Council reviews ordinance to adopt updated schedule for code violation fees

The Village Council discussed Ordinance 7 83, a proposed ordinance to adopt a defined schedule of penalties or fees for certain code violations and to include a technology fee as part of the court schedule.

"First off, I'd like to thank Heather Marks. She put a lot work in this as her court clerk, to include the technology fee," Speaker 3 said, noting staff prepared a comparison spreadsheet outlining maximum allowable fees and how the proposed schedule aligns with state requirements. The ordinance text referenced severability and an emergency clause.

Council members discussed the fee schedule and noted staff analysis but the transcript does not show a recorded vote or final adoption at this meeting. Staff will return with any additional materials needed to finalize the ordinance record.
