The city hereby creates a supplemental and additional method of enforcing its codes and ordinances by the issuance of citations for violation of city codes or ordinances.

For the purpose of this chapter, the following definitions shall apply unless the context clearly indicates or requires a different meaning.
CITY. The City of Lake Mary.
CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICER. Any employee or agent of the city who has been designated by the city to enforce the city's codes and ordinances, the fire marshall, or any law enforcement officer of the city.
PERSON. Individuals, associations, joint ventures, partnerships, corporations and/or any other groups or combinations.

The City Manager is authorized to designate certain city employees or agents as code enforcement officers. The training and qualifications of the employees or agents designated as code enforcement officers shall be determined by the City Manager. Designation as a code enforcement officer does not provide the code enforcement officer with the power to arrest or subject the code enforcement officer to the provisions of F.S. §§ 943.085 - 943.255.
(Ord. 751, passed 4-20-95)
All code enforcement officers are authorized to issue a citation to a person when, based upon personal investigation, the code enforcement officer has reasonable cause to believe that the person has committed a civil infraction in violation of a city code or ordinance and that the county court will hear the charge.
(Ord. 751, passed 4-20-95)
