The City may issue an Administrative Citation to a Responsible Person for Municipal Code or applicable state code violation(s) by either personal service or mail in the following manner:
A. Personal Service. The Enforcement Officer shall attempt to locate and personally serve the Responsible Person and obtain the signature of the Responsible Person on the Administrative Citation. If a Responsible Person refuses to sign the Administrative Citation, the failure or refusal to sign shall not affect the validity of the Administrative Citation or of subsequent proceedings. Personal service shall become effective upon delivery.
B. Service of Citation by Mail. The City shall mail the Administrative Citation to the Responsible Person by certified mail, return receipt requested and by regular, first-class mail. Service by mail shall become effective five days from the date of deposit in the U.S. Mail.
C. Posting of Notice as a Courtesy. The City may post the Administrative Citation on any real property within the City in which the Enforcement Officer has knowledge that the Responsible Person has a legal interest. The City shall deem such posting a courtesy and failure to post shall not constitute a failure of notice.
