Of these 67 <br /> percent were for CDBG eligible residential violations. Community Preservation utilizes CDBG funds to offset the salary <br /> and benefit costs for seven inspectors and one office assistant. Most, if not all of these positions would be eliminated if <br /> the Planning and Building Agency were to no longer receive CDBG funding. The City Council has recently reinstituted <br /> the Neighborhood Improvement Community Enforcement committee (NICE) which historically has promoted community <br /> involvement in code enforcement activities however there are no other known programs in the community which <br /> address these issues. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> i <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 3 <br /> <br /> 75B-16 <br />
