The city adopts as its traffic fine schedule for state offenses the "Traffic Bail Forfeiture Schedule" and the "Oversize Vehicle Bail Forfeiture Schedule" in Administrative Rules 43.1 and 43.6 of the Alaska Rules of Court and any other bail forfeiture schedules relating to vehicles adopted by the Alaska Supreme Court. In addition, the city adopts all amendments of those schedules that become effective after the effective date of this chapter. Citations for offenses listed on these schedules may be disposed of as provided in A.S. 12.25.195 - 12.25.230, without a court appearance, upon payment of the amounts listed plus the state surcharge required by A.S. 12.55.039 and A.S. 29.25.074. Fines must be paid to the court. If a person charged with one of these offenses appears in court and is found guilty, the penalty imposed for the offense may not exceed the amount listed for that offense on the schedule. Citations charging these offenses must meet the requirements of Minor Offense Rule 3 of the Alaska Rules of Court. If an offense is not listed on the fine schedule, the defendant must appear in court to answer to the charges.
