Often we have uh whereas co-compliance officers often have a challenging and demanding role and often do not receive recognition for the job that they do in improving living, working, and uh conditions for the residents and businesses of our local communities. Whereas the role of many code compliance officers has expanded in recent years with the increased number of foreclosures and abandoned homes and communities and impacted uh economically. Whereas code compliance officers are dedicated and highly qualified professionals who share the goals of preventing neighborhood deterioration, enhancing and ensuring safety, preserving property values through knowledge and application of housing, zoning, and nuisance codes and ordinances, and whereas code compliance officers often have a highly visible role in their communities and regularly interact with a variety of state officials, county officials, first responders, legislative boards, commissions, agencies, and bodies, whereas code compliance officers are often called upon to provide quality customer service and excellence to residents and businesses of the communities in which they serve. Whereas the city of Casterbury wants to recognize and honor code compliance officers and professionals all across the United States and bring awareness to the importance of code compliance to communities in the United States.
