2009-48 This ordinance authorizes the Code Enforcement Division to offer alleged violators a stipulation when the Code provides a recommended penalty for an offense. Initially, the procedure is intended to be used for irrigation violations and for the proposed animal control ordinance amendment. The ordinance also changes the notice requirement for Code Enforcement actions from 15 to 10 days to conform to state statutes.
2009-47 The purpose of this ordinance is to repeal and replace in its entirety Chapter 4, Lake County Code, entitled Animals. The replacement Chapter clarifies administrative provisions and provides more updated definitions and sections. The replacement Chapter also provides enhanced enforcement procedures, allowing for more efficient and convenient enforcement by proceeding through the Lake County Code Enforcement Special Master instead of the County court system. The replacement Chapter recommends enhanced penalties for violations of this Chapter where damage, severe injury, or death results.
