Subcommittee directs law department to map legal authority and return in four weeks
Summary
The subcommittee asked the law department to provide a memo on fine authority, cross-department ticketing and collection options, and scheduled a follow-up meeting in about four weeks to review findings.
At the close of the meeting the Chair summarized next steps: the law department was asked to prepare a written memo outlining the legal authority for fines across departments, the maximum penalties available under city ordinances and relevant state code, and practical collection options. The chair said he expected the law department to be "available to really dig up and dig in into the fines" and to present the information at the next meeting.
Staff recorded that the housing, zoning and code departments will continue consolidating cases for court action and will coordinate with collectors and the law department on payment and lien strategies. The chair set a follow-up subcommittee meeting in about four weeks to review the memo and consider policy or ordinance changes informed by the law department's findings.
