(1) In the case of a minor, the parents or legal guardian shall be jointly and severally liable with the minor for payment of all fines and costs.
(2) Failure of the parents or legal guardian to make payment will result in the filing of a lien on the parents' or legal guardian's property that includes the fines and administrative costs.
(3) Upon the application and finding of indigence, the court may decline to order fines against the minor, parents, or guardian.
(b) Restitution. In addition to any punishment specified in this section, the court may order any violator to make restitution to the city for the expense of the fire and/or police departments or to any ambulance provider for their services that were not needed or for any other damages or loss caused, directly or indirectly, by the violator's offense in the amount or manner determined by the court. In the case of a minor, the parents or legal guardian shall be ordered jointly and severally liable with the minor for liquidated damages in an amount equal to the cost billed by the city's police and/or fire departments.
(c) Community service. In lieu of, or as part of, the penalties specified in this section, a minor or adult may be required by the court to perform community service as described by the court based on the following minimum requirements:
