Code Compliance
Community Compliance Program Update
The City of Belle Isle is pleased to announce that Maureen McKuhen has joined the City as our new Community Compliance Officer (CCO), with an official start date of July 6, 2026.
As part of the City's ongoing commitment to providing excellent customer service and enhancing neighborhood quality of life, the Community Compliance Program has been restructured and transitioned to City Hall under the supervision of the City Manager and City Clerk. This organizational approach allows for closer coordination with the City's Building, Planning, Public Works, and Police functions while providing residents with a centralized point of contact for compliance-related concerns.
The Community Compliance Officer serves as a resource for residents, businesses, and property owners by helping them understand City codes and requirements, promoting voluntary compliance, and working collaboratively to address community concerns.
Program Focus Areas:
- Community engagement and customer service
- Educating residents on City codes, ordinances, and requirements
- Encouraging voluntary compliance whenever possible
- Coordinating with Police, Building Services, Planning, and Public Works
- Maintaining compliance records, notices, hearings, and case tracking
- Assisting residents with questions and code-related concerns
- Preserving neighborhood appearance, safety, and property values
While code enforcement remains an important responsibility, the City's goal is to provide a program that is approachable, service-oriented, and focused on working with residents to achieve compliance whenever possible. Through education, communication, and cooperation, the Community Compliance Program helps maintain the high quality of life that residents expect and enjoy in Belle Isle.
Please join us in welcoming Maureen McKuhen to the City of Belle Isle team. We look forward to her contributions as we continue to serve our community and strengthen our neighborhood compliance efforts.

This paragraph does not apply if the person designated as a code inspector believes that the violation presents an imminent threat to public health, safety, or welfare or imminent destruction of habitat or sensitive resources.”
