(A) Whenever in this code the doing of any act or the omission to do any act constitutes a breach of any section or provision of this code, and there shall be no fine or penalty declared for such breach, any person who shall be convicted of such breach shall be fined not less than $100 and not more than $750 for each offense. When applicable, each day during which a violation is permitted to exist shall be considered a separate and distinct offense.
(B) Whenever any fine, charge, penalty or payment is due pursuant to any provision in this code and is not paid after the village sends, mails or otherwise delivers notice (unless a different period is stated elsewhere in this code) to the person responsible for such fine, charge, penalty or payment (the “responsible person”), the village may transfer such fine, charge, penalty or payment to a private collection agency of the village’s choosing or to an attorney for collection purposes. Any such collection agency or attorney shall, for purposes of collection of such fine, charge, penalty or payment, be deemed an agent of the village. All costs or attorneys’ fees incurred by the village for the collection of any fines, charges, penalties or payments transferred to any such collection agency or attorney shall be assessed against the responsible person as an additional fine, charge, penalty or payment, subject to any applicable statutory limits.
