Purpose

authorize the Conservation Planning and Zoning Director, Planning and Zoning Manager, County Conservationist, or Land Use/Sanitary Technican to issue citations for violations of Chapters 7, 8, 9, 22, 24, 25 and 26 of the Sauk County Code, pursuant to the authority provided under Chapter 20 of the Sauk County Code.

Background

Background:  The Sauk County Board of Supervisors adopted Ordinance # 4-2017 on March 21, 2017, repealing and recreating Chapter 20 of the Sauk County Code, Uniform Citation Ordinance, to implement an effective system of ordinance enforcement.   Section 20.04 of the Uniform Citation Ordinance specifically provides that the Sauk County Board of Supervisors can designate officials by resolution, other than law enforcement officers, to issue citations.     Sections 7.155, 8.017, 9.034, 18.08, 22.63, 24.20, 25.025, and 26.020 of the Sauk County Code of Ordinances provide for penalties and the enforcement of violations under such chapters.  The Sauk County Board of Supervisors did authorize, by resolution #214-00, the Planning and Zoning Director and Assistant Zoning Administrator to issue citations for zoning and land use violations, however, those positions no longer exist, creating the need for new authorizations.
