50.05 NUISANCE ABATEMENT.

Whenever any authorized municipal officer finds that a nuisance exists, such officer has the authority to determine on a case-by-case basis whether to utilize the nuisance abatement procedure, or the municipal infraction procedure, or both. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed as requiring a municipal officer to utilize one enforcement procedure over another. All municipal officers can decide, on a case-by-case basis, which enforcement procedure is appropriate for that particular circumstance. Utilizing one enforcement procedure does not prohibit the municipal officer from also utilizing the other.

(Code of Iowa, Sec. 364.12[3h])

(Ord. 1514 - Dec. 19 Supp.)
