PROPOSED Code Enforcement Ordinance -- 2nd Reading

Dear City Council-
Attached for your information and review is the revised, proposed Code Enforcement Ordinance
which is to be considered at the May 18, 2021, City Council meeting for second reading. The
substantive changes are in the last page — page 3. Language annotated ':.�����[�=i-��i>7 are proposed
amendments for consideration at the final (2�d reading) public hearing, which were made since first
reading on 5/5/202.
City Council's comments, from the May 5, 2021 first reading, have been incorporated into the
attached draft. For instance, the language concerning the city attorney's ability to file foreclosure
actions without prior city Council approval has been deleted.
The primary outstanding change to the Ordinance is as follows: ���a�a ���do�ared �+����w� ,���._� �����������

.n x�: _ , � . _
this amendment, City Council would no longer be in the position of an appellate body considering the
appeals from the special magistrate' order for fine reduction.
As previously discussed, City Council cannot consider a fine reduction appeal and change the
Special Master's fine reduction order unless it reviews the entire record (pictures, code enforcement
officers reports, sworn testimony from code enforcement officer and property owner, etc.) as did the
Special Master. Under that statute (chapter 162, Florida statutes), appeals from the special master
order can and should go straight to the circuit court, and not the City Council.
Should you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thanks.
