§ 8183-5.7.3. Notice of increase in civil penalties.

Notwithstanding an appeal of a previously imposed penalty pursuant to Section 8183-5.7.5, the Enforcement Officer may increase the amount of the penalty if the violation continues uncorrected and the circumstances warrant an increase considering the factors set forth in Section 8183-5.7.4. To impose the increase, the Enforcement Officer must first serve a notice of increase in civil penalties upon the violator that shall state:

(a)

The amount of the increase of the daily civil penalty;

(b)

The effective date of the increase, which date shall not be less than thirty (30) days from the date of service of the notice; and

(c)

That the amount of the increase, if contested, may be appealed, but only in accordance with Section 8183-5.7.5.

The amount of the penalty then in effect prior to the increase may not be appealed.
