Citizen Requests and Code Enforcement

The City of Kearney has made a concerted effort over the last three years to gain input from citizens.  We began in 2008 with Access Kearney.  This service allows citizens to report issues regarding code enforcement - such as property maintenance, abandoned vehicles, and loose dogs - through a variety of methods.  Citizens can call the code enforcement office, drop by City Hall, write a letter or email, or use the Access Kearney link on our website to report issues.  The code enforcement office will create a case, and for the first time, citizens can check the status of their request.  Citizens also have the opportunity to submit anonymously.   We feel this has been a success: over 1688 cases were submitted in 2010, and currently 97% have been resolved.
