The prosecuting City Attorney (Tom Hughes) has advised Jeremiah Anderson <br /> that the City should amend Section 1125. 06 of the Code . ( Please see the attached e-mail) . <br /> The attorney told City staff that this change is necessary because the current City Code <br /> language about penalties is not as clear or as strong as it should be. <br /> The current code language reads as follows : <br /> Chapter 1125.06 PENALTIES : Any person who violates any provision of the Code <br /> shall , upon conviction thereof, be fined as provided in Section 104 . 01 of the Code . Each <br /> day a violation is permitted to exist shall constitute a separate offense. <br /> Staff has prepared an amendment to the City Code to make Section 1125 , 06 about <br /> penalties clearer, stronger and more consistent with other penalty sections of the City <br /> Code. <br /> Recommendation : <br /> Approve the introduction and first reading of Ordinance 838 . <br /> Respectfully submitted , <br /> K Aftberts — Community Development Director <br /> Attachments: <br /> 1 .
