notify the complainant in writing.
(b) If the City Attorney determines probable cause exists, the City Attorney may
notify Fort Collins Police Services, who, in consultation with the City Attorney, may
file and serve a summons and complaint to the respondent. The City Attorney retains

Attorney determines filing a summons and complaint is inappropriate, he or she shall so
notify the City Clerk, who will, in turn, notify the complainant and respondent in
writing.

Notwithstanding the above, nothing in this Article shall be read to preclude the City

to, hiring special counsel, if deemed necessary and advisable under the circumstances.
Sec. 7-148. Complaint not required for City action.

scale issue committee or political committee for any violation of this Chapter,

Sec. 7-149. Administrative procedures.
The City Manager is charged with ultimate authority to pursue complaints under this
Article and is hereby authorized to adopt administrative regulations consistent with the
provisions of this Article.
Sec. 7-150. Action by complainant.
(a) After having received written notification from the City Clerk pursuant to § 7-

or after one hundred eighty (180) days of filing the complaint, whichever is first, the
complainant may bring a civil action in District Court.
(b) The complainant has one (1) year from the date of the violation to bring such
suit.
(c) The complainant may sue to compel compliance with this Article, provided
however, that complainant must first file a complaint with the City Clerk, pursuant to
Section 7-145, and otherwise exhausts his or her administrative remedies.
(d) Any person who knowingly violates this Article may be civilly liable in an
amount up to two thousand dollars ($2,000.), or, if applicable, three (3) times the
amount of the discrepancy, whichever is greater.
(e) Reasonable attorneys' fees for the prevailing party may be awarded if the
amount of civil liability alleged is greater than seven thousand five hundred dollars
($7,500.).

seriousness of the violation and culpability of the defendant.
