During the public-comment period on Dec. 8, several residents asked council to follow up on enforcement and inspection matters.

Martin Reinbold asked council to revisit the parking-permit program after a prior appearance, saying his camper was removed from private property and that he was told returning it could jeopardize others’ permits. He asked the council to consider oversight of program enforcement.

A second commenter using the name 'Big K, Montana' (Spitzmacher) described a continuing grievance involving county properties, personnel and facilities; he said he had documentation but did not provide full details in the hearing.

Steve Miller, a Lower Miller Creek resident, recounted repeated basement flooding in a house built in 2021 and said excavation found "there was no footer drain," a $150 drainage pipe that should have been installed. Miller said the house did not pass final inspection and had no certificate of occupancy when he purchased it two years after construction. Council members suggested he follow up with the city building department and offered to provide contact information for staff to assist with follow-up.

Why it matters: These public comments raise questions about program enforcement and building-inspection follow-up, both of which implicate city permitting and code-enforcement processes. Councilors advised callers to share contact information with staff so departments can investigate and respond.

Next steps: Councilors encouraged the commenters to provide contact information to staff at the meeting and to follow up with the building department for case-specific resolution.
