The failure of any person to pay the civil fines assessed by an administrative citation within the time specified on the citation may result in the matter being referred to the city to file a claim with the small claims court. Alternatively, the city may pursue any other legal remedy to collect the civil fines, including the appointment of a private collection agency, acting on behalf of the city, as its agent, to pursue and collect fines as determined by contract agreement and approved by the city council. The city may also recover its collection's costs, along with fines assessed, according to proof of attempts to collect the debt.
