10.c Administrative Citation Hearing Officer Staff Report
Date of Meeting: April 16, 2024
For: Honorable Mayor and Council
From: Kyle Morell, City Administrator
Subject: Administrative Citation Hearing Officer
Background:
At the March 19 City Council meeting, the Council moved to repost the Hearing Officer RFP. The
new submission deadline was April 10, 2024. Libby Law Office was the only firm to reply to the
RFP. Their proposal is attached for your review.
Ms. Libby proposes a 1-year contract as the City’s Administrative Hearing Officer. The proposal
limits Ms. Libby to 4 hearings per month and asks for $600 per hearing.
Per the City’s ordinance, any resident wishing to appeal their Administrative Citation must pay the
hearing cost when they file their appeal. Once the Hearing Officer has made a decision, the losing
party must pay the hearing cost.
Ms. Libby will not be available for our meeting on Tuesday. If Council has questions, please let me
know, and I can get them to her before the meeting. If the Council wishes to speak with Ms. Libby,
I suggest tabling this item until our May 1 Work Session.
Options:
1) Approve Hearing Officer Proposal from Libby Law
2) Table item for further discussion
Recommendation:
Option 1
