ITEM # 16
MOTION
AGENDA ITEM: Adoption of the Administrative citation fee schedule SUBMITTED BY: Rick Chase, Building Official THROUGH: Dean Zuleger, City Administrator REVIEWED BY: Kyle Klatt, Planning Director Nick Johnson, City Planner
SUMMARY AND ACTION REQUESTED: Section 10.99(E)(2) of the Lake Elmo City Code
requires the adoption by resolution of a schedule of fines for the administrative citation program.
The administrative citation language was adopted in July of 2010. The action requested is intended to
implement the administrative citations program by adopting the associated fee schedule.
STAFF REPORT: The proposed fee schedule of administrative fines considers the type of
violation, the severity, and the number of times the property is non-compliant within a year period.
As certain properties continue to remain in a state of non-compliance, fines may increase depending
on the context of the violation and period of non-compliance. The increase of fee is to help reduce
the number of repeat offenses by the same owner. The administrative citation ordinance was adopted
by the City Council in July of 2010 as a means to address property maintenance and safety issues.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the council move to approve the proposed addition
to the city code with the following motion:
“Move to approve Resolution 2013-09, thereby approving the administrative
citation fee schedule.”
