(A) Pursuant to the provisions of W.Va. Code §§ 8-11-1 and 8-11-1a, there is hereby imposed, in addition to any other costs which may lawfully be imposed, an additional cost of an amount set by Council from time to time upon the conviction for violation of a municipal ordinance, except that such additional cost shall not be assessed for a traffic offense that is not a moving violation or an offense for which the ordinance does not provide for a period of incarceration. Of the imposed amount set by Council from time to time, as an additional cost, an amount set by Council from time to time shall be an administrative cost to be retained by the city.
(B) The Clerk of the Municipal Court, or such person designated to receive fines and costs, shall at the end of each month pay into the regional jail and prison development fund in the state treasury an amount set by Council from time to time of the costs collected in each proceeding except for traffic offenses that are not moving violations: provided, that in a case where a defendant has failed to pay all costs assessed against him or her, no payment shall be made to the Regional Jail and Prison Development Fund unless and until the defendant has paid all costs which, when paid, are available for the sum and benefit of the city.
