that it be done annually. The State requires it to be done every three years.
