CITY OF IOWA CITY
GENERAL ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES AND INFORMATION
FOR CITING MUNICIPAL INFRACTIONS
Background
In an effort to gain compliance with Iowa City ordinances, all persons responsi-
ble for enforcing the ordinances should first attempt compliance through inspec-
tion, notification, and granting of reasonable time to comply. When all reasonable
efforts have failed and administrative remedies have been exhausted, any City
employee authorized by the City to enforce the Code of Ordinances may issue a
citation to any person determined to be committing a municipal infraction.
Code Violation: Determination to issue a citation
1. A violation of a municipal ordinance is brought to the attention of the city
employee or department authorized to enforce a particular City ordinance.
2. An investigation is conducted to determine whether or not a violation exists.
3. If a violation exists, a notice to correct violation is provided to the
violator and a copy to the complainant, if appropriate. In the case of a
violation by a Tenant, the property owner or agent should receive a copy of
the Notice. Such notice shall:
(a) be in writing;
(b) include name or description of the violation; including the section of
code violated;
(c) indicate the location of the violation;
(d) allow a reasonable time to correct/abate the violation;
(e) explain that failure to correct/abate the violation within the time
specified will result in further action by the City, including issuance
of a citation and the assessment of a civil penalty (fine);
(f) explain that each day that a violation occurs or is permitted to exist
constitutes a separate offense; and
(g) be by personal service as provided in Rule 56.1 of Rules of Civil Proce-
dure or by certified mail return receipt requested or, in the event
personal service or certified mail cannot be accomplished, by posting in
a conspicuous place on the premises.
4. If the violator does not correct/abate the violation or set up a schedule to
correct/abate the violation or does not comply with the schedule, a citation
may be issued.
Issuance of a citation
1. Any city employee authorized to enforce the Code together with his or her duly
authorized representative(s) and/or agent(s) may issue a citation.
Ma /
Va
2. A citation may be issued only by the city employee who has witnessed the
Violation-.
3. A citation may be issued only after the following criteria are met:
(a) the issuance of the citation is authorized by a department head;
(b) the citation is signed by the city employee issuing the citation prior to
issuance/delivery to the violator;
(c) the citation is completed with the following information:
(1) the name and address of the violator;
(2) the name or description of the violation attested to by the officer
issuing the citation.
Record relevant code section and provide a brief description of the
violation.
(3) the location and time of the violation.
The time of the violation is the time the violation was observed.
The location of the violation may not be the same address as that of
the property owner.
(4) the amount of the civil penalty to be assessed or the alternative
relief sought, or both.
The schedule of Civil Penalties to be assessed are as follows,
unless a specific schedule of civil penalties is provided elsewhere
in the Code:
Schedule of Civil Penalties
1st offense - $30
2nd offense - $100
3rd and Subsequent offense(s) - $200
(5) the manner, location, and time in which the penalty may be paid.
Payment may be by check in the amount of the fine as shown on the
citation. Checks are to be payable to the Clerk of the District
Court, Johnson County.
(6) the time and place of court appearance.
Court appearance times are 9 a.m. Monday and Thursday at the Iowa
City Civic Center Council Chambers, 410 E. Washington Street. The
appearance date should be set by a City employee issuing a citation
approximately two weeks after issuance of a citation.
3
(1) penalty for failure to appear in court.
Failure to appear in response to the citation will result in the
court entering judgment against the person cited, If the terms
imposed by the Court are willfully disobeyed, this disobedience is
contempt.
3. The citation may be served by personal service or by certified mail return
receipt requested. The violator does not need to sign the citation.
4. A citation may be issued immediately for a repeat offense; i.e., a recurring
violation of the same section of the code of Ordtnantes.
Settlement of a violation
Any person served with a citation may settle the violation by correcting/abating
the violation and paying to the Clerk of Court the civil penalty assesssed. The
violator is responsible for the court costs and fees. Prior to the citiation being
dismissed by the City, provision for the payment of court costs and fees must be
arranged with the Clerk of Court. It is the City's policy not to dismiss a cita-
tion until the payment of court costs and fees is made by the violator.
Contact with the Court
1. Upon issuance of a citation, the employee shall give two copies to the
violator. The employee then shall check department records to see if the
violator has any prior citation and/or conviction for the same section of the
ordinance within the previous year. The employee or departmental representa-
tive shall retain the department's copy and hand deliver the original copy of
the citation to the court, along with information about prior citation and/or
convictions.
2. All citations shall be numbered, with each department being responsible for
keeping track of its citations (issued or voided) and for delivering the
originals to the court. When communicating with the court about a citation,
the employee shall first refer to the citation number, the court can then
provide the employee with a docket or case number which is assigned by the
court. Subsequent communications should refer to the docket number. The
employee shall appear in court when the hearing is held.
Proceedings before the Court - State Law Provisions
1. The City has the burden of proof that the municipal infraction occurred and
j that the violator committed the infraction. The proof shall be clear, satis-
factory, and convincing evidence.
2. The court shall ensure that the violator has received a copy of the charges
and that the violator understands the charges. The violator may question all
witnesses who appear for the City and produce evidence or witnesses on the
violator's behalf.
3. The violator may be represented by counsel of the violator's own selection and
at the violator's own expense.
4. The violator may enter a plea admitting or denying the infraction.
I
2
5. The verdict of the court for a municipal infraction shall be guilty of the
municipal infraction or not guilty of the municipal infraction.
6. All penalties or forfeitures collected by the court for municipal infractions
shall be remitted to the City in the same manner as fines and forfeitures are
remitted for criminal violations under Section 602.8106 of the Iowa Code. If
the person named in the citation is served as provided for in this section and
fails without good cause to appear in response to the civil citation, judgment
shall be entered against the person cited.
7. A person found guilty of a municipal infraction is liable for the court costs
and fees. If a person is found not guilty of a municipal infraction or the
action is dismissed, the City is liable for the court costs and court fees.
When the action is disposed of without payment, or provision for assignment of
court costs, the clerk shall at once enter judgement against the City.
8. Seeking a civil penalty as authorized by the Iowa Code, does not preclude the
City from seeking alternative relief from the court in the same action.
9. When a violator has been found guilty of a municipal infraction, the court may
impose a civil penalty or may grant appropriate relief to abate or halt the
violation, or both, and the court may direct that payment of the civil penalty
be suspended or deferred under conditions established by the court. If a
violator wilfully fails to pay the civil penalty or violates the terms of any
other order imposed by the court, the failure is contempt.
10. A violator who has been found guilty of a municipal infraction may file a
motion for a new trial or a motion for a reversal judgment as provided by law
or rule of civil procedure.
11. This section does not preclude a peace officer of a city from issuing a crimi-
nal citation for a violation of a City Code or regulation if criminal penal-
ties are also provided for the violation. Each day the violation occurs or is
permitted to exist by the violator, constitutes a separate offense.
12. The issuance of a civil citation for a municipal infraction or the ensuing
court proceedings do not provide an action for false arrest, false imprison-
ment, or prosecution.

MEMORANDUM
Date: August 21, 1986
To: City Council
From: Karin Franklin, Senior Planne
Re: Internally Illuminated Awnings
The Council has before it an ordinance which prohibits the internal illu-
mination of more than 25 percent of an awning's surface. This amendment
was presented by the staff in response to requests which had been received
for sign permits for awnings which were fully illuminated. The sign
ordinance has been interpreted to mean that awning signs are permitted to
the extent that the sign covers only 25 percent of the awning surface.
The full illumination of 100 percent of an awning with graphics was inter-
preted to be a sign and would be, therefore, illegalThe staff proposed
the attached amendment to clearly state in the ordinance the results of
the interpretation and to bring the policy question of whether fully
internally illuminated awnings, with or without graphics, should be per-
mitted as a signage option in Iowa City.
The Planning and Zoning Commission recommended by a vote of 4-1 (Horowitz
voting no) that the proposed amendment be approved, prohibiting fully
internally illuminated awnings as a signage option. Horowitz's negative
vote was based on advice from the Design Review Committee that illuminated
awnings be permitted as an option with standards related to size, the
amount of light diffused, and building compatibility. Please refer to the
Design Review Committee minutes of July 24 included in the packet for a
full account of the Committees discussion.
Other correspondence received by the Planning and Zoning Commission relat-
ing to this issue are also included in the packet.

To The Planning and Zoning Committee,
The Illuminated Awning Committee has after two meetings
studied the intent of the proposed amendment to the ,sign or-
dinance, that internally illuminated awnings be prohibited
in Iowa City. We find awnings to be a welcome addition in
Iowa City adding to the safety, comfort and beauty of resid-
ences and businesses. Illumination internally or externally
only increases the beauty of awnings and permits day or nite
'Ase. Therefore the committee recommends that the proposed
amendment be rejected and that current building an: sign
code restrictions adequately restrict the size of
and signage.
