That Chapter 33 of the City Code entitled “Administrative Enforcement of Ordinance Violations” be

Fridley City Code
Chapter 33 203 Administrative Enforcement of Ordinance Violations
33.01. 203.01 Purpose
The Fridley City Council (Council) seeks to offer an alternative method of enforcement for City Code
(Code) violations rather than relying solely on the judiciary for such relief. The formal judicial process
does not provide an environment to adequately address the unique and sensitive issues that are
involved in City Code violations, including, but not limited to: neighborhood concerns, livability
issues, economic impact, public safety, physical limitations of the offenders, and the stigma and
unintended consequences of being charged with or convicted of a misdemeanor offense. In addition,
the methodical process of the court system process may not be conducive to dealing with the
violations in a prompt and timely manner.
In order to provide more flexibility in addressing City Code violations on an individual basis that will
be more efficient and effective and to ensure a process for administrative relief before engaging the
judicial system, the City Council finds that an alternative enforcement process is necessary. Therefore,
to protect the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of Fridley, the City Council intends to create
a process for the use and imposition of administrative civil penalties that will provide the public and
the City with an effective, alternative method for addressing City Code violations.
33.02. 203.02 Application
The administrative procedures and penalties in this section may, in the discretion of the City, be used
for any violation of the City Code or any violation of the terms and conditions of a City approval,
including permits and licenses, required and granted under the City Code, and traffic offenses
designated in Minnesota Statute (M.S.) § 169.999, in the amount designated in Minnesota Statute
M.S. § 169.999, as it may be amended from time to time.
Except as expressly provided in this section, the provisions of this section may be used concurrently
with or in addition to any other procedure or remedy, criminal or civil, the City may pursue under
City the Code, State law, or Federal law. Nothing herein restricts the right of the City to enter property
immediately or to seek other remedies in emergency or other situations as authorized by City the
Code, State law, or Federal law. Where differences occur between provisions of this section and other
applicable City Code sections, this section controls to the extent of such differences. No provision of
the City Code that provides a criminal procedure or penalty, or an administrative or civil procedure
or penalty, for a violation of the City Code shall preclude the application of this section in its entirety
to such violation.
The penalties and procedures provided in this section shall be applicable to every section and chapter
of the City Code. The penalties and procedures provided by this section shall apply to any
amendment of the City Code, whether or not such penalty is reenacted in the amendment, unless
otherwise provided in such amendment.

disability of existing or proposed residents, may do so on an application form provided by the City’s
Accommodation Specialist. The application shall include a detailed explanation of why the
accommodation is reasonably necessary to make the specific housing available to the person(s), with
a disability, including information establishing that the application is being made by a qualified
person, for themselves or on behalf of a person disabled under applicable laws, as well as other
information required by the Accommodation Specialist to make the determination. If the project for
which the request is being made also requires an additional land use review or approval, the applicant
shall file the request concurrently with the land use review.
34.04 206.04 Accommodation Specialist; Required Findings
1. The Accommodation Specialist, in consultation with the appropriate City staff, shall have the
authority to consider and act on requests for reasonable accommodation. The Accommodation
Specialist shall issue a written decision in which the request is approved, approved subject to
conditions, or denied. In making the decision as to whether an accommodation is reasonable, the
following factors shall be considered:
(a) Special need created by the disability;
(b) Potential benefit that can be accomplished by the requested accommodation;
(c) Need for the requested accommodation, including alternatives that may provide an
equivalent level of benefit;
(d) Physical attributes of and any proposed changes to the subject property and structures;
(e) Potential impact on surrounding uses;
(f) Whether the requested accommodation would constitute a fundamental alteration of the
zoning regulations, policies, or procedures of the City, and/or nature of the area in which the
accommodation is being requested;
(g) Whether the requested accommodation would impose an undue financial or
administrative burden on the City;
(h) Whether the requested accommodation is likely to have any negative impacts on the
health, safety, or general welfare of members of the community, and
(i) Any other factor that may be determined to have a bearing on the request.
2. Any approval issued under this section may include such reasonable conditions that the
Accommodation Specialist deems necessary to mitigate any adverse impacts that the granting
of such reasonable accommodation may produce or amplify.
34.05 206.05 Notice of Decision
The written decision of the Accommodation Specialist shall be mailed to the applicant within five
business days of such decision being made. All written decisions shall give notice of the right to
appeal a decision of the Accommodation Specialist pursuant to Section 34.08206.08. The decision of
the Accommodation Specialist shall constitute the final decision of the City, unless appealed
according to the procedures and within the time limits provided in Section 34.08206.08. Only the
aggrieved applicant of the written reasonable accommodation determination has a right to appeal
the decision.
A reasonable accommodation approved under this section shall become effective on the first
calendar day following expiration of the right to appeal.
34.06 206.06 Applicability
Any approved request shall constitute a limited license which shall allow the property owner or
occupant to continue to rely upon such accommodation only so long as they own or occupy the
property. Approval of a reasonable accommodation does not constitute a property right, does not
run with the land, and does not provide future owners or occupants any rights to rely upon such
accommodation approvals. Only the person who applied for such reasonable accommodation, and
who is specifically named in the City's approval of such accommodation, shall be entitled to the
benefits and protections thereof. The holder of an approved reasonable accommodation license
st
hereunder shall, on or before January 1 of each year, provide the City with an updated affirmation
that the reasonable accommodation is still necessary. In the event that the Accommodation Specialist
has reasonable cause to believe that factors have changed, the Accommodation Specialist may
request additional information from the license holder. Failure to annually reaffirm the need for the
reasonable accommodation, or failure to provide information reasonably requested by the
Accommodation Specialist, shall result in automatic termination of the reasonable accommodation
upon written notice of the Accommodation Specialist.
34.07 206.07 Conditions and Guarantees
Prior to the issuance of any permits relative to an approved reasonable accommodation request, the
Accommodation Specialist may require the applicant to record a covenant acknowledging and
agreeing to comply with the terms and conditions established in the determination.
34.08 206.08 Appeals
Any decision reached by the Accommodation Specialist pursuant to Section 34.05206.05 shall be
subject to appeal to the City Council by those persons with a right to appeal as provided herein. All
appeals shall be initiated by submitting a notice of appeal, in writing, to the Accommodation
Specialist within 30 days of the date upon which the decision was made. Upon notice of appeal, the
City Manager or their designee shall present such appeal to the Fridley City Council for action within
30 days. The Accommodation Specialist shall also serve notice of such appeal on all parties entitled
to receive notice of a decision issued under Section 34.05206.05. Following a hearing on such appeal,
the Fridley City Council shall issue its findings, in writing, within 30 days.
Section 8
That Chapter 7 of the City Code entitled “Assessments” be hereby amended as follows:
Fridley City Code
Chapter 7.207 Assessments
7.01 207.01 Authority
It is deemed to be in the interest of the City of Fridley (City) and the owners of respective properties
in the City of Fridley that the City authorize and accept the prepayment of special assessments in
whole or in part as allowed by law and provided under Minnesota Statutes Chapter 429, Section
429.061, Subd. 3 (1961), and as provided by this Chapter. This Chapter will be construed to authorize,
ratify and confirm prepayments heretofore received and accepted, and any assessments credited
therewith, and any corrections made by the City Clerk without such authorization being previously
granted and received. Further, no part of this Chapter shall be construed to deny to any person the
right or privilege to make payment of any assessment in whole or in part as otherwise provided by
law under the Statutes of the State of Minnesota; and that this Chapter is and shall be deemed
supplementary thereto.
7.02. 207.02 Time of Payment
Prior to certification of the assessment or the first installment thereof any person may pay the whole
or any part which is not less than one-half thereof, provided that such partial payment shall in any
event be in a sum of at least One Hundred Dollars ($100.00). Upon receipt of any such prepayment,
the City Clerk shall note the same upon the records of the City, credit the payee therefore, and reduce
the assessment as originally made in the amount of the prepayment received. The balance remaining
shall then be noted as the amount due and may then be certified to the County Auditor together
with and as a part of the assessment roll in which the original amount due was contained. Upon
adoption of the new assessment roll but not later than November 15 of the year of adoption, any
person may make one payment only for the whole or any part of the balance, which is not less than
$100 to reduce or eliminate any interest that would accrue upon certification. Upon receipt of any
such prepayment, the City Manager or their designee shall note the same upon the records of the
City, credit the payee therefore, and reduce the assessment as originally made in the amount of the
prepayment received. The balance remaining shall then be noted as the amount due and may then
be certified to the County Auditor together with and as a part of the assessment roll in which the
original amount due was contained. After November 15 of the year of adoption any person may pay
part or all of the remaining balance less any amount certified to the property tax for the following
year.
7.03. Certification
The City Clerk may and shall be authorized, upon a resolution duly made approving the same, to
cancel any assessment or part thereof which was certified to the County Auditor in error either as to
amount or otherwise; and may and shall correct the same, including the amount of interest thereon
improperly accrued, if any, by certifying the corrected assessment and interest and attaching thereto
a certified copy of the resolution authorizing the correction. Such corrected assessment when so
certified shall then stand upon the assessment records in the place of the original assessment made
in error.
