Title
Ordinance amending Chapter 94: Public Nuisances, of the Lake County Code of Ordinances to expand available pre-violation notice options for enforcement staff.
Staff Summary
• Currently, certain violation types in the Public Nuisance Ordinance require an initial inspection and the issuance of an official warning ticket.
• The Planning, Building & Development Department presented scenarios to the committee at the March, 2016 committee meeting in which an initial inspection and warning ticket is unnecessary burdensome and inefficient.
• Staff worked with the State’s Attorney’s Office on proposed amendments to the Ordinance that gives the department the option to dispense with the pre-violation inspection and ticket requirement and allows the use of such process on a discretionary basis, by administrative policy.
