Faith Backs Up On Code Enforcement Following Public Anger
FAITH, (SDNW) — Code enforcement in small towns is becoming a big issue in South Dakota. Fort Pierre has been looking at an outside agency to address nuisance properties, but the city’s Council has rejected that method twice. After a public outcry, the small city of Faith in remote northwestern South Dakota is taking steps to backtrack on a recent property code enforcement crackdown. The Faith City Council voted on July 16 to begin the process of rescinding an ordinance that enacted stricter property codes that could allow inspectors to enter scofflaw properties without permission. The council also went into executive session on July 16 to discuss whether to retain the private code enforcement agency the city hired in March to lead its code crackdown. No action was taken to change the contract, but further talks are expected. After a visit to Faith, the code enforcement officer wrote 53 warning letters to residents of Faith, population 300. Residents showed up en masse at a council meeting on July 2 to complain that the enforcement was an overreach and could lead to expensive repairs, even as some admitted that several properties need to be cleaned up. As reported by News Watch, code enforcement is a hot topic in many South Dakota communities where officials have a desire to maintain clean properties that can attract new residents and businesses, while not imposing expensive or intrusive repair demands on residents. At the July 16 meeting, Faith Mayor Glen Haines told the public that the city would revert to its previous set of property codes, which will be printed off and provided to all residents to follow. Faith resident Eddie Henschel testified that even if neighbors hate one another in the city, they should still be able to work together to make the town more beautiful.
