The San Joaquin County Civil Grand Jury took issue back in June with the way that the City of Lathrop handles its code enforcement operation. And Lathrop city staff is now recommending that the council respectfully disagree with the recommendations of the grand jury in writing in response to claims that the city doesn’t have an ethics policy for its elected officials, that the city has taken limited code enforcement action to thwart illegal truck parking, that the city doesn’t have a budgeted position for code enforcement and that the city doesn’t have any appeals process for those who have been cited for code enforcement violations.
