(KNZA)--A Hiawatha resident is urging the city to step up its code enforcement efforts.
Richard Tesoriero addressed the City Commission Monday evening.
Tesoriero, who moved back to the community several years ago, said the perception is the city doesn't seem to have a lot of rules.
He said the city needs to get on top of the code violations in town, which he believes take too long to address. Tesoriero said residents he has talked to agree.
He suggested the Commission look at hiring some temporary help for Code Enforcement Officer Dave Wilson.
Wilson, who is part-time, currently works 20 hours a week. City Administrator Mike Nichols said he has included funding in the proposed 2021 budget that would allow Wilson to work 30 hours a week.
