A. Delinquency of Administrative Fine. Payment of an administrative fine is delinquent thirty days after the fine becomes due and payable. A delinquent administrative fine will be treated as an account receivable by the city and will be subject to the city’s established policy for delinquent accounts payable. Furthermore, the city will also be required to pay to the city its actual cost of collection.
B. Delinquency Penalty. Any person who fails to pay to the city the amount of any fine imposed pursuant to this chapter, on or before the date that fine amount is due, is liable for the payment of an additional delinquency penalty. The delinquency penalty is equal to ten percent of the amount due the city, or ten percent of the amount of the fine remaining unpaid to the city if a portion of the fine amount was timely paid. Interest shall accrue on all delinquent accounts, exclusive of delinquent penalties at the rate of one-half of one percent per month, pro rata, of the total delinquent fine amount, from the date the fine becomes delinquent until the date that all delinquent fine amounts are paid to the city.
