Council Member 6rennan advised there w�ere only 54 homes on canals, a�d most of the
ordinanoe referned to general dockage a�! piers, and did nat address the width of a
dodc on a canal or how far it could be out into the canal. She had ask� Fire Ch�f
Weinand fio c�me up with better language that could be enforoed p�operly and when �
someone was putting in a new dodc they would knc�nr exacc;tlly what they could do.
James We'rnand, Fire Chief, e�lained there v�re permitting prc�tems because the
c�ode said on canal� 85 feet or less, the lifts must be attached to the seawall, but one
c�utd see from the pictures in his presentation that they were rrot. None of the dodcs on
the four canals within the Village were over 85 feet; ther�efote, none of tt�e lifts should t�
attached to docks, or the code could be changed to bring people irrto �onform�nce. He
suggested ianguage that protrusions, whether, doGcs, lifts, or mooring pilings, take up
no more than 209� of the canal, and explained that DEP allowed them to #ake up 25°10
of the canal. Currentiy there were many people wanting permits, which could not be
issued because of the c�de. Chief Weinand explained people on canals did not have
riparian rights, only those on the river had those righis. Council Member Bren�an
comme�ted there had been confusion regarding the w�dth of a dock, #hat a lift or dock
could only be a#'f the seawatl, and discussed mooring pilings. Chief Weinand
cx�mmented nathing in the c�de addressed he+ght or �tors. Councii Member
Brennan stated no sailboals could get under the bridge. Chief Weinand e�lained there
were not as many properkies which exc�eeded 20% as there were in non-c�nformance,
and the 20°Yo would bring the majority irrto compfiance. The one that would remain non-
confortning would remain until repaired or sold. Discussion ensued. Chief Weinand
advised that for an 85-foot lot, one would have 17 fegt aff the property lines. �ce
Mayor AreRa aommented no one could m�r on the outside of a baat lift that was
outside the dock. He suggested ptacing in the c�de that boafis can�ot be anchored or

moor�ed. Attomey Davis commented the 2011 language was in conformance with State
statutes said no person coe�� anchor, moor, or park arry iive-aboarcl vesse! in R-1 or R-
1-A in exoess of 72 hours uniess it is located in an approved mooring area or dock and �
with the consent of the owner. He advised that ttte V'tllage could not regulate live-
almard boafis. V'u� Mayor Arena commented 17 fe�t would keep baa#s under control
on the canais unless one decided to moor. Attomey Davis advised the exis�ng c�de
was good for the river but impossible to apply to the canats.
Mayor Patemo cx�nfiirmed a survey would be required, and suggested going from the
property line sinoe that v�au� be fair to everyone.
Public C�nment
Frank D'Ambra fe� a 25-foot setback was excessive; that 15-20 feet was plenty to tum
boats around. Chief Weinand e�lained 25 feet was for those on the river who had
riparian rights, and ca�als did not have riparian rights.
Chief Weinand commented Councit's decision was needed on number of dodcs allowed
for dift'erent properties. Attorney Davis indicated r�uirements shoutd be set up for
docks on canals and separafie requiremeMs fnr docks on the river. If Council wanted to
a�low a comer property on the canal to have muttiple docks, that could be done, so long
as the property ovmer complied with all the canal requireme�ts. Mayor Patemo
suggested along the sides of the canal to allow i 7 feet from the property line for a dock
and pilings, and one dock per water site. Comer properdes could have mor�e #han one
dock. Spec'rfic properties were disc�ssed. Chisf Weinand ca�nment�:d he would like fio
look at i# as no mone than 25 feet from the property line.s and, anything inside there no
more than 2096 out. Multiple boats would be aAow�sd, so long as they befonged to the
owner of the t�use and not to a rerri�r.
Filomena Lucia, 12 Tradewinds, asked if it was okay to put a I�ft on walfs, �nd was told
as long as it was within the allowed space.
Cantilevered 1'�'ts v�re discussed, sinoe the boat wrould take up more space when
lowered into the water. Chief Weinand indic�ted he wanted to address heights ar�l
markings of pilings, and figt�ting. Mayor Patemo sugg�ted reflector tape should be
required around the pilings. Council Member Brennan advised she w�ould vote against
lights because they would shine ir�to horr�s.
2 Discuasion on Set�backs tor Residenlial Conatru�tion
Council Member Brennan explained there are hom�nmers tearing down the ofd homes
and replaang with much larger structur�es Eaves are encroaching, leaving only 5 feet
betw�een the homes. Viilage Attomey Davis advised that Palm Beach Shores is an
examp� of a c�mmunity which had these issues. They hired a planning oonsuttant and
sperrt a year coming up with a new oode for single family homes that addnessed all the
setbadcs, lot coverage and height that impacts one another. They ended up with a

using #he A-weighting network. The unit of ineasurement is the dB(A).
Ambient noase means the all-encompassing noise associated with a given
environment, being usually a.composite of sounds from many sources, near and far.
Bel is a unit of level when the base of logarithm is ten. Use of the bel is restricted
to levels of quantities proportional to power.
Decibel is one-tenth of a bel and is a unit of level when the base of the logarithm
is the ten root of ten, and the quantities concerned are proportional to power.
Emergency work means work made necessary to restore properiy to a safe
condition following a public calamity or work r�uired to pmtect persons or property

Feriod of a periodic quantity means the smallest increment of time for which the
function repeats itself.
Periodic quantiry means an oscillating quantity, the values of which recur for
equat increments.
Sound level meter means an instrument including a microphone, an amplifier, an
output meter, and fi�equency weighting networks for the measurement of naise and sound
levels in a specified manner.
Sourrd pressure level, in decibels of sound, is 20 times the logarithm to the base
10 of the mtio of the pressure of this sound to the reference pressure, which reference
pressure must be explicitly stated.

�Eo Code Compliance and Community Appearance
In response to concerns regarding general community appearance and the Vitlage's
code compliance process which have been raised by members of fihe Village Council,
and vuith direction from the Village Manager, I have prepared this Memorandum to o�fer
explanations and suggesfions regarding these �opics. Firsf is an overview of fihe
Vitlage's code compliance processes. Second i� a review of fin�o scholarly articles that
focus on improving compliance with local codes. l'hird are suggestions v�rhich could be
implemented to expedi�e the Village's compliance process, and enhance general
community appearance.
�lo��d�'s s#atu�ory �ode �nfo�ce��n� p��c�ss
Chapter 162, Flo► Sfatutes, provides a uni�orm code enforcement process fior
locai goverr�ment. Most local (municipa! and county) jurisdi�tion, utilize fihis uniform
process, which provides fhat code compliance proceedings are to be heard by a cc�de
enforcement board or special magistrate. The fundamental elemenfis of this process
require the provision of due process, compliance with �he essenfiial requirerr�ents of law,
and the presence of competenf, substantial evidence to support the findings of the
special magistrafie.
The enforcement procedure and notice requirements fior local code enforcemenf
proceedings are found afi sections 162.06 �nd 162.12, Florida Stafufes. These sections
provide that once a"violafiion of the codes is found, �he code inspector shall notify fihe
viol�tor and give him or her a re�sonable fime to cure the violation (emphasis added)".
�"he firsf notice of a violation may be provided by certified mail� to the address listed in
fihe counfy proper�y appraiser's database. The nofiice should describe fhe violation and
give the viola4or a reasonab{e oppor�unity �o corree� the violafion. It should also advise

the violator that a failure to comply w�in the time provided may cesuit in the case being
preser�ted to the special magistrdte who may levy fines against the property.
If notic� is sent by cer 't�fied mail and is not signed as rec�iving within 30 days
after the pastnnark� date, notic� may be effected via posting on the subject property
and at �ilage Hall. Al�eematively, notice may be efFectu�ted via hand delivery at the
violator's usual residence with any person that resides there and is over fifteen years of
age, or leaving the violation with the mana�qe�r of a commercial busin�s. Mofice by
posfing may oax�r simu�taneous withh attempts to provide nofice via cerafied maii or
hand delivery. Proper natice, coupled w�th an opportun'�ty to be h�rd by the decision-
making authority consfitute due process for purpo�es of cAde c�mpliance proceedings.
The case may be heard by the speaal magistrate if the violati�on is not remedied
as provided in the notice of violation. Noticce of the hearing before the special
magisb�ate must be provided to the violator in the same manner as the n� of
violation.
At the hearing� the viotation is presenfied to the special m�gistrate. The
govemment presents its evidence �nd the respondent is likewise g'iven an opportunity
to present a defense. At the c:onclusion of the hearing, the magistrate wili issue findings
of fa�t and an orcter granting �e proper relief. Typically, this order wiil include a noti�
that it must be complied withh by a specified date, and wiil desc�ibe that a fine may be
imposed � the order is not compiied wii� by the date speafied. If ifie order is not
compfied with by the set time, the special magistrate may onder the violator to pay a fine
for each day the violafion continues past the date set-out in the order.
�i9a,q� �f Tequ�t�'s code enforcem�nt proce�s
- The Viliage util'�zes the uniform method of code compliance described abo�re.
� Our code complianc� proc.�ess is c�dified at Chapter• 2, Articte IV of the Vitiage Code of
Ordinanoes. !n addition, prior to implementing the above process, violators are issued a
"friendly nofiice of violation", which provides a short time for the violator to achieve
c�mpliance, befoce being issuing the formal noticce of violation. The fonnat �tice of
violation gives the violmtor a reasonabie time to achieve compiianc� and provides notice
to the violator that the Village may bring the matter to 4he speciai magistrate �
compliance is not achieved within the tirne provided.
If the violation is not remedied in the reasonable time provided in i�e formal
notice of viola6on, as determin� by the code compliance a�ic�r, a notic� of hearing is
served on the violator as desc,ribed above. �Ilage �de complianoe hearings are held
on the fourth Thursday of each month.
Al�erna�� meghocis of cod� en�orcem� .
Section 162.The law aitows a local govemment to create its owm a�emate
method of code enforcement which d"�ffers from the uniform method descri� above.
However, any process for enforcJng locai codes must contain the fundamental elemerrts
noted above (the provision of due process, compliance writh the essential requiremer�ts
of law, and #he presence of competent, subst�antiai evidence to support the findings o#
the special magistrate). Sinc� the uniform method of code enforcement utilized by the
Villaoge has been judicialiy testa! and approved in terms of these fundamentai elements,
� is recommended that the process remain as currentiy adopted.
Scholar9y rr�e� on improvong cornptiance cod� �nforcement
Code violations and code comptiar�ce are a widespread probtem that receives
little attention. The article tha# vuas reviewed for this memo includes notes that °until the
2
study reported in this article, no systemic nafionwide rese�arch ha[d] examined
compiiance with building and development managemer�t c�des.°
The tradifiional view of code en�ment is that community aesthetics suf�er
when local govemment lacks capacity to compel c�de complianoe by idenfifying
viok�tions and pr�ecufing violators. This view is knovm as systemic c�de en#orc:e�nent
TF� altemative perspe�tive is that code compliance can be main�ined through creating
an environment where violations are less likely to ocxur. The lat�er vi�uv is achieved by a
facil'�afi�e code errforcement phil�ophy; reward good bet�avior and punish the kno�nring
and repeat offenders. Administrators must decide arhich of these views to emphasize
when crafting a succx�essful c�ale enforcement program.
Systematic c�de e�forcement emphasizes deterrence via enforc:ement as the
method to achieve voluntary comptianc�. Proponents of systematic c�ode er�forcemerrt
feel compliance oc�urs only when the c�st of disobeying the law excxeds the cost of
noncompliance; a market approad�. Deterrence is achieved through an ingrained desire
to comply with tocal code due to the financial costs of complianoe.
Faalita�ve code er�forcement does not adopt the market approach of systematic
code er�forcement. Research shows that a market approach may not be best.
Noncompliance is often a resu� of ignoranoe of the code, negiigence, incompetence,
and principted disagreement with the requirernents of ordinanc:�s and permits?
Proponents of faalitative code enfo�c:ement train inspectors to use cooperative
approaches to deal vvith code er�forcement violations. These approaches include: using
flexible guidelines when assessing compliance; explaining the sections of code violated
to violators, advising how to fix the violations, and bargaining with viotators to agree on
a compliance schedule; using incentives to rewmrd violators that make an honest effort
to comply; and provicling technicai assistance in ir�terpre#ing the code to residents and
businesses.
1n ►m roving Compliance With Regulations: Choices and Outcomes For Local
Govemmen�, Burby et al. gathered and analyzed data on c�mpliance with buitding
codes to determine whether systemic code enforcement, facilitative code enforcement,
or a mix of both yielded higher levels of compliance. Burby et al. also analyzed v�rhich
policy deasions and actions created higher levels of code compliance. The study was
based on an empirical analysis of data from 99Q loc�l govemments of alt sizes.
In evaluating enforcement philosophies, Burby et ai. determined �at a faciiitative
approach was most important to cr�ating an environment of voluntary complianc:e. This
approach wras meaningless without proacfiive agency leadership and adequate legal
capacity. Proactive leadership artd legat support signated that locai go�rnmerrt was
serious about c�de er�forcement.
Effecfive legal support did not invotve throwing the book at �ioiators; � irnohred a
counselor tha# sta#F can tum to and ask when to go easy on violators and when to refer
cases for prosecution. Loc�l code inspectors must be able to exercise discretion so
viol�tors can engage in a dialogue with inspectors to understand how itie c�de is
appl"ied to the context of their property. When discretion is not given to inspectors,
violators are less likely to understand the rafionale behind the code and willingly compiy.
Although code is written to be unambiguous and °one size fits all°, this not aNnrays the
. case in the field.
increased capacity for compliance had the largest eifect on overall compliance.
tncreas� staffing was determined to be the most efFe�ive method of inc.reasing
capacity, and had the largest effect on overalt compfianc� (volur�tary and enforced).

Highest rate,s of compiiance were achiev�! when staff capaci#y was increased,
combined with increased efforts devoted to er�forc�ment �, and when technicai
support (via local govemment stat�} was made av�ilable to local residertts and
businesses.
Burby et al. concluded that highes# levels of compliance required both increased
- enforcemerrt capaci�yy and fostering a voluntary commitrnent to comply wi� code. While
adequate capacity #o det�t and correct code compliance wras an important factor, the
highest rate of canp{"�ance require� creafing comm�nent wi�in residents and builders
to voluntan7y comply vvith local building and development management c�odes. If the
voluntary c�mmifiment of residents and builders was achieved i�hrough a facilitative
enforcement approach, then the additional cost of incxeased errForc:emeM capacity
(�rough higher levels of s�affing) couid be oi�set.
in conctusion, Burby et ai. determined that successful agencies must be
dedic�ted to conecting and pneventing violations. Increased capaaty for c�de
er�forcemerrt through higher levels of staffing had a significant effect on increasing
compiiance rates. Compliance rates were highest when increased capacity was
employed in an agency with a faalitafive er�forcement philosophy. Faalitative code
er�torcement philosophies invoive: adequate numbers of technica{ly competent stai�
strong p�Ctive leadership; adequate legal support; and a strong effor4 to check
building and devetopmerrt plans, inspect building and development sites, and provide
technical �ssistartts.

Any attempt to expedit�e #he code enforcement process must be balanced withh
4he violatoe's righfi 4o due process. Code enforcement proc�edings are a quasi judicim!
proce�ing, which reyuire notice and due process. The decision to issue a violation or
assess a flne against a violator must be supported by competent substar�tial evidence.
flAost llillage r�de er�forcemerrt proceedings involve the foilowing procedure: friendl,y
notice of viola#ion, formal notice of violation, notice of hearing, orcier �inding viola#ion,
notice of hearing, and order assessing fine. Status hearings, fine re.duction hearings,
affidavits of compliance� and orders of compliance are not discussed in this
memorandum. This proc�ess has no4 been questioned on appe�i.
The Vllage's code enforcement process could be expedited by s4rict adherence
to the sta�tory code enforcement process. Strict adherence to the proc�dure desaribed
in Florida Statutes would e0iminate the friendly notice of violation that is issued before a
formal notice of viol�tion simukaneous provision of notice of violation and notice of
(violation) hearing to violators, and eiiminafion of all hearings subsequerrt to an order of
violation.
The doubte notice currentty provid� by the �Ilage is bitterswe.et: it albws for a
more friendly, small-town approach to comptiance, but the property may remain
noncompliant for a greaier amount of time. The friendly notice of violation fosters
dolunt�ary compliance by violators and creates a facili�tative code enforcement
environmerit. If the friendly notice componerrt was removed from the �Ilage code
compliance process, then violators would have less time to become comptiant and
° The Village cflde enforcem�t officer issues friendly notices of violation at his discretion. Although most viola�s
are provided with a friendly notice of violation, the V�}age code enfozcement offcer does not issue a fr�endly notice
� of violation for repeat a� egcegi.ous violators. In these instances, the violatar is issued a{farmal) notice of violation.
The Village code of a�dinances allows the code enforcement officer to immediatcly schedule a hearmg a�r making
a reasonable effort to notify the violator wl� the code enforceme�t officea l�s reason to believe a violation prese�s
a serious tL�t to public healt6, safety, and welf�e. Code 2U15, § 2-181(e).

effective notice of (forma� violation would become (more) important to assure due
process.
AAany jurisdic:bons issue simu�tan�r�s notices of vio{ation and �ring. Uncler the
�Ilage's current proce.ss, a violator is given time to after rec�iving a frlendty notice o# .
violation and additional time ta c�omply after the (forma� notic� of violation is issued. !f
. tfie violator does n� c�mply by the da�te in the (forma� notice of violation, then the
viotator is g"rven to appear at a hearing before the specia! mag'�s4rate. If the special
magisfirate isst�s am order flnding violation, the viotator is g'iven addi�onal time to
compl� before an order assessing fine is levied. The violator is given more than ample
fime to comply.
tf a simul�neous notice of violation and hea�ing is issued, then the time frame to
comply is shortened. Additionaliy, Florida's statutory process does require natice before
an order assessing fine is issued. So tong as the violator was given notice of the initial
hearing and sen�ed with the order finding violafion that s�! a reasonabie (and certain)
date to comply by, an order assessing fine may be sought without nofice.
ff ifie property exct�anges hands, fihe new owner must be given notice and
reasonable fine to comply. {f the �ilage expedites the current code eMnrcement
process, then it must take additional steps to assure that inifial notice is effective and
due process is prov�led. Any attempts to expedite the code enforcement process w�il
come writh more recalctitranfi violators a�nd increased chances of appeals based on due
process failures and b�tter residents.
E�cfeasi�g code e�orcement capacity in Tequest� shauld ina�ease comptiance
rates in the community as described by Burby et al. tncreasing code enforcemer�t staf�
(i.e.. code enforcemerrt o�cers) may be the most effective method to incre�ase enforced
compliance. Inaeases in stafF should not come with a harsher, throwing fhe book at
violators, approach to code er�forcement StafE should �e encouraged to exercise their
own discretion in issuing code viotaaottions and be availabfe to expi�in the code of

Increased levefs of enforcement capaciiy do not necessarity involve Fiiring
additional code inspectors. tn opinion 2002-84, the attor�ney generai cmnctuded that
votunteers may be designaf.eed as code errforcemerrt officers under Chapter 162, Fiorida
Statutes Section 162.04(2), Florida Sta�hates, defines code inspector to mean "any
authorizzed agerit or employee of the couMy or municipality whose duiy it is to assure
code compiiance° (emphasis added). Nothing in Chapter 'i62, Fio�da Statutes, requires
that a code enforcement officer be a compensatecl emptoyee. Section 2-131 of the
�Ilage code of ordinances provides that the code enforcement o�Ficer may b� any agent
or employee of the �Ilage whose duty it is to ensure code compliance.

ItE: Improving the effciency of code enforcernerat in Tequesta to increase code
compliance
MEMOlgANDUM
In response to concerns regarding general co�xn�ty appeara.nce and the Village's code
compliance process which have been ra,ised by members of the Village Council, and with
direction from the Village Manager, I have prepared this Memorandum to offer explanations and
suggestions regarding these topics. First is an overview of the Village's code compliance
processes. Second is a review of two scholarl� articles that focus on �mpro�ing compliance with
local codeso Third are suggestions wluch could be unplemented to expeclite the Village's
compliance process, and enhance general coxni�ua�it�y appearance.
Florida's statutory code enforcement process
Chapter 162, Flo�°ida Statutes, provicles a. �afoa� code eraforeement process for local
government. Most local (municipal and county) jurisdiction, utilize this uniform process, wluch
provides that code compliance proceedings are to be he�a°d by a code enforcernent board or
special magistrate. The fiindamental elements of tlus process require the provision of due
process, compliance with the essentiai requirements of law, and the presence of competent,
substantial evidence to support the find°uigs of the special magistrate.
The enforcement procedure and norice requirements for local code enforcement groceedings
are found at sections 162.06 and 162,12, Florada Statutes. These sections provide that once a
"vaolation of the codes is found, the code inspector shall not�fy the violator and �iv� him or her a
�°easonable time to cure the violation (emphasis added)"e The first notice of a violation may be
provided by certified mail to the address listed in the county property appraiser's database. The
notice should describe the violation and give the violator a reasonable opportunity to correct the
violation. It should also advise the violator that a failure to cornply within the time provided may
result in the case being presented tm the special magist�ate who may levy fines agauist the
property.

If notice is sent by certified mail and is not signed as receiving within 30 days after the
postmarked date, notice may be effected via posting on the subject properly and at Village Hall.
Alternatively, notice may be effectuated via hand delivery at the violator's usual residence with
any person that resides there and is over fifteen years of age, or leaving the violation with the
manager of a commercial business. Notice by posting may occur simultaneous with attempts to
provide notice via certified mail or hand delivery. Proper notice, coupled with an opportunity to
be heard by the decision-making authority constitute due process for purposes of code
compliance proceedings.
T'he case may be heard by the special magistrate if the violation is not remedied as
provided in the notice of violation. Notice of the hearing before the special magistra.te must be
provided to the violator in the same manner as the notice of violation.
At the hearing, the violation is presented to the special magistrate. The government
presents its evidence and the respondent is likewise given an oppofimity to present a defense.
At the conclusion of the hearing, the magistrate will issue findings of fact and an order granti.ng
the proper relief. Typically, this order will include a notice that it must be complied with by a
specified date, and will describe tha.t a fine may be imposed if the order is not complied with by
the date specified. If the order is not complied with by the set time, the special magistrate may
order the violator to pay a fine for each day the violation conti.nues past the date set-out in the
order.
Village of Tequesta's code enforcement process
The Village utilizes the uniform method of code compliance described above. Our code
compliance process is codified at Chapter 2, Article IV of the Village Code of Ordinances.
In addition, prior to implementing the above process, violators are issued a` fraendly
notice of violation", which provides a short time for the violator to achieve compliance, before
being issuing the formal notice of violation. The fornaal notice of violation gives the violator a
reasonable time to achieve compliance and provides notice to the violator that the Village may
bring the matter to the special magistrate if compliance is not achieved within the time provided.
If the violation is not remedied in the reasonable time provided in the formal notice of
violation, as determined by the code compliance officer, a notice of hearing is served on the
violator as described above. Village code compliance hearings aze held on the fourth Thursda.y of
each month.
Alternate methods of code enforcement
Section 162. The law allows a local government to create its own alternate method of
code enforcement which differs from the uniform method descried above. However, any process
for enforcing local codes must contain the fundamental elements noted above (the provision of
due process, compliance with the essential requirements of law, and the presence of competent,
substantial evidence to support the findings of the special magistrate). Since the uniform method
of code enforcement utilized by the Village has been judicially tested and approved in terms of
these fundamental elements, it is recommended that the process remain as currently adopted.
Scholarly views on improving compliance with code enforcement
Code violations and code compliance are a widespread. problem that receives little
attention. The article that was reviewed for this memo includes notes that "until the study
reported in this article, no systemic nationwide reseazch ha[d] examined compliance with
buildi.ng and development-management codes."
T'he traditional view of code enforcement is that comxnunity aesthetics suffer when local
government lacks capacity to compel code compliance by identifying violations and prosecuting
violators. This view is known as systemic code enforcement. The alternative perspective is that
code compliance can be maintained through creating an environment where violations are less
likely to occur. The latter view is achieved by a facilitative code enforcement philosophy; rewazd
�
good behavior and punish the knowing and repeat offenders. Administra.tors must decide which
of these views to emphasize when crafting a successful code enforcement program.
Systematic code enforcement emphasizes deterrence via enforcement as the method to
achieve voluntary compliance. Proponents of systematic code enforcement feel compliance
occurs only when the cost of disobeying the law exceeds the cost of noncompliance; a market
approach. Detenence is achieved through an ingrained desire to comply with local code due to
the fina.ncial costs of compliance.
Facilita.tive code enforcement does not adopt the market approach of systema.tic code
enforcement. Research shows that a market approach may not be best. Noncompliance is often a
result of ignorance of the code, negligence, incompetence, and principled disagreement with the
requirements of ordinances and permits?
Proponents of facilita.tive code enforcement train inspectors to use cooperative approaches to
deal with code enforcement violations. These approaches include: using fle�ble guidelines when
assessing compliance; explaining the sections of code violated to violators, advising how to fix
the violations, and bargaining with violators to agree on a compliance schedule; using incentives
to reward violators that make an honest effort to comply; and providing technical assistance in
interpreting the code to residents and businesses.
In Improving Compliance With Regulataons: Choices and Outcomes For Locad
Government�, Burby et al. gathered and analyzed data. on compliance with building codes to
determine whether systemic code enforcement, facilita.tive code enforcement, or a mix of both
yielded higher levels of compliance. Burby et al. also analyzed which policy decisions and
actions created higher levels of code compliance. The study was based on an empirical analysis
of data. from 990 local governments of a11 sizes.
In evalua.ting enforcement philosophies, Burby et a1. determined that a facilitative
approach was most important to creating an environment of voluntary compliance. This
approach was meaningless without proactive agency leadership and adequate legal capacity.
Proactive leadership and legal support signaled that local government was serious about code
enforcement.
Effective legal support did not involve throwing the book at violators; it involved a counselor
that staff can turn to and ask when to go easy on violators and when to refer cases for
prosecution. Loca1 code inspectors must be able to exercise discretion so violators can engage in
a dialogue with inspectors to understand how the code is applied to the conteart of their property.
When discretion is not given to inspectors, violators are less likely to understand the rationale
behind the code and willingly comply. Although code is written to be unambiguous and "one
size fits a11", this not always the case in the field.
Increased capaciTy for compliance had the largest effect on overall compliance. Increased
sta.ffing was determ.i.ned to be the most effective method of increasing capacity, and had the
largest effect on overall compliance (voluntary and enforced). Highest ra.tes of compliance were
achieved when stafF capacity was increased, combined with increased efforts devoted to
enforcement tasks, and when technical support (via local government staf� was made available
to local residents and businesses.
Burby et a1. concluded that highest levels of compliance required both increased
enforcement capacity and fostering a voluntary commitment to comply with code. While
adequa.te capacity to detect and correct code compliance was an important factor, the highest rate
of compliance required creating commitment within residents and builders to voluntarily comply
with local building and development-mana.gement codes. If the voluntary commitment of
residents and builders was achieved through a facilita.tive enforcement approach, then the

Z
additional cost of increased enforcement capacity (through higher levels of staffing) could be
offset.
In conclusion, Burby et a1. determined tha.t successful agencies must be dedica.ted to
correcti.ng and preventing violations. Increased capacity for code enforcement through higher
levels of staffing had a significant effect on increasing compliance rates. Compliance rates were
highest when increased capacity was employed in an agency with a facilitative enforcement
philosophy. Facilita.tive code enforcement philosophies involve: adequate numbers of technically
competent sta.ff; strong proactive leadership; adequa.te legal support; and a strong effort to check
building and development plans, i.nspect building and development sites, and provide technical
assistants.
Ezpediting the Village's code enforcement process
Any attempt to expedite the code enforcement process must be balanced with the
violator's right to due process. Code enforcement proceedi.ngs are a quasi judicial proceeding,
which require notice and due process. The decision to issue a violation or assess a fine against a
violator must be supported by competent substantial evidence.
Most Village code enforcement proceedings involve the following procedure:,friendly notice
of violation, formal notice of violation, notice of hearing, order finding violation, notice of
hearing, and order assessing fine. Sta.tus hearings, fine reduction hearings, affida.vits of
compliance, and orders of compliance are not discussed in this memorandum. This process has
not been questioned on appeal.
The Village's code enforcement process could be expedited by strict adherence to the
statutory code enforcement process. Strict adherence to the procedure described in Florida
Sta.tutes would eliminate the ff-iendly notice of violation tha.t is issued before a formal notice of
violation and woutd provide for simultaneous provision of notice of violation and notice of
(violation) hearing to violators.
The double notice currently provided by the Village is bittersweet: it allows for a more
friendly, small-town approach to compliance, but the property may remain noncompliant for a
greater amount of time. The friendly notice of violation fosters voluntary compliance by
violators and creates a facilita.tive code enforcement environment. If the friendly notice
component was removed from the Village code compliance process, then violators would have
less time to become compliant and effective notice of (formal) violation would become (more)
ixnportant to assure due process.
Many jurisdictions issue simultaneous notices of violation and hearing. Under the Village's
current process, a violator is given time to after receiving a friendly notice of violation and
additional time to comply after the (formal) notice of violation is issued. If the violator does not
comply by the da.te in the (formal) notice of violation, then the violator is given to appear at a
hearing before the special magistrate. If the special magistrate issues an order findi.ng violation,
the violator is given additional time to comply before an order assessing fine is levied. The
violator is given more than ample time to comply.
If a simultaneous notice of violation and heari.ng is issued, then the time frame to comply is
shortened. Additionally, Florida.'s statutory process requires notice before an order assessing fine
is issued.
° The Village code enforcement officer issues friendly notices of violation at his discretion. Although most violators
aze provided with a friendly notice of violation, the Village code enforcement officer does not issue a friendly notice
of violation for repeat and egregious violators. In these instances, the violator is issued a(formal) notice of violation.
The Village code of ordinances allows the code enforcement officer to immediately schedule a hearing after making
a reasonable effort to notify the violator when the code enforcement officer has reason to believe a violation presents
a serious threat to public health, safety, and welfaze. Code 2015, § 2-181(e).
d
If the properly exchanges hands, the new owner must be given notice and reasonable time to
comply: - If the Village e�edites the current code enforcement process, then it must take
additional steps to assure that initial notice is effective and due process is provided. Any attempts
to expedite the code enforcement process will come with more recalcitrant violators and
increased chances of appeals based on due process failures and bitter residents.
Increasing code enforcement capacity in Tequesta should increase compliance rates in the
community as described by Burby et a1. Increasing code enforcement staff (i.e., code
enforcement officers) may be the most effective method to increase enforced compliance.
Increases in staff should not come with a harsher, throwing the book at violators, approach to
code enforcement. Staff should be encouraged to exercise their own discretion in issuing code
violations and be available to explain the code of ordinances and development regulations to
violators and potential developers. �
Increased levels of enforcement capacity do not necessarily involve hiring additional
code inspectors. In opinion 2002-84, the attorney general concluded that volunteers may be
designated as code enforcement officers under Cha.pter 162, Florida Statutes Section 162.04(2),
Florida. Statutes, defines code inspector to mean "any authorized agent or employee of the
county or municipality whose duty it is to assure code compliance" (empha.sis added). Notivng in
Chapter 162, Florida. Sta.tutes, requires tha.t a code enforcement officer be a compensated
employee. Section 2-131 of the Village code of ordinances provides that the code enforcement
officer may be any agent or employee of the Village whose duty it is to ensure code compliance.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the Village may expedite the current code enforcement process by one or
more of the following: eliminati.ng the friendly notice of violation, and providing simultaneous
notice of violation and hearing. Any attempt to expedite the current process will involve a
greater need to assure due process (through effective notice) and risk of recalcitrant residents and
appeals to the circuit court. Burby et a1.'s study indicates tha.t administration should consider
adopting a systemic and facilita.tive code enforcement philosophy to increase enforced and
voluntary compliance. A facilita.tive and systemic approach to code enforcement, combined with
increased levels of code enforcement staff will yield the highest levels of overall compliance.
5 Opinion 2002-84 does note that section 162.04, Florida Statutes, provides the municipality with the authority to
prescribe the training and qualifications of any agent who may be a code enforcement officer.

Code Enforcement
Introduction
This page covers topics related to code enforcemerot with a focus on nuisar�ces. Some jurisdictions define atl eode
violations as nuisanees. Others select certaira code sectson violations as nuisances to be enforced under a general
code enforcement provision. The iltustrations on this page are prineipally those of jurisdietions with generat code
enforcement provisions that inctude voluntary cornpliar9ce, eivil infractions, abatement proceedings, arad surr,mary
abatement. Provisions are atso inctuded for dealing vwith ehronic nuisaroce properties.
About Code Enforcement
After many years of abating nuisanees, eill Cameron, the forraier City Attorney of Kennewick, noted that nuisanee
abatement is a human probtem. It is the people who create Yhe nuisance that are the problem, not the nuisance
itsetf. Local oificials need to keep in mind that the persons creating a nuisance may have mentat prob(ems; many
have littte money. When the method of abatement is chosen, the circumstanee of the person creating the nuisance
should be taken into consideration. Humane treatrnent is a moral imperative. Qther govemment agencies may be
of assistance. People are alt mdividuals and remedies must be tailored to the individual. Experience and judgment
,are the only guides. People can be stubb�rn. Sane, bu� st�abbom pe�p(e are oftera quite receptivp to a c�tation. The
reality of fines, jait and attorney fees are a wake up catl. Complicated people seem better dealt with in Superior
Court.
hlost sode enforcernent p�ograrns are corraptain�-dravee�. ��rnptair►ts result in ar� iraspection and a waming letter to
the violator, fo(lowed by a�otice �f eatation Bf action to �orreet �he viotation have not been taken by the property
owner. This is fotlowed by ofFicia9 abaternent proceedings if the violat�r still ha� not take care of the problem within
a speeified period of time. As an alternative to abatement, sorr�e cities use neighborhood mediation centers and

provisions 1s a policy issue dependent on the tevet of service � eommunity can provide with available resources.
Severat cornmunifies have developed proadive code enforcernent programs. Others only deat with nuisances when
they become a serious health or safety problem. Mae'y local governments simply da not have adequate funding to
make code enforcement a priority. The courts have recognized that governments generally do not have suifiaent
resources to hire staff to seek out violations of atl regutations. It is common practice for cities and counties to
enforce zonang ordinanees, animal coratrol, and nuisance ordinances on a complaint-only basis. See Frame Factorv

Methods of Code Enforcement
Voluntary coopeeation
The most desirable course of action is to obfiain the votuntrary cooperation of t8ee public in seeking the abatement of
nuisances. e4 number of jurisdictions have iractuded vofluntary agreernents in their nuisance provisions. lf voluntary
compliance is not forthcoming, the ne�ct step rnay be to assa�e a citation. Issuing a citation #or an infraction {eivil

Many jurisdictions have decriminalized nuisance provisions and are using a civil infraction system. In 1987 the
legislature estabtished a civit infraction system codified as Ch. 7.80 RCW (http://app.leg.wagov/rcw/defaultaspx?
cite=7.80 to a(low minor offenses to be decriminalized and to receive a civil fine or infraction. Infractions are
defined as a non criminal viotation of a local ordinance. The civil infraction system is pattemed after the traffic
infraction system adopted in 1981. The statute authorizes cities and counties to create civil infractions enforceable in
the municipal or district court.
Civit infractions are inifiated by the issuance, service, and filing of a notice of civil infraction issued by a person
authorized to enforce ordinance provisions. The citing officer can be a law enforcement officer or other official
authorized by law to issue notices. Jurisdictions have variations on the process used to obtain compliance before
citations are issued. Many jurisdictions issue some sort of warning notice with a deadtine for comptiance before a
notice of infraction.
Abatement
When voluntary comp6ance and administrative proceedings do not solve the problem, it may be necessary to go to
superior court and obtain a warrant of abatement The warrant authorizes the jurisdiction to enter onto private
property, abate the nuisance, and hold the property owner responsible for alt of the abatement costs.
If there have been eartier administrative proceedings and there is a clear record that due process has been followed,
a petition for a warrant of abatement may be handled expeditiously, particularly when the properry owner chooses
not to respond to the superior court fiting. A civil nuisance abatement case brought in superior court often involves
complex factual or legat issues, a targe parcet of property (or several properties), or a violator whose attitudes or, in
some cases, mental fitness, make it untikely that the nuisance situation can be resolved without a warrant of
abatement One advantage of court action is that the court discovery rules will allow access to the perpetrator's
premises.
Summary Abatement
Summary abatement invotves the actual removal of conditions constituting a nuisance by administrative officials
without resorting to judicial proceedings. Summary abatement may or may not be specifically authorized by a
jurisdiction's ordinance. Sometimes a situation is so dangerous that it should be repaired or eliminated immediately.
Open wells, discharges of sewage, abandoned refrigerators and similar types of nuisances are extreme hazards
especialty in populated areas. If the owner witl not fix them upon request or cannot be found, the local government
should take it upon itself to make the correction and decide later who should pay.
There is some potential liabitity exposure for jurisdictions that initiate summary abatement procedures. As a
practicat matter, the jurisdiction should protect itself by assembling evidence, such as photographs, to support its
findings that an emergency exists_ If an action were brought against the city or county, and the court determined
that the condition abated did not in fact constitute a fire or health hazard, or a nuisance, the city would probably be
liabte for damages sustained by the property,owner.
Administrative Enforcement - Unfit Dwellings, Buildings, and Structures
Administrative enforcement refers to the establishment of a non-judicial hearing and decision-maldng process for
nuisance abatement. M administrative hearing provides the opportunity for property owners to present their side.
These proceedings are much less time-consuming and expensive than a futl court adjudication. However, because
nuisance enforcement and abatement deal with property rights, the process must include a right to appeat any final
administrative decision to district or superior court. The hope is that an administrative decision will satisfactorily
resolve the issue without an appeal to superior court. If it is clear from the outset that a property owner wants to
contest an administrative nuisance action, regardless of cost, it might be wise to initiate the enforcement action
through court proceedings.
Sometimes an administrative process will consist of a hearing before an individual or board, followed by an
administrative appeal to another board, and then an appeal to district or superior court. If the problem can be
resolved through an administrative process (without a judiciat appeal) it is generally simpler, faster, and tess costly
than initiating the enforcement acl9on in court. An example of a full administrative enforcement process, including a

levet of administrative appeal prior to superior court appeal, is Ch. 35.80 RCW
(http://a�p.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=35.80). which estabUshes a process for dealing with unfit dwetlings.
buildings, and structures. The key to any administrative nuisance abatement ordinance is a clear and detaited
definition of what constitutes a nuisance. Clear and unambiguous administrative procedures must give all those
affected an opportunity to have decisions reviewed before any abatement action is taken. See Memphis Light Gas &

Right.of Entry
Consensual searches are not unreasonable and do not require a warrant. However, it is now advised that a warrant
be obtained to enter properly when permission is not obtained. In a Ninth Circuit Court case involving the City of
Santa Ana, Connor v. Santa Ana (http //openjurist.org/897/f2d/f487/mnner-v-dty-of-santa-anal. 897 F.2d 7487
(9th Cir.1990), the court hetd that a warrant was required prior to entering property to inspect for a nuisance
violation. This was based on the fourth amendment of the U.S. Constitution due process clause.
A warrant may not be needed for a nuisance that is located in plain view, such as in an open front yard. This is the
holding in Ninth Circuit Court ot Appeats case, Schneider v. CountyofSan Die�o
Ihttp.//openjuristorg/28/f3d/89/schneider-v-county-of-san-diegol. 28 F.3d 89 (9th Cir.1994). In this case the
court addressed the legatity of the county abating a nuisance on private property, after alt the proper notices had
been given to the properry owner. The court recognized an exception in regard to searches on private property
where the activity takes place in open �e/ds, where there is no recognized expedation of privacy.
In City of Pasco v Shaw (httn //courts mrsc org/mc%urts/zsupreme/16>wn2d/161wn1d0450 html 161 Wn.2d
450 (2007), to address a problem with the poor conditions of some rental units within the city, the city councit
passed an ordinance requiring landlords, to be licensed by the city, have inspections made of their rental units, and
furnish the city with certificates of inspectors certify that their units met applicable building codes. A challenge was
brought, arguing that the required inspections constituted improper searches and that the inspection ordinance was
too vague to be enforceable. On appeat, the court disagreed.

Municipal Court - Code Enforcement
Presentation
October 21, 2015
At our most recent City Council meeting, our Municipal Court Judge (Judge Trook) and Code
Enforcement Officer (Robert Polanco) presented the process flow for Criminal Violations through our
local Municipal Court.
Click HERE (http://cityofalpine.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/October-2015-Presentation-on-
Criminal-Case-Flow.pdfl to view the presentation.
The City fields calls weekly on regarding different ordinance violations across town. We felt it was
important to take time during one of our Council Meetings to discuss the process flow of the Cases
and how our Judge, Prosecuting Attorney and Code Enforcement officer handle the violations.
Our number one goal as a City is compliance and helping our citizens and property owners achieve
that objective.
