Why should I stay at the DoubleTree by Hilton Sonoma Wine Country?

CACEO has set up a block of rooms at the DoubleTree by Hilton Sonoma Wine Country, reserved just for CACEO Annual Code Enforcement Seminar attendees. That’s how we got the great $159 room rate! The catch? If our attendees don’t book all the rooms we’ve set aside, CACEO has to pay the difference. When that happens, called “attrition,” the fees can be astronomical…and then have to increase prices for next year’s seminar to make up the difference.

Legal Weapons: An Overview of Cease & Desist, NOV, Cites and Much More – Matt Silver This class will provide a comprehensive overview of numerous code enforcement tools and legal remedies to enable local agencies to take enforcement action to deal with any type of violation. Cost recovery for all aspects of code enforcement will also be discussed.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly: Short Term Rentals - Maureen Stuhlman and Amy Poole. How The City of South Lake Tahoe has tried to keep pace with Short Term Rentals/Vacation Home Rentals (VHRs):

• City Council struggles with enacting code• Code Enforcement struggles with enforcing code• Neighborhood struggles with Transient Occupancy in Residential areas

Our City’s journey from 2003 requiring VHR Permits to present day controls and enforcement. What works, what residents expect, what has been tried to resolve the ongoing challenges.

Strategic Thinking for Code Enforcement Officers – Carl and Kerry SimpsonHave you ever had a case that was difficult to resolve? If your procedures manual did not help with chronic or strange cases, this is the class for you! With over 50 combined years of experience in Code Enforcement, the Simpsons offer an interactive session to release your creative code case resolution skills. This course will include creating collaborative partnerships, innovative ways to obtain and maintain compliance in difficult situations and so much more. Please come to this session ready to participate and think outside of the box.

What Is Substandard, What Is Dangerous, When Do We Vacate, and Under What Authority? – Leonard Powell Code enforcement officers often serve the role of housing inspectors and dangerous building inspectors. This course covers the basic legal and practical elements of enforcement actions related to substandard and dangerous building enforcement, providing guidance on how to classify a house or building as substandard or dangerous, the necessary procedures to be followed, and the associated remedies, including vacating the building. While referencing the law, this course focuses on the practical side, giving officers skills to provide fair and consistent enforcement. Finally, this course helps officers withstand potential challenges that seek to overturn their determination and more. This course covers routine enforcement practices, but does not cover building demolition.

Process Mapping and Decision Trees – Doug Leeper Far too often code enforcement agencies claim to be “understaffed,” when in reality, they are often a victim of unclear processes, inadequate enforcement remedies and “over processing” all of which leads to inefficiency and ineffectiveness. This course will examine, in detail, how to properly map and document current state processes, identify gaps/redundancies and non-value added steps. We will then address how to implement proposed improvements that can save time and increase capacity.

Legendary Communication – Ed Nichols Leadership and communication go hand in hand and great code enforcement officers realize that their ability to communicate ideas in the workplace, at home, and in the neighborhoods and communities that they serve is a critical component to their success. Attendees will learn to identify their own communication style and how it fits with the communication styles used by their families, coworkers, and the community they serve. Each officer and each code case require a slightly different style and approach. This workshop will teach code enforcement staff how to use their leadership to become highly effective communicators, the role communication plays in obtaining voluntary compliance in code cases, and communications impact on the culture of any governmental organization.

Basic Reports and Inspections/Interview Techniques – Dave Mason Learn how to take an organized step-by-step approach to documenting a case and writing reports. There are actually several functions or methods that may be used to properly document your case. Those methods consist of witness statements from interviews, research of permit records and title information, prior history of cases at the property, written notes that will ultimately be used in constructing a final report, photographs, and usually a diagram or plot plan. Consistency between each of these functions is paramount.

This class will acquaint Code Officers with the basic requirements for conducting and documenting interviews. Basic information relating to various aspects of interviewing will be provided to assist in developing your skills in performing interviews. The objectives of an interview are to develop credible information that is relevant and material to the investigation and to ascertain the interviewee’s version of the facts. Particular objectives will vary with the nature of the case and the facts or circumstances, which are being investigated.

This class will cover how to combine the documentation, statements, observations and other evidence into a clear, concise and complete written report. A properly written report and documented code case speaks for itself; meaning a third party with no prior knowledge of the case, can read the report and understand the essential aspects of the case.

Regulation and Enforcement of Marijuana Dispensary and Grow Facilities – Matt Silver This presentation will focus on local regulation of medical marijuana dispensaries and grow facilities, as well as enforcement of common municipal code provisions. We will also address state law and preemption issues, local zoning regulations, use of the California Building Standards Code and uniform codes, business licensing, investigations and pitfalls, local regulations permitting dispensaries and grow facilities, as well as available legal remedies. The presentation will also focus on legal updates since late 2011 and the cases being considered by the California Supreme Court.

Marketing Your Code Enforcement Department – Pete Roque Marketing is everything you do that creates a perception within your community and among peers of who you are, what you do and what you stand for. You can help create a particular perception about yourself in the minds of others by engaging in activities aligned with the attributes you want others to associate with you. Your reputation is attached to the work you do, the ideas you promote and the actions you take. This class will help attendees understand simple marketing concepts such as marketing their code enforcement program, believing in what they are selling, and understanding their target audience. This class will also view case studies in Code Enforcement branding.

Code Enforcement Policies and Procedures – Doug Leeper There are almost as many approaches to code enforcement as there are code enforcement agencies in America. Unfortunately there are often differences even within a single agency. The lack of proper written policies and procedures, as well as undocumented practices, can leave staff with the “we’ve always done it this way” response or worse yet subject them to “the policy according to who said it last.” This can result in inefficient and ineffective enforcement efforts and frustration and burnout within the ranks. This course builds upon the process mapping course and explores and explains the need for written policies and procedures and introduces methods for drafting clear and concise policies and procedures.

California Mold Update – Steve Zivolich This course is designed to help you inspect, diagnose, enforce,and abate mold under SB 655, California’s latest amendmentto State Housing Law that took in effect Jan. 1st 2016!

PC 832 Refresher Course – Leonard PowellThis class will cover the authority and limitations of arrest that affect California code enforcement officers, and will also touch on several related subjects within the California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training (P.O.S.T.) required training curriculum. This course is NOT a certification, re-certification, or requalifier for California P.O.S.T. PC 832 certification. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS with the intent of obtaining PC 832 certification or recertification, which is typically a multi-day class.

Self Defense for the C.E.O. – Art Miraflor Responding and surviving Physical Confrontations & Acts of AggressionThe purpose of this class is to demonstrate options should you encounter a negative or uncomfortable situation. This class will not be physical hands-on for attendees but will involve real live demonstrations of how to handle situations you might encounter on (or off) the job. Demonstrations will include how to handle weapons disarms, active shooter situations, aggressive animals as well as verbal self-defense options. Officer Safety is number one priority for this class, so come with your questions so we can share our years of experience and knowledge with you. This class is not a sport, but a way of life. You can’t afford not to take this class; your life depends on it.

“Shake & Bake” Temporary Meth Labs – Jason JonesMeth labs as you may know them are a thing of the past- sort of. The “old” method of “cooking” meth has given way to a new, faster method- the “Shake and Bake” lab. What once took a room full of paraphernalia, chemicals and multiple step processes involving actually heating up caustic and flammable mixtures has now been condensed to the size of a soda bottle. The shake and bake, or “one pot” labs combine several processes into one vessel and “cook” the meth by chemical reaction. This arrangement has created a new hazard for first responders because the vessels are not designed to hold the flammable chemicals or the pressures that build up inside the container during the process. Officers, firefighters and civilians have been severely injured and burned after being exposed to these labs that have either leaked or exploded after being handled.

1:20 p.m. – 4:20 p.m.C.E.R.T. Exam Prep – Sandra Johnson & Johnny Terfehr For those signed up for the certification exam on Friday morning, this review will help prepare you for the examination.

Lunch and Awards Presentation12:00 p.m. – 1:15 p.m.
