The remedies provided in this Title Six are not exclusive or in lieu of other rights and remedies that the City may have.

(Ord. 1190. Passed 8-28-00.)
In addition to any other penalties set forth in this Title Six, and the remedy of specific performance which may be enforced in a court of competent jurisdiction, the City Manager may assess an additional penalty of civil forfeiture for failure to comply with any provision of this Title Six. Said penalty shall be a monetary sum, payable to the City, in the amount of five hundred dollars ($500.00) per twenty-four (24) hour day of violation and any subsequent portion of a day less than twenty four (24) hours in length. Prior to assessing said penalty, the City Manager shall provide written notice to the Provider detailing the failure to comply with a specific provision of this Title Six. Said notice shall indicate that said penalty shall be assessed in fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of service of the notice if compliance is not achieved. If a Provider desires to challenge said penalty, Provider shall request a hearing before the City Manager within ten (10) days of service of the notice. Said hearing shall be held within thirty (30) days of the Provider’s request. If Provider requests such hearing before the City Manager, said penalty shall be temporarily suspended. However, if, after the hearing, the City Manager determines that Provider failed to comply with the specific provision of this Title referenced in the notice, said penalty shall be assessed starting fifteen (15) calendar days after service of the notice referenced in this Chapter and continuing for each day thereafter until compliance is achieved. The determination of the City Manager shall be final.
