City Council
FROM: Jack Pace, Community Development Director
BY: Kathy Stetson, Code Enforcement Officer
DATE: January 21, 2015
SUBJECT: Code Enforcement LEAN
ISSUE
Code Enforcement participated in an in-depth LEAN analysis of our work processes.
BACKGROUND
LEAN is both a process and a "way of life." The first steps involve understanding how we
currently perform our tasks. The analysis phase looks for inefficiencies and devises alternative
ways of accomplishing the task in less time without sacrificing quality. The implementation
phase allows us to test drive our new processes with an eye to continuous improvement and
fine-tuning.
Code Enforcement is a key player in the Mayor and Council's efforts toward improving our
residential neighborhoods. We need to be sure we are working efficiently to serve the
community and accomplish this task at the highest level.
DISCUSSION
Our presentation to the City Council will review what we have learned and the methods to
improve processes in all aspects of Code Enforcement.
