The title has an ominous ring to it.Are these officers out searching for thesmallest of violations? Are they out toget you no matter what you do?Many people have the wrong ideaabout what the men and womenworking as the City of Enid’s codeenforcement officers do for their jobs.Many think these are the bad guys,here to deliver troubling news. However, it is time to reform that ideaas these code enforcement officers arehere to help, really.

Frank Haley, code enforcement offi-cer for the City of Enid, is just aboutthe friendliest guy one could meet.His honest answer of why he’s doingthis job: “I wanted a job where I couldhelp people. With this job, I get tosee the outcome of my work, and Ilike dealing with people and finding asituation where we both can behappy.” Haley’s job entails numeroushours of driving and observing. Whilecode enforcers respond to complaints

from people about neighboring hous-es, many of the code violations theyrespond to are ones the code officershave observed themselves.

When Haley arrives to a house thathas a code violation, he does not arriveready for a confrontation. Instead, hearrives with solutions and how he can

help, which is exactly what the jobdescription entails. And for the mostpart, Haley attests that 85-90 percentof the people are receptive to what hehas to say to them about improve-ments. It is only a rare 10 percent whothink they should be allowed to lettheir homes or landscape become sorundown that both become a danger tothe tenants and community.

Yes, Enid is trying to clean up its citysurroundings, which includes housing,but it is not all about aesthetics. Haleysays a main objective for the City isgetting everyone in structurally soundhomes too. Another main reason forthe code enforcers is to institute amutual respect between communitymembers, not to mention respect andpride for Enid as a city. Having ahome that is falling apart or trees thatthreaten to fall on a neighbor’s garage isnot only unsafe, but also it shows alack of respect for others. Most people,according to Haley, are not purposelytrying to be disrespectful, but some-times it takes an outsider’s eye to seethe problem and point it out. “I workwith people when I see there is a codeviolation. We work out a time table,and as long as I see that you are tryingto improve what the violation is, then

I’m going to continue working withyou,” says Haley.

Also taken into account is the season,meaning that during winter, painting isnot a high concern due to weather.Instead, during this time of year, asEnid transitions from winter to spring,the focus for code enforcement officersis debris and trash in the yard. This is

also a good time, says Haley, for peopleto focus on chipping old paint off, get-ting homes ready for new paint,inspecting the roof and keeping an eyeon all of the trim. Prevention is a greatway to avoid having a run-in with codeofficers, and even though Haley andother officers will make the run-in aspleasant as possible, they are all for resi-

dents taking preventative steps. There are some doors Haley knocks

upon and it is answered by a personwho is physically incapable of doing thenecessary repairs. Also, there are somepeople who are financially incapable ofincurring the cost of repairs. This iswhere Haley’s helping nature comes intoplay, and he, as well as other code offi-cers, have contact numbers of peoplewho can help. “I’ll let people know tocontact CDSA, and they can usuallyhelp with the cost of home repairs.Also, some Enid churches call me, ask-ing if I know of anyone who wouldappreciate some help around the home.Groups from all over are willing to lendphysical labor, and there is funding outthere that residents can attain in orderto help with the cost,” Haley informs.

These code officers are also a wealthof knowledge, and simply stopping oneon the side of the road can help youwith future violations, such as theheight limit for trees and bushes, whatis acceptable in alleys, what can be visible in the yard and many others.One rule even Haley did not knowprior to becoming a code officer: “Youcannot sell anything from your home,not auto parts, not animals. You musthave a business license to do so.”

If Haley sees anyone selling some-thing from their homes, or tree limbsthreatening to crash on a structure, oranything that could cause negativeresults or attention, he tries to handleeverything first in person. If no one ishome, Haley takes a picture, writesdown what the violation is and sends aletter. Residents are given 10 days torespond to the letter, and if there is noresponse or the response is unreason-able, Haley must return. As long aspeople are working with him andupdating Haley about their work, Haleyattests that he is patient. And for thosewho comply with what the violation is,

they can expect a sincere thank you let-ter in the mail from Haley.

An even better incentive for residentsto completely comply is the Mayor’sChoice award, given to properties whichdisplay dramatic turnarounds. The Citytakes notice of those helping the processof making Enid beautiful both internal-ly and externally, and it is with codeenforcement officers like Frank Haleythat these properties and residents getthe positive notice.

So, next time, when that codeenforcement truck slowly drives past,wave and smile. These employees aretruly here to help.

With a new garage door, the new paint and overall TLC, this house is anasset to the community.

In a battle against wind, snow and rain, this house was on the losing side.

Loyd Kaufman WARD 4 COMMISSIONER

Commissioner Lyod Kaufman is aself-professed jack of all trades with ahands-on approach to his job as com-missioner. Should one of his ward’sresidents call with a problem,Commissioner Kaufman appears readyto fix it. From carpentry to plumbingto answering City questions, he isthere, willing to be of service to anyonein need of a helping hand. If problemsare presented to him and not fixed, itcertainly is not due to a lack of tryingsince he pours his efforts and skills intosolutions. He wants to be known asthe commissioner who listens to hisward’s residents, which is exactly whyhe has no reservations about picking upthat ringing phone to simply hear asmall complaint.

He and his wife have devoted theirtime to family, fostering over 80 chil-dren and providing a loving home forall of them. Once considered a trou-bled child himself, CommissionerKaufman and his wife took in childrenwho often found themselves havingtrouble with the foster system, orworse, the law. However, tough loveand a great deal of kindness are theonly things these kids found in theKaufman home. In total, he and hiswife have seven children, three ofwhich they adopted from the fosterprogram, and he spends a great deal oftime talking about the joys they haveadded to his life. CommissionerKaufman is an everyday person, evenreceiving his own notices for code vio-lations, which he has vehementlyfought throughout the years. He is theunderdog, but as long as he representshis ward to the best of his ability, hehas no fear that the underdog will winagain.

On being an unexpected choice forCommissioner:

Before I became a commissioner, I thought that theCity Commission was too hard on homeowners with allof the regulations for homes and yards. In a five year period, I was fined $11,000 for code violations, and Iwanted to help homeowners who disagreed with theviolations handed to them. I wanted to represent thesehomeowners, so I went to apply to run for the positionof commissioner, and I was not taken very seriously. Itold the Commission that I was not giving up and wouldbe back, and within two years, I was back with the Cityemployees backing me. Through their efforts and mine,I became the Ward Four Commissioner, and I’ve tried todo the best of what has been expected of me.

On how his opinion of the Commission has changed:

Once I became a commissioner, I got to look at everything from a different viewpoint, and my views onsome things have changed. Our current City ManagerEric Benson is a really good city manager, bringingchanges to our community. I have supported most ofthe changes that he has brought about, but I trulybelieve that I am in touch with the people of my ward,and I have to support their views. It has been saidbefore, but it is true that what is good for the city isgood for all of the wards.

City Manger Benson takes the time to meet with me,so we can discuss issues I may have or ideas. It is greatto have a good relationship with both the city managerand the other commissioners. We all need to work inharmony to achieve the best possible outcomes for thecity as a whole.

On getting his ward involved in Enid:In the last election, only one percent of my ward

voted. I try and tell my ward’s residents that if they arereally concerned about what is happening in the city,then they have to get out and vote. I am only a singlecommissioner, so it’s hard for me to really accomplishanything alone. I can only be truthful and direct andhope that gets people involved, especially when it comesto voting.

On how his role as a foster parent hashelped shape him into who he is today:

In between the years of 1981 and 1991, my wife and Iwere responsible for 85 foster children, most of themhaving histories of rough childhoods and numerousother homes. I could relate because I also had a roughchildhood, and I tried to teach all of our kids that there isno easy road to follow and ten minutes of stupidity canruin the rest of your life. Laws are here for a purpose,and I think my wife and I helped to get these kids tomake good lives for themselves. We adopted three ofthe children that we fostered, and they are my pride andjoy.

On paying for Enid’s future:The needs of our city are great, but people don’t want

to spend money to improve it. With the little money wehave to spend on fixing roads, by the time you fix all ofthe roads on one side of town, the other side’s roadsneed drastic repair. It all comes down to money, andmost people don’t want to have to pay for fixing problems out of their own pockets.

I used to think that it was a waste of money for all ofthe commissioners to take a trip to Washington D.C.But we learn so much there, and the people in D.C. really listen to us when we go up there. They like tolearn about smaller cities and how our own governmentaccomplishes goals and budgets.

On jobs and economic development in Enid:

Advance Food Company has been well worth Enid’sinvestment in it due to how much the company hasrepaid Enid through taxes and employment opportunities. We give these big companies tax breaksand incentives, so they can make Enid their home andreturn the favor, just like Advance has. As for our City employees I would like to see all city workers make aminimum wage of $10 an hour. This would only costthe City another $1 million a year, but it is well worthour investment as well.

THOUGHTS

LAKES VS. WELLSWater seems to be oneveryone’s minds these days.

Why? The latest studyshows that Enid has a 30 yeartimeline in which to imple-ment a replacement for theCity’s water needs. While theCity relies predominantly onwells, these wells are quicklyreaching the end of theirwater tables, not to mention,these wells do not belong tothe City. Instead, the Citypays water rights, but eventhese water rights come withstipulations. First stipulationis the City has a cap of howmuch water it can take fromthe wells, whereas some of theother sharers do not havecaps. Second stipulation isthat the owners of the wellscan decide not to sell therights, leaving the City in aquick bind.

The city is now faced withtwo choices. The first is topick an area and have addi-tional wells dug, but that is asolution that will have to berevisited every 60 to 75 years,certainly not a long termanswer to Enid’s waterqueries. The second choicefor Enid is to build a lake,which is a solution that isconsiderably more expensivein the short term, but thelong term benefits drasticallyoutnumber that of welldrilling.

Commissioner Don Rose: “I believe a lake has numerous more long-term benefits

to the city than extending our existing well fields. However, a lake couldcome at a higher price, and it takes more time and effort to accomplish it.

A lake would offer an enhanced quality of life and provide a long term watersource, but the negatives to a lake are the price of building one, the longer

time it would take to construct and possible environmental issues.”

Commissioner Jim Crabbs:“We need to find a solution for our kids and our grandkids. The City

uses millions of gallons of water a day, so it is a very important issue for Enid’s future. We need to stop taking our

water for granted.”

9

Here, some of Enid’s Commissioners give their thoughts on what Enid should do in the future…

Commissioner Daron Rudy:“I would consider the lake option for three reasons.

First are the increased recreational opportunities. Second, it is a long-term solution as it would last for a very long time and be difficult to deplete once full. Third, a lake would help alleviate

flooding downstream of it, which means that Enid could probably find ways to attain federal

money to help build it.”Commissioner Todd Ging:

“A great thing about building a lake is that it adds a recreational quality of life, as well as providing water. That recreational

benefit could greatly help us in the recruitment and retention of businesses andpeople. Also, we would have sole rights to the lake, as opposed to having to

share ground water with anyone else who lives on top of that ground water or owns the rights.”

Commissioner Lyod Kaufman:“I’m not sure Enid will ever see a lake here because it will take too much

money to do. There are a lot of things to consider, but ultimately it comes down to asking if we want to dig wells deeper or keep paying

other people for the water rights or if we want to put in the initial money to build a lake.”

A former Army sergeant, the low-key Todd Ging utilizes the diplomatic and organizational skills he gained in the military toweave his way through the obstacles that come with being a part of the City Council. Using the GI Bill to pay for college, helearned the academic terminology for the real-life experience he had already gained.

Entering his second term unopposed, Ging is thankful for Ward 6’s vote of confidence. Looking towards Enid’s future andhoping to secure the interest of Enid’s next generation of leaders, Ging feels fortunate to serve a city that has been so good tohim. As an instructor at Northern Oklahoma College’s Enid campus, Ging appreciates the opportunity to engage with studentsto learn about their interests and concerns in the City and to offer them ways in which they can participate in Enid’s volunteeractivities, such as community clean-up days.

Enid’s appearance is one of Ging’s concerns. He is excited about the new trail system and hopes Enid will be seen as anattractive and clean place to raise families and develop businesses.

On being a commissioner for a second term…

This time around I think it was more of me seeinghow I could make a difference and have input in howour community develops in the future. I think it reallytakes two years of learning how to be effective andthen two years forming a direction.

You know some people show up on a commissionwith plans and something they wanted to do. For me, Ijust looked at it in the beginning as being about theinfrastructure and the whole idea of what we could domore with that has developed from being on a coupleof years.

On the City Manager…We’re really lucky having Eric Benson as City

Manager. I think he’s very much someone who has anexcellent work ethic and a lot of energy, and we get alot done. Not all of it is something we do. Sometimeswe decide not to do something, but we at least havethe conversation and make a decision. I’ve heard com-ments from others that the commission has achieved alot of things that have needed to be done for a longtime and they ask how we did it. You just look at Ericand say, “Well, he asked us to make a decision aboutit.“ He just does it. We’re a commission of action andit’s really due to his leadership.

On leadership…I look at my time as limited. I’ve got four

years and I’m done, and someone will replace me. Idon’t say that I want a young person to replace me,but I do say I want someone youthful in their outlookto replace me. I think that’s very important in thegrowth of the City of Enid to have someone that’s gotthat youthful mindset that says, “I need to make Enidwhat I want it to be.”

I’d like to see someone youthful in mind take myplace in four years that would create this communitythe way they would like, with what they would enjoy,with the hopes that people outside of here would lookat the community and say, “You know, I would enjoythose same things and that’s where I want to live.” Ifwe make it how we would like to live in it, there’salways going to be other likeminded people. Then if itdoesn’t work as far as an economic development plan,then at least we have a nice place to live.

Working with the students at NOC, you meet peoplewhen they’re young and they’re still very idealistic.They haven’t been worn down by the world yet. Andthe hope is that they’ll hold on to that as long as theycan or create a world where that idealistic view of the

world can exist.

On the trail system…I see it as a tremendous draw, something that tran-

scends age groups. There’s a national trend to gettingback to healthier lifestyles. And we’re all gettinghealthier, or trying to at least, and that’s what really Ithink transcends the ages because that’s where yousee the older generations and the younger genera-tions using walking or other activities to stay in shape.

You can also go back to the safety issue that hasbeen demanding a lot of our conversations of lateamong the commission. Sometimes you see peoplerunning along on the sides of the street. On the eastside they’re right in the middle of the street; on thewest side they’re jogging in and out of ditches if theygo down a road, and that’s not safe. That’s not safe forthe bicyclists, runners or the walkers and it’s not safefor the cars either. So it’s one of those things especiallyyoung people look at when they come in to a commu-nity and they size it up for whether this is a communitythey want to commit their efforts to or not.

A trail system tells someone outside of the communi-ty that this community cares enough about itself toinvest in itself. So beyond all the benefits you can putdown on paper and show where you’ve becomehealthier, there’s also just an image that a communitycan get from having something like a trail system thatyou really couldn’t put a price tag on.

On what he’s proud of…Streets, roads, bridges, the appearance of the town

is always something we have to strive for. I’ve seen alot of good in four years I’ve been in office. The poly-carts have really lowered the amount of trash blowingon the streets. One of the things I’m proudest of isthat we’ve made humongous strides in our safety pro-gram. We’ve cut safety incidents by at least 30 percentfor City of Enid employees. We’ve also cut down thetime it takes to resolve code violations on a house.That’s something we’ve done that’s taken a lot oftime—keeping Enid cleaned up.

I’m also proud of the way we’ve worked with theprivate industry. Specifically in the clean up that we dida couple of years ago, a big massive push to work onthe east side and help them out. Probably more thanhalf that came from private industry for the labor andthe amount of money put into it. The City put in quitea bit, but it was also a good effort from the privatesector as well.

THOUGHTS

12

Co-WorkersEnid and Vance Air Force Base have always been “part-

ners in the sky”, and now, another partnership is being pub-licly commended, which is the mutually beneficial relation-ship between Enid’s job market and Vance spouses. Vanceis home to both students and permanent party militarymembers, meaning some military members are here for aslittle as six months, some are here for over three years.These military members rarely arrive alone. Instead, theyhave spouses, children and a way of life they need to con-tinue to support. For many military members, supportingtheir way of life means having a working spouse, whichmeans that the first thing these spouses do upon arrival isstart searching the job market.

Bob Farrell, Vance Air Force Base community relationschief, furthers, “Military spouses are like anyone else whohas moved to the area. They are trying to fit in the com-munity and trying to integrate themselves. Most of the

spouses went to college and have bachelor’s degrees or arecontinuing their education.” Enid offers great opportuni-ties for spouses to continue their educations, and one suchspouse, Kayla Maurer says, “At Vance, we were in a morestable situation where I could focus on school while myhusband went through pilot training. Plus, the EnidScholarship was a very nice perk that made it possible!”Maurer is not the only spouse getting to attend college dueto the Enid Scholarship, and many spouses find that Enid isthe perfect place to be stationed to do just that.

For those spouses who have already attended institu-tions of higher education, a lot of businesses see the wealthin hiring them even though it may be for a relatively shortperiod of time. Another plus according to Farrell is thatVance spouses are stable employees, who are not bound bymaking a certain income or receiving a good benefit pack-age since the military covers all benefits.

For Wing Commander ColonelMark C. Nowland, the key word is rela-tionship when it comes to Enid andVance AFB working together, and thatrelationship certainly is strong for thejob market. “I could go on and onabout how spouses impact both theEnid and Vance communities. Thereare multiple examples of how thesespouses enrich the communities as theyarrive with education, diverse back-grounds and incredible work ethics,”explains Colonel Nowland. WhenColonel Nowland arrived at Vance AFB,he met attorney Stephen Jones, whotold Colonel Nowland that he chose tolive in Enid because he wanted to live ina diverse population with people mov-ing in and out. With the military near-by, it made for a perfect scenario forJones, and he has hired numerous mili-tary spouses.

Colonel Nowland is quick toremember just how much Vance, mili-tary members and military spouses ben-efit from Enid as well, saying,

“We certainlyappreciate the city

of Enid and itsbusiness

community for taking risks and

putting non-permanent employees intotheir payroll.

It really is a win-win situationfor both sides.”

As Colonel Nowland points out,there are many reasons why Vance isthankful to have such a supportive com-munity, and the community-base rela-tions are certainly enviable.

Whether a spouse has chosen towork outside the home, continue his orher education or decided to stay athome, all can agree that Enid’s biggestcharm is its tight knit community.Many military members are relocatingfrom larger cities, and to come to aplace where the pace is slower and thepeople have time for relationships isheartwarming. Sara Zumbro, EnidHigh School World History teacher andhead volleyball coach says, “I enjoy thecommunity of Enid because of the posi-tive atmosphere. Enid is a great com-

Dear Enid on the Move Readers,Arriving in Enid in June of 2006, I was uncertain of how I could best

use my education and further my experience in the job market. I movedfrom a large city, unsure of how to go about a job search in what Ithought was a “town”. Through the wonderful services at Vance AFBFamily Support and Greg Waide, I was given Frank Baker’s name and thenumber for Eagle Marketing. I walked into that office confident butinexperienced. Frank gave me a chance, and I started as a small contribu-tor to Eagle Marketing, and now, almost three years later, I leave as themanaging editor for this publication.

In this issue of Enid on the Move, we show just how important the rela-tionship between Enid and Vance Air Force Base is in the aspect of jobsavailable for Vance spouses. For me, Enid has been a true blessing, a wayfor me to get my foot in the door and a way for me to gain invaluableexperience in the world of writing and editing. I cannot say I would havebeen given this chance elsewhere. City Manager Eric Benson has beenintegral in encouraging me to dig deeper into the issues, to truly find outhow city government works and how to use creative skills to put forth aproduct that has an extremely diverse readership.

Without Enid’s community and businesses, Vance AFB would not be asgreat of an assignment as it is. Here, in Enid, spouses can find good jobs,gain experience, integrate themselves into a wonderful community, explorenumerous churches and find out exactly what small-town hospitality is allabout. And this does not stop with just spouses. Whole families findtheir niches here in Enid, which is why so many return to make Enidtheir permanent home.

In case you, the Enid community, do not hear it enough, thank you.Thank you from this Vance spouse. I will carry all of these experienceswith me, to every base we go.

munity full of fantastic morals, valuesand a huge sense of pride.

“To be a part of a small

community hasbeen

fabulous.”

When Zumbro first became ateacher in Enid, she was in the sameposition as every student spouse; shecould be in Enid for as little as a year.However, her husband was assigned tobe a First Assignment Instructor Pilot(FAIP), and Zumbro was able to capital-ize on that chance the Enid PublicSchools System gave to her. Now, whenshe leaves, she will have three years ofexperience with the Enid PublicSchools. That is the type of resumebuilder that so many spouses are thank-ful to have when they leave for the nextassignment.

For many spouses, leaving Enid isbittersweet due to their enjoyment andfulfillment of working here. Gainingexperience and establishing friendshipswith coworkers makes leaving not aseasy to do. Krystal Supper, who cur-rently works for Opportunities Inc. andwill be relocating to Phoenix for herhusband to fly F-16’s, did not expect tomake the kind of bonds she did, andnow, she shares, “I have been workingalongside some amazing colleagues, whoI will always remember. Though mili-tary orders may take us all over theworld, I know I will keep in touch withsome of the friends I have made whileworking here.”

Taking all of these examples ofspouses who have benefitted from Enid’shigher education opportunities, openminded businesses and welcoming pop-ulation, there is one thing in commonwith all of them: community. Vanceand Enid work together harmoniouslyto create a community that is inter-twined and intermeshed with oneanother, and certainly, it is the people,both military and civilian, who benefittogether.

“Working in Enid provides opportunities to see what the community has tooffer and in which ways I can contribute. Enid is a diverse town, and I amfortunate to have met so many wonderful people through my work.”
