A. Business Enterprise Committee
(1) RECOMMENDATION FOR ESTABLISHING CIVIL ADMINISTRATIVE
PENALTIES FOR MUNICIPAL CODE VIOLATIONS RELATED TO
PROPERTY MAINTENANCE AND LAND USE VIOLATIONS AS AN
ALTERNATIVE TO PROSECUTING SUCH VIOLATIONS
Recommendation of City Manager:
(a) Direct the City Attorney to amend Title 2 of the Pasadena Municipal
Code, establishing administrative penalties for municipal code violations,
such as property maintenance, land use, and permit violations, as an
alternative to the prosecution process currently used;
(b) Direct staff to amend the General Fee Schedule to include the
administrative fines and penalties for the municipal code violations
attached to the agenda report at $100.00 for each violation.
This agenda report represents an additional component of the
overall Comprehensive City-wide Code Compliance Strategy. It is
important to note that the goal for Code Enforcement is to attain
compliance, rather than fine people. This is by no means a panacea for
all code violations. Rather, it is but one additional tool available to the
inspector so that she/he can attain compliance in an orderly manner.
