Ordinance Summary
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SCANDIA, WASHINGTON COUNTY, MINNESOTA, PROVIDING FOR
THE SUMMARY PUBLICATION OF ORDINANCE NO. 205, AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING AN
ADMINISTRATIVE CITATION PROGRAM, AND PROVIDING FOR THE PURPOSES AND
ADMINISTRATION THEREOF
On December 18, 2018, at a Regular Meeting of the Scandia City Council, by majority vote, the City Council
adopted Ordinance No. 205 which establishes an administrative citation program. The administrative
citation can be used as an alternative to relying on courts to reconcile ordinance violations. Previously all
ordinance violations were criminal offenses. The ordinance provides for notice to correct violations before
a citation is issued, sets the penalty for violations, and provides for a hearing process if the citation is
contested.
A printed copy of the Ordinance is available for inspection by any person during regular office hours at City
Hall or by standard or electronic mail.
