Chapter 1.09 ADMINISTRATIVE VIOLATIONS AND ADMINISTRATIVE ENFORCEMENT PROCEDURES

B. An administrative violation may only be adjudicated pursuant to the administrative enforcement procedures established in Sections 1.09.020 through 1.09.049 of this chapter. Each responsible person shall have the right to request an administrative hearing and subsequent judicial review pursuant to the procedures established in Code of Civil Procedure Sections 1094.5 and 1094.6 before the city will take action to collect any administrative penalty. (Ord. 846 § 2 (part), 1996)

1.09.011 Administrative violations are not exclusive remedy.

Nothing in this chapter is intended to limit or prohibit the enforcement of the Folsom Municipal Code or other applicable laws through civil or criminal process where the city attorney has evaluated the criteria set forth in Sections 1.09.014 and 1.09.024, and has determined that enforcement through the administrative enforcement procedures will not result in effective redress, where there have been repeated administrative violations, or where the severity of the violation warrants redress through civil or criminal action. (Ord. 846 § 2 (part), 1996)

1.09.012 Levels of administrative violations.

A. Administrative violations shall be designated by level based upon the potential monetary sanction as follows:

3. Level C violations shall be subject to a fine of $100—$5,000.

4. Level D violations shall be subject to a fine of $100—$7,500.

5. Level E violations shall be subject to a fine of $100—$10,000.

Unless otherwise provided for by ordinance, all administrative violations will be deemed a Level A violation.

B. At the time of issuance of a notice of administrative violation pursuant to Section 1.09.024, the enforcement authority shall evaluate in writing the criteria set forth in Section 1.09.014 to determine the appropriate level of sanction and shall provide written notice to the responsible person of the proposed level of sanction and the reasons therefor as required by Section 1.09.024.

C. Where multiple violations have occurred or are occurring, each violation of the Folsom Municipal Code or other applicable laws shall be subject to a separate sanction.

D. The enforcement authority shall have no power or discretion to void any notice of administrative violation until after a meeting with the enforcement authority’s supervisor as provided for in Section 1.09.033. If a notice of administration violation is voided, the enforcement authority shall provide written justification for such action to the city manager. (Ord. 846 § 2 (part), 1996)

I. The amount it would have cost the responsible person to comply with the law;

J.

Article II. Administrative Enforcement Procedures

1.09.020 Responsibility and authority.

The city manager shall have overall responsibility and authority to enforce the provisions of the Folsom Municipal Code or other applicable laws. The city manager may delegate to department heads or other appropriate subordinates the authority to enforce any of the provisions of the Folsom Municipal Code or other applicable laws which relate to the responsibilities of their department.

(Ord. 846 § 2 (part), 1996)

1.09.021 Purpose of enforcement.

The purpose of administrative enforcement is to obtain fair and uniform compliance with the provisions of the Folsom Municipal Code and other applicable laws. (Ord. 846 § 2 (part), 1996)

1.09.022 Guidelines for exercising administrative enforcement authority.

Administrative enforcement of the provisions of the Folsom Municipal Code and other applicable laws shall be limited to cases where: (1) specific bona fide citizen complaints have been received, (2) where the violation occurs within the context of the city’s oversight and approval of a project, or (3) where the enforcement action is a part of a plan for the uniform enforcement of a provision of the Folsom Municipal Code or other applicable laws within the city. No notice to correct or notice of administrative violation shall be issued pursuant to a citizen complaint until the enforcement authority has conducted an independent investigation and determined that there is good cause to believe that a violation of the Folsom Municipal Code or other applicable laws has occurred. The enforcement authority shall keep a record of all citizen complaints. (Ord. 846 § 2 (part), 1996)

1.09.023 Notice to correct and stop order.

Whenever a violation is discovered which can be corrected and the responsible person has not been issued a notice to correct or notice of administrative violation for the same violation within the past 12 months, the enforcement authority shall issue a notice to correct in order to notify the responsible person of the violation and to order that the violation be corrected within a reasonable time. Unless a different period is specifically set forth in the Folsom Municipal Code, 10 calendar days shall be considered a reasonable time to correct any violation. The notice to correct shall be in writing and shall set forth the facts that constitute the violation, the specific provisions of the law which have been violated, the specific acts required to correct the violation, the time allowed to correct the violation, and the rights to appeal the notice to correct. If the violation is related to a permit, license or other city approval of a project, the notice to correct may be accompanied by a stop order which orders the responsible person to immediately stop any and all work on the project that is subject to the permit, license or approval until the violation is corrected. The notice to correct shall be served in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.09.027. (Ord. 846 § 2 (part), 1996)

1.09.024 Notice of administrative violation.

A notice of administrative violation may be issued under any of the following circumstances:

A. When the violation cannot be corrected;

B. When the violation can be corrected, a notice to correct has been served, and the specified time has passed without adequate correction of the violation;

C. When a stop order has been issued and has not been complied with by the responsible person;

D. When the same violation has been committed by the same responsible person within the past 12 months and a notice to correct or notice of administrative violation has been served on the responsible person within that same 12 month period.

The notice of administrative violation shall be in writing and shall set forth the facts constituting the violation, the specific provisions of the law which have been violated, the proposed sanctions for the violation as specified in Section 1.09.013 of this chapter, and the rights that the responsible person has to appeal the notice of administrative violation. The notice of administrative violation shall be served as provided in Section 1.09.027. (Ord. 846 § 2 (part), 1996)

1.09.025 Right of entry for inspection.

A. Whenever necessary to make an inspection to enforce the Folsom Municipal Code or other applicable laws, or whenever there is reasonable cause to believe there exists a violation of the Folsom Municipal Code or other applicable laws in any building or upon any premises within the jurisdiction of the city, any authorized official of the city may, upon presentation of proper credentials, enter such building or premises at all reasonable times (as that phrase is defined in Section 1.08.020(k) of this title) to inspect the same or to perform any duty imposed by the Folsom Municipal Code or other applicable laws.

B. Except in emergency situations or when consent of the owner and/or occupant of the building or premises to be inspected has been obtained, the city official shall give the owner and/or occupant, if they can be located after reasonable effort, 24 hours written notice of the authorized official’s intention to inspect through a notice of intention to inspect. The notice of intention to inspect shall state that the property owner has the right to refuse entry and, that in the event such entry is refused, inspection may be made only upon issuance of an administrative warrant or search warrant as allowed by law by a duly authorized judge.

C. The written notice of intention to inspect shall be served by certified mail, return receipt requested. Where the authorized official intends to inspect within the next 24-hour period, the written notice shall be hand delivered. The notice of intention to inspect may be left with any person above the age of 18 who identifies himself/herself as an occupant, tenant or owner of the premises. If no one is at the premises at the time of delivery, the notice of intention to inspect shall be posted in 2 conspicuous places on the premises.

D. Prior to entering the premises, the authorized official conducting the inspection shall ascertain from the owner and/or occupant whether the notice of intention to inspect has been received and shall obtain permission for entry. Unless an emergency situation exists, if the owner and/or occupant refuses entry after such a request has been made, or if no actual contact is made with the owner and/or occupant prior to the attempt to enter, the official must seek assistance from any court of competent jurisdiction in obtaining such entry. (Ord. 846 § 2 (part), 1996)

1.09.026 Informal attempts to encourage compliance.

Nothing in this chapter shall be interpreted to preclude an enforcement authority from informally encouraging citizens to comply with the Folsom Municipal Code or other applicable laws. Informal oral or written requests to encourage compliance are encouraged as are attempts to informally negotiate or mediate issues relating to compliance. (Ord. 846 § 2 (part), 1996)

Any notices required under this chapter except a notice of intention to inspect pursuant to Section 1.09.025 shall be served by personal delivery to the responsible person or by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the last known address of the responsible person. If the responsible person is not present for personal delivery, if certified mail is refused, or if the location of a responsible person cannot be determined after diligent efforts, notices may be posted in a conspicuous place on the affected property for a period of 10 calendar days and by mailing first class to the last known address. When there is no affected property, such alternative service shall be accomplished by publication of any notices in a newspaper of general circulation that is most likely to give actual notice to the responsible person 2 times in a 10-day period and by mailing first class to the last known address. (Ord. 846 § 2 (part), 1996)

Any administrative sanctions levied under this chapter may be levied against the juvenile and the parent(s) and/or legal guardian of the juvenile. The parent(s) and/or legal guardian shall have the right to a hearing and judicial review as set forth in this chapter. In addition to any other defenses that may be raised to the administrative violation, the parent(s) or legal guardian may raise a defense that the parent(s) or legal guardian have exercised good faith efforts to control the behavior of the minor but have been unsuccessful in achieving such control. (Ord. 846 § 2 (part), 1996)

1.09.029 Confidentiality in connection with citizen complaints.

The city shall take all reasonable steps to ensure that the identity of any person making a complaint to the city concerning a violation of the Folsom Municipal Code or other applicable laws shall remain confidential. However, no enforcement action shall be taken beyond issuance of a notice of correction unless: (1) the complaining witness agrees to be identified upon request of the responsible person, or (2) the enforcement authority has developed sufficient independent evidence to proceed with a notice of administrative violation. (Ord. 846 § 2 (part), 1996)

Article III. Hearings

1.09.030 Right to a hearing.

Any person charged with an administrative violation who has been served with a notice to correct, stop order or notice of administrative violation and who wishes to contest the violation or the proposed sanction may request a hearing by filing a request for hearing within 10 calendar days of date of the service of the notice to correct, stop order or notice of administrative violation. (Ord. 846 § 2 (part), 1996)

1.09.031 Preservation of status quo pending hearing.

Any stop order issued pursuant to Section 1.09.023 shall remain in effect until the time of the hearing and any subsequent judicial review. Any additional compliance obligations that may be imposed as the result of a notice to correct, stop order or notice of administrative violation shall also be stayed if a timely request for hearing is filed and until a final decision after the hearing is completed unless an emergency situation affecting the safety or preservation of life or property exists. The enforcement authority shall provide written justification for invoking an emergency situation exception under this section to the responsible person within 24 hours of taking the action to correct the emergency situation. (Ord. 846 § 2 (part), 1996)

1.09.032 Request for hearing and fee—Notice of denial of hearing based on untimely appeal.

The request for hearing shall be filed with the city clerk on a form provided by the city clerk and shall include reference to the notice which is being appealed, shall state all of the grounds for the appeal, and shall be accompanied by payment of: (1) an amount not to exceed $500 as security for payment of the proposed administrative sanction; and (2) a hearing fee. The city clerk shall not accept any request for hearing unless it is accompanied by the hearing fee and the required security for administrative sanction. The amount of the hearing fee shall be established from time to time by resolution of the city council. The amount of the security for the administrative sanction shall be the amount of the maximum sanction specified in the notice of violation, or $500, whichever is less. If the city clerk determines that the request for a hearing is untimely, the city clerk shall advise the responsible person of that determination in writing and shall mail a notice of denial of hearing based on untimely appeal to the responsible person by first class mail. The responsible person shall then have the right to judicial review of that determination as provided for in Sections 1.09.050 through 1.09.059 of this chapter. Upon a showing of good cause for the delay in filing a request for hearing, the city clerk may refer the issue of the right to an appeal to an administrative hearing pursuant to the procedures set forth in this chapter. The hearing officer shall determine whether there was good cause for the delay in filing the request for hearing before proceeding to the merits of the appeal. (Ord. 846 § 2 (part), 1996)

1.09.033 Meeting with enforcement authority.

Persons charged with a violation of the Folsom Municipal Code or other applicable laws are encouraged to meet with the enforcement authority and/or the appropriate department head or his/her designee prior to requesting a hearing to seek resolution of the matter. Such a meeting may be requested before or after the request of hearing is filed, but a request for the meeting shall not extend the time for filing the request for hearing. (Ord. 846 § 2 (part), 1996)

1.09.034 Mediation.

With the filing of a request for a hearing or at any time before a hearing, the enforcement authority or a responsible person may request that an impartial mediator be appointed to help resolve the issues relating to the charged violation and/or proposed sanctions. The purpose of the mediation shall be to provide an opportunity for the enforcement authority and a responsible person to reach mutual agreement upon steps to achieve compliance with the Folsom Municipal Code or other applicable laws. If the enforcement authority agrees to mediation, the city clerk shall appoint a volunteer mediator to assist in the resolution of the dispute. The hearing may be postponed until completion of the mediation if both parties agree to the postponement. The city will solicit members of the community to act as volunteer mediators and shall provide them with training in mediation skills. Mediators will not receive compensation but shall be recognized publicly for their service to the community. If the enforcement authority and the responsible person reach agreement on a compliance plan, that agreement shall be placed in writing and shall be signed by the enforcement authority, the responsible person and the mediator. If the terms of the agreement are violated, the enforcement authority shall serve a notice of administrative violation as provided for in Section 1.09.024 of this chapter. (Ord. 846 § 2 (part), 1996)

1.09.038 Ex parte communications.

The hearing officer shall have no communications with any party, any city employee or official, or any potential witness concerning the substance of the case.

If the responsible party does not pay the monetary sanction within the times provided under Section 1.09.060, or if the responsible party fails to pay the required monetary sanction in full within the times provided under Section 1.09.060, any unpaid portion shall bear interest at the rate of 10 percent per annum from the date such payment was due until paid in full and the city may take any of the following actions to collect the monetary sanction.

A. Liens. The amount of the unpaid sanction plus interest plus a reasonable administrative fee established by the city council from time to time to cover the cost of collection constitutes and may be declared a lien on any real property owned by the responsible party within the city.

1. Notice shall be given to the responsible party prior to the recordation of the lien, and shall be served in the same manner as a summons in a civil action pursuant to Article 3, (commencing with Section 415.10) of Chapter 4 of Title 5 of Part 2 of the Code of Civil Procedure.

2. The lien shall attach when the city manager or his/her designee records a lien listing delinquent unpaid sanctions with the Sacramento County recorder’s office. The lien shall specify the amount of the lien, the date of the code violation(s), the date of the final administrative decision, the street address, legal description, and assessor’s parcel number of the parcel on which the lien is imposed and the name and address of the recorded owner of the parcel.

3. In the event that the lien is discharged, released or satisfied, either through payment or foreclosure, notice of the discharge containing the information specified in subsection (A)(1) of this section shall be recorded by the city clerk.

B. Special Assessments. The amount of the unpaid sanction plus interest plus a reasonable administrative fee established by the city council from time to time to cover the cost of collection may be declared a special assessment against any real property owned by the responsible person within the city to the extent the responsible person owns more than one parcel within the city. The city council may impose the special assessment on more than one parcel. However, the amount of the assessment shall not exceed the penalty imposed for the administrative violation. The city manager/or his/her designee may present a resolution to the city council to declare a special assessment, and upon passage and adoption thereof, shall cause a certified copy thereof to be recorded with the Sacramento County recorder’s office. The assessment may then be collected at the same time and in the same manner as ordinary municipal taxes are collected, and shall be subjected to the same penalties and the same procedure and sale in case of delinquency as provided for ordinary municipal taxes.

C. Withholding Entitlements. The city may withhold issuance of licenses, permits and other entitlements to a responsible person until payment is received.

D. Other Enforcement Procedures. The city may take such other actions as are allowed for enforcement of a civil judgment as provided for pursuant to the Enforcement of Judgments Law, California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 680.010, et seq. (Ord. 846 § 2 (part), 1996)
