At the regular monthly village meeting held on June 13, the Plandome Village Board of Trustees unanimously voted to adopt Local Law 2-2000 which allows the trustees to hire, at their discretion, "code enforcement officer(s)" if they feel there is a need for such a person. The underlying reason behind this law is the number of complaints the board has received relative to three areas of the village code that are continually violated. The first deals with the total disregard with which some animal owners treat the "pooper scooper" ordinance. Number two is the number of complaints as to the number of workers who either start too early in the morning or work too late in the afternoons and on weekends. The third area deals with irrigation. The village is currently in violation of the 99 million gallons of water per year cap that the Manhasset-Lakeville Water District has set for the village. FULL STORY
