[Vision2020] City Staff & NSA

[Tom Hansen]

Or we can simply require the Moscow City Council to enforce the Moscow City
Zoning Code as written.

The code itself is sufficiently definitive.

Dearest Visionaids,

When it comes to all of this NSA boarding house business, I have to say that
I stand with Joan. The blame clearly falls on the city staff. They have the
responsibility to enforce our impeccable city Code; that burden should not
have to fall upon the citizens living either inside or outside of our
hallowed community.

Of course, doubters will say that there are not enough people employed by
the city to keep track of every last residence, but I say “Bosh!” The city
needs to stop turning a blind eye to its responsibilities and start
enforcing the Code. This has gone on far too long.  

What we need is the Moscow Zoning Code Enforcement Task Force. I propose
that all concerned citizens (Opyr, Woolf, Hansen, Lund, et al.) join hands
with the city in coming up with a questionnaire. But not just any
questionnaire, mind you; I’m talking about the mother of all questionnaires.
A questionnaire so broad in scope, every single violation of the Code could
be easily identified. (I’m thinking that something in the neighborhood of
196 pages should do it.) This would not only hold the city staffers
accountable, it would also drive our local Love-of-the-Coders absolutely
wild (in a good way – not wild like they are now).

It goes without saying that this would take a lot to implement, so the plan
should start out small. The questionnaire should be sent out to a random
sampling of roughly 200 Moscow households entirely consisting of Christ
Church members and NSA students. That way, all responses can be checked for
accuracy by the task force’s special-ops/espionage team.

I don’t pretend to know as much about the Code as Dustin Bauer or Don
Huskey, but here are a few questions that you could include:

-	How many people live at your residence?
-	How many immediate family members live at your residence? 
-	How many people pay money to live at your residence?
-	Do you own any dogs? If so, how many? 
-	Do you own any cats? If so, how many? 
-	Do you own any chickens? If so, how many?
-	Do you own any horses? If so, how many?
-	Do you own any cows? If so, how many?
-	Do you own any koalas? If so, how many?
-	Do you own any primates? If so, how many?
-	Do you own any lizards over three (3) feet long? If so, how many?
-	How many vehicles do residents of your home own? 
-	How many of these vehicles are regularly parked in the street?
-	How many of these vehicles are regularly parked in your lawn?
-	How many of these vehicles are regularly driven across your
neighbors’ lawns?
-	Does your home have any exposed internal wiring in the main living
area?
-	Have you ever burned leaves at your residence? 
-	Have you ever burned tree branches at your residence? 
-	Have you ever burned grass clippings at your residence? 
-	Have you ever burned newpapers at your residence? 
-	Have you ever burned books at your residence? 
-	Have you ever burned tires at your residence? 
-	Does anyone at your residence live in a bathroom? 
-	Does anyone at your residence live in a shoe? 
-	Does anyone at your residence live in a pumpkin shell?

Take care,

Deacon
