Enforcement Board shall recommend to the City Commission approval, approval with conditions, or denial of the application for satisfaction or release of lien. The Code Enforcement Board, in determining its recommendation, shall consider the following factors: (1) The gravity of the violation; (2) The time in which it took the violator/property owner to come into compliance; (3) The accrued amount of the code enforcement fine or lien; (4) Any previous or subsequent code violations; (5) Any financial hardship; and (6) Any other mitigating circumstances which may warrant the reduction or satisfaction of the penalty or fine. (h) After a recommendation has been rendered by the Code Enforcement Board, the Fire Chief or designee shall place the application for satisfaction or release of lien upon the agenda of the next regularly scheduled City Commission meeting. The City Commission may take action solely based upon the sworn application and recommendation of the code enforcement board, and information previously provided by the violator/property owner to the Code Enforcement Board, in considering the application for satisfaction or release of lien. (i) The City Commission may approve, approve with conditions, or deny the application to satisfy or release the lien. If the City Commission approves the application to satisfy or release the lien and the approval is conditioned upon the violator/property owner paying a reduced penalty, fine, or any other condition, the satisfaction or release of lien shall not be prepared or recorded until the condition(s) placed by the Commission have been satisfied. ü) The violator/property owner shall have thirty (30) days in which to comply with the conditions imposed by the City Commission. Failure of the violator/property owner to comply will result in the automatic denial of the application for satisfaction or release of lien. (k) If the application is denied or if the application is automatically denied due to the failure of the violator/property owner to comply with the conditions imposed by the City Commission, the violator/property owner shall thereafter be barred from applying for a subsequent reduction or forgiveness of the lien for a period of one (1) year from the date of denial. During the one-year period, the lien may only be satisfied and released upon full payment of the Ordinance No. 05-1157 Page 4 of 5
