Page 2 B. Current Process – Per 407.06 (As per new Ci ty Policy in #6 of Prosecution Contact of November 18, 2002 –attach ed). The underlined information is the change created by the new policy. 1. Notice of violation to pr operty owner giving 14 da ys to correct violation. 2. Second notice of violation to property owner giving an other 14 days to correct violation. Also a warning is included that failure to comply could result in an Administrative Ticket ($100). 3. An Administrative Ticket ($100) is issued wi th a note stating that if the violation is corrected within 7 days the ticket will be cancelled. 4. Codes Coordinator attempts to contact the pr operty owner and re solve the issue. 5. Codes Coordinator discusses the violation with both the Community Development Director and the City Attorney. Both the CDD and the CA must agree a citation is appropriate, and would be the most effective route to proceed with. 6. The Codes Coordinator writes up a notice to the violator stating that the City’s intention is to issue a Rams ey County Court Citation. The no tice states that unless the property owner corrects the viol ation within 30 days (30 days must be given to comply with notificatio n requirements) the City Council will discuss the matter at a specified date (set to occur after the 30 day notice requirement). Because this notification will be part of the Council discussi on, it must be a detailed re port of all previous facts involving the case (very time c onsuming). The notification is mailed by regular mail, sent by certified mail and pos ted on the property in-order to comply with notification requirements. 7. An RCA is written to be pr esented to Administration fo r potential placement on the Agenda on a specified date (sometimes the ag enda for that meeting date is full, the date must be changed and the notif ication process must begin afresh). 8. A week before the C ouncil Meeting an insp ection is conduc ted of the property and of the violation. Most often th e situation has changed in so me significant way. The case is often reevaluated at this point. The report must be re-written to explain the new conditions and the RCA mu st be rewritten to refl ect the new conditions. 9. The day of the Council meeting the site is inspected again to see if conditions have changed and if new information must be presen ted to Council. 10. Staff must be availabl e at the Council Meeti ng to answer questions. 11. If Council agrees that a Ramsey County Court Citati on is appropriate, a Ramsey County Court Citation is wr itten (by the Codes Coordi nator) and mailed to the violator. Copies are also mailed to the prosecuting atto rney and Ramsey County Court. \\metro-inet.us\Roseville\CommDev\Inspections _Permits\Permits\Complaints\City Code Viol ation Information\Citation Process(09190 5).doc
