The process is designed to provide a measure of certainty to the citizens of Hood River that violations will be addressed promptly and decisively and to ensure that the due process rights of those accused of infractions are protected. This chapter shall apply to all infractions of any provision of the Hood River Municipal Code and any other regulatory ordinance adopted by the City and also provides a mechanism for enforcing the requirements of any permit, license or other approval granted by the City. This chapter shall not apply to criminal matters and does not provide for criminal sanctions. (Ord. 2063 §1 (Exh. A), 2021)
