Wasco County and a number of municipalities within the county are exploring the possibility of sharing the costs to hire someone to deal with nuisance code violations. County Commissioner Steve Kramer explains code compliance officers from Wasco County and the City of The Dalles are overloaded with cases, and Dufur, Maupin, and Mosier can use some help dealing with nuisance issues. Kramer says Dufur Mayor Robert Wallace brought up the concept, and officials have met once to begin to explore the possibility of sharing costs for such a person. Whether it would be a part-time or full-time position has not been determined.
