As Recommended <br />? As Amended <br />? Ordinance on 1s' Reading <br />? Ordinance on 2ntl Reading <br />? Implementing Resolution <br />? Set Public Hearing For <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />Adopt a resolution affirming the outstanding Administrative Citation Fines for Fiscal Year 2012-2013 <br />and authorize the transmittal of uncollected Administrative Citation Fines to the office of Auditor- <br />Controller, County of Orange. <br />Community Preservation's use of Administrative Citations and fines has proven to be an effective <br />tool to encourage abatement of code violations by property owners that create an attractive <br />nuisance, fail to obtain permits, or that harbor illegal activity such as illegal marijuana dispensaries. <br />Property owners are provided a reasonable period of time depending on the severity to abate the <br />violation or the City implements a monetary fine to ensure compliance with the Santa Ana Municipal <br />Code. <br />The City finds it necessary to seek legal recourse in order to recover the uncollected fines associated <br />with these Administrative Citations. This year the outstanding fines for 31 parcels is $14,800 (Exhibit <br />1). The property owner names are provided in Exhibit 2 and a brief description of the type of <br />violations are listed in Exhibit 3. The most effective method of collection is to submit these charges <br />to the office of the County Auditor/Controller in order that they may be placed as a lien on the <br />property tax rolls. Charges must be submitted to the County by their deadline of August 8, 2013. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />The recovered charges will result in an estimated $14,800 in the General Fund Administrative <br />Citations/Community Preservation account (no. 01116002-55600). <br />APPROVED AS TO FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS <br />Jay M.
