12-1-5: CRIMINAL PROSECUTION RIGHT:
The Town of Alta has sole discretion in deciding whether to file a civil or criminal case for the violation of any of its ordinances. The enactment of the administrative remedies set forth in this Title shall in no way interfere with the Town of Alta's right to prosecute ordinance violations as criminal offenses in a court of law. The Town of Alta may use any of the remedies available under the law in both civil and criminal prosecution. If the Town of Alta chooses to file both civil and criminal charges for the same day of a violation, no civil fines may be assessed, but all other remedies will be available.
