Any person violating the provisions of this chapter or any rules issued hereunder may be issued a civil citation in lieu of a uniform infraction citation and shall be assessed a civil penalty of twenty five dollars ($25.00) to be paid to the City. The civil citation assessment shall be payable at City Hall within thirty (30) days from the date of issuance. No partial payments will be accepted as full payment. If, within the thirty (30) day period following the issuance of the City civil citation the assessment has not been paid, an infraction uniform citation or sworn complaint may be issued for the violation of this chapter or the rules, and the violator, if found guilty, will be fined in the amount of twenty five dollars ($25.00) for the violation plus court costs. Nothing contained herein prohibits a law enforcement officer from issuance of a uniform infraction citation instead of a civil citation. (Ord. 573, 7-11-2017, eff. 1-1-2018)
