The
Code Enforcement Officer for the Village of McGraw shall be empowered
to issue appearance tickets for violations of local laws of the Village
of McGraw.
The
Code Enforcement Officer shall, within the confines of the law, investigate
all complaints of code violations within the Village and shall investigate
code violations that come under the officer's own observation.
Upon completing an investigation, the Code Enforcement Officer shall
issue a letter of violation and relay a findings document to the Village
Board of Trustees.
The letter of violation shall consist of an explanation of the alleged
violation and a request for the property owner to take corrective
action within 14 days, and shall invite the property owner to the
next scheduled Village Board Meeting for an opportunity to be heard.
Findings relayed to the Village Board of Trustees shall include the
name and address of the alleged violator, the section of the code
violated, a detailed description of the problem, photographic evidence,
a copy of the letter of violation sent, and a statement of whether
or not the violation was corrected.
The Village Board shall then, based upon the findings, having given
the property owner the opportunity to be heard and to come into compliance
and the problem having failed to be corrected within a time specified
by the Village Board, cause a court appearance ticket to be issued
by the Village Attorney.
