<br />CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION <br />Topic Report: Nuisance Ordinance/ <br />Administrative Penalties <br />By: James E. Norman, City Administrator <br /> <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Over the years, the City of Ramsey has considered adopting "Administrative Penalties" <br />as a system of citations and fines imposed and administered by the City for violation of <br />local ordinances. More specifically, the process could be use by administration of <br />nuisance ordinances. Adoption of the administrative penalties process will provide an <br />opportunity before a hearing before a designated City hearing officer rather than utilizing <br />the court system, as the City currently is required. The topic recently came up during a <br />Council meeting of July 11,2005, and staff was directed to place the item on a Council <br />Work Session for discussion. Staff did not have enough time to provide better research, <br />however, did find a ten-year old memo on the topic (attached). <br /> <br />Action Statement: <br /> <br />Based upon discussion. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br /> <br />City Administrator <br /> <br />CCWS: <br /> <br />07/18/06 <br />
