Council approves moving forward with prosecution for alleged permit violations
Summary
Council members instructed staff to pursue court action against a property owner who reportedly ignored a cease-and-desist order and failed to complete a lot alteration permit; city attorney advised fines are available immediately.
Alderman Mike Risko raised concerns about a property owner who continued work after receiving a cease-and-desist order and without completing the required lot alteration permit. Attorney Zollinger told the council, “you can fine him now without going to court,” and the council reached consensus to proceed with prosecution through the court.
Council did not provide a timetable at the Nov. 12 meeting; members noted staff and the city attorney will pursue the appropriate enforcement steps and any fines or court filings would follow the city’s standard enforcement process.
