The RM of Stanley is working to add a by-law officer to their staff.

Reeve Morris Olafson explains without enough work for a full-time position, council is hoping to partner with the RM of Rhineland.

He notes the officer would enforce by-laws that dictate the number of derelict vehicles a resident can store, burning bans and animal and pest control.

"There are many things they could do," Olafson says. "If we hire the right person it could just improve the area."

Olafson says while the by-laws are in place, they want to add a staff member with the proper authority to enforce the by-laws.

"We don't want to be another police force, but you want everything to look nice," he says.
