Administrative enforcement procedures established pursuant to this chapter are intended to provide the city with an informal, cost-effective and more efficient alternative to criminal prosecution of civil litigation for certain violations of the city code. The city retains the right to enforce provisions of this code by bringing criminal charges or commencing civil litigation in any case where the city determines it is appropriate or necessary, but finds that an administrative process is beneficial to the residents of the city and finds that such a process is a legitimate and necessary alternative method of enforcement of code violations.
