[This section deleted and replaced with:] PURPOSE: For violations of City Code not voluntarily cured by the offender, the City Council seeks to offer an alternative method of compelling compliance for city code violations rather than relying solely on the judiciary for such relief. To provide more flexibility in addressing city code violations on an individual basis that will be more efficient and effective and to ensure a process for administrative relief before engaging the judicial system, the City Council finds that an alternative method to compel compliance to be necessary. APPLICATION: In addition to those administrative penalties established in this code and the enforcement powers granted in §10.20, supplemental administrative penalties are hereby established. They may not proscribe administrative penalties for traffic offenses designated by M.S. § 169.999, as it may be amended from time to time. The administrative procedures and penalties in this section may, at the discretion of the City, be used for any violation of the City Code or any violation of the terms and conditions of a City approval, including, but not limited to, permits and licenses, required and granted under the city code. Administrative citations are a non- criminal penalty which may be issued to a person or business when city code is violated. The
