§ 1-8.101. Purpose.

Latest version.

The purpose of this chapter is to enable civil fines in conjunction with the enforcement of this Code. Notwithstanding the provisions in this chapter, the City has and shall continue to employ the philosophy of voluntary compliance when seeking compliance with this Code. Prior to the implementation of the policies and procedures stated in this chapter, voluntary compliance policies and procedures; such as, personal contact, letters, assistance from other agencies, etc., may be utilized first in order to educate the public on the requirements contained in the Code and to abate the violation. Experience has found, that once educated, the vast majority of citizens will comply with City ordinances. Therefore, the policies and procedures stated in this chapter are for the minority who do not respond to voluntary compliance and may need a further incentive to comply.
