1. Level A violations shall be subject to a fine of up to one hundred dollars ($100.00) for a first violation, a fine of up to two hundred dollars ($200.00) for a second violation of the same ordinance within one year, or a fine of up to five hundred dollars ($500.00) for each additional violation of the same ordinance within one year. Level A violations shall include all violations designated as an infraction by this code.
2. Level B violations shall be subject to a fine of up to one thousand dollars ($1,000.00). Level B violations shall include all violations designated as a misdemeanor by this code.
Unless otherwise provided for by ordinance, all administrative violations will be deemed a level B violation.
(B) At the time of issuance of a notice of administrative violation pursuant to section 1-4A-14 of this chapter, the enforcement authority shall evaluate in writing the criteria set forth in section 1-4A-5 of this article to determine the appropriate level of sanction and shall provide written notice to the responsible person of the proposed level of sanction and the reasons therefor as required by section 1-4A-14 of this chapter.
(C) Where multiple violations have occurred or are occurring, each violation of this code or other applicable laws shall be subject to a separate sanction.
(D) The enforcement authority shall have no power or discretion to void any notice of administrative violation until after a meeting with the enforcement authority's supervisor as provided for in section 1-4A-33 of this chapter. If a notice of administrative violation is voided, the enforcement authority shall provide written justification for such action to the city manager. (Ord. 1572, 4-24-2001)
