TITLE:
Receive Report and Consider Introducing by Title Only and Waiving the First Reading of Ordinance 982-2022 Repealing and Replacing Title 1 (General Provisions) of the Fort Bragg Municipal Code ISSUE:
The Fort Bragg Municipal Code contains an accumulation of ordinances that govern personal and business conduct within the City. Title 1 of the municipal code contains general provisions that relate to enforcement of City ordinances and provide procedures for administrative hearings and appeals. The last update to Title 1 of the Fort Bragg Municipal Code (FBMC) was over ten years ago. Staff initiated a review of Title 1 to ensure that the City remains in alignment with State regulations.
ANALYSIS:
Staff summarized the proposed changes in a staff report to City Council on September 12, 2022 and received recommendations for language in section 1.08.010 concerning appeals for administrative decisions and administrative citations. After discussion, Council directed staff to leave the language to only allow Responsible Parties the ability to appeal administrative decisions and administrative citations.
See Attachment 2 for a table summarizing the changes to Title 1.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Staff recommends introducing Ordinance 982-2022 by title only and waiving further reading of the text.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION:
Make revisions and consider introduction of the ordinance at a later date.
FISCAL IMPACT:
This ordinance will establish a penalty system that is consistent with State law and may result in additional penalties being paid to the City. However, it is not anticipated that penalties imposed and collected under this ordinance will result in a net gain of revenue to the City given the many costs associated with enforcement.
GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS IMPACT:
This ordinance has no effect on greenhouse gas emissions.
CONSISTENCY:
The adoption of this ordinance is consistent with established practices and regulations set forth by the State.
IMPLEMENTATION/TIMEFRAMES:
With introduction of the Ordinance on September 26, 2022 and adoption on October 11, 2022, the Ordinance would become effective November 10, 2022.
