lU <br />Warning was given of $100-per-day civil penalties to be assessed <br />beginning on June 9, if the violation were not corrected. Their was no <br />response from the Dickisons about the notification, and there was no <br />evident action taken to correct the violation. A second notification was <br />sent on June 16, stating that the Board of County Commissioners would <br />be requested to assess the penalties. There has been no response to the <br />notification. Subsequent site investigations reveal no progress. <br />If assessments were made at $100 per day (the maximum allowed by the <br />Zoning Ordinance), civil penalties on October 6, 1998, would amount to <br />nearly $15,000. <br />RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends that the Board of County <br />Commissioners consider assessing civil penalties in amount of $2,000 <br />payable within 30 days of the assessment. If the amount is not paid <br />within that time, and/or the property is not brought into compliance, the <br />case should be turned over to the County Attorney to take appropriate <br />action. <br />
