(3) The town further adopts the scale for violations and further approves the form of the ticket to be used for citing violators with a recommendation of the proposed minimum and maximum fines to be set by the enforcement authority (town’s Stormwater Department) for violators choosing to pay out of court with the above scale to apply to violations resolved by payment through the “no contest” procedure. It is understood that the administrative costs could increase through a court proceeding where additional evidence is presented to show the administrative cost and other related costs that a violator could be subject to based upon evidence presented in the Town Court proceeding.
