The City of Pasco Code Division strives to gain voluntary compliance through communication, outreach and education. Voluntary Compliance Agreements are used to provide up to 90 days for compliance with certain codes and situations. This may include issues such as landscaping and cases entailing corrective action which is large scale/high cost, with the understanding the property will be maintained free of any other code violations during the agreement period. As Pasco grows, the Code Division is working diligently to keep pace through occupational training. Staff members took part in several trainings and attended the Washington State Association of Code Enforcement’s 35th Annual Conference. Training sessions included Verbal Judo, Code Officer Safety, Emotional Intelligence for Proper Communication, Identifying Hoarding Disorders, and a Case Preparation and a Right of Entry - 4th Amendment refresher course. Code Enforcement Officer Contreras earned his Junk Vehicle Certification. CEO Contreras will be the second Junk Vehicle Inspector for the division. This certification is provided by Washington State Patrol. Junk Vehicle affidavits provide property owners a quicker route to lawfully removing abandoned vehicles from their property. This year, staff has conducted 15 Junk Vehicle Inspections to assist property owners in removing these attractive nuisances.
