City Hall's New Sense of Humor

The inspector posted a notice of violation but the goat ate it.

With a new city manager in charge, Imperial Beach City Hall seems to be a funnier and friendlier place.  I was pleasantly surprised today when I saw this photo and post on the city's Facebook page...

When doing inspections in Imperial Beach you never know what you might find. While out looking for a Rooster or a Boa Constrictor the inspector instead met this old goat that was not only friendly but actually happy to see our inspector which isn’t usually the case. The inspector posted a notice of violation but the goat ate it. That got the inspectors goat but we are highly trained so we stayed around just milking the job for a while. We are now looking for a home for the goat and it was suggested the fire department needed a mascot so he will be heading over there to help the Chief. I asked the inspector if this happened often and she said, “ Naaaaawww”. Just another day in the life of a code compliance officer. j

Thanks for the laugh City Hall - didn't know you had it in ya!
