any of you- The city council, in their great wisdom, apparently has determined that it is a good policy for the city to publicly disclose the names of complaintants for city code violations, to the violator.
I have argued this is bad public policy, and a safety concern, as this may lead to retaliation of varying degrees, and create neighborhood conflict.
It may as well expose the city to liability.
As an officer, what is your opinion on the matter. SOund like a good idea to let neighbors know who is filing code violations against who?
