Authority is granted to the <br />City of Mounds View to certify unpaid property-based Administrative Offense penalties by <br />a special assessment to property taxes. Assessment of Administrative Offense penalties <br />shall proceed only in accordance with an ordinance adopted by the Council that must at <br />least require the following: <br /> <br />The City must give notice to the property owner listed on the official tax records at least <br />30 days prior to imposing the assessment. <br /> <br />The City must attempt to obtain voluntary payment of the fees and penalties and allow the <br />property owner the opportunity to choose assessment as a method of payment. The City <br />must provide an opportunity for a hearing before a neutral third party in addition to the <br />Council. <br /> <br />Administrative Offense penalties and charges must be directly related to the property <br />being assessed according to City Code and as published in the fee schedule. <br /> <br />Assessments under this ordinance shall be imposed in the same manner as special <br />assessments as defined in MN Statute and specified in City Code. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Section 12.14 Fines and Civil Penalties. The Council may provide by ordinance that a <br />violation of a City ordinance is either a misdemeanor or a petty misdemeanor, punishable <br />in accordance with State law.
