Discussion and Review of Tiffin Municipal Code Revisions — City Staff Updates

AGENDA ITEM # WS-F included. The goal would be to provide a consistent and practical enforcement tool while maintaining the municipal infraction process where appropriate. City Attorney Recommendation Chapter 70 – Traffic Code Enforcement Procedures The City Attorney recommends revising Chapter 70 to generally align with the corresponding provisions in the City of North Liberty’s Code of Ordinances, subject to review and concurrence from the City Council and Johnson County Sheriff’s Office. North Liberty’s Chapter 70 addresses traffic code enforcement, scheduled violations, parking violations, appeals, and vehicle impoundment procedures. Staff recommends incorporating the proposed Chapter 70 revisions into the current codification process following discussion and direction from Council and the Sheriff’s Office. Johnson County Sheriff’s Office Enforcement Considerations The Johnson County Sheriff’s Office has been consulted regarding the proposed changes, particularly the use of scheduled fines and the practical enforcement of code violations. Staff is seeking feedback from the Sheriff’s Office regarding which violations would be appropriate for a scheduled fine structure and how the process could best be implemented by law enforcement. Council Direction Requested Staff is seeking Council feedback on the proposed changes above so that any agreed-upon revisions can be incorporated into the final codified Code of Ordinances prior to the public hearing and first reading.
