10-3-401. DECLARATION OF PURPOSE.
(1) The City Council finds that there is a need to recover costs incurred by enforcement officials and other City personnel who spend considerable time inspecting and reinspecting properties throughout the City in an effort to ensure compliance with the City Code or applicable state codes.
(2) The City Council further finds that the assessment of costs is an appropriate method to recover expenses incurred for actual costs of abating violations, reinspection fees, filing fees, attorney fees, hearing officer fees, title search, and any additional actual costs incurred by the City for each individual case. The assessment and collection of costs shall not preclude the imposition of any administrative or judicial civil penalties or fines for violations of the City Code or applicable state codes.
