Boardmember/Councilmember Gutierrez asked for examples of typical violations. Kurt Keating, Code Enforcement Supervisor, stated a typical scenario or code enforcement case would be a person that parks their car on the front lawn. He told the process they would go through for this offense. He stated this new Ordinance would give staff the authority to issue a citation if they do not comply. He stated a second example might be an immediate hazard, i.e., dumping chemicals or products that should not be dumped. Boardmember/Councilmember Gutierrez asked if this would apply to those people that don't maintain their property. Kurt Keating, Code Enforcement Supervisor, stated yes. Boardmember/Councilmember Gutierrez felt this Ordinance is a good thing to help with the issue of people not maintaining their homes as they should. Boardmember/Councilmember Michael asked about the independent hearing officer the City would hire and asked about the qualifications for this position. James Markman, City Attorney stated there are a number of ways this can be handled, and that they would get someone that meets the qualifications to do this. Kurt Keating, Code Enforcement Supervisor, stated this is not a solution to every code enforcement issue, but it is a way for the Fire District, Code Enforcement and other departments to handle various types of problems rather than going through the court system. Vice PresidenUMayor Pro Tem Williams stated people are given plenty of opportunity to comply before a citation is issued. Kurt Keating, Code Enforcement Supervisor, stated this is correct ORDINANCE NO. 779 (first reading) Redevelopment Agency, Fire Protection District and City Council Minutes August 1, 2007 Page 10 Vice PresidenUMayor Pro Tem Williams stated we are not out to fine people for every problem, but to try to get them to correct a violation. Fire Marshal Rob Ball thanked Kurt Keating, Code Enforcement Supervisor, for bringing this forward to the Council and Fire Board. He stated this will work in conjunction with the permit and inspection program adopted last year. He stated it is a way get things resolved without having to go to court. He stated an example of an ongoing violation for the Fire District would be people not complying with getting their 5 year maintenance inspection on their fire sprinkler system. He stated an administrative citation would impress on them that this needs to get done and corrections made. He stated another issue might be someone burning candles in a business when they should not be doing so. _ He stated this program is a good tool for them to get people to comply with regulations in a more timely manner. Boardmember/Councilmember Michael asked how many inspections and reinspections a business owner has before they are given a citation. Rob Ball, Fire Marshall, stated it depends on all of the circumstances involved. Vice PresidenUMayor Pro Tem Williams opened the meeting for public hearing. Addressing the Board/Council was: John Lyons stated he didn't realize the complexity of this. He asked how the hearing would be handled. James Markman, City Attorney, felt the staff could handle the hearing without an attorney there before the hearing officer. He didn't feel the City was trying to get paid for the administrative work-up done for the hearing. He felt this would hopefully be more efficient rather than having a legal proceeding in court to resolve an issue. Leslie Grimes asked if the person has to pay for the staff time preparing for the hearing. James Markman, City Attorney, stated no. Boardmember/Councilmember Spagnclo felt this was long overdue.
