Property Maintenance Task Force

Mission Statement

What is a Property Maintenance Task Force and why have one in your community?

 

A ground-breaking article published in 1982 by James Q. Wilson and George L. Kelling entitled "Broken Windows" in which the authors posited that to deal successfully with quality of life problems, those problems should be addressed when they are small:

 

If a window in a building is broken and is left unrepaired; all the rest of the windows will soon be broken. This is as true in nice neighborhoods as in run-down ones. Window-breaking does not necessarily occur on a large scale because some areas are inhabited by determined window-breakers whereas others are populated by window-lovers; rather, one unrepaired broken window is a signal that no one cares, and so breaking more windows costs nothing.

 

 

The Property Maintenance Task Force was created in April 2008.  The Task Force works with the Mayor and Common Council to identify problem properties and works on implementing corrective measures to eliminate them.  The committee members are appointed by the Mayor.

 

The Property Maintenance Task Force meets on the third Wednesday of the month at 6PM in the Council Chambers.
