The Focus Area Service Team was supposed to launch in August
about the Focus Area Service Team, or FAST, shortly before the council approved the program in June. “We’ve talked a lot about getting back to the basics. Creating a city that is safer, that is cleaner and everyone is housed. And to get there, we got to hold everyone accountable.”The launch of the coveted pilot program has been held up for nearly two months, The Mercury News has learned, with inspections not set to start until at least November.
The delay comes as blight becomes a key concern for the mayor and downtown residents amid uncertainty about the future of the city’s commercial vitality in the post-pandemic era. Roberts said the program will consist of three code inspectors, one of whom will be part-time. Outreach to businesses and residents will start in October before inspections commence the following month. Those inspections — which will be focused on downtown along with commercial corridors in Districts 5, 6 and 10 — will still run for their planned timeframe of six months.
