§ 32.14 FILING AND PROSECUTION OF VIOLATION COMPLAINT.
   When a citation has been issued for violation of an enforcement provision of this code and the violation is a traffic offense as described in § 32.11(B), or is some other kind of offense and the time period allowed for compromise and settlement of the complaint as provided by § 32.13(A) and § 32.07 has elapsed, the Clerk-Treasurer shall deliver a copy of the complaint and summons to the City Attorney, who shall file the complaint in the name of the city with the Clerk of the County Court, or other court of competent jurisdiction, and prosecute the complaint in accordance with state law and applicable rules of the court. However, the City Attorney may prescribe a different procedure for filing the complaint with respect to any class of violation if he or she deems such an alternative procedure more suitable and expedient. For the services and functions of the City Attorney as provided in this section, the court, upon conviction of the offender, shall assess as part of the judgment in favor of the city, and in addition to any fine imposed, a municipal prosecutor’s fee in the amount prescribed by state law. The prosecutor’s fee shall be assessed whether or not the City Attorney actually makes a personal appearance at the trial of the cause of the complaint.
