McMinnville Planning and Zoning director Nolan Ming has a new hat to wear, that of codes official for the city of McMinnville. Naming Ming to the position allows him to decide if a codes violation exists and reduce the number of cases taken to court. However, City Court will still be used for any condemnation proceedings.“It’s gotten to the point in recent discussions with Nolan and (city judge) Tim Reed, a substantial part of the city court docket is now been dedicated to codes enforcement,” said Pirtle.
