Conduct reports increase

Mayor Leo Lutz reported there was a recent meeting between himself, the police department and code enforcement officials with the Lancaster County Housing and Redevelopment Authority concerning housing regulations, particularly in Section 8 units and how they are abusing the system.

“Since Aug. 2, we have written 60 disruptive conduct reports and there have been four evictions because of violations of our three strike policy,” Lutz said.

Also, the mayor said in four cases, the Section 8 status of the people have been revoked because of abuse of the system.

“The authority is very happy with Columbia that we are clamping down on the abuse and its getting some attention,” the mayor said.
