12-1208 : Citations for violations-written notice.

  1. Upon the issuance of a citation for violation of a municipal ordinance referenced in the city's administrative hearing ordinance, the issuing officer shall provide written notice of:
    1. A short and plain statement of the matters asserted. If the issuing officer is unable to state the matters in detail at the time the citation is served, the initial notice may be limited to a statement of the issues involved and the ordinance violations alleged. Thereafter, upon timely, written application a more definite and detailed statement shall be furnished ten (10) business days prior to the time set for the hearing;
    2. A short and plain description of the city's administrative hearing process including references to state and local statutory authority;
    3. Contact information for the city's administrative hearing office; and
    4. The time frame in which the administrative law judge will review the citation and determine the fine and remedial period, if any.
  2. Citations issued for violations of ordinances referenced in the city's administrative hearing ordinance shall be signed by the alleged violator at the time of issuance. If an alleged violator refuses to sign, the issuing officer shall note the refusal and attest to the alleged violator's receipt of the citation. An alleged violator's signature on a citation is not admission of guilt.
  3. Citations issued upon absentee property owners may be served via certified mail sent to the last known address of the recorded owner of the property.
  4. Citations issued for violations of ordinances referenced in the city's administrative hearing ordinance shall be transmitted to an administrative law judge within two (2) business days of issuance. (as added by Ord. #894, March 2013 Ch8_08-05-24)
