Description/Background:
On October 3, 2017 the Council Office gave a presentation on the differences between the criminal model of code enforcement that Sandy City currently utilizes, and an administrative (or civil) model of code enforcement. The Council expressed strong interest in pursuing an administrative model. Administration has been conducting further research to develop the draft ordinance.
The new short-term rental ordinance presupposes an administrative code enforcement model. The short-term rental ordinance included a 60-day deadline for the adoption of the administrative code enforcement amendments. The last Tuesday for the City Council to adopt administrative code enforcement is October 16, 2018.
Fiscal Impact:
The fiscal impact is undetermined. It is anticipated that the revenue from administrative fines will cover the cost of the program including the retention of a qualified hearing officer.
Further action to be taken:
The draft ordinance will be scheduled for final adoption.
Recommended Action and/or Suggested Motion:
Recommendation:
Discussion only. No action required.
