Administrative Fines Charter Commission reviewed the proposed suggested changes by the city attorney
to the charter amendments that were approved by the charter commission at their last meeting regarding
Subdivision 2 of Fines and Penalties (Chapter 12) on January 23, 2008. However, there were insufficient
charter members (7) and therefore the meeting was suspended until this evening. Secretary Brown read
Subdivsion 2 as previously modified on January 23, 2008. A motion was made by Theis, seconded by
Lund to modify Subdivision 2 as follows, in conformance with the city attorney's recommendations and
the actions of the Charter commission at the last meeting.
Section 12.13. Fines and Penalties.
Subdivision 2. Upon passage of an administrative penalty ordinance, the City Council
may provide by ordinance that unpaid administrative penalties be collected as a special
assessment against property which was the subject matter, or related to the subject matter, of
the penalty or against the property which was the location of an activity, proposed use,
delivery of City service, or other circumstances that resulted in the penalty. The ordinance
shall provide that the City will first attempt to obtain voluntary payment of the penalty. The
ordinance shall also provide that notice and opportunity to be heard be given to the property
owner listed on the official tax records before the penalty is assessed.
Passed unanimously (9 -0).
A motion by Brown, seconded by Nelson to adjourn the meeting at 7:05. Passed unanimously (9 -0),
Submitted for consideration,
Gary E. Brown
Secretary
