The city manager and/or designated representative(s) shall have the duty and authority to enforce the La Cañada Flintridge municipal code and zoning ordinance; and are further authorized and directed, pursuant to Section 836.5 of the California Penal Code and Section 1.04.010 of the La Cañada Flintridge municipal code, to investigate violations, to arrest persons, to prepare, issue and deliver to any such arrested person written notice to appear in court, and to release such person from custody, upon receiving his or her written promise to appear in court for any violation or violations of these provisions of the La Cañada Flintridge municipal code, zoning ordinance and of state law.
(Ord. 360 § 1, 2006)
Nothing in this chapter is intended to, or shall operate to change, or shall have the effect of changing, the status of the city manager, community development director, code enforcement officers, or other designated employees from public or miscellaneous employees of the city of La Cañada Flintridge to an individual peace officer or safety member for purposes of retirement, workers' compensation or similar injury or death benefits, or any other employee benefits to which the officer or employee would not have been entitled to as a public employee prior to adoption of this chapter.
(Ord. 360 § 1, 2006)
There is imposed, upon each person who receives a notice of violation of any of the above-referenced provisions of the municipal code, zoning ordinance or state law, an inspection fee, in such amounts as set from time to time by resolution of the city council, which may be assessed for each inspection or reinspection conducted pursuant to this chapter. Any such initial inspection fee and first reinspection fee shall be waived and shall not be imposed, when the particular violation for which an initial inspection and first reinspection is conducted is fully abated and corrected within the time and manner specified in the notice of violation. This fee is intended to provide full cost recovery for administrative and operational costs, based on actual time expended for unnecessary inspections, and not for enforcement of the law. Any fees imposed shall be separate and apart from any fines or penalties imposed for violation of the law. The amount of any fee imposed shall be deemed a civil debt due and owing to the city of La Cañada Flintridge. For purposes of this subsection, the term "initial inspection" shall mean any inspection of the premises which results in the issuance of a notice of violation of any of the above-referenced provisions of the municipal code, zoning ordinance or state law.
