Hamilton politicians have approved a new priority-based system for by-law enforcement.
It's an approach that sets out which of the city's by-laws will recieve pro-active enforcement and blitzes....compared with others that will recieve a lower priority, complaint-based response.
Areas around which residents can expect to see a "get-tough approach", include vital services and noise, business licencing, property standards, solid waste and traffic by-laws.
Director of Parking and By-Law Enforcement Marty Hazell says it's not possible or practical to pro-actively enforce all of Hamilton's almost 50 by-laws.

Great news. But I do have one question.
Do I read the above properly that those bylaw violations which are important enough to a member of the community to report to the bylaw office, get a lower priority than those bylaw feels are important at a specific point in time, i.e. blitz on a specific bylaw?
BTW, the spelling enforcement officers might get them on the 'recieve' (twice).
