(A) Administrative notice.
(1) Upon the first violation, the city may issue an administrative notice to the violator. The city will deliver the administrative notice to the violator in person or by regular mail. The violator will have ten calendar days to correct the violation after issuance of the administrative notice.
(2) If the violator is making a good faith attempt to remedy the violation, the city may grant an extension, the length of which must be agreed upon in writing between the city and the violator. The city is not required to give such notice and the city, in its sole discretion, may determine that the violation needs no notice since it is presumed that the public is clearly on notice that the conduct is in violation of this code. In such cases, the city shall immediately issue the administrative citation as set forth in division (B) below.
(B) Administrative citation. If the violator fails to correct the violation within the time period provided in the administrative notice, the city may issue an administrative citation. The city must issue the citation to the violator in person or by certified and regular mail. In the case of a vehicular offense, the citation may be attached to the motor vehicle. The citation must state the date, time, and nature of the offense, the name of the issuing officer, the amount of the scheduled fine, and the manner for paying the fine or appealing the citation.
(C) Payment. The violator must either pay the scheduled fine or request a hearing within seven days after issuance of the citation. Penalties for failure to correct the violation or late payment of the fine may be imposed as set forth in §§ 10.075 to 10.079. The city may issue a second citation or take other legal action to achieve compliance with the ordinances.
