for Violations of the Municipal Code (610-20)
A comprehensive update to the Dublin Municipal Code (DMC) is currently underway. Staff
anticipates that each chapter will include an enforcement provision, which indicates whether a

Section 1.04.030, which establishes the general penalty provisions for the DMC. Thus, Staff
recommends that DMC Section 1.04.030 be revised at the outset to properly serve as the
DMC's general penalty provision. At its February 6,2007 meeting, the Council conducted a
public hearing, waived the reading and introduced the Ordinance.

1.04.030 of the Dublin Municipal Code Relating to Penalties for Violation of the Municipal
Code.
