Council Regular Meeting
DATE: 12/8/2025
TO: Council/EDA Work Session
FROM: Xiong Thao, Housing and Community Standards Manager
THROUGH: Jesse Anderson, Community Development Director
BY: Xiong Thao, Housing and Community Standards Manager
SUBJECT: Administrative Penalties Program and Abatement Fees Discussion
Requested Council Action:
- City Council to provide direction to staff on any adjustments
Background:
During the special assessment hearings on October 13th and 27th 2025, the Council
asked staff to bring information about Administrative Citations and fees for a work
session discussion.
The Administrative Penalties program was created to address properties that had
ongoing property code violations. Instead of citing property owners by issuing County
citations, Administrative Citations would be another option. The Administrative
Penalties program was brought to council for consideration on February 25, 2008. It
was then brought forward as a referendum and passed during the November 2008
elections. The fee schedule was adopted on April 26, 2010, outlining the different
levels of violation and the penalty amounts. The resolution adopted allowed for the
issuance of a citation per day per violation up to a maximum of $2000 per violation. The
fee schedule also allowed for the double of the citation amount for the same violation
within a 24-month period.
The Administrative Penalties program allows for the appeal of citations to a hearing
officer. The hearing officer would then decide if a violation of the city code occurred and
how much of the penalty to impose, dismiss, or stay. To request an appeal, the
appellant would have to submit a written appeal and submit a $50 deposit.
City Council made changes to the Administrative Penalty fees in the 2024 Fee
Schedule, decreasing the fee amounts for Level 1 and Level 2 violations while adding
two new fees for Level 3 violations. The additions to Level 3 violations included a
separate line item for 2-4 unit and 5-plus units. Staff also decreased the maximum
amount per day, per violation, to $1000.
The 2025 fee schedule is reflected below.
Level 1: $50.00
Level 2: $100.00
Level 3: $300 for a single family; $500 for 2–4 units; $1,000 for 5+ units
The maximum fine amount per violation per day cannot exceed $1,000.

A Level 1 violation is a trash bin violation. An example would be a trash bin left at the
curb after the trash pick-up day.
A Level 2 violation is a violation of a city ordinance such as parking on the grass.
Vehicles must be parked on an approved surface such as asphalt, concrete, or on
pavers. The City no longer allows the installation of new class 5 driveways as a
parking surface.
A Level 3 violation is a failure to obtain a permit or license such as a rental license. An
Administrative Citation may be issued for operating without a rental license. If a
property owner fails to obtain a rental license or the rental license has expired, and the
owner does not renew or has not passed inspection, a citation can be issued.
After the initial inspection and depending on the type of code violation, a follow-up date
will be scheduled. The follow-up date can be as short as 3 days, while other types of
violations can be up to 30 days or more. Shorter 3-day follow-up inspections are for
property code violations that can be easily addressed in that time, such as parking on
the grass or a trash can at the curb. Longer follow-up inspection dates are for code
violations such as exterior painting or ground cover repair, which can substantially take
longer to comply with the city code. Staff will continue to follow up until the property is
compliant with the city code.
If the property remains in violation after the second compliance notice and inspection,
an Administrative Citation may be issued. However, prior to the issuance of an
Administrative Citation, staff would attempt to contact the property owner or occupant.
If attempts are unsuccessful, it is staff's discretion whether to issue the citation for the
ongoing property code violation(s). Although it is acceptable to issue a citation after the
second compliance notice and inspection, staff often sends additional notices and
completes additional inspections before issuing an Administrative Citation.
If staff can contact the property owner or occupant, staff will work with the resident on
an acceptable timeframe to correct the code violation(s). If there is progress in
correcting the property code violation, staff will give additional time to bring the property
into compliance. After several attempts, staff will may issue an Administrative Citation.
Inspections will continue until the property is compliant with the city code.
If staff must initiate an abatement for an ongoing property code violation, the cost of the
abatement would be passed onto the property owner plus an additional fee charged
from the City. The abatement fee was decreased in the 2024 fee schedule from $150
to $75. If the abatement fee does not get paid, it will be specially assessed to the
property.
If Administrative Citations and abatement fees are not paid, those costs can be specially
assessed to the Hennepin County property tax rolls. Any fees that will be specially
assessed and rolled over to property taxes, incur a $40 fee and will be charged interest.

The interest rate is set by the City and can be charged at any rate.
Budget Issues:
Although there are revenues budgeted relating to administrative penalties. The
estimates are partially based on past year assessments and current year payments.
These numbers are specifically estimated low to avoid reliance on that revenue.

ADMINISTRATIVE PENALTIES
Section 18-201. PURPOSE. The City Council finds that there is a need for alternative

method of enforcement for certain types of City Code violations. This method of enforcement is
in addition to any other legal remedy that may be pursued for City Code violations.

administrative citation upon belief that a code violation has occurred. The
citation must be issued in person or by first class mail to the person who violated
the code or a responsible person or posted at the property or attached to the motor
vehicle in the case of a vehicular offense. The citation must state the date, time,
and nature of the offense, the identity of the person issuing the citation, the
amount of the scheduled fine, and the manner for paying the fine or appealing the
citation.
B. The persons receiving the citation must either pay the scheduled fine or request a

City of Brooklyn Center 18-5 City Ordinance
Section 18-207. ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING.
A. The City Manager must periodically approve a list of persons, from which the
City Manager or designated agent will randomly select a hearing officer to hear
and determine a matter for which a hearing is requested. A person who has been
issued a citation has the right to request, no later than five days before the date of
the hearing, that the assigned hearing officer be removed from the case. One such
request for each case will be granted automatically by the City Manager or
designated agent. A subsequent request must be directed to the City Manager
who will decide whether the alternate hearing officer can fairly and objectively
review the case. If such a finding is made, the Manager must remove that officer
from the case, and the City Manager or designated agent must assign another
hearing officer. The hearing officer is not a judicial officer but is a public officer
as defined by M.S. Section 609.415. The hearing officer must not be an employee
of the City. The City Manager or designated agent must establish a procedure for
evaluating the competency and neutrality of the hearing officers, including
comments from citizens and City staff.
B. Upon the hearing officer’s own initiative or upon written request of an interested
party demonstrating the need, the officer may arrange for issuance of a subpoena
for the attendance of a witness or the production of books, papers, records or other
documents that are material to the matter being heard. The party requesting the
subpoena is responsible for serving the subpoena in the manner provided for civil
actions and for paying the fees and expenses of any witness. A person served
with a subpoena may file an objection with the hearing officer promptly but no
later than the time specified in the subpoena for compliance. The officer may
cancel or modify the subpoena if it is unreasonable or oppressive. A person who,
without just cause, fails or refuses to attend and testify or to produce the required
documents in obedience to a subpoena is subject to penalties provided by law.
Alternatively, the party requesting the subpoena may seek an order from district
court directing compliance.
C. Notice of the hearing must be served in person or by mail on the person
responsible for the violation at least ten (10) days in advance, unless a shorter
time is accepted by all parties. At the hearing, the parties will have the
opportunity to present testimony and question any witnesses, but strict rules of
evidence do not apply. The hearing officer must record the hearing and receive
testimony and exhibits. The officer must receive and give weight to evidence,
including reliable hearsay evidence that possesses probative value commonly
accepted by reasonable and prudent people in the conduct of their affairs.
Page 12 of 20
City of Brooklyn Center 18-6 City Ordinance
D. The hearing officer has the authority to determine that a violation occurred, to
dismiss a citation, to impose the scheduled fine, and to reduce, or stay all or part
of the scheduled fine either unconditionally or upon compliance with appropriate
conditions. When imposing a penalty for a violation, the hearing officer may
consider any or all of the following factors:
1. The duration of the violation;
2. The frequency or recurrence of the violation;
3. The seriousness of the violation;
4. The history of the violation;
5. The violator’s conduct after issuance of the notice of hearing;
6. The good faith effort by the violator to comply;
7. The economic impact of the penalty on the violator;
8. The impact of the violation upon the community; and
9. Any other factors appropriate to a just result.
E. The hearing officer may exercise discretion to impose a fine for more than one
day of a continuing violation, but only upon a finding that the violation caused a
serious threat of harm to the public health, safety, or welfare or that the accused
intentionally and unreasonably refused to comply with the code requirement. The
hearing officer’s decision and supporting reasons must be in writing.
F. The failure to pay the fine or request a hearing within ten (10) days after the date
of the citation, or the failure to attend the hearing, constitutes a waiver of the
violator’s rights to an administrative hearing and is an admission of the
violation. A hearing officer may waive this result upon good cause shown.
Examples of good cause include: death or incapacitating illness of the accused; a
court order requiring the accused to appear for another hearing at the same time;
and lack of proper service of the citation or notice of the hearing. “Good cause”
does not include forgetfulness and intentional delay. If the accused violator fails
to attend a hearing without good cause the fee for the hearing will not be returned
to the accused.
Page 13 of 20
City of Brooklyn Center 18-7 City Ordinance
G. The decision of the hearing officer is final without any further right of
administrative appeal, except for matters subject to administrative review under
Section 18-208. In a matter subject to administrative review under Section 18-
208, the hearing officer’s decision may be appealed to the City Council by
submitting a request in writing to the City Manager or designated agent within ten
(10) days after the hearing officer’s decision.
Section 18-208. ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW.
A. The hearing officer’s decision in any of the following matters may be appealed by
the person responsible to the City Council for administrative review:
1. An alleged failure to obtain a permit, license, or other approval from the
City Council as required by an ordinance;
2. An alleged violation of a permit, license, other approval, or the conditions
attached to the permit, license, or approval, that was granted by the City
Council; and
3. An alleged violation of regulations governing a person or entity who has
received a license granted by the City Council.
B. The appeal must be heard by the City Council after a notice has been served in
person or by registered mail at least ten (10) days in advance. The parties to the
hearing must have an opportunity to present oral or written arguments regarding
the hearing officer’s decision.
C. The City Council must consider the record, the hearing officer’s decision, and any
additional arguments before making a determination. The Council is not bound
by the hearing officer’s decision, but may adopt all or part of the officer’s
decision. The Council’s decision must be in writing.
D. If the Council makes a finding of a violation, it may impose a civil penalty not
exceeding $2,000 per day per violation, and may consider any or all of the factors
contained in Section 18-207(D). The Council may also reduce, stay, or waive a
fine unconditionally or based on reasonable and appropriate conditions.
E. In addition to imposing a civil penalty, the Council may suspend or revoke any
City issued license, permit, or other approval associated with the violation, if the
procedures in the City Code have been followed.
Section 18-209. JUDICIAL REVIEW. An aggrieved party may obtain judicial review of
the decision of the hearing officer or the City Council in accordance with state law.
Page 14 of 20
City of Brooklyn Center 18-8 City Ordinance
Section 18-210. RECOVERY OF CIVIL PENALTIES.
A. If a civil penalty is not paid within the time specified, it constitutes:
1. A personal obligation of the violator in all situations; and
2 A lien upon the real property upon which the violation occurred if the
property or improvements on the property were the subject of the violation
and the property owner was found responsible for that violation.
B. A lien may be assessed against the property and collected in the same manner as
taxes.
C. A personal obligation may be collected by any appropriate legal means.
D. A late payment fee per unpaid or portion thereof will be assessed per the schedule
of fees.
E. During the time that a civil penalty remains unpaid, no City approval will be
granted for a license, permit, or other City approval sought by the violator or for
property under the violator’s ownership or control.
F. Failure to pay a fine is grounds for suspending, revoking, denying, or not
renewing a license or permit associated with the violation.
Section 18-211. CRIMINAL PENALTIES. The following are misdemeanors,
punishable in accordance with state law:
A. Failure, without good cause, to pay a fine or request a hearing within 10 (ten)
days after issuance of an administrative citation.
B. Failure to pay a fine imposed by a hearing officer within 10 (ten) days after it was
