ARTICLE VII. - ADMINISTRATIVE ENFORCEMENT OF ORDINANCE VIOLATIONS <br />Sec. 2-331. - Findings. <br />The city council has determined that the health, safety, good order, general welfare, and convenience of the public is <br />threatened by certain public nuisances or violations of this Code on property within the city limits and finds the need for alternative <br />methods of enforcing this Code. While criminal fines and penalties have been the most frequent enforcement mechanism, there are <br />certain negative consequences for both the city and the accused. The delay inherent in that system does not ensure prompt <br />resolution. Accordingly, the city council finds that the use of abatement, administrative and administrative <br />hearings is an addition to any other legal remedy that may be pursued. The city has the option to utilize any of the following three <br />procedures to enforce this Code. These procedures may be used separately, or in combination, to alleviate the violation. <br />(Code 1978, § 5.20, subd. 1; Ord. No. 07-14, § 3, 9-11-2007; Ord. No. 08-32, § 2(5.20, subd. 1), 12-9-2008) <br />Sec. 2-332. - Abatement. <br />(a) Application. This article shall apply to the abatement of all public nuisances and other violations as defined within this Code <br />unless another procedure is specifically provided. <br />u dPw'w� 8����p.V�y�i Vdu dh"✓'^r�������p.^i^ rv^VV18^rryr.V�y�° �hil.,°u; ^.m�������p.il.i.;;. <br />wwllvV Ni.^I MIIIIIIIII uwPo�"Potlh r',II� p.vM r rWV�,w:uV V� � Pour!p.V � li-Iq;llllll II �� ..'.ww uwVII�WPG," VFW � qp,l WWWIIIIII"!ir PoWWPoI, I " II 1 <br />I ��G;,aWpuWWaV�II uY'iiu V VvWa�'GaWII'PI Vn WII'II �'�'PoW�w �wWW�V�"wu';!!!�o tlIIV�Wh';!!'IIWMvv v I,ri"..'.III Ilua�'u"4 out V VvWp'U�wu�IIIIv wllri"III'idiIIII ��PoV�aI;iG!^�IuII' WVh �'''uI V W�"�� Y'iiu W III �'w ":ulll'Ilvv I UPo aII^'ii'�I,N".,„ <br />"Pou';!!!4 III VII WIIII^'°;,'� Vi io ",;VII'II'PoIP�PoViV iw"V":'V4& �PouM ru'! ��PoVi �I ii�uEv+iv4IIIIII � tl"nW;;,W�WI„[w4ry <br />wu I "..:I'u���lu�p�"II II"'Ups �PoyiryirurdiIPo�� lu� lu-II"-tlnu V° lu�'..:�ul aryuu,r-.wuvwllllPoIIIIVl9!!ir�WwV�lull hull hull tlnur!!'
