A . It is recommended that the Ordinance Officer make a concerted effort to use aids in pursuing the written parts of his work , to allow him more time for the duties unique to his position . Examples : • 1 . Use of form letters to inform residents of : ( a ) potential ordinance violations ( b ) follow up on enforcement ( c ) communications between the Ordinance Officer and the various boards working for the Town 2 . Use of the secretarial services presently provided at the Town Hall , in lieu of the " do it yourself " approach . B . It is recommended that the Ordinance Officer provide equal enforcement effort on all Town ordinances as well as equal enforcement approaches throughout the Town . C . It is recommended that a determination of the degree of responsibility the position of Ordinance Officer should provide to the Planning Board and other boards be made , specifically in regard to the enforcement of Subdivision Rules and Regulations , aided by Health Department notifications . TOWN OF LANSING g � Plannin Board Post Office Box 186 Lansing , New York 14882 0 Please reply to: D . It is recommended that the Ordinance Officer take more initiative for identification of possible ordinance viola - tions and indicate these violations to the relevant boards or bodies concerned , as well as the offenders . E . It is recommended that the Ordinance Officer leave the inter - pretation of the ordinances to those parties so charged with that responsibility , such as Town Attorney , Town Board , Planning Board in case of subdivision , and ultimately the Town Judge . F . It would be helpful if , on a routine basis , the Ordinance • Officer could give a synopsis of the Health Depart . notifications on new sewers and/or water systems implanted in the town to the Planning Board . G . It would seem sensible to combine those files relevant to both the Planning Board and the Ordinance Officer , rather than to maintain these files separate and duplicate . • • ott-*-C• • 41 •
