An alleged violator may appeal the Valier Town Council's decision in writing via certified mail to the Valier Town Council within ten (10) days of the Valier Town Council's final decision regarding.
A. A determination that a community decay violation exists;
B. Rejection of a corrective action plan; or
C. A fine for noncompliance.
The Town Council shall hold a hearing within forty-five (45) days from the date that the appeal was received. The Town Council shall, in writing, affirm, modify, or withdrawal the Town's decision within thirty (30) days after the hearing. Once an appeal for a hearing has been made, the Town's decision shall be stayed until the Town Council has held the hearing and affirmed modification or withdrawn the determination of the Town. The Town Council will issue an order of the Town Council's findings signed by the Mayor. The order shall include what, if any, corrective actions are required, the time period for the corrective actions, and that the Town of Valier is authorized to remedy the violation and assess costs to the responsible party.
If a violator fails to resolve a violation upon order of the Town Council, the Town shall be authorized to remedy the violation, and assess costs to the property owner, manager, or lessee, or other responsible party. In the event that the violator does not appeal the Town Council's decision and fails to resolve the violation, the Town will bring the matter before the Town Council for authorization to complete the corrective action, and assess costs to the property owner, manager or lessee, or other responsible party. If the assessment is not paid, it shall become a lien on the property and may be enforced as a nonpayment of property taxes. (Ord. 193, 5-13-2024)
