The provisions of this chapter may be enforced by the Code of Ordinance Enforcement Board established in §§ 33.180 et seq. of the Hopkinsville Code of Ordinances, or in the alternative, by the Christian County District Court as a misdemeanor or violation through the powers delegated to the Flood Safety Officer. The decision on where the ordinance will be enforced shall be at the City's discretion. However, §§ 33.180 et seq. shall be construed or interpreted to limit those powers delegated to the Flood Safety Officer. Likewise, nothing contained in this chapter shall be construed or interpreted to limit those powers delegated to a Code Enforcement Officer as created §§ 33.180 et seq. Further, any Flood Safety Officer may also become certified as a Code Enforcement Officer.
