A. Whenever in this code or in any ordinance of the city any act is prohibited or is made or declared to be unlawful or an offense, or whenever in this code or any ordinance the doing of any act is required or the failure to do any act is declared to be unlawful, where no specific penalty is provided therefor, the violation of any such provision of this code or any ordinance shall be punishable by a fine of not less than fifty dollars ($50.00) nor more than seven hundred fifty dollars ($750.00) 1 . Each day that a violation is permitted to exist shall constitute a separate offense.
B. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection A of this section, upon any prosecution for any violation of any section of this code, the court may, in lieu of or in addition to any other penalty or finding, impose "supervision", being a disposition of conditional and revocable release without probationary supervision, but under such conditions and reporting requirements as may be imposed by the court.
1. In the event conditions and/or reporting requirements of supervision shall be required by the court, such conditions and reporting requirements shall be entered by the court by order deferring future proceedings in the case and specifying any or all of the following:
a. The period of supervision (reasonable under all circumstances of the case):
(1) Up to two (2) years from the date of entry of the order; and/or
(2) Requirement that the defendant:
(A) Make a report to and appear in person before or participate with the court or such courts, person or social service agency as directed by the court in the order of supervision;
(B) Pay a fine and costs;
(C) Work or pursue a course of study or vocational training;
(D) Undergo medical or psychiatric treatment or treatment for drug addiction or alcoholism;
(E) Attend or reside in a facility established for the instruction or residence of defendants on probation;
(F) Support his dependents;
(G) Refrain from possessing a firearm or other dangerous weapon;
(H) And in addition, if a minor:
(i) Reside with his parents or in a foster home;
(ii) Attend school;
(iii) Attend a nonresidential program for youth; and
(iv) Contribute to his own support.
(I) Make restitution or reparation in an amount not to exceed actual loss or damage to property and pecuniary loss. The court shall determine the amount and conditions of payment; and/or
(J) Perform some reasonable public service work such as, but not limited to, the picking up of litter in public parks or along public highways or the maintenance of public facilities.
2. In the event the court enters an order of supervision, if the court thereafter determines that the defendant has successfully complied with all of the conditions of supervision, the court shall discharge the defendant and enter a judgment dismissing the charge. Discharge and dismissal upon a successful conclusion of a disposition of supervision shall be deemed without adjudication of guilt and shall not be termed a conviction for purposes of disqualification or disabilities imposed by law upon conviction of a misdemeanor.
3. No person assigned to a public service employment program shall be considered an employee for any purpose, nor shall the mayor or city council be obliged to provide any compensation to such person.
4. A disposition of supervision is a final order for the purpose of appeal.
C. For purposes of this section, "court" means any court of competent jurisdiction and the system of administrative adjudication of the city of Countryside created by chapter 12 of this title. (Ord. 12-10-0, 2-25-2012)
