CI,o OF SAN Bl!RNARDIQ) - R8QUEO' FOR COUNCIL AC'())N
STAFF REPORT
At the March 3, 1983, council Meeting, the City Planning
Director and Planners were authorized and empowered to arrest
and issue citations. The Building Officials have the arrest
and citation power via the Uniform Building Code. The City
has not experienced any difficulty with the Inspectors having
this power. This is because, in the event that physical
custody of any violater was required, the Police were called.
The council can be assured that prior to any Inspector being
issued a citation book, proper training will be given and
department rules and regulations will be issued prohibiting
physical arrest by anyone other than a uniformed police
officer. Any violation of this rule will result in severe
disciplinary action.
This amendment was first introduced to Council in November of
1986. Subsequently, it was referred to the Legislative
Review Committee where various additions and deletions to the
language were recommended resulting in a completely revised
Section liB" submitted herewith for your approval.
