Unless indicated otherwise, a violation of any provision of this Chapter shall be deemed a civil infraction and, as such, may be prosecuted in the municipal court or through the City's administrative hearing process, or both. In either event, the City shall be required to prove the violation only by a preponderance of the evidence except when a defendant is charged with committing multiple civil infractions, and incarceration is a penalty. In such event, in a municipal court prosecution, the standard of proof shall be beyond a reasonable doubt. The standard of proof in any administrative abatement hearing shall be by a preponderance of the evidence. (Ord. 453 § 2, 2024)
