   (A)   The City Manager or his or her designee shall employ or contract an inspector, and assistants, if necessary, whose duty it shall be to enforce the provisions of this chapter.
   (B)   The Inspector shall have the authority to issue any orders or directives required to carry out the intent and purpose of this chapter and its particular provisions. Failure of any person to comply with any such order or directive shall constitute a violation of this chapter.
   (C)   The Inspector shall have authority to enter and inspect any premises covered by the provisions of this chapter to determine compliance with the provisions of this chapter. Failure of any person to permit access to the Inspector shall constitute a violation of this chapter.
   (D)   The Inspector shall have the authority to request and receive any records, logs, reports, and the like relating to the status or condition of any well or project or the appurtenances thereof within the city. The permittee shall provide the requested records, logs, reports, or other document within seven days of the request or such shorter period of time deemed necessary by the Inspector and set forth in the request. This material shall remain confidential unless necessary as evidence of the violation of any of the provisions of this chapter. Failure of any person to provide any such requested material shall be deemed a violation of this chapter.
   (E)   The City Council may, from time to time, adopt, amend, and make public rules and regulations for the administration of these regulations. These regulations may be enlarged or amended by the City Council after public hearing, due notice of which shall be given as required by law.
   (F)   The City Manager or his or her designee may enforce only these regulations and will not inspect for or enforce any state or federal statutes, rules, or regulations which apply to the drilling, operation and production, storing, transportation, and pipeline gathering or transmission of oil, gas, and other hydrocarbon substances within the corporate limits of this city. This shall not, however, be interpreted as to prohibit the Community Development Director from reporting any possible state or federal violations that are either observed or otherwise reported to the appropriate regulating authority.
