Any fine, charge, penalty or payment due on or after the effective date of this section, pursuant to any provision in this Code and remains 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 collection agency of the Village's choosing. Any such collection agency shall, for purposes of collection of such fine, charge, penalty or payment, be deemed an agent of the Village. All costs incurred by the Village for the collection of any fines, charges, penalties or payments transferred to any such collection agency shall be assessed against the responsible person as an additional fine, charge, penalty or payment, subject to any applicable statutory limits.
In the event that corporation counsel retains attorneys or private collection agents for the purpose of collecting any default in payment of any fine or penalty or installment of that fine or penalty, any fees or costs incurred by the Village with respect to the services and expenses of the attorneys or private collection agents retained by the corporation counsel shall be charged to the offender or other responsible person.
