10-4-5-6: ADMINISTRATIVE ENFORCEMENT:

The City may utilize administrative enforcement procedures with the intent to remedy violations of this chapter without the necessity of civil or criminal enforcement proceedings. The administrative enforcement proceeding shall be initiated upon service by the City of written notice upon a person in violation of this chapter, with a description of the violation and possible enforcement actions the City will utilize. Within twenty (20) days of receipt of a written notice of violation, the customer shall respond to the City, advising of its position with respect to the allegation of violation, and thereafter, shall be granted an opportunity to meet with the City to discuss the violation and establish a plan for correction of the violation. Submission of a response does not relieve the customer of liability for any violations of this chapter. The City retains the right to take any necessary enforcement action without first issuing a notice of violation, and the use of administrative actions shall not preclude the City from seeking any other remedies or penalties provided for in this chapter. (Ord. 21-17, 5-23-2017)
