CONSENT AGENDA
All items on the consent agenda are considered to be routine and may be enacted by one motion.If a Councilor requests discussion on an item, the item will be removed from the consent agendaand considered separately. The vote on the consent agenda will be a roll call vote.
1.
The proposed ordinance would allow Raleigh Police Officers to enforce the nuisanceparty and noise ordinances with civil penalties, a court action for an injunction, orthrough a criminal misdemeanor. The civil penalty would be set at $100 per calendar dayfor the first violation and $300 per calendar day for additional violations within 12months. The ordinance establishes a procedure for appealing civil penalties and incontested appeals. It provides that the final decision on any appeal is made by anindependent arbitrator. If a third civil penalty is issued for a violation of the nuisanceparty or prohibited noise ordinances within 24 months after notice of the first violationfrom the PROP Team, the property would move into the PROP Program. A violationoccurs after both the citation is issued and either the appeal time expires or the violatorloses an appeal before the arbitrator.Allowing sworn officers to enforce noise and nuisance party violations by means of acivil citation would provide an efficient and effective alternative in addressing currentapplicable City ordinances. Obtaining misdemeanor convictions for offenses such asnoise and nuisance party violations tends to be time consuming and often challenging inthe criminal justice system. While officers would still have the option of making amisdemeanor charge in the event of chronic or repeated violations, a civil penalty wouldnot result in a permanent criminal record against the offender. The ordinance wouldbecome effective on July 1, 2009.
Recommendation:
Approve authority for sworn Raleigh Police Officers to enforce nuisance party andprohibited ordinances by means of a civil citation.
