In the event the nuisance is not voluntarily abated the matter shall be referred to County Counsel for review. County Counsel shall determine if probable cause exists to institute enforcement action. The foregoing shall be independent of any criminal enforcement action which the Sierra County District Attorney deems appropriate within the purview of the District Attorney’s prosecutorial discretion.

If the County Counsel finds that probable cause exists, the County Counsel may and is hereby authorized to:

A. Institute a civil enforcement action; and/or

B. Prepare an abatement order and submit the latter to the Code Enforcement Officer for issuance and enforcement; and/or

C. Take such other step available at law or in equity to carry out the provisions of this chapter.

In the event County Counsel determines that an enforcement action should not be taken, County Counsel shall so notify the referring department of such decision within 30 days of the referral. (Ord. 775, eff. 9/19/91)
