In the Council's consideration and deliberation with respect to the regulations in this chapter, the Council has determined that the protection and promotion of the public health, safety, and welfare requires the adoption of this chapter to provide a means for the village to recover costs and expenses of emergency response and prosecution as part of a sentence for the conviction of persons committing certain offenses as permitted by and described in Act 345 of 1998, or local ordinances substantially corresponding to those offenses, and to exercise the authority in Public Act No. 102 of 1990, as amended, and other laws that provide for the assessment and collection of fees or costs for emergency responses. In addition to any other penalty authorized by law, the court may order the person convicted to reimburse the village for expenses incurred in relation to that incident including but not limited to expenses for an emergency response and expenses for prosecuting the person as provided in this chapter.
