Subd. 1. Purpose.
The purpose of this section is to protect the public safety, health and welfare, and to prevent and abate repeat service response calls by the city to the same property or location for nuisance conduct, as defined herein, which prevent police or public safety services to other residents of the city. It is the intent of the city by the adoption of this section to impose and collect service call fees from the owner or occupant, or both, of property to which city officials must repeatedly respond for any repeat nuisance event or activity that generates extraordinary costs to the city. The repeat nuisance service call fee is intended to cover that cost over and above the cost of providing normal law or code enforcement services and police protection city-wide. It is not the City’s intent to limit the rights of individuals to request police assistance for bona fide emergencies and victim-related crimes, including but not limited to calls related to domestic, spousal, or child abuse. The city shall not impose a repeat nuisance service call fee against an owner or occupant for a police response relating to such bona fide calls. (Amended, Ord. No. 21-12)
Subd. 2. Scope and application.
This section applies to all owners and occupants of private property which is the subject or location of the repeat nuisance service call by the city. This section applies to any repeat nuisance service call made by a city of Robbinsdale peace officer; part-time peace officer; community service officer; and/or code enforcement officers. (Amended, Ord. No. 21-12)
