���� <br /> �'@��0� <br /> � <br /> �S- - <br /> NEW BUSINFSS—ENFORCEMENT POLICY <br /> Agenda Item: �(b) <br /> Background Information: The City Council has indicated a desire to <br /> streamline our enforcement of Code violations. Administrative Citations have <br /> been available for use for several years but we did not have a policy outlining how <br /> they would be issued. The City Administrator and I have researched other <br /> entities, spoken to inspectors or enforcing agents, as well as our City Attorney <br /> and City Prosecutor. The City Administrator and I propose the following <br /> Enforcement Policy for your review. <br /> In 200�, the Planning Commission provided a timeline for resolution of potential <br /> violations. This timeline included io days, 2o days, and 3o days. We are <br /> proposing to eliminate the 2o-day timeline. Please review the attached Offense <br /> Timeline. <br /> Section �, Article i, of the City Code provided for $10o ep r dav fines, although <br /> these were not included on the Fee Schedule. Please review the attached Exhibit <br /> B for the 2oi8 Fee Schedule. We are proposing a $2,00o maximum fine. <br /> Following is the proposed procedure to enforce pro�erty maintenance and other <br /> offenses (listed on Offense Timeline),not including lawn mowing: <br /> Letter One: <br /> • Receive complaint; document with photos; <br /> • Mail letter giving notice of violation, include specific ordinance sections; <br /> the need to abate, and a reasonable timeframe to comply; complete <br /> spreadsheet and place on X Drive. (Letter One attached) <br /> Letter Two: <br /> • Revisit property; document with photos; <br /> • Mail2nd letter, give notice of violation,the need to abate, and a shorter <br /> timeframe to comply; include specific ordinance sections and notice of <br /> criminal prosecution; complete spreadsheet and place on X Drive. <br /> (Letter Two attached) <br /> Step Three: ONLY 2 LETTERS <br /> • Revisit property; issue Administrative Citation; $ioo/day until abated or <br /> $2,00o annually. After $2,00o ma�rimum,have Sergeant turn over for <br /> prosecution. (Administrative Citation attached) <br /> Pequot Lakes Staff Report 7(b)-1 <br /> Apri119,2oi8 <br />
