IV. AGHA FORUM-
A. Ricky Fletcher, City of Aurora Code Enforcement Officer gave a presentation regarding her duties and how they pertain to our HOA. It is her job to respond to and investigate complaints made about city code violations. Citizens should use ACCESS AURORA to file complaints which may be made anonymously. The city has 3 days to act on a complaint and they will call the person who files a complaint if they leave a return phone number. Typically, a home found in violation is given 10 days to remedy the situation and if not the city will take action as necessary. There is a large increase in complaints due to the rising number of foreclosure. This is a high risk job and the police department assists the enforcement officer in many situations. Her phone # is 303-739-7864.
B. Quink Arlt said the xeriscape grant application has been completed and is due next week.
