(A) General penalty. Whoever violates any provision of this code or other ordinance of this city for which another penalty is not specifically provided, shall be fined not more than $750 for each and every violation thereof, and every day the violation continues shall constitute a separate offense.
(1980 Code, § 33.101)
(B) Special penalties.
(1) Generally. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, special penalties are established for certain violations of the provisions of this code as provided in this section. In the event maximum penalties exceed those which may be imposed by the city as a home rule unit of local government pursuant to the provisions of § 6, Article VII (Local Government) of the Constitution of the state, or otherwise by law, the maximum penalties shall be deemed to be reduced to the allowable maximum.
(2) Notice of violation.
(a) Minimum penalties. The minimum penalty for any violation of this code for which a notice of violation is used pursuant to division (C) below, shall be that penalty prescribed for the violation if paid to the City Treasurer as provided therein. The minimum penalty shall not be deemed to include, however, the additional sum due under division (C) below if the penalty is not timely paid.
(b) Animal running at large. The city has determined that animals running at large are a nuisance to the public health, safety and welfare. Accordingly, in the event a person, firm or corporation violates § 90.010 or § 90.011 of this code, the minimum penalty for the offense shall be increased from the amount set forth in division (C) below by the sum of $25 for each and every offense beyond the first offense committed within the 24-month period preceding the date of an offense. Thus, for example, if within the preceding 24-month period from the date of an offense the person, firm or corporation has committed an offense one other time, the minimum penalty would be $150; or if two other times the minimum penalty would be $200. For purposes of this division, the dates of any offense are to be considered, rather than any other date such as the date of a finding of guilty. Additionally, only those offenses or violations are to be considered for which the person, firm or corporation has paid the penalty in response to a notice of violation or has been found guilty or entered a plea of guilty to the offense (even if thereafter place on supervision). This section shall not be construed to allow the presentation of evidence of earlier offenses at any hearing relative to any offense until the alleged offender has been found guilty or entered a plea of guilty to the offense involved. In addition to other proof as the court shall deem competent, a certificate of the Circuit Clerk, a certificate of the City Treasurer or a certificate of the Chief of Police or a records keeper of the City Police Department shall be prima facie evidence of prior violations.
(c) Cross connection control. In the event a person, firm or corporation is alleged to have violated the provisions of § 52.079(A), (B) or (C) or § 52.083(A) of this code, pertaining to cross connection control surveys and inspections, the minimum penalty for the offense shall be increased from the amount set forth in division (C) below as provided in this division. The penalty shall be increased by the sum of $25 for each and every violation subsequent to the first violation occurring within the 12- month period from the date of the first violation in the manner described in division (B)(2)(b) above.
(d) Early collection of garbage and trash. In the event a person, firm or corporation has violated the provisions of § 50.20 of this code, pertaining to the early time limit for the collection by a commercial collector of garbage, trash, grease or debris, the minimum penalty for the offense shall be increased from the amount set forth in division (C) below by the sum of $200 for each and every violation subsequent to the first violation occurring within the 12-month period from the date of first violation in the manner described in division (B)(2)(b) above.
(3) Peace disturbance. The minimum penalty for peace disturbance as set forth in § 132.01 of this code shall be $100 if the conduct on which the offense is based occurred in whole or in part in a public place. For purposes hereof, a public place shall include but not be limited to any place, premises or area to which the public as opposed to certain private individuals have a right to resort or access; a place, premises or area visited by many persons rather than simply a few; a place, premises or area exposed to the public; or a place, premises or area where the public gathers together or passes to and fro.

(6) Liquor; minors. The penalties drinking, purchasing or possessing alcoholic liquor, or misrepresenting one’s age for the purpose of purchasing or obtaining alcoholic liquor by any person under the age of 21 years of age, as set forth in § 111.084 of this code, shall be as follows:

(7) Transportation of liquor. The minimum penalty for violating § 111.095 of this code shall be $150.

Any person, firm or corporation who shall continue any work in or about a structure after having been served with a stop work order, except the work as that person is directed to perform to remove a violation or unsafe condition, shall be liable for a fine of not less than $100 and not more than $500.

(C) Notice of violation.
(1) Generally. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any person, firm or corporation alleged to have violated those provisions of the code hereinafter designated, shall be promptly issued a notice of violation alleging the offense. Notice of violation shall be in a form prescribed by the Chief of Police or other enforcing officer designated under this code, in consultation with the Corporation Counsel and the City Attorney consistent with applicable law and court rules. The notice of violation shall set forth the violation alleged and the penalty which may be paid to the City Treasurer. The penalty shall be in accordance with the schedule hereinafter provided in division (D) below, provided that the penalty prescribed shall be increased for violations of § 90.011 of this code, pertaining to dogs running at large and §§ 52.079 and 52.083 of this code, pertaining to cross connection controls, as provided in divisions (B)(2) and (B)(3) above. The person, firm or corporation shall be provided 14 days from the date of the notice of violation to pay the prescribed penalty. If not paid within the 14-day period, the person, firm or corporation shall be allowed an additional 14 days to pay the prescribed penalty plus a sum equal to the court costs would be assessable by the Circuit Court upon the disposition of the violation. The additional sum shall not be deemed to be or constitute the collection of court costs, but is merely the manner in which the additional sum is determined. Collection of this additional sum shall be waived by the Chief of Police, or his or her designate, or other enforcing officer designated under this code, upon receiving satisfactory proof or evidence that the person, firm or corporation did not receive actual notice of the issuance of the notice of violation during the initial period at which time payment could have been made without payment of the additional sum. Prior to the time designated for payment herein, the Water Superintendent, or his or her designate, shall further have the authority to waive collection of the prescribed penalty for alleged violations of §§ 52.079 and 52.083, pertaining to cross connection controls, upon receipt of satisfactory proof that the person, firm or corporation has complied or is in compliance with the requirements of the section. In the event that payment is made in accordance herewith, the payment shall be in full satisfaction of any penalty for the violation. Nothing herein shall prevent or preclude enforcement as provided or allowed by this code for separate, independent, prior or subsequent violations. In the event that payment is not made within the time periods prescribed, that is, within 28 days, a complaint, notice to appear or other appropriate document shall be filed by the Chief of Police or officer of the Police Department, or other appropriate person or other enforcing officer designated under this code or by an information initiated by the City Attorney, before a court of proper jurisdiction charging the violation.

(1) Generally.

In all cases where the same offense is made punishable or is created by different clauses or to sections of this code, the prosecuting officer may elect under which to proceed; but not more than one recovery shall be had against the same person for the same offense; provided that the revocation of a license or permit shall not be considered a recovery or penalty so as to bar any other penalty being enforced.
(1980 Code, § 32.007)

The fee shall, in no event, be payable to the general fund of any unit of government.

(e) No defendant whose sole income is any form of disability payment from the United States Social Security Administration shall be assessed any trial or appearance fee under any of the provisions of division (J)(1) of this division: provided, however; this exception is not applicable to persons found guilty of violating any provision of Chapter 111 of the code of the city and both appearance and trial fees, as applicable, shall be assessed by the court in those cases;
(f) Where two or more charges are tried, presented or resolved in the court appearance, the court shall assess trial and appearance fees as set forth in division (J)(1) of this division for whichever case results in the higher aggregate trial and appearance fee and deem the trial and appearance fee waived in the case or cases which would result in a lesser fee; the policy of the city being to require but one payment for one trial or appearance.
