Woodstock Police Chief Bob Lowen will host this month's Coffee with the Chief on Monday, October 13, 2008, at 7:00-8:30PM at the Woodstock Police Department, 656 Lake Avenue.
This month's featured speaker will be Catherine Martin of McHenry County Home Inventory, Inc. Ms. Martin will address the importance of having a current home inventory - you know, "just in case..."
What would you do if a major fire struck your home? Or if a thief got in and grabbed your valuables? What would be missing? How would you determine their value?
Do you have photographs of your valuables? A videotape of the rooms of your home? Photographs or a videotape of opened drawers and closet doors? A written inventory of your "stuff"? And dated? Serial numbers of important possessions?
The monthly Coffees are also an opportunity for you to get what's on your mind off of it. Are you having problems in your neighborhood? Drugs? Loud radios? Tire-squealing? Cars blocking sidewalks?
Junk in yards or on the parkway? Junk cars stored for months? Donovan Day, Woodstock's Code Enforcement Officer, attends many of the Coffees and can receive your complaints about Code matters, which are not handled by the police department.

The code enforcement officer position should be eliminated. It is pointless and achieves nothing but creating revenue for the city and restricting the freedom of it's residents. If you don't think codes are about money (an elaborate legal bribe) then you are a fool. Leave you neighbors alone and feel lucky you live in America.
I do feel lucky that I live in America. I like a clean America. It would be nice if a Code Enforcement officer position weren't needed. If people maintained their properties in halfway decent repair, didn't park cars on the front lawns, store junk cars in their driveways, etc., etc., etc., a Code Enforcement officer would not be needed. It's not about revenue; in fact, it probably costs more to enforce the Code than is collected in fines.
