Any person violating the provisions of this chapter or any executive order issued pursuant this chapter, shall be guilty of an offense against the Village and shall be punishable by a fine as provided in the general penalty set forth in section 1-25 of this Code. At the discretion of the Village officer or agent who observes the violation, a person accused of a violation of this chapter or any declaration or order issued by the Mayor pursuant to this chapter may be issued a compliance ticket in lieu of a citation or arrest warrant for the violation. A compliance ticket must be settled by paying to the Village in accordance with the restrictions provided on the compliance ticket an administration fee in the amount of fifty dollars ($50.00) within ten (10) days of the date of issuance. In the event payment of the fifty dollars ($50.00) administration fee has not been obtained within said ten (10) day period, the administration fee will be increased to one hundred dollars ($100.00) for the period beginning the eleventh day and including the thirteenth day after issuance of the compliance ticket and the offender shall have until the close of business on the thirteenth day after issuance to pay the increased fee. After the thirteenth day, the Village shall determine whether a notice of appearance will be issued or the past due fee will be referred for collection or whether payment of the fine will remain acceptable. If the offender does not settle the claim including both payment of the administration fee and compliance, where required, the Village may use other legal remedies including, but not limited to, the issuance of a criminal complaint, the issuance of a notice to appear in court or the referral to a collection agency for said violation and the offender shall be subject to the fines and penalties set forth in the applicable provisions of this Code.
