§ 1.16 FEE FOR LATE PAYMENT OF CIVIL FINE.
   (a)   A late payment fee of 10% of the civil fine amount shall be imposed if the person responsible for the violation fails to pay the civil fine within 25 calendar days after issuance of the administrative citation or fails to timely request a mediation and hearing pursuant to this Article II.
   (b)   If a civil fine is not paid within the time specified and no request for an administrative conference is timely received, the nonpayment of the civil fine shall constitute a personal obligation of the violator that may be collected by any appropriate legal means. If the fine was imposed for a property-related violation, including excessive nuisance service calls pursuant to § 12.15 of this city code, the city may assess the applicable property pursuant to § 1.19 of this code. However, nothing in this section shall be construed to limit the city’s other available legal remedies for any violation of the law, including the prosecution of criminal, civil or injunctive actions against the offender.
