| The purpose of the
Civil Citation Appeal Board is to hear appeals regarding the
civil penalty assessed as a result of the civil citation issued
by a city code official. This appeal is not to determine whether
there is a code violation but to determine if:
1. Due notice of the civil
penalty has been issued;
2. If the civil penalty is the correct amount, including whether
the violation is a first, second, or third offense; and
3. Whether there has been compliance or the violation has been
abated within the allotted time period provided by the civil
citation in order to reduce the penalty.
The panel shall consist of three members. The City Manager or
his/her designee shall serve as the Chairperson and shall serve
indefinitely. Two citizens appointed by the City Commission
shall serve one year terms and may be reappointed. Hearings
shall be held in accordance with the Civil Code as adopted under
the Codified Ordinances.
The Civil Citation Appeal Board
may adopt rules that do not conflict with the Civil Code as
adopted under the Codified Ordinances.
