§ 4-2-3 — SUMMARY PROCEEDINGS

4-2-3: SUMMARY PROCEEDINGS:

If evidence exists to substantiate the belief that nuisance activities exist or have occurred on the property such that emergency action is necessary to avoid an immediate threat to public welfare and safety, the Chief of Police may immediately notify the City Attorney and request that summary proceedings begin to secure immediately a closure of the premises. Summary proceedings to obtain an immediate closure of the property shall be pursuant to rule 65(b) of the Rules of Civil Procedure for the issuance of a temporary restraining order. The use of summary proceedings does not preclude the exercise of other emergency procedures. (1952 Code § 8-18-03)
