With a new code enforcement officer on staff at the Clinton Police Department, code enforcement is a high priority for city officials.

Tuesday night, a candidate for Mayor in the recent election addressed notices he has received on his property, and several other residents have been contacted as well. At Tuesday night's Clinton City Council meeting, Commissioner Dan Ballenger reinforced the impact on the entire community.

Clinton Police Chief Ben Lowers says code enforcement is going to be a top priority going forward.

On the WHOW Morning Show Wednesday following the Clinton City Council meeting on Tuesday, City Administrator Tony Harris indicates this is something the City is very serious about, and you may be hearing from him, the Chief, or the new Code Enforcement officer.

While a point of emphasis in recent years, City officials are seeking to increase the focus on code enforcement.
