10-5-24-2: NOTIFICATION OF VIOLATION; ADMINISTRATIVE ADJUSTMENT:

Whenever the City finds that any user has violated the prohibitions in section 10-5-24-1 of this section 10-5-24, the City shall cause to be served upon such user a written notice either in person or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, stating the nature of the alleged violation or violations. The notice may also state what fine, penalty or other remedy the City will seek against the user for such alleged violation or violations. Within twenty (20) days of the date of receipt of the notice, the user shall respond personally or in writing to the City advising of its position with respect to the allegations. Thereafter, the user shall be given the opportunity to meet with representatives, employees or agents of the City to discuss the veracity of the allegations, to establish a plan for the satisfactory correction of the violations and preclusion of a recurrence thereof, and to pay the fine or otherwise comply with the penalty or remedy being sought by the City for the violation or violations. Submission of a response in no way relieves the user of liability for any violations occurring before or after receipt of written notice of noncompliance from the City. Nothing in this section shall limit the authority of the City to take any action, including emergency actions or any other enforcement action, without first issuing a notice of violation.
