Summary
The City of Hopkinsville Code Ordinance Enforcement Board approved default final orders listed on the agenda after staff described the inspection and notice procedures that led to the defaults; the motions passed by voice vote.
Jeffrey Watkins of the Hopkinsville Fire Department and Codes Department described the city’s process for default final orders at the Jan. 13 meeting: inspections or complaint responses are followed by a notice of violation and a 10-day window for non-repeat offenders to correct violations or request more time; cases that remain unaddressed are brought to the board as default final orders.
"After the first inspection was made, a notice of violation was sent... non repeat offenders [were] given 10 days to fix the violation or to get in contact with us and to ask for more time," Watkins said.
A board member moved that the violations listed in the default final orders be affirmed; another seconded the motion and the board approved it by voice vote. The agenda listed fines and noted a $100 administrative fee for default final orders; the board instructed staff to process the orders and collect fines and fees per the agenda.
No additional discussion or announcements followed and the chair adjourned the meeting.
