I think the previous notice was "In 24 hours we will be enforcing all bylaws & issuing tickets", where as today's notice is "You have 24 hours to remove your tents or we will do it by force" and they appear to be issuing tickets today.

I assume the city's process is a 3 step plan of attack.
First Step - You are in violation of the bylaw
Second Step - You are still in violation of the bylaws, here's your written warning
Third Step - Forceable removal of tents from the plaza

If it comes down to a possible legal challenge the city can say the protesters were given three chances to vacate before the city stepped in.
