.010 This chapter makes any violation of the provisions of this Code subject to civil fines as herein set forth.
.020 This chapter establishes the administrative procedure for the imposition, enforcement, collection, and administrative review of civil fines pursuant to Government Code Section 53069.4 and the City's general police power as a charter city.
.030 The purpose of issuing civil citations pursuant to this chapter is to encourage voluntary and complete compliance with the provisions of this Code without the imposition of criminal penalties.
.040 The issuance of a civil citation under this chapter is solely at the City's discretion and is only one option the City has to address violations of this Code. By adopting this chapter, the City does not intend to limit its discretion, or the discretion of its officers and employees, to use any other remedy, civil or criminal, which may be available in a particular case. The procedure set forth in this chapter may be used as an alternative to, or in conjunction with, any other available civil and/or criminal remedies. (Ord. 5930 1 (part); July 27, 2004.)
