Memorandum of Understanding-Please Initial*
I have placed my initials in the box above indicating that I understand that our limited staff resources mean we cannot pursue enforcement action on all complaint and violation cases. However, on each case, on a time-available basis, the Department will conduct a reconnaissance level investigation by visiting the site, taking photos and making observations to the extent possible from public access points, (or from private property if invited by the owner). Following this investigation, we will decide whether further enforcement actions will be taken. As a general rule, only the most serious health and safety issues and environmental infractions will be pursued. We regret any inconvenience this may cause.
