A. The city council finds that costs incurred by enforcement officials and other city personnel to correct violations should be recovered from the responsible person.

B. The city council further finds that the assessment of costs is an appropriate method to recover expenses incurred for actual costs of abating violations, reinspection fees, filing fees, attorney fees, hearing examiner fees, title search, and any additional actual costs incurred by the city for each individual case. The assessment and collection of costs shall not preclude the imposition of any judicial fees or fines for violations of the Midvale Municipal Code or applicable state codes. (Ord. 8/27/2002A (part))
