The City Council finds that there is a need to create and maintain a funding source for the administration and operation of code enforcement activities in the city. In order to effectively administer such activities as nuisance abatement, inspections and re-inspections, imposition of liens and special assessments on real property, administrative hearings related thereto, departmental code enforcement cost reimbursement, and other activities to enhance and improve code enforcement for the public safety and welfare, the establishment of a code enforcement civil penalties and cost recovery fund is essential.
