The provisions of this title shall be enforced by a code enforcement officer and the building and zoning official designated as such by the mayor. The code enforcement officer and building and zoning official shall have the authority to act on behalf of the city, including, but not limited to, the authority to investigate complaints, issue written warnings and citations. They shall have the authority to issue citations on an Idaho uniform citation form pursuant to the Idaho misdemeanor criminal rules and the Idaho infraction rules for violations of the provisions of this chapter. It shall be a separate violation of this title to interfere with a code enforcement officer or the building and zoning official in the performance of his or her duties. In addition to enforcement of this title, the code enforcement officer and/or the building and zoning official shall have the authority to issue citations under any other section of this code or state law as designated elsewhere in this code. The establishment of a code enforcement officer shall not prevent any other official or law enforcement officer from issuing citations for any offense that officer has authority to enforce.
