Submitted By: Sara Brown, Project Coordinator, NSD.
Strategic Plan Link: The City's Goal of safe, clean, and beautiful.
Presentation Information: For cases where a party is present, city staff will present evidence and testimony regarding alleged violation of the City Code at the respondent’s property, after which the Special Magistrate will determine whether a violation exists, if so, establish a deadline for compliance.
Staff Recommendation: Move that the Council determine whether the respondent is in violation of City Code and, if so, set a deadline for compliance.
Alternate Recommendations:
1. Move that the Council amend the recommendation and determine whether the respondent is in violation of City Code and, if so, set a deadline for compliance.
2. Move that the Council not certify or approve the presented case and provide staff direction.
Background: A Code Compliance Officer discovered a violation of the City Code, notified the respondent, and gave them a reasonable time to correct the violation. Upon determining that the violation was not corrected, the Code Compliance Officer requested a public hearing before the Special Magistrate. The purpose of this hearing is to determine whether the alleged code violation did in fact occur and, if so, whether the respondent is legally responsible for that violation. At the conclusion of the hearing, the Special Magistrate issues an order setting a deadline for compliance. If the violation is not corrected by that deadline, a second public hearing is held at which time the Special Magistrate may impose a fine.
