Private property owners should be treated fairly and should not be unconstitutionally deprived of real property interests without just compensation. This chapter shall be construed to provide for the objective and fair review of claims by persons asserting deprivation of vested real property rights or interests, without just compensation. Nothing contained in this chapter shall be construed to limit the ability of the city to lawfully fulfill its duties and functions. (Ord. 1-95 § 1, 1995)
Any owner of private real property or a real property right who claims there has been an unconstitutional taking of their property, without just compensation, shall petition for a review of a final decision of any city officer, employee, board, commission, or the council. Consistent with the separation of powers which is integral to the city's form of government, the council designates the mayor to hear and consider such petitions. The mayor may delegate such responsibility to another individual. (Ord. 1-95 § 1, 1995)
