The revenue generated the past fiscal year has returned to normal. After business returning to normal coming out of the pandemic, our fees are rebounding and climbing. Our office prioritizes the “People” of Hollis. We are here to be a resource to the community and will continue to take a “cohesive” approach and partner with residents on their projects. We will strive to be the most sought out resource in the Community as we believe helping people and serving the public is a core value that we prioritize every day as we serve this great little community. • The Code Enforcement Officer attended and actively participated in Planning Board meetings for Use Permits, Site Plan Reviews, and Subdivision Applications. • The Code Enforcement Officer attended and actively participated in Board of Appeal meetings. • The Code Enforcement Officer attended required continued certification classes in the Maine Uniform Building and Energy Codes and Standards, internal plumbing, subsurface systems, land use, shore land zoning, legal issues, and other areas required for continual certification; involving approximately 90 hours of classes and training exercises. • The Code Enforcement Officer has investigated numerous complaints and ordinance violations such as illegal apartments, violations of the State Junk Yard Laws, unsafe buildings, etc.
