8/9/99 <br /> - ORIGINAL <br /> <br /> ORDINANCE NO. 2179 <br /> <br /> ORDINANCE ADDING ARTICLES II AND III TO CHAPTER 1 TO THE CODE <br /> OF THE CITY OF REDWOOD CITY PROVIDING FOR ADMINISTRATIVE <br /> CITATIONS. PENALTIES AND REMEDIES FOR COMPLIANCE AND <br /> ADMINISTRATIVE ORDERS, RESPECTIVELY <br /> <br /> THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDWOOD CITY DOES ORDAIN AS <br />FOLLOWS: <br /> <br /> Section I. Findings. <br /> <br /> The Council finds that <br /> <br /> (a) The public interest requires the availability of administrative methods for <br />enforcement of the requirements of this code as an alternative to either criminal or civil <br />proceedings within the court system. <br /> <br /> (b) Administrative citations and administrative compliance hearing processes <br />afford relatively informal, inexpensive, expeditious, and appropriate procedures for <br />dispute resolutions involving matters of local concern. <br /> <br /> (c) The public interest requires the capability to impose administrative penalties <br />authorized under California Government Code Section 53069.4 as an alternative to <br />criminal penalties or civil abatement remedies. Administrative penalties are necessary <br />and appropriate sanctions for conduct violative of City laws needed to protect the <br />health, safety, and general welfare of the public, and they may be effective in inducing <br />compliance without invoking the more formal, expensive, and time consuming <br />processes of the court system. <br /> <br />Ord-067 ] <br />flshlshlRC/Council <br />:FXS:rg <br />1/99:06/21/99r <br />06/23/99 2:00 PM <br />07/16/99r <br /> <br /> <br />
