Recommendations for Council action, pursuant to Resolution (McOsker – Harris-Dawson): RESOLVE that, inasmuch as the City Attorney is an Enforcement Officer of ACE as defined in Section 11.2.02 of the Los Angeles Municipal Code (LAMC), the City Council hereby adds the City Attorney as an Enforcement Officer empowered to enforce any and all violations of any provision of the LAMC under either or both LAMC Sections 11.00 or 11.2. RESOLVE that the City Attorney is hereby authorized to modify the processes set forth in ACE to implement ACE, as appropriate, for the addition of the City Attorney, including implementing citation forms, administrative procedures, protocols, appeals to a hearing officer and designation of a citation processing company as the City Attorney determines is necessary or appropriate for Administrative Citations issued by the City Attorney. The issuance of an Administrative Citation by the City Attorney shall constitute the initial review otherwise required under LAMC Section 11.2.08(a)(1) and the Responsible Person may pay the Administrative Citation or contest an Administrative Citation issued by the City Attorney directly as set forth in LAMC Section 11.2.08(a)(2) and 11.2.09.
