Council adopts technical code changes and raises infraction cap to $5,000
Summary
Council approved Ordinance 7-24 making technical changes to municipal code language and increasing the maximum civil-penalty cap for infractions to $5,000; council voted 5-0 to pass the ordinance.
Council considered technical amendments to city code that clarified penalty language and adjusted the maximum civil-penalty for certain infractions.
A council speaker noted that the highest infraction penalty the state statute allowed was $5,000 and that the local code language had been adjusted accordingly: "Highest is fraction penalty I could find in the state statute was $5,000. So I moved it from 500 to 5,000," the speaker said. Council moved to adopt Ordinance 7-24, the motion was seconded, and the ordinance passed on a 5-0 vote.
The speaker said misdemeanor penalties were not changed; the ordinance is primarily a technical update to align local penalty language with state statutory caps. No amendments were proposed during the meeting.
