The purpose of this article is to enable the Town of Weston
to more effectively enforce its Code of Ordinances with the implementation
of fines for violations. This article creates an additional, local
enforcement procedure but not an exclusive alternative. This article
is not intended, and it shall not be construed, as limiting or supplanting
the enforcement remedies existing under the Connecticut General Statutes.
Except where specifically defined herein, all words shall carry
their customary meaning. As used in this article, the following terms
shall have the meanings indicated:
CODE
The Town of Weston Code of Ordinances, as the same may be
amended from time to time by the Board of Selectmen or Town Meeting.
The citation shall inform such person:
A. Of the allegations against him or her and the amount of the fines.
B. That the person has a period of 10 days from the date of the citation
(i.e., the date of hand delivery or the date the citation was mailed)
to make an uncontested payment of the fines.
C. That payments shall be made payable to the Treasurer of the Town
of Weston at Town Hall.
A citation may be issued by the Code Enforcement Officer for
violation of any Code provisions that have been designated specifically
by the Town of Weston for enforcement by citation in the same manner
in which they were adopted.
The fine for each citation under this article shall be the General Penalty amount set forth in §
1-6 of the Code, unless otherwise specified in the Code, and shall be payable to the Treasurer of the Town of Weston for deposit into the general fund of the Town. Each day that any violation continues shall be deemed a separate offense for which a separate citation may be issued.
