City of Dierks passes new code enforcement ordinance

The city of Dierks has adopted a new ordinance designed to help clean up the town.  At Monday’s city council meeting, aldermen voted six to nothing in favor of passing the multi-page ordinance.  Officials say there’s an increasing number of residences in town that are becoming unsightly.  Police Chief John McKee presented the ordinance for consideration by aldermen & will be responsible for enforcement.  Police will make contact with property owners who are deemed to be in violation of the ordinance & ask them to work on cleaning up their property.  If sufficient progress isn’t made on the clean up, Dierks residents will become subject to a fine ranging between two hundred and one thousand dollars.

The new ordinance replaces one that was initially created in the late 1990’s, but has been determined to unenforceable.
