Council Member Robert Holden discusses Intro 688, which proposes cure periods for certain violations by Veteran Service Organizations (VSOs). He emphasizes that the legislation is not primarily a funding issue but rather aims to give VSOs extra time to address minor violations that are not structurally dangerous.

  • Holden suggests the bill would provide VSOs additional time to fix building problems without incurring fines
  • He notes that the legislation wouldn't necessarily require significant funding, mainly just allowing extra time for VSOs to address issues
  • The council member emphasizes that the extra time would be for minor violations, not for dangerous structural problems

And, you know and let me just go jump back to the legislation again.

Intro 688, pure periods for certain violations of of VSOs, which, is a huge problem, as you know.

Mhmm.

That also, if it was if it becomes law, then it gets, hopefully, funding.

So, and it's not really a funding issue if you look at it.
0:36:05
It it's it's not a at least funding maybe for for more, building department personnel, I don't think that would necessarily mean so much, in the way of of hiring.

I think it would need just a legislation that would give the VSOs extra time.
