CODE OFFICERS' APPRECIATION WEEK |
|
This week we celebrated Code Officers’ Appreciation Week from June 5-9, 2023. In honor of recognizing our team of outstanding professional Code Officers, a proclamation will be presented at the City Commission meeting on Tuesday, June 20, 2023.
Code Officers are a team of professionals who are certified by the Florida Association of Code Enforcement. They are dedicated, well-trained, and highly responsible individuals who take their jobs seriously and are proud of their community and the local government they serve. The officers provide for the safety, health, and welfare of the residents in our community through education and enforcement of the city's building, land use, housing, environment, and other codes of ordinances. They make great efforts to provide quality customer service to the public for the betterment of the community. Code Officers are often not credited for their job to improve our neighborhoods, even after code compliance has been accomplished due to their efforts and expertise.
Please take a moment to recognize our excellent team promoting Largo community standards and the support team who assist them!
